Roma returns from the trip to the Ontorto with a 1-1 draw in his pocket that bodes hope for the return of the Olimpico of next week. Against the port, in fact, the Capitolini play an excellent test from the point of view of the game and attention, also resisting for over twenty minutes in numerical inferiority. Claudio Ranieri, compared to the match against Venice, confirms the defense trio with Celik, Mancini and N’icka, while on the trocar there is a pilgrims after three consecutive benches; At his side Dybala, the only Dovbyk tip.
Good departure for the Giallorossi, who show themselves with the attempts of Dovbyk and Pellegrini, without luck, while the port responds with a shaded opportunity for an incorrect passage of Samu for Mora. At 20 ‘Fanlo di Varela on Dybala, who suffers a serious blow to the knee: an episode that conditions the Argentine game, forced to surrender at 39’ leaving the place to Baldanzi.
In the middle, an opportunity for the Capitoline after a triangulation between Angelino and Pellegrini, with the latter who goes to the shot without worrying Costa. When everyone seemed ready to return to the changing rooms, the Giallorossi takes the lead with Celik: Baldanzi recovers the ball and serves Salemaekers, who is looking for Dovbyk; Cross intercepted, and the Turkish defender is the smallest to wing on the wandering ball.
The second half begins with Pisilli and El Shaarawy on the pitch instead of Konè and Saelemaekers, both warned. The Capitoline attack well the half of the opposing field, moving the ball and filling the penalty area well. Costa is attentive to the attempts of Pisilli and Cristante. After a corner kick ended with an Angelino shot on the bottom, the Portuguese goalkeeper quickly postpones the ball with a very long launch to find pepper.
The exterior is closed by the return of the defense of Rome, but Moura’s shot finds Baldanzi’s detour that Buffa Swarm: it is 1-1 at 67 ‘. The game is further complicated five minutes later, when Cristante receives the second warning for a naive deduction on Vieira. At this point, the inertia of the game inevitably changes. The port takes courage and closes Rome in its trocar. The Giallorossi, however, work well and defend themselves effectively, risking relatively little. 1-1 ends, in a week the return to the Olimpico.
