On the Lazio-Roma LIVE field
Just before the Lazio-Roma interval, sparks flew between the two benches.

The biancoceleste nine and the Roma goalkeeper coach go face to face and the two benches start igniting a fight that ends after a few minutes. The Giallorossi also complained about a foul by Zaccagni on Mancini, but the referee, once calm was restored, sent off Nuno Santos and Ianni, a collaborator of Sarri.
