Roma's Lukaku sees red as Nine-man side draws 1-1 against Fiorentina in Serie A

Posted : 11 December 2023

In a Serie A clash between Roma and Fiorentina, Romelu Lukaku made an impact early on by heading in a goal from Paulo Dybala's well-delivered cross, putting Roma in the lead after just five minutes at the Stadio Olimpico. However, the joy was short-lived as Fiorentina's Lucas Martinez Quarta equalized with a header from Christian Kouame's precise cross in the middle of the second half. The scores were leveled at 1-1.

 

The match took a turn when Nicola Zalewski received his second yellow card, leading to his dismissal, and leaving Roma with 10 men. Despite being a man down, Roma battled to maintain the scoreline. However, their challenges increased as Romelu Lukaku, having scored earlier, was shown a red card in the closing minutes for a reckless tackle on Kouame, reducing Roma to nine men.
