Bari Vs. Roma: Simone Bentivoglio Penalty Puts Home Side Ahead

From the way this match is going, you'd think it was Bari challenging for a European position, rather than simply playing for pride now that they've been relegated. AS Roma have allowed Bari to pressure again and again in the first 25 minutes, but both Juan and John Arne Riise had been strong in the back, making sure goalkeeper Doni had no need to exert himself. But then, under further pressure from Bari, Juan elected to use his hand to stop a ball inside the box. Whoopsies, Juan, says the referee's whistle as he points to the spot.

Simone Bentivoglio stepped up to take the penalty, ignoring my entreaties to please, please employ a personal eyebrow waxer. But when you’re able to put your side ahead with a low shot down the middle that sends Doni flying the wrong direction, well, I suppose it’s ok to have ungroomed eyebrows. Still, he should consider indulging in a few salon services.
