Napoli late Saturday came from behind to beat Juventus 3-1 thanks to two controversial spot kicks they were awarded after equalizing the guests' opening goal.
Referee Mauro Bergonzi called the second spot kick when the 29 -year-old Uruguayan, a former Juve striker, came face to face with the onrushing goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and dove above him simulating a contact.
Bergonzi, who was shortlisted to be named international later this year, appeared also to have misjudged the first spot kick. It is believed that referee selector Pierluigi Collina will sideline him for about one month and have him resume officiating from the lower division.
