23 February 2020Rome returns to victory at the Olimpico with a clear 4-0 win over Lecce.

Speculate the situation in which the two teams present themselves: the Giallorossi returning from three defeats in a row in the championship, the Salentinians instead come from three victories in a row. Fonseca Under team in the three behind Dzeko. In addition to Turkish, there are Pellegrini and Mkhitaryan. In defense Mancini is seen next to Smalling, with Fazio going on the bench. Liverani opts for Barak, Mancosu and Lapadula, two midfielders behind the striker. Defensive line confirmed, in the middle Majer, Petriccione and Deiola.

At 13 'the choice of Fonseca bears fruit. Mhkitaryan steals the ball from Petriccione and serves from outside the insertion of Under who beats Vigorito. Lecce at 19 'tries a restart, closed by a diagonal left of Barak, not very dangerous. Rome however perky. At 27 'Under at the edge of the area serves Dzeko, the Bosnian tries to place it first with the right inside, but his parable ends high. At 30 'Dzeko from the right, serves the Pellegrini center. Right of before the yellow and red midfielder and very little ball out (almost a penalty in motion). Lecce is not there and at 37 'Dzeko with a perfect assist from the left imbecca Mkhitaryan who left exceeds Vigorito in speed and doubles. Absences in the Salento home are felt and Roma go to the locker room deservedly ahead.

At the beginning of the second half Fonseca inserts Kluivert for Pellegrini while Liverani increases the offensive load with Shakhov for Petriccione. Fonseca in the 61st minute takes Under with Carles Perez. At 70 'three of Roma: network validated after the revision of the Var for a suspected offside position of Dzeko, who on Kolarov's tense cross from the left is not instead over the line. The Bosnian beats first by two steps a first time, Vigorito rejects with his feet and Dzeko reiterates with an empty door. Poker comes with Kolarov who in the 80 'bags with a left in the running at the suggestion of Perez. Immediately after Dzeko comes out to the applause replaced by Kalinic in the final minutes. The game has nothing more to say and Roma brings home three precious points from a Champions perspective.
