The match

Roma started off strong with Dovbyk attempting a shot in the 2nd minute: the ball went out. In the 12th minute Zalewski’s goal was disallowed. The Roma winger starts offside, controls very well and puts the ball into the net at the far post but the goal is rightly disallowed. In the 13th minute the home team took the lead. Serious mistake in disengagement by Zalewski who passes a dangerous ball horizontally, intercepts Tengstedt who appears all alone in front of Svilar and makes no mistake to make it 1-0.

In the 25th minute, Roma were close to equalising, Zalewski from the left, the ball in the middle, Montipò blocks at the feet of Soulé who shoots with first intention: the ball goes just over the crossbar. Soulé equalized in the 28th minute. Percussive action by the guests, after a clearance the ball reaches Zalewski who puts it in the middle with first intention, the Argentine almost with his heel pushes the ball into the net. In the 34th minute the Gialloblù took the lead again: from the development of a corner from the left Magnani jumped higher than anyone, headed the ball and beat Svilar.

In the 8th minute of the second half the Giallorossi equalized again with Dovbyk. Celik sinks on the right, ball in the middle for the Ukrainian who contrasts with Magnani, the last touch goes to the former Girona player who beats Montipò: 2-2. At 17′ double substitution for Zanetti, Mosquera and Harroui come on, Tengstedt and Kastanos come out. In the 21st minute, a triple change for Juruc, with El Shaarawy, Cristante and Dybala replacing Soulé, Zalewski and Le Fée. Shortly after, Dovbyk’s match also ends, Baldanzi enters.

In the 32nd minute Livramento enters the yellow-blues, Suslov exits, while Juric runs out of substitutions by bringing on Paredes for Koné. In the 36th minute Dybala comes close to overtaking with a free kick that goes close to the top corner. In the 39th minute El Shaarawy was close to scoring the third goal: his shot was blocked on the goal line. In the 42nd minute Verona also finishes the substitutions. Dani Silva and Faraoni enter, Daniliuc and Serdar exit. A minute later the home team scored the match goal. Verona goes into space with Livramento, the ball goes to Harroui who controls it in the area and beats Svilar again. Gialloblù closed with ten men due to Livramento’s expulsion in the fifth minute of injury time for a bad foul on El Shaarawy.

Juric: “Ndicka was elbowed at Verona’s 2-1, yet another mistake against us”

“On Verona’s second goal it seems to me there was a clear elbow, Ndicka stays on the ground for 5 minutes, it’s not a light contact” complains Roma coach Ivan Juric, on Dazn’s microphone. “It’s yet another episode against Roma, we played a great game, giving away the goals. You pay for some mistakes, but this is a foul.” “I’m sorry because the boys put intensity into it – continues the Croatian coach -. We lost a game due to a counterattack but we did some good things, I saw interesting ideas. Now we need to maintain clarity: some serious mistakes were made, but we did several things well, let’s hope these errors pass.”
