Quake fails to pacifiy derby

ROME: Mourning for the victims of Monday's earthquake in the Italian region of Abruzzo did not stop tempers flaring in Serie A's first day since the disaster on Saturday.

Cagliari said one of their players was hit in the tunnel after their 2-1 defeat at Fiorentina, while the derby between AS Roma and Lazio was marred by incidents inside and outside the stadium.

"There was a bit of commotion in the tunnel and it seems like there was an attack," Cagliari boss Massimiliano Allegri was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency.
