One of the decorations of the next round of the Italian championship was the match in Rome, in which the principal rivals Roma and Juventus met on the field. “Wolves” found an opportunity to realize their moment, but almost until the very end, the “old lady” could turn the course of the meeting. Turintsy knocked on all the bars and scored quite a goal, but the team was deprived of hope for a draw by the stupidest removal.

Why did Keane take the field at all?

Dybala’s wishes

On Sunday, March 5, in the match of the 25th round of Serie A, Roma hosted Juventus. José Mourinho’s team continues to fight for the Champions League. The “old lady” has had an extremely unsuccessful season so far, but the Turintians do not lose hope of improving the situation in the standings. In the game of the first round, the rivals did not reveal the winner, exchanging goals. In Rome, it was still possible to determine the strongest.

Despite the large number of high-class performers in both teams, the first half did not differ in the abundance of scoring chances. Before the break, Roma forced the goalkeeper of Juve to work hard once, the “old lady” had three hits on target. The most dangerous situation occurred near the end of the 45-minute segment, when Adrian Rabiot tried to hit the Romans from close range. Rui Patricio, in alliance with the bar, managed to get out of this difficult situation without loss.

It was extremely interesting to watch the actions of the Argentine striker Paulo Dybala in this match. The ex-player of the Turin team was distinguished by a great desire to score, but this desire did not show up on the scoreboard. The strikes of the Argentinean were blocked by field players, the goalkeeper parried, and the ball did not reach the goal under any circumstances. At the 73rd minute, Mourinho decided to send the world champion to rest, releasing Tammy Abraham to replace him.

Suffering Mancini

In the second half, the nature of the game did not fundamentally change, but things turned out to be better with the performance. In the 53rd minute, Roma defender Gianluca Mancini decided to join his team’s attack. For some reason, the Juventus players did not begin to meet the player on the far approaches to the goal, not thinking that the opponent could do a great job from outside the penalty area. And he did just that – he powerfully struck from a distance, but Wojciech Szczesny failed to bail out.

After the missed goal, Juve waited for their dangerous moment. Juan Cuadrado, preparing for a set piece, was unimpressed by the wall of two players and risked a shot. The Colombian hit the post, and only a few centimeters saved Roma. Once again, the bar helped the Wolves in the 82nd minute, when, after a corner kick, Brian Cristante almost cut the ball into his own net.

Massimiliano Allegri hoped to crush his opponent, throwing the strongest into battle. Federico Chiesa, Paul Pogba, Leandro Paredes did not manage to make a result. And the appearance on the field of Moise Kina completely buried all the hopes of the Turin team. The striker spent less than a minute on the field. During this time, he managed to try to take the transfer, grab onto Mancini’s underpants and kick his opponent in the leg. The defender, after a fraction of a second, decided to fall down and pretend to suffer, and his opponent eventually saw a red card in front of him. After this removal, Juventus failed to tune in to the final assault. The result of the meeting was the victory of “Roma” with a minimal margin.
