dovbyk-knocks-out-como,-roma-can’t-stop-now:-2-1

A difficult and comeback victory, which confirms the great growth of the team.

Roma still victorious, for the fourth time in a row in the league, and again with its sights on Europe. These were the consequences of the difficult and crucial 2-1 collected at the Stadio Olimpico over a tough and combative Como, who had long frightened Claudio Ranieri’s team before capitulating after conceding the decisive goal by Artem Dovbyk.

Ranieri’s will to win had already emerged from his starting lineup, with Dybala, Shomurodov, Pellegrini and Soulé all playing simultaneously from the first minute. Como però certainly did not come to Rome with the intention of being dominated, so much so that the first chance of the match bore the signature of Da Cunha (inaccurate his header). Dangerous Ndicka and Dybala for the Giallorossi, then the goal with which the first half ended: it was Da Cunha himself who signed it on 44′ taking advantage of a central corridor found by Perrone and a somewhat too soft closure by Mancini.

At the beginning of the second half immediately El Shaarawy and Dovbyk were on the field for Pellegrini and Shomurodov, but Como even came close to doubling the score: slightly late Strefezza searched for Diao. Then Roma raged about a contact in the box between El Shaarawy and Smolcic, and Svilar had to commit Cutrone. It could look like a haunted day for Roma, which instead at 61′ found the equalizer thanks to Saelemaekers, just sent on by Ranieri and good at finding the goal at the end of a splendid action and also taking advantage of a deflection by Goldaniga.

Como, after having long dreamed of the feat, gradually saw everything fade away: as early as 64′ it found itself in ten for the second caution to Kempf, saw the goal of the new lead cancelled for an offside by Cutrone (it had been Diao who had sent the ball into the net in tap-in) and at 76′ capitulated. Courtesy of Dovbyk, who made the final touch on Rensch’s service previously triggered by Cristante. Ikoné comes close to equalizing, even closer goes Vojvoda who hits the post, then Svilar saves on the usual Cutrone. And Roma canò celebrate again.

Lyon, sting on Paulo Fonseca

Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca è was suspended from his technical role until next November 30 by the disciplinary commission of the French League for threatening the referee in a ‘head-to-head’ during the Ligue 1 match between his team and Brest (2-1) after being sent off.

In addition to that, until Sept. 15 he will not have access to his locker room. The suspension does not è apply for now in European competitions and the Portuguese will sit on the bench in the Europa League match tomorrow against Steaua Bucharest.

Truly a terrible season for the Portuguese coach, who had been signed by AC Milan last summer but è was put through the door on December 30 before landing a month later in Ligue 1 at Lyon. From 2019 to 2021 he had instead coached Roma, picking up a fifth and a seventh place finish.

Feyenoord-Inter, Simone Inzaghi puts his hands up, Robin Van Persie doesn’t give up

These are the words of Inter coach Simone Inzaghi, interviewed by Amazon Prime Video after the 2-0 win against Feyenoord.

“We are judged every two and a half days and that is fine. We are not qualified, we are missing the second half of this game. But tonight è it was really a very good match”.

” We knew we would have to suffer but then we did not suffer so much. I am very satisfied with the boys,” he continued, “The team follows me, there’è great willingness’”.

“Bastoni played an excellent game, he è made himself available to the team, he è alternated with Acerbi. È a very strong, world-class defender but he è made himself available and played the fifth without any problems”.

Instead, here are the words to Sky Sport of Feyenoord coach Robin Van Persie: “The players gave everything on the pitch and thanks to a good save on a penalty that for me was not there, we are still in the game. And we think we can make it next week in Milan”.

” We will have to run more, but in the second half we really tried: è it was difficult to keep up the pace of the pressure. Inter players have great quality with the ball, we are still in the game fortunately: today we wanted to achieve more, but we are still in the game”.
