ROME (ITALPRESS) – Ivan Juric’s new Roma overwhelmed Udinese 3-0 in the match at the Stadio Olimpico worth the fifth day of Serie A and won their first league victory: Dovbyk, Dybala and Baldanzi scored. The Giallorossi fans start the announced protest following the exoneration of Daniele De Rossi, deserting the first half-hour of the match. Later from the stands come choruses and banners for the former coach, who was exonerated on Wednesday. No reference, however, to the resignation today of former ad Lina Souloukou.The challenge begins with the hosts getting off to a good start, building their first chance at goal after 8′ with Dovbyk who, on Angelino’s suggestion, lets off a left-footed shot on which Okoye makes a fine intervention. Roma presses very high and puts the HCL lineup in trouble, which struggles to get out of its own half. In the long run, the forcing of Ivan Juric’s boys bears the hoped-for fruits, as on 19′ comes the goal of the lead signed by Artem Dovbyk who, on an assist from El Shaarawy, beats Okoye with a precise left cross.The goal galvanizes the Capitolini, who continue to push in search of the double. They go to rest on the 1-0 scoreline. In the opening of the second half, Roma immediately gets a penalty kick: Paulo Dybala comes to the penalty spot, who dispatches Okoye and signs the doubling goal. Udinese tried to react relying also on the fresh forces sent on the field by Runjaic and at 66′ came close to scoring with a powerful conclusion by Thauvin, on which Svilar was ready. At 70′ the Giallorossi filed the file by dropping the hat trick with newcomer Tommaso Baldanzi coming in front of Okoye and signing his first goal in this jersey. In the final Dovbyk scores again but the mark is disallowed for offside. Debut with victory for Ivan Juric with the Giallorossi, who knocked out the Friulians with a clear 3-0 win. By virtue of this result, Roma rises to six points in the standings, while Udinese remains at ten. Next appointment at the Olimpico on Thursday night: there is the Giallorossi’s Europa League opener, against Athletic Bilbao.- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
