A Napoli supporter was allegedly stabbed by his wife at their home after an argument broke out when he lost his temper while watching a match on TV, Italian media reported.
The 40-year-old became frustrated as his side lost 2-1 to Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday, according to L'Unione Sarda daily newspaper.
He reportedly shouted insults at the TV after a controversial VAR decision overturned a penalty that had been awarded to Napoli.
The man's 35-year-old wife believed the abuse was aimed at her, resulting in a massive argument between the pair, the newspaper reported.
The woman is said to have threatened her husband and told him that she would stab him if he did not leave the room.
When he refused, she reportedly threw a pair of scissors at him, missing her target.
The woman then grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her husband in his left side, according to reports. The man is said to have then called the police, during which time his wife allegedly threw more knives at him, one of which was lodged in a wall.
Police arrived at the property and arrested the woman on several charges, including domestic violence and aggravated assault, the newspaper reported.
The man was reportedly taken to the Ospedale del Mare hospital, where he was treated for injuries described as non-life-threatening.
Reigning Italian champions Napoli are currently third in the Serie A table, four points behind AC Milan and 14 points adrift of leaders Inter Milan.
