According to several sources, Andrea Pirlo scored 28 goals from free kicks in Serie A, which would make him the all–time highest goalscorer from set–pieces in Serie A history, alongside Siniša Mihajlović;[39][40] however, two of his claimed goals are disputed and have been recorded as own goals by two different goalkeepers according to other sources: the first by Sébastien Frey in Verona-Reggina 1–1 on 9 January 2000 (1999–2000 Serie A),[41][42] and the second by Marco Silvestri in Juventus-Cagliari 3–0 on 16 May 2014 (2013–14 Serie A).[43][44][45] According to the official regulations by Lega Serie A, a goal is considered to be an own goal when "a player deflects a shot, cross, or pass from an opponent, which was not directed on target, into their own goal."[46] See also it:Statistiche della Serie A#Calci piazzati.
