Juventus hosted Napoli at Allianz Stadium on November 1, with a match marred by officiating controversies. Juventus scored two goals in the second half, but discussions arose regarding a potential red card for Koopmeiners, who fouled Anguissa early in the match. Despite the severity of this challenge, referee Sozza opted not to issue a card, leading to criticism from media sources. Commentators noted that another Napoli player, Lucumi, was also at risk of a second yellow but remained in the match. The conflicting opinions on the officiating will likely overshadow Juventus' performance.
