Share

21 February 2021 Rome does not pass to Benevento despite the numerical superiority for over half an hour.

Few opportunities for the guests (really dangerous only during the recovery), who return to 3rd place alone with 44 points but lose a golden opportunity to create a margin.

The Samnites continue their highly respected championship: 25 points, a margin of ten points from the third to last.

Two attacking midfielders and a single point on both fronts.

Inzaghi with Viola and Caprari behind Lapadula.

Fonseca chooses Borja Mayoral (Dzeko on the bench) supported by Pellegrini and Mkhitaryan, an unprecedented defense with Fazio's debut in this championship.

Fast race, even if the real opportunities are missing.

Territorial prevalence of guests, Benevento finds some space on the counterattack.

Montipò is attentive on Pellegrini's powerful right.

in the other area, Lapadula ends on Pau Lopez instead of serving better placed teammates and, subsequently, a pinball machine on corner action leads to Barba's shot blocked by the visiting goalkeeper.

Pellegrini's pocket for Mkhitaryan, Montipò comes out in an avalanche to close the conclusion of the Armenian.

Roma begins the recovery at an excellent pace.

At 57 'enormous nonsense by Glik who, already warned, remedies the second yellow for a reckless intervention on Mkhitaryan.

Fonseca wastes no time, immediately on the field Dzeko (for Veretout).

Inzaghi restores the defense with Caldirola (Viola comes out).

Benevento does not allow itself to be besieged and does not give up on restart.

It's up to Roberto Insigne to take over a Caprari who has given everything.

Fonseca reinforces the attack with Pedro for Karsdorp.

But Rome fails to break through.

Therefore also El Shaarawy (outside Mkhitaryan) for the last 10 '.

The first real conclusion towards the Samnite goal comes in the 91st minute, a header by Dzeko that Montipò controls.

It is the first ring of a heart-pounding recovery.

At 94 'Caldirola rejects Pellegrini's touch on the line after a furious hitting and replying.

Inzaghi also expelled for repeated protests.

Coronary risk for the faint of heart in the 96th minute, on Roma's last action: El Shaarawy, served by Dzeko's heel, is knocked down by Foulon.

Pairetto decrees the penalty, but the Var revokes it due to Pellegrini's irregular position at the beginning of the maneuver.
