ROME (ITALPRESS) – Como to Como. Roma overcame the Lombardy obstacle, the last team they lost to in the league, and reached 11 consecutive useful results, including eight victories. At the Stadio Olimpico, the Giallorossi won 2-1 in a comeback, thanks to a Dybala in scintillating form and Claudio Ranieri’s decisive changes on the night he received February’s best coach award. After the guests’ lead came at the end of the first half, through Da Cunha, the goals of Saelemaekers and Dovbyk came in the second half. In addition, Como was left with 10 men at 63′ due to the expulsion of Kempf.The coach of the Giallorossi relaunched Celik and Pellegrini from 1′, while on the right there was the novelty Soulè. Fabregas, absent due to disqualification and replaced on the bench by Guindos, confirms the same eleven that beat Napoli. Ready to go and Roma makes itself dangerous with Pellegrini, closed down by Butez. Como responds at 10′ with Kempf who header anticipates Svilar but sends in the bottom. The match is tight and tactical, with good rhythms but very few chances from both teams. The result is unlocked at 44′: Da Cunha and Perrone find a long vertical triangulation, with the Lombardi captain cutting in front of Mancini and beating Svilar on the way out.The second half opens with Diao’s descent, whose cross cross crosses the entire area without finding any teammates ready for the deflection. The game changed with the entry of Saelemaekers, who in 61′ equalized on an assist from Celik thanks in part to Goldaniga’s deflection that mocked Butez. Two minutes later Como remained in ten due to the expulsion of Kempf (double yellow). With a quarter of an hour to go, Rensch takes the place of Celik (out due to injury) and, at the first ball touched, serves an excellent flying assist for Dovbyk, who entered for Shomurodov: the striker only has to push the ball into the net. The match seemed to be heading towards a management end for Roma, which instead pulled the plug too soon and suffered the charge of Como, which came very close to equalizing with the post hit by Vojovda in the 88th minute. On the change of front El Shaarawy came close to making it 3-1. Roma celebrates and approaches their Europa League engagement against Athletic Bilbao in the best possible way.- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
