Welcome to the live report of the match between CSKA Sofia and Roma, valid for the sixth round of Group A of the Europa League.18:46
The group stage of the 2020/2021 Europa League in Roma is closed and, on the Sofia stage against CSKA, they are preparing to play a kind of friendly, since Fonseca’s men are already classified and secure in first place .18:47
CSKA Sofia lines up with the following formation (3-4-1-2): Busatto – Antov, Mattheij, Zanev – Yomov, Youga, Geferson, Mazikou – Tiago Rodrigues – Sowe, Sankharè. Available: Evtimov, Henrique, Carey, Beltrame, Vion, Penaranda, Turitsov, Ahmedov, Galabov. Akrapovic herds.18:48
Roma line up with the following formation (3-4-2-1): Boer – Kumbulla, Fazio, J.Jesus – Bruno Peres, Diawara, Milanese, Bamba – Pérez, Pedro – Borja Mayoral. Available: Pau Lopez, Berti, Karsdorp, Smalling, Villar, Bove, Ciervo, Tripi. Everyone. Fonseca.18:49
Paulo Fonseca announced yesterday the Milanese debut from the first minute, but he also threw Boer and Bamba on the left on the goal. Calafiori out for a gastroenteritis. In defense, Fazio returns on his return after Covid, along with Kumbulla and Jesús. In midfield, the aforementioned Milanese and Diawara lead the game, with Bruno Peres and Bamba on either side. Forward Pérez with Pedro, who will be disqualified next Sunday in the League, and Borja Mayoral.18:51
After the arrival of Akrapovic to the bench and Pardew as technical director, CSKA Sofia does not want to close the group as the only team that has participated in the Europa League without scoring. The Bulgarians rely on the Sankharé-Sowe duo in attack, with Tiago Rodrigues supporting behind the forwards at 3-4-1-2.18:53
The match begins! First ball played by Roma.19:57
OBJECTIVE! CSKA SOFIA-Roma 1-0! Tiago Rodrigues network. Ball lost in defense by Bruno Peres, who favors the restart of the local team on the left. Center through the center of Mazikou, badly touched by Sankharé and expelled from the defense of Roma. At the edge of the area comes Tiago Rodrigues with the right of first intention for the advantage of CSKA. First Bulgarian goal of this Europa League.19:19
In the first maneuver, Akrapovic’s team took the lead. He distracted Roma’s defense on the occasion, punished by the inclusion at the edge of the area of Tiago Rodrigues. Race unlocked immediately within the first few minutes of play.19:04
Roma tries, injured by the cold suffered by the network, with the conclusion of Pedro. The former Barça player, however, is blocked by CSKA’s excellent defensive action.19:06
Roma are struggling to defend on the left wing, where Yomov is putting on a high-level performance. Another corner kick won by the Bulgarian team. In constant difficulty Bamba in his European debut.19:09
Giallorossi players who are very wrong in their support, Fonseca’s team does not seem to focus and certainly pays for Fonseca’s many changes. Sofia night that goes uphill for Rome.19:09
Long pass to look for Sowe in the counterattack, Boer’s providential departure from the poles. Good intervention by goalkeeper Giallorossi born in 2002.19:11
A good starting point for the Milanese who, in personality, overtakes two men and finds the corridor for Pedro. Giallorossi’s winger is stopped at a corner kick.19:14
Pedro wins a good free kick from the trocar, but Bruno Peres’ serve is too short. CSKA defender who responds easily and suffers from the lack of Jesus: a missed opportunity for Roma.19:17
OBJECTIVE! CKSA Sofia-ROME 1-1! Milanese network. Borja Mayoral widens on the right wing for the hasty Bruno Peres, center in the center of the Brazilian side who meets the former Real Madrid striker. Touch of the Asturian to free the Milanese who, at the beginning as a starter, scored with a precise right hand from the penalty area. Giallorossi team immediate draw.
