Napoli defeated Juventus 3-1 last night the Stadio San Paolo after Maurizio Domizzi converted two extremely controversial penalties. The Juventus players were angered at the shocking refereeing performance.
Alessandro Del Piero gave the visitors the lead just a minute after the break but an equaliser from Walter Gargano and then two controversial Maurizio Domizzi penalties turned the game around for the home side.
Dodgy refereeing
Juve conceded two controversial penalties on the night and Juve president Cobolli Gigli barked: "I do not even need to see the incidents again on the slow-motion replay. They were so clear even from the stands that even the Napoli fans near me recognised the errors.
"I have to wonder how on earth the referee and his assistants did not see them.
"We want to be judged by what we do on the field. We went into Serie B, returned in A and we are earning our position for a good season.
"We cannot be treated this way. It is not possible that the authorities did not see what happened today. Nobody will give us back our three points, but we do need the referees to officiate our games without all this pressure. I have never seen anything like it."
Players hit out
"When these things happen, it is quite simply a scandal," noted David Trezeguet as he left the arena.
"It's absolutely scandalous," added defender Nicola Legrottaglie and creative midfielder Raffaele Palladino.
