Roma’s Edoardo Bove was hit by a beer bottle thrown by the crowd as his side lost to arch-rivals Lazio in a heated Coppa Italia quarter-final that ended with three red cards.
The 22-year-old was hit on the back and went down as he was being substituted before throwing the bottle away.
Mattia Zaccagni scored the only goal.
Lazio’s Pedro and Roma’s Sardar Azmoun were dismissed in injury time, with Gianluca Mancini, also of Roma, sent off after the final whistle.
Zaccagni’s winner was from a penalty awarded by the video assistant referee for a foul by Dean Huijsen on Valentin Castellanos.
Lazio will play Juventus or Frosinone in the semi-finals.
