Serie A, €5,000 fine for Napoli: Sports Judge’s decision after matchday six | OneFootball

The Sports Judge has announced the decisions related to the sixth matchday of Serie A, with several financial penalties for the involved clubs. Among the fined companies is also Antonio Conte's Napoli, which will have to pay a fine of 5,000 euros for the behavior of its fans during the match played at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.

Napoli, the Sports Judge fines the club: the reason

According to what is reported in the official statement, the fine was imposed on the Neapolitan club "for having its supporters, at the 35th minute of the first half, directed a laser light beam towards a player of the opposing team". An isolated incident but enough to push the Sports Judge to intervene with a monetary sanction. The decision was however mitigated in accordance with article 29, paragraph 1, letters b) and d) of the Sports Justice Code, which allows a reduction of the penalty in the presence of mitigating circumstances, such as the immediate intervention of the company to prevent the repetition of the incorrect behavior.

In addition to Napoli, Hellas Verona also received an identical sanction of 5,000 euros for a similar incident, always related to the use of a laser by fans during the match. Other clubs have instead suffered smaller fines: 2,000 euros to Bologna for throwing plastic cups in the playing enclosure, 1,500 euros to Lecce for the launch of a smoke bomb and 1,500 euros to Parma for a bottle thrown on the playing field. On the disciplinary front, only one player was disqualified after this matchday: Idrissa Touré from Pisa, expelled for a direct red in the away game against Bologna. First warning in the championship, instead, for Petar Sucic, protagonist in the match won 4-1 against Cremonese.
