Kevin De Bruyne goal controversy in Serie A
Overview
A controversial goal scored by Kevin De Bruyne during a Serie A match between Genoa and Napoli has triggered debate over officiating and VAR protocols. The incident involved contact between De Bruyne and Genoa defender Vásquez, where the midfielder appeared to use his forearm on the defender’s back.
Initial reactions were divided. Former referee Marco Gabriele suggested the contact was irregular and that the referee, Di Bello, should have halted play. Conversely, journalist Carlo Alvino defended the decision, calling the backlash an “indegna gazzarra” (unworthy fuss) and suggesting the controversy was an attempt to destabilize Napoli.
Following the match, De Bruyne addressed the incident to Corriere dello Sport, describing the contact as “fifty fifty” and noting that interpretation depends on the viewing angle. Meanwhile, journalist Paolo De Paola argued on Radio Napoli Centrale that the goal was irregular, asserting that defenders are often penalized for similar physical actions.
