04 November 2021 Rome does not forget the humiliation against Bodo Glimt and saves what can be saved in the internal match of Group C of the Conference League. In front of 41,000 spectators at the Olimpico, the Norwegian team is close to another historic victory but in the end they have to settle for a 2-2 that allows them to maintain the top of the group. Mourinho changes seven elevenths compared to the defeat of two weeks earlier (1-6) but the Giallorossi do not mesh. Halfway through the first half El Shaarawy tries twice within seconds, but the former Milan is blocked in both cases. Roma tries with throws behind the defenders of Bodo Glimt, Zaniolo loses the moment for the conclusion or to serve Abraham and makes another potential great opportunity vanish. And so the guests gain confidence and strike,surprisingly, in recovery. Hagen serves Solbakken from the outside on the edge of the area, the number 9 lets go of a first intention conclusion that leaves no way out for Rui Patricio and makes the Olimpico interval even more tormented.
In the second half in Carles Perez and Darboe for Mkhitaryan and Darboe, but Mourinho's men are also unlucky in the episodes: Moe hits with his arm in the area, the referee Papapetrou however continues. The breath of fresh air, however, comes after a few minutes: in the 54th minute, El Shaarawy points Sampsted and finds the furthest post with a shot for 1-1. Yet, it is not enough to wake up the Capitoline. Mourinho's team decelerates and Bodo rekindles in the 65th minute: the second shot in the mirror corresponds to the doubling and has the signature of Botheim, with a header on Sampsted's cross. The nightmare night for Roma continues with another touch of the hand in the Norwegian area not sanctioned and with the wood hit by a few steps from Mancini but at 84 'the new draw arrives. Borja Mayoral, just entered,Ibanez fishing forgotten on the far post and the goal line technology certifies the 2-2. The final forcing, more with pride than with ideas, does not yield the 3-2: Roma rises to 7 points, one more than the Zorya expected at the Olimpico on the penultimate day.
