The midfielder of Roma Kevin Strootman almost certainly will take the punishment from the Italian Football Federation, which could cause a melee in the City derby against Lazio.
Roma prevailed with 2:0 in the derby, which was marked by a mass brawl between football players. It all started with the opening goal in the match predicted by soccer-tips in the 64 minute, after which Strootman poured some water on the reserve player of Lazio, Danilo Cataldi and that led to a conflict between them both. Cataldi got Strootman for the shirt and put him on the ground and in the next minute the officials were trying to stop the fight between the players of both teams.
On this occasion, the Federation have requested videos in order to assess whether the Dutch player of Roma deserves a penalty for his involvement in the scandal. The referee Luca Banti actually showed a yellow card to Strootman, but it was not clear whether it is because of his lush joy or because of the incident with the water.
If the ticket was for the joy after the goals, the Federation has every right to punish the referee a lot more seriously, probably for two or three games.
