Napoli has been fined 15,000 euros ($23,790 Cdn) after its fans pointed lasers at the eyes of AC Milan goalkeeper Dida.

The incident occurred in the first half of a 2-2 draw Wednesday. Dida complained to the referee during the game.

Also Thursday, Genoa was fined 30,000 euros ($47,580 Cdn) by the Italian league after fans spit at a linesman and hit him with a coin during a 2-1 win over Fiorentina a day earlier.
