The fallout from Sunday’s Serie A showdown between Napoli and Inter Milan has taken a dramatic turn, as referee Maurizio Mariani and assistant referee Daniele Bindoni are set to face suspension following a controversial penalty decision.
The incident occurred during a critical moment in the match, when Napoli were awarded a penalty that many observers – including officiating experts – have since described as a “serious error.”
Adding to the controversy, VAR assistant Valerio Marini may also face disciplinary action for failing to recommend an on-field review. Reports indicate that the Italian Referees’ Association (AIA) views the oversight as a lapse in the proper use of VAR protocol.
With the Serie A title race heating up, this decision has reignited debates around officiating standards and VAR consistency in Italian football.
