Italian media outlets have highlighted two controversial incidents from the Juventus vs Napoli Serie A clash, suggesting both teams could have been reduced to ten men early in the game.
According to post-match analysis, Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners committed a foul worthy of a straight red card in the 10th minute, while Napoli defender Jhon Lucumi was also deemed to have deserved dismissal for a separate challenge. Both incidents were reviewed by the video assistant referee (VAR), but no red cards were issued during the match.
The debate adds to the ongoing scrutiny of officiating standards in Italian football.
