Roma-Lazio, mega brawl and fiery final: two expulsions and a yellow card. What happened

Hot match, very tense final, fiery recovery. Roma-Lazio ended with a 2-0 and above all with an escalation and a huge brawl near the Giallorossi bench. Two expulsions (red directed at Castellanos and a member of Ranieri’s staff) and a yellow towards Ndicka.

what happened in recovery

It’s the 93rd minute, from the area near the Roma bench another ball arrives on the pitch which is quickly thrown away and a little further on, almost on the halfway line, yet another clash takes place: Hummels clashes with Castellanos and they fall both. The moment they get up, here’s the reaction of the Roma defender who, hard-nosed, goes toe-to-toe with the Argentine. The latter replies and the opponent falls to the ground with his hands on his face as if he had received a blow.

ranieri-baroni, fair play wins in the end

—

Everyone rushes in, the benches splash onto the scene of the crime, the referee and his collaborators try to restore order but it is practically impossible. Ranieri undertakes to act as a peacemaker, tries to push his team away but the human tide in those moments is indomitable. Pairetto then sees a push from Ndicka against Castellanos (photo below) and in the end he (Hummels was pardoned instead) was the only Roma player sanctioned at the end of this mega brawl which ended derby number 184 in which the referee drew 10 cards. But beyond these episodes there is also fair play and two gestures that closed Rome’s most heartfelt match in the best possible way. Baroni and Ranieri approached each other at the end of the race for the usual greeting; the first complimented the opponent, the Roma coach apologized for the final episodes. “I’m sorry for what happened at the end – he then told Dazn -. The match went away peacefully and we shouldn’t have done this thing here”.
