Roma and Juventus provided an exciting match that could have gone either way. In the end the 1-1 did not satisfy anyone, especially the ‘giallorossi’ because the fifth place in the Champions League is complicated for them.
Atalanta (6th), who have another match pending, will catch them if they win tomorrow when they visit relegated Salernitana. Juventus, third, added a fourth straight draw but maintains a six-point margin over Roma with three days left in Serie A.
Chiesa started his big game
The beginning of the game is very dynamic, with arrivals in both areas and a Federico Chiesa who starred in one of his best games of the season.
The Juventus winger poured in two of his characteristic inside shots in the early moments that narrowly missed the target. In the first he completed his diagonal from the left with a shot very close to the post and in the second he gave a golden ball to Dusan Vlahovic, that shot missed by a millimeter.
Lukaku opened the scoring
Roma responded with a well-placed header. Rasmus Kristensen which deflected off the crossbar before opening the scoring. Paulo Dybala connected to are with Bryan Cristantethat the shot is low Federico Gatti but he left the ball dead so that’s it Romelu Lukaku I just had to push it into the net (15′).
The Belgian has been a reference for the ‘Rossonero’ team, constantly clearing the deliveries of his teammates and the goal is the reward for his great performance.
Chiesa assisted and Bremer connected
But Juve reacted brilliantly at 1-0, playing with fluidity and tied, of course, with an action that came from the boot of Chiesa, who cut in from the right and put in a cross that Gleison Bremer He finished off a nasty header with a great jump (31′).
It was a first half with lots of rhythm and alternatives that continued after the break. Daniele De Rossi leaves Dybala in the dugout, perhaps thinking about Thursday’s Europa League semi-final (second leg) after losing the first leg against Bayer Leverkusen this week (0-2), and Roma accused him of struggling to create chances.
Chiesa, in the post
Juventus, more ambitious than usual, began to dominate the match and Chiesa, stellar all night, advanced on a counterattack after leaving Kristensen and unleashed a shot that deflected off the post.
Roma suffered but fought back and, in another script twist, held Juve for pride despite that fact De Rossi relieved Lukaku. Lorenzo Pellegrini missed the goal when his shot from point-blank range eluded the Turin defense and, two minutes later, it was Danilo who tirelessly took out with his head a shot from Kristensen that went in.
Svilar and Szczesny, providential in the end
The match was exciting as both teams did not give up on the win and kept going till the end. Juve, now without Chiesa or Vlahovic, Mile Svilar was forced to make two saves with shots by Manuel Locatelli and Moise Kean.
But Wojciech Szczesny also saved Juve by diving at Tammy Abraham’s feet in added time. At the end distribution of points in a good game.
