Roma came out determined to restore the tie and subjected Salzburg to a continuous siege, which could only produce two dangerous arrivals in the opening minutes.
The beginning of the match was very tense, with constant friction between the players, but Roma did not lose focus and in the 8th minute they managed to open the scoring with a double shot from Dybala from a corner The first was picked up by goalkeeper Philipp Köhn and, after the rebound, the Argentine’s header was deflected off the crossbar.
Roma maintained a high-paced game, giving their actions a lot of mobility and insisting on Nicola Zalewski and Leonardo Spinazzola on the wings.
The spinazzola is overflowing and the Roma are flying
And it was two fantastic drives by Spinazzola down the left that decided the tie. In the 33rd minute, he overflowed and ended his internship with a cross into the net by Andrea Belotti, who started in place of Tammy Abraham who started on the bench after undergoing lower eyelid surgery due to a blow received in Sunday against Verona.

And, five minutes later, Spinazzola flew in at another change of pace and this time his cross was headed into Dybala’s net with a perfect left-footed volley.
After the break, Roma dropped the intense intensity they had used before and their offensive production clearly decreased but they never lost control and finished a complete game.
Rome allows nothing
The second half where there were almost no chances. Köhn deflected a whip from outside the box by Bryan Cristante (59′), while Salzburg struggled to create danger and only made one good play that Noah Okafor finished with a low shot that didn’t faze Rui Patricio (70′). Already bounced from the Champions League, the Austrians are out of Europe.
Roma managed the advantage as Mourinho wanted, they did not concede anything to their rivals and tomorrow, Friday, they will be in hype for the round of 16.
