Overview

• Gazzetta dello Sport, via Football Italia, reports AIA dissatisfaction with Antonio Rapuano’s display and that he is expected to be assigned to Serie B in the coming weeks.
• The 1-1 draw hinged on a late handball penalty against Joao Mario confirmed after an on-field review and converted by Gift Orban for Verona’s equaliser.
• Italian papers Gazzetta, Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport say Orban should have been sent off for elbowing Federico Gatti, faulting VAR official Gianluca Aureliano for not intervening.
• Former referee Luca Marelli told DAZN the correct decision was a red card for Orban, saying the striker appeared to aim at Gatti’s face.
• Igor Tudor called the penalty "shameful" and also attacked Lega Serie A scheduling, noting Juventus played three matches in seven days compared with Napoli’s three in nine, as some pundits like Fabio Ravezzani accused him of hypocrisy.
