January 31, 2021 Rome takes back its third place with the victory over Verona, overtaken 3-1 at the Olimpico.
Dzeko out of the squad, Fonseca confirms Borja Mayoral as central striker with Mkhitaryan and Pellegrini in support.
Same form for Juric (3-4-2-1), Zaccagni and Barak are behind Kalinic.
Non-transcendental start with a tile for the Giallorossi: Smalling stops for a muscle problem (to be evaluated) Kumbulla (former Scaligero) enters already at 12 '.
Verona has a decline in attention and Roma are cynical to take advantage of the moment.
At 20 ', on a corner kick, Mancini heads up to the center of the area and puts in Silvestri who sees the ball emerge between his teammates and opponents.
Two turns of the clock and an error by the defense makes the ball flow towards Mayoral, Silvestri forces him to widen and the Spaniard unloads towards Mkhitaryan who invents a great shot at the near post with the goalkeeper in countertime.
Verona swerves again and collects the third goal in the 29th minute from a corner kick: Pellegrini tries from the edge, Silvestri rejects short on Mayoral who bags.
Mkhitaryan could do quatern, his right row high.
Juric begins the recovery with Lasagna (debut with the yellow and blue) in place of the evanescent Kalinic.
Tameze protects Silvestri's exit, Veretout comes close to mocking them both.
Opportunity also for Spinazzola, on the counterattack, Silvestri saves his foot.
Inside Bessa, Dimarco and Colley among the yellow and blue.
And the newcomers pack the goal for the guests: a cross from the wing by Bessa and Colley bags with a head positioned at the far post (62 ').
The game speeds up, but it also gets very confusing.
Silvestri opposes Veretout, Lasagna widens the aim of the diagonal.
Basically, many actions but very few real opportunities.
