ROME (AP) — A 1-1 draw in the Rome derby was an appropriate result amid unusual solidarity between normally warring supporters of Lazio and Roma on Sunday following the shooting death of a high-profile fan.Both ends of the Stadio Olimpico paid tribute to Fabrizio “Diabolik” Piscitelli https://www.thetopsoccer.com/uswnt/abby-dahlkemper-jersey , the former Lazio “ultras” chief who was shot dead at point-blank range in an unsolved murder last month.Roma went ahead with a first-half penalty from Aleksandar Kolarov, and Luis Alberto equalized for Lazio after the break.Article continues below ...Despite stifling humidity, the match was highly entertaining and featured six shots off the woodwork — four by Lazio (Lucas Leiva, Ciro Immobile, Joaquín Correa and Marco Parolo) and two by Roma (both by Nicolò Zaniolo).Lazio also had a potential winner from Manuel Lazzari disallowed in the closing minutes for offside.“It was certainly a spectacular football match. The teams respected each other but also went after it,” said new Roma coach Paulo Fonseca. “We coaches always lose a few years of life during games like this McCall Zerboni Jersey , but this was an anthem for football to those who love the sport.”Roma’s penalty was due to new and stricter handball rules.Edin Dzeko appeared to see Sergej Milinkovic-Savic raise his arm and struck the extended limb to earn the spot kick converted by Kolarov, the former Lazio fullback.Luis Alberto’s goal came with a blistering shot through a crowded area.The result will likely leave both sides frustrated.Lazio, last season’s Italian Cup champion, will rue missed chances after hitting the goal frame so many times, while Roma has now drawn twice in its opening two matches under Fonseca.Lazio produced 21 shots to Roma’s eight, although Roma controlled more of the possession.“There are inevitably regrets Tierna Davidson Jersey , because we had so many chances and you have to win games like that,” Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi said. “We could have used a bit more luck. But we played great football.”Roma has undergone a complete overhaul following a turbulent offseason that included the resignation of former captain Francesco Totti from his management position and the departure of Daniele De Rossi to Boca Juniors.Police were on high alert for fan tensions following Piscitelli’s murder and the subsequent controversy over a public funeral. But there were no immediate reports of clashes or serious violence.Many Lazio fans wore shirts that said “Diablo” to honor Piscitelli’s nickname, “Diabolik.”Lazio supporters held aloft a huge banner featuring an image of Piscitelli before kickoff and Roma fans responded with smaller banners that read, “Rest in peace, Fabrizio” and “Fly high! Ciao Diablo.”The “curva nord” — northern end — where Lazio’s hard-core fans sit was silent during the first half in protest at the club’s decision not to express condolences over the death of Piscitelli, who had a long criminal record.Lazio’s players were told not to celebrate below the “curva nord” to respect the fans’ protest and Luis Alberto kept his distance despite scoring at that end. MOENCHENGLADBACH Christian Pulisic Jersey , Germany (AP) — Borussia Moenchengladbach is looking for a new coach after deciding to replace Dieter Hecking after this season.Hecking’s contract expires in June and the Bundesliga club said Tuesday it will not give him a new deal. Hecking took over in December 2016 and led the side to ninth-place finishes in 2017 and 2018.“It was one of the most difficult decisions in my managerial career,” Gladbach sporting director Max Eberl said. “It is purely strategic and has nothing to do with the present situation.”Gladbach has only one win from its last seven Bundesliga games and dropped out of the top four for the first time since September after a 3-1 loss at Fortuna Duesseldorf on Saturday.Only the top four qualify for the Champions League.Hecking was praised for the team’s performances earlier in the season when it won its first nine home games but had been coming under increasing pressure, especially after a 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich last month.“It was a massive disappointment for me yesterday,” Hecking said of being informed of the club’s decision. “But when a sporting director like Max says that it’s better to continue working with another coach, then that’s the way it is. That’s his right and of course I accept it.”Hecking said he would continue to give everything for the team to achieve its objectives this season.Gladbach next faces a visit from in-form Werder Bremen on Sunday.Hecking, who formerly coached Wolfsburg and Nuremberg https://www.thetopsoccer.com/usa/timothy-weah-jersey , is unlikely to be out of work for long. Schalke and Wolfsburg will also be looking for coaches next season.Hecking previously said he would like to return home, where Hannover is currently battling relegation with both coach Thomas Doll and general manager Horst Heldt on the verge of leaving.
