The situation that led to Mourinho's red card happened in the 90+4 minute. Lukaku had a situation where he dropped back to support the defense and collided with an Atlanta player. Instead of awarding AS Roma a free kick, the referee ignored the situation and let the match continue. The "Special One" reacted violently on the sidelines and was sent off the field.
This is the 7th time the Portuguese strategist has been sent off since he became coach of AS Roma, a "sad record" for this team. Coach Mourinho will be absent from the match AS Roma vs AC Milan in round 20 of Serie A (15.1). However, the sentence can be increased based on the referee's reports. Notably, this is the 2nd consecutive time Coach Mourinho has been absent from the matches AS Roma vs AC Milan.

Before that, AS Roma also did not play well against Atalanta. The maroon team played at home but let the away team dominate in the first half. In the 8th minute, goalkeeper Rui Patricio's net shook after a precise header from Teun Koopmeiners. It was thanks to Dybala's penalty goal in the 39th minute that AS Roma was able to keep 1 point at home.
After the match with Atlanta, coach Mourinho also did not participate in the press conference. At the same time, both the players and staff of AS Roma also refused when asked by DAZN for interviews. The only statement that this team made on both DAZN and Sky Sport Italia was "AS Roma does not want to comment on anything about the match".
A 1-1 draw against Atalanta cost AS Roma the chance to improve their position in the standings. Mourinho's men are currently in 8th place with 29 points, 4 points behind 4th-placed Fiorentina - who surprisingly suffered a defeat in this round against Sassuolo.

In another match, Juventus had an emotional comeback on the field of their opponent Salernitana. The "Old Lady" had just defeated Salernitana 6-1 in the Coppa Italia in the middle of the week but faced many difficulties in the rematch. Salernitana also made Juventus "sweat" when they completely changed their face and took the lead through Giulio Maggiore in the first half.
It was not until the second half, when Giulio Maggiore was sent off in the 53rd minute, that the Turin team regained control of the game. Substitute Samuel equalized in the 65th minute before Vlahovic scored in the 90+1 minute, sealing a 2-1 comeback for Juventus. The Serbian star celebrated emotionally after scoring against Salernitana. This was the 7th goal after 17 matches in Serie A in the 2023-2024 season for the striker born in 2000.

The victory over Salernitana helped Juventus gain 46 points, maintaining the 2nd position on the rankings. Coach Max Allegri's students are in extremely good form and are only 2 points behind the top team, Inter Milan.
