Last night in Napoli-Inter everything happened between brawls, refereeing errors, penalties, and all kinds of controversies. The analysis of the refereeing decisions for this match of the eighth round of Serie A focuses on the many refereeing incidents that sparked much debate already during the match itself, with a lot of nervousness on the field and endless chaos.
La Gazzetta dello Sport analyzes this morning all the refereeing incidents from last night’s match at the Maradona and sheds light on the many mistakes made by the referee Maurizio Mariani—but also by his assistant Bindoni, who led him to the mistake on Di Lorenzo—and highlights how even for Inter’s penalty he needed the VAR.
This is the analysis by the pink newspaper on the match: “In the 12th minute, Lautaro deserved a yellow for a foul on Buongiorno: spared. In the 29th minute, the blunder: Mkhitaryan hits Di Lorenzo’s outstretched leg but it’s all minor, a soft penalty. Mariani lets play continue, after 8 seconds he turns and awards the penalty: ‘tip-off’ from the first assistant Bindoni, not a penalty but with VAR not intervening and confirming. Mariani 4: referees on delay.”
