Furious Fonseca Ejected After Heated Clash with Referee Against Roma

In a tense encounter between AC Milan and AS Roma, head coach Paulo Fonseca was ejected just before halftime. The incident occurred when Milan's Tijjani Reijnders was brought down in the penalty area by Nicolò Pisilli, but referee Michele Fabbri waved play on, denying the penalty appeal.

Fonseca's vehement protests led to a yellow card, but his continued dissent resulted in a second yellow and subsequent red card. Replays suggested that Fonseca directed offensive language towards the referee, which could lead to further disciplinary action.

This ejection comes at a critical time for Fonseca, as Italian media reports indicate that his position is under scrutiny, with this match against his former club, Roma, potentially determining his future at Milan.
