McTominay had the ball in the back of the net 11 minutes in for Napoli. Alessandro Circati's clearance struck the post, and McTominay turned in the rebound on his second attempt, but it was ruled out for a VAR review for an offside against Paquale Mazzocchi in the build-up. Alessandro Buongiorno then thumped a header straight at Filippo Rinaldo from the edge of the six-yard box, while the goalkeeper also got down smartly to keep out Rasmus Hojlund.
Roma's manager has no connection to any of this, yet one Argentinian broadcaster included an old photo of him in their coverage. The segment for Telefe Noticias showed Gasperini's face between those of the accused and the deceased. A silly meme, circulated by football fans on social media to imply some (dubious) resemblance, confused as being authentic. The online version of the video was quickly taken down from YouTube, but not before it created a fresh set of headlines back in Italy.
