Napoli finished the match at the San Siro with nine men, and lost 1-0 to Inter. Koulibaly was the first to be dismissed, and coach Carlo Ancelotti reacted strongly to the referee's decision. After the match, Ancellotti commented: "Conversation with Mazzoleni after the match? I asked him information about the sending off, that's it. It determined the outcome in a way, it was a crucial moment. We even had a chance to win with 10 men, but our spirits were disjointed a bit by the end. Allegri's comments? I didn't hear them. But there was a abnormal atmosphere, we asked for the suspension of the match from the Federal Judge and three times they decreed an announcement over the PA. The player's nerves were shaken, he was nervous. Kouibaly is always well behaved and a professional, and doesn't often let himself go. But the chanting went on the entire match. We asked three times to do something but it just went on. The solution? The match can be stopped but they need to have an idea when. After four announcements? Three? Four? The players were agitated, nervous. And this is not good for Italian football. And playing with a mentality that isn't calm, it's inevitable."
