The former referee Gianpaolo Calvarese commented on the columns of Allsportsthe work of the Juventus-Napoli referee Daniele Doveri: “He takes home a match that proved easier than expected (…). There is no indirect free kick in favor of Juventus that would have been taken on the goal line: the Napoli full-back’s desire to stop it in favor of the goalkeeper is clear (as can be seen from the Uruguayan’s broad gestures) who however, instead of clearing it or playing it with his feet, takes it with his hands given the pressing of Nico Gonzalez.
Thiago Motta, booked for protesting, is right to claim the penalty. In general, a few more whistles could have been expected, but he never lets the game slip away from him”.
