Marco Tumminello scored two minutes into stoppage time to give AS Roma a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in a bad-tempered International Champions Club match at Red Bull Arena on Tuesday.

Tumminello’s winner came just a minute after Spurs’ Vincent Janssen had tied the match by scoring from a scramble in front of goal. Harry Winks had brought the Premier League club back into the match with his 87th minute goal after Roma had taken a 2-0 lead through Diego Perotti and Cengiz Ünder.

Roma players celebrate against Tottenham.

Referee Hilario Grajeda handed out only two yellow cards in a match that featured several heavy tackles and some pushing and shoving from two sides who finished second in their leagues last season. Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino also came close to being sent to the stands.

Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco told reporters his side would be buoyed by the win but did not read too much into the result.

“We played a good performance but it’s still July. It’s too early to make assessments,” he said via an interpreter.

“Obviously it’s a boost of confidence for me and the lads.”
