In yesterday's Rome derby, both on and off the field, there was a significant amount of aggression. It could be said that the off-field incidents overshadowed what happened on the football pitch.

The scorer of the sole goal, Roma defender Gianluca Mancini, could face disqualification for waving the "Anti-Lazio" flag after the 1-0 victory.

After the match, Mancini approached the Roma fans and took a flag with the inscription "Anti-Lazio" from them. He then proceeded to wave it in front of the opposing fans as a celebration of the victory.

The disciplinary committee of Italy has already received video footage of this incident and will now analyze his behavior in accordance with Article 4 of the Sporting Justice Code, which emphasizes the importance of adhering to the principles of sporting fairness, loyalty, and propriety.

In the current season, Mancini has played 39 matches, scored 5 goals, and provided 1 assist.
