Genoa's director, Diego Lopez, expressed frustration after their 2-0 loss to Napoli on August 22, stating that "all of Italy saw" the controversial goal by Kevin De Bruyne. The incident occurred when Johan Vasquez, a Genoa defender, was nudged from behind by De Bruyne while shielding a loose ball, leading to the Belgian's goal. Referee Marco Di Bello, who had previously made errors in previous matches involving Napoli, initially signaled for a goal, but changed his mind after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) deemed the push on Vasquez as not being a clear and obvious error. Napoli went on to win the match 2-0, with De Bruyne setting up Antonio Vergara for the second goal.
