Rome  - Roma's Montenegro striker Mirko Vucinic was sanctioned with a simple yellow card Tuesday for taking off his shorts as he celebrated his winning goal in his side's 3-2 win over Cagliari.

Vucinic, 25, scored the winner after a series of mistakes and raced in his underwear toward Roma's fans stronghold in the south curve of Rome's Stadio Olimpico.

His act triggered criticism from many commentators, including Sergio Campana, the president of the Italian footballers association (AIC).
