In the first half of the second leg of the tie between Rome and Milan, more things happened than in many full matches. It all started on a positive note for De Rossi’s team, who extended the lead they took in the first leg (0-1) to (3-0) on aggregate, thanks to goals from Mancini and Dybala.
Although as the minutes ticked away, Pioli’s men pushed hard and De Rossi’s men were down to three men. Dybala and Lukaku, their two stars due to muscle problems. And to Çelik, who made Leao desperate, for a straight red card after a criminal tackle on the Portuguese attacker, who could have seriously injured him.
The Rossoneri also made a substitution, bringing on Jovic for Bennacer, in search of an epic comeback. They didn’t lack chances, but the Giallorossi’s defense was inspired to save point-blank shots in the last minute that seemed like a few goals.
