We needed a reaction after the bad defeat in Bergamo against Atalanta and the reaction was not without concerns. Roma beat Cagliari and closed 2020 in third place in the standings. Fonseca’s team struggled by alternating moments of good football with blackout phases, thanks to a never-defeated Cagliari who tried to find a draw until the end. A well-played first half for the Giallorossi was the preamble to an initial recovery phase where Roma gave a goal and a sensational chance for Simeone who hit the crossbar. The reaction and the new track came with Dzeko, Mancini It seemed to have closed the dispute, but Villar’s naivety gave Cagliari another chance, causing a penalty that Juan Pedro it was transformed igniting a final match that Fonseca’s team achieved until the final triple whistle.
Training with Bruno Peres from 1 ‘for Roma that, ahead has deployed Peter with Mkhitaryan me Dzeko, still relegated to the role of defensive center back Cristante. Cagliari with a 3-5-2 and almost unprecedented Immediately orphan of Rog forced to leave at 16 ‘due to injury. Roma tried to impose their game in the presence of a good Cagliari by closing the central doors. But in the first free space found, the Giallorossi took the lead thanks to a raid with a final conclusion from Veretout. The Fonseca team managed to manage the advantage in the first half without major worries.
The problems, as mentioned, came early in the recovery. Roma accused a real blackout of 15 ‘ giving, in defense, ball after ball to the Cagliari forward. Joao Pedro took advantage of it to score the tie and subsequently Simeone hit the crossbar with his head. After the fear passed, Rome was suddenly awakened by a thrust of Karsdorp resulting in the perfect tip for Dzeko who beat Cragno with two steps. A few minutes later Giallorossi’s third goal also came packed by Smalling and scored by Mancini. Closed game? No way. Cagliari kept attacking, Joao Pedro was knocked down by Villar in the area and the Sardo striker himself made the 3-2 penalty that ignited a final that, however, Roma managed to manage until the triple whistle. Giallorossi third in the standings, Cagliari remains at 14.
