Rome-Lazio, brawl between the benches unleashed by Radu and Rui Patricio: what happened

ROME – Maxi brawl at the Olimpico, to give flavor to the final of a derby resolved after just half an hour. It happens close to the 90 ‘: the ball slips into a lateral foul and Rui Patriciogoalkeeper of the Rome, to speed up the times he runs to beat him in the throw-in. The Lazio Radu, however, he gets up from the bench and takes the ball, hiding it from the Portuguese. Who, on the momentum, pushes him, to recover the ball and put it back into play. At that point, the fray ignites.

From the bench of the Lazio they all start, the Roma players on the field run towards their teammate. At that point, the pressures multiplied, even managers and technicians approached to calm – or perhaps incite – spirits. L’referee Orsatoimpeccable until then, it takes a few seconds to restore a bit of tranquility to the two factions that don’t want to break away. Smalling very active to try to keep Ri Patricio away from Radu. Lazzari ditto with his. In the end, a double card: yellow for both the goalkeeper and the Romanian defender on the bench. Result? Eight minutes of recovery. That infuriate Lazio even more.
