**Rome, Italy** – Controversy erupted following AS Roma’s 2-1 victory over Napoli in a Serie A clash at the Stadio Olimpico on February 2nd, 2025. Former referee and DAZN pundit Luca Marelli criticized match official Fabbri for failing to award Napoli a penalty after a challenge by Roma’s Manu Kone on Scott McTominay inside the Roma penalty area.
While Fabbri deemed the incident a fair challenge, replays appear to show Kone using his arm to push McTominay. This has sparked debate amongst fans and analysts alike, with many arguing that a penalty should have been given. The incident occurred during a closely fought match, ultimately decided by a narrow 2-1 scoreline for the home side.
