Soccer: Strootman two-match ban lifted

(ANSA) - Rome, December 9 - Italian soccer's appeals court on Friday upheld an appeal from AS Roma against a two-match ban for forward Kevin Strootman for sparking a brawl during Sunday's 2-0 derby win over Lazio.
    Strootman, who scored Roma's first goal, squirted water on Lazio sub and midfielder Danilo Cataldi who responded by pulling his jersey.
    Strootman was accused of simulating by falling to the ground and getting Cataldi sent off, setting off the scuffle.
