1st half

• 13′ – 1st shot on target of the match, Candreva tries her luck but it goes straight into the gloves of Rui Patricio
• 30′ – Cross strike from Bradaric, Rui Patricio dives and releases the ball cleared by the defense
• 42′ – Roma gets a very generous free kick near the surface for a foul on Cristante
• 43′🟨Pierrozzi
• 45′ – Pellegrini takes the free kick but it’s above.
• 48’🟨 Pellegrini for a gross foul on Sambia who no longer had the ball

Very complicated half-time for Roma who made too many technical errors, made bad choices and were too static. The statistics speak for themselves: 74% possession of the ball, 2 shots (off target) – For their part, Salernitana presses on the man and launches rapid counter-attacks which are dangerous each time. With only 26% possession, Inzaghi’s men struck 10 times, hitting the target 3 times. From Rossi who spoke a lot on the side to Mancini and Karsdorp will have to find the words and the dynamics just in the 2nd half. Certainly a change in the middle which brings too little to the attackers and makes too many errors. To be continued.

2nd half:

Start of the 2nd half with the same 22 players

• 48′ – Cristante heads a cross, the ball hits Maggiore’s arm and the referee whistles a penalty. Intervention of the WAS for a possible foul by Mancini on Maggiore at the start of the action but penalty confirmed.
• 51′ ⚽ Dybala takes care of pulling him and opens the scoring for Roma. 0-1
• 62′ 🔁🔁 SAL : Kastanos and Martegani replace Basic and Sambia
• 65′ ⚽ Bove serves Dybala who with a backheel puts the ball into Karsdorp’s race. The Dutchman crosses strong and will find Pellegrini taking the break ! 0-2
• 69′ ⚽ While Roma think they have done the hardest part, Kastanos, left free at the penalty spot, heads a cross and reduces the gap. 1-2
• 71′ 🔁 Aouar replaces Dybala
• 73′ 🔁🔁 HALL: Nwankwo and Gyomber leave, Ikwuemesi and Lovato enter
• 78′ 🔁 Zalewski Replace El Shaarawy
• 79′ 🔁 SAL: Zanoli replaces Pierozzi

• 87′ 🟨 Candreva for protest
• 88′ 🔁 Huijsen replace Pellegrini
• 89′ 🟨 Rui Patricio

The second half began with a penalty in the 48th minute for Roma converted by Dybala. Salernitana will be forced to come out and we feel that Roma are better in their match with more speed, fewer individual errors and more inspiration in the choices. A moment rewarded by the superb action concluded by Pellegrini in the 69′. If the giallorossi think they have done the hardest part with the break, winning coaching for Inzaghi with Kastanos reducing the gap 20 minutes from the end. The end of the match was open with opportunities to equalize for Salernitana, but Roma held on and was very realistic this evening in the finish with 5 shots, 2 on target, 2 goals. De Rossi has a second victory and Pellegrini has just scored a goal in two consecutive matches in Serie A. The objective was to take 9 points against Verona, Salernitana and Cagliair, see you next Monday for the outcome.
