Protagonist of sexist insults aimed at the Roma defender’s mother, the Cagliari player wrote on social media: “There was tension and I responded to one insult with another. I apologize to anyone who felt offended even if they say that once the match is over everything ends”
“I can only apologize, the adrenaline took over.” Insults, death wishes and a near fight. The argument between Michael Folorunsho and Mario Hermoso had consequences even after the final whistle, so much so that it led the Cagliari midfielder to apologize on Instagram. “Only after the match did I see what happened from the images – continued Folorunsho -. It was a delicate moment, there was tension and I responded to one insult with another. I apologize to anyone who felt offended even if they say that once the match is over everything ends”.

– An intervention that came after the midfielder, who declared himself a Lazio player, had had to block comments on social media given the many insulting messages from Roma fans. But what is Folorunsho referring to? In the final of Cagliari-Roma, a match won 1-0 by the Sardinians, the midfielder and Hermoso often came into contact until the key episode. It all started with a contact in the area between Palestra and Ghilardi: the referee let it continue, sparking protests from the rossoblù. In the ensuing turmoil, Hermoso and the former Napoli player come into close contact. Their teammates try to separate them, but the argument continues even after the warning given to both. Folorunsho indulges in heavy insults towards Hermoso’s mother: “You son of a b****” and “That bitch of your mother must die, that bitch”. Then he continued: “Your mother is ib****.” Sexist insults also accompanied by an unequivocal and vulgar gesture on Folorunsho’s part.

At that point the Spaniard from Roma went into a rage and went head to head with his opponent. A few minutes later Hermoso himself committed an unsportsmanlike gesture. Folorunsho falls to the ground suffering from cramps. Palestra notices this and places the ball towards the lateral foul to call for help. Hermoso, however, is nearby, takes advantage of the situation, takes the ball before it goes off the field and goes along the flank until the action fades away and the reaction of the home team is inevitable with half the bench and several players attempting to attack the Spaniard again.
