A new game without a win, an insufficient draw in Monza (1-1), deepened the hole in which Roma fell, falling out of the European zone of Serie A with five days left until the end of course.
Jose Mourinho’s team can enter the Champions League, stay in the continental zone or leave the top six places. Depending on other markers. The tie was not enough for the Roman team, the whole course installed in the upper zone, now surpassed by Milan and Atalanta.
Roma are a stressed team, having added just two of the last nine points at stake. Two draws were all the spoils the capital team got in their recent commitments. This time the challenge is not easy, Monza is a team on the rise, the best debutant in Serie A this century. Now, with no major qualifying concerns, he aims to reach 50 points. He only has five games left, that’s how many games he has not lost.
Survivor, however, in the Europa League, Mourinho’s team took the lead before half time. The Roman team took advantage of a big mistake by the goalkeeper.
It all started with a short goal kick from the Spaniard Pablo Mari in his goal. Tammy Abraham’s pressure was strong and Michelle di Gregorio, the goalkeeper, made a mistake. Stephan El Sharawy took the ball, dodged the goal and fired. Pablo Mari cleared the goal on the line, but the Italian international took the rebound and scored.
Roma had the game where they wanted it, but a defensive failure on the brink of the break cost Mourinho’s team dearly. A lateral free kick by Nicolo Rovella at the far post was taken advantage of by Luca Caldirola, who crossed the ball and beat Rui Patricio. It was the tie.
Rome has fallen. He seeks success in a disorderly way. The changes also didn’t help Roma’s needs against an opponent that was always comfortable. It was only from set pieces that Mourinho’s team gave the feeling of taking over the game.
He scored on the hour from a Lorenzo Pellegrini free-kick that hit the crossbar. But he did not enter.
Roma failed, who, victim of the worst goal difference, fell to seventh place in the standings, overtaken by Atalanta and Milan, who entered Europe.
