Saturday’s Serie A match between Napoli and Inter provoked new controversies surrounding refereeing. The result was the removal of the main referee of the match, Mariani, for further games of the local championship. This season, he worked on two Serie A matches, a Champions League match (Liverpool v Atletico Madrid) and the U-20 World Cup final. Along with him, his assistant Bindoni, who lacked clarity in certain episodes, was suspended.

A controversial episode with a penalty in favor of Napoli and a missed shot forced the CAN branch to intervene. Inter expressed displeasure at Gilmour’s foul and referee Mariani awarding a penalty just eight seconds after the incident.

Referee Mariani is currently suspended and can only be involved in matches as a VAR referee, or as a referee in Serie B. His assistants will also miss the upcoming games.