Look at the player card Tommaso Milanese19:20
The situation in the Sofia field was reversed after the Roma draw. Giallorossi’s team, after being surprised by CSKA’s departure, has taken the measures and has the match against Akrapovic’s boys in their hands.19:22
WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY! Great opportunity granted by Roma to the Bulgarian counterattack. Tiago Rodrigues, thrown by Sowe, arrives ahead of Boer but with the right plane he misses the goal by very little. CSKA is very close to the 2-1 network.19:26
After the excitement of a few moments ago, the formation of Fonseca tries to control the rhythm of the game. In the middle of the field, however, Diawara struggles to make the ball spin quickly: CSKA’s defense remains orderly behind the ball line.19:29
OBJECTIVE! CSKA SOFIA-Roma 2-1! Red Sowe. Bad play in the middle of the field by Diawara who receives the ball flown by Geferson. Precise assistance for the insertion of Sowe who, in front of Boer, is not wrong with the right corner. New advantage of the Bulgarian team.19:32
The connection between the departments of the Giallorossi formation is missing, leaving open spaces in the central band. CSKA that, after Tiago Rodrigues’ error a few minutes ago, did not spare a second half with Sowe. The Diawara-Milanese couple in the middle of the field are in remarkable difficulty.19:34
Roma’s response comes after CSKA’s 2-1. Personal action by Diawara, who must be forgiven for the mistake in Sowe’s goal: serve for Borja Mayoral who centers and kicks with the left. Deflected conclusion on a corner kick.19:36
Excellent streamer down the left wing for Pedro who, after getting drunk with Mazikou feints, puts in the middle an inviting ball that was providentially rejected by the CSKA defense. Second chance for Roma in a minute.19:37
Carles Pérez makes an excellent corner kick: Juan Jesús intervenes on the march inside the area. The Brazilian defender, however, is most beautifully stopped by the intervention of Mattheij.19:39
The first half ends in Sofia: CSKA-Roma 2-1.19:42
Rome under Sofia against CSKA. The Giallorossi team surprised immediately with the opening goal of Tiago Rodrigues, but he knew how to respond with the first goal of the young Milanese with the Giallorossi shirt. Diawara’s mistake in the construction, however, opens the way for the new Bulgarian leader with Sowe. Fun game that, despite not being valid for Group A ranking purposes, is giving different emotions.19:47
Substitution in Rome: Kumbulla leaves, Smalling enters.19:57
Excellent news for Fonseca is the return of Chris Smalling. Former United this year, due to physical problems, has only played 4 games this season: the last, on November 8 against Genoa.19:59
Start over in Sofia! Ball played by CSKA Sofia.20:00
Roma constantly suffer on the left wing. Bamba jumped from the launch towards Tiago Rodrigues who, quite far apart, put in the middle an interesting center rejected by Smalling’s header.20:00
ROME OPPORTUNITY! Plot in the Strait of the Giallorossi Formation. Carles Pérez faces Borja Mayoral, who inside the small area of Busatto’s exit, concludes with a safe shot. Miracle of the CSKA goalkeeper who takes a corner kick.20:04
Rome that, in this second half, is in constant offensive projection. Siege of the Giallorossi team in search of a tie.20:05
Articulated action of Rome that develops to the right. Diawara’s filtering touch for Bruno Peres, a precise center in the middle of the former Torino that meets Borja Mayoral: Busatto’s providential departure.20:06
OBJECTIVE! CSKA SOFIA-Roma 3-1! Red Sowe. Incredible error by Fazio in defense who, with the left back, accidentally serves Sowe: face to face with Boer, he is not wrong a second time. At the peak of Giallorossi’s formation, he still punishes CSKA by exploiting Fazio’s gift in disconnection.20:08
An attractive punishment for gypsies in the central area. Bruno Peres tries from afar, but his right ends well over the crossbar.20:10
Splendid triangle on the left flank between Geferson and Mazikou. Crossing the number 18 to cut the penalty area, which Sowe does not reach because of a mustache. Danger to the defense of Giallorossi.20:12
Roma try to react after minutes of pressure from CSKA. Borja Mayoral finds a hole in the penalty area, but once again Busatto is very good ahead of the Spanish striker.20:13
Substitution in Rome: Milanese leaves, Villar enters.20:13
Substitution in Rome: Bamba leaves, Karsdorp enters.20:15
Too late to remember, despite the negative result, for Bamba and Milanese on their Europa League debut. In their place Villar and Karsdorp enter to give Giallorossi’s team some experience.20:15
Change in CSKA Sofia: Sankharé leaves, Beltrame enters.20:15
Change in CSKA Sofia: Yomov exits, Vion enters.20:15
Two changes also for the Bulgarian team. Enter an Italian, Stefano Beltrame, a product of the Juventus youth sector. The Biella attacker also played with Spinazzola, now a Giallorossi, in the Juventus jersey. Yomov was also released, instead the incumbent of the right wing Vion.20:17
Diawara tries with a balloon to surprise the CSKA defense. The Giallorossi midfielder tries to reward Karsdorp’s inclusion, but Mattheij chimes in with his head to unravel the problem.20:20
Borja Mayoral deep movement inside the penalty area. Lovely Diawara ball for him, but the Spanish striker is in an offside position.20:22
Karsdorp’s decisive advance down the right wing. Free to cross, he finds Carles Pérez, but the jewel of Giallorossi does not control well and vanishes a potential scoring opportunity for Roma.20:23
Change of Ali Sowe Ahmed Yalmazov Ahmedov20:25
Replacement Amos Youga Plamen Galabov20:25
