Overview
- The flashpoint came late in Cagliari’s 1-0 win over Roma after the referee let play continue following contact between Palestra and Ghilardi.
- Michael Folorunsho hurled explicit, violent insults about Mario Hermoso’s mother and made an obscene gesture, and both players were shown yellow cards.
- Hermoso went face to face with Folorunsho and later took the ball to continue play while Folorunsho was being treated for cramps, escalating tensions further.
- Post-match, Folorunsho blocked comments on his social media and apologized, saying adrenaline took over and asking forgiveness from anyone offended.
- As of the latest reporting, there have been no confirmed disciplinary actions announced by the clubs or Serie A.
