Genoa react angrily to a refereeing decision following a 2-0 defeat to Napoli, with club officials pointing to a controversial Kevin De Bruyne goal. Genoa director Diego Lopez says they anticipated controversy and argues the decision was clear enough that “all of Italy saw what happened today.” The match ends with Napoli winning 2-0, and Genoa’s anger centres on the moment leading to the goal.
The outlets describing the incident focus on Genoa’s post-match response rather than disputing the result itself. Football Italia and Yahoo Sports both attribute the criticism to Lopez, framing his comments as a direct challenge to the referee’s handling of the situation. While the reports agree on Genoa’s public stance and the specific goal they cite, they provide limited additional detail about the referee’s rationale or the exact technical aspects of the decision.
Overall, the story highlights how a single goal becomes the focal point for Genoa’s complaint, contrasting Genoa’s view of the incident with the broader match outcome of Napoli’s victory.
