03 October 2019A peer that leaves a bit of bitterness in the mouth for Roma, but which confirms the leadership in the standings in the Girone J. In Graz the Wolfsberger shows an important 1-1 for the Austrians who give fuel to the dream matured 15 days ago after the enterprise in Germany. Two 4-point teams, Capitoline and Styrian, two a 1, Basaksehir and Moenchengladbach who also drew 1-1 in Turkey.A lot of turnover among the Giallorossi for the announced rests of Kolarov (he will enter the final) and Dzeko, besides the injuries of Pellegrini and Mkhitaryan. Play Spinazzola, Kalinic, Diawara and Pastore. In the door Mirante, Santon replaces Florenzi on the right. The Austrians put all their will and pressure on it, but they don't prove dangerous. Fonseca is not in a hurry, the rhythm of his is laid on waiting for the winning cue. Which arrives in a daring manner in the 27th minute: Pastore's corner, a sensational carambola headed by Spinazzola and Ritzmaier, with the outside Giallorossi finally making fun of the goalkeeper and two men on the line. With the advantage gained, Rome puts the game to sleep without suffering.
At the start of the second half Zaniolo has a double-strike, but Kofler rejects the conclusion from the limit. The Wolfsberger suddenly wakes up and Mirante must engage in Weissman's shot. A minute passes (51 ') and a defective disengagement of the Capitoline launches Liendl who guesses a left-handed man in the' seven 'from over 20 meters. A great goal that charges the hosts. Rome now struggles more to get the ball moving, but when it manages to sink it is dangerous: Kluivert causes a good ball to filter into the area, Pastore is not happy with the turn (non elementary shot); Zaniolo misses his turn after a prolonged action in the Austrian area; then it is Kofler who rejects the blow from outside Massa's talent. In the final the Austrians drop significantly. Last excitement at 4 minutes of recovery, when Kofler lets Antonucci cross and Rnic sweeps into trouble avoiding the worst.
