Pongracic arm in the area, was it a penalty? Protests in Fiorentina-Inter

It all happens during the first half. Dumfries goes down the right for the umpteenth time and puts in a cross that hits Pongracic’s arm. Protests from the Nerazzurri players were immediate, with Barella the first to raise his arms to claim the penalty, but the referee Colombo let it go and the VAR did not call him back.

The images show how after a bounce the ball arrives towards Pongracic, who ends up intervening with his arm, which is actually wide, to hit it with his chest. However, the movement was deemed appropriate by Colombo, amidst the Nerazzurri’s protests.
