Fiorentina – Roma 1-2

Roma did not play very well, but they managed with cynicism to bring home the lampredotto. There were no great emotions in the first half and Fiorentina were more dangerous with Vlahovic. Pau Lopez did well on the occasion.

We took the lead at the beginning of the second half thanks to Mancini's throw, the insertion (to be repeated) and the quick flying turn of Spinazzola (0-1). In the second half we play better than the first, keeping possession and territory. Then on a counterattack, Veretout's medical injury and Spinazzola's sports injury followed, generating the 1-1 own goal.

We continue to attack and, after another good shot by Vlahovic neutralized by the good Pau, Diawara's goal arrives at the 88th, decreed by the VAR. On this occasion Calvarese was good at changing his decision (he had previously seen an offside) and Var Aureliano was good at signaling the error. 1-2.

The positive notes. The best were Pau Lopez, Pellegrini, Diawara, Mancini and Spinazzola. Ball possession at the end of the game was also very important. Smalling's recovery is also fundamental. The downside is Veretout's injury, which we hope he will recover soon because we need him. We didn't play our best game, but we were cynical enough. The next opponent is the Genoa of our old friend Strootman. We are in full battle for the Champions League and we need to know how to run on the pitch and in the standings. Daje Roma!
