Watch how Felix Afena-Gyan’s red card got Jose Mourinho screaming from the touchline

Felix Afena-Gyan got his first red card

Jose Mourinho was not happy

Jose Mourinho, on Monday, December 13, was angry when Roma forward, Felix Afena-Gyan, was shown a red during the game between AS Roma and Spezia Calcio.

The 18-year-old was dismissed for what was deemed an intentional handball at the edge of the box.

Felix Afena-Gyan thought he’d scored from a shot to give his side a 3-0 advantage over their opponent but it turned out the referee on the day had to show the player a second yellow card which meant his side needed to continue the game with a man down.

‘Unhappy’ Mourinho, after seeing his ‘darling boy’ shown the exit screamed from the touchline before escorting the player down the tunnel.

In a post-match interview, Jose Mourinho did not comment on Afena-Gyan’s dismissal, however, he criticised the team’s performance despite a 2-0 win over Spezia.

“I like the result, not the game,” he told reporters. “It was not a difficult match, starting from the first half, we gave away and lost a lot of easy balls.

“We never had good ball circulation. At that moment it was not difficult to play against Spezia. After the 2-0, I also liked the effort of [Roger] Ibanez, who remained on the pitch with some difficulties.

“I had a feeling the game wasn’t over. After [Chris] Smalling came off, everything changes, because [Bryan] Cristante took his place. The team let the opponent enter the match,” he said.

AS Roma is currently in sixth place in Serie A and sits eight points out of the top four.
