25 November 2021 Roma put the qualification on ice by clearly beating Zorya at the Olimpico 4-0 in pouring rain. The Giallorossi start well, inspired by an excellent Zaniolo who in the 3 'puts a ball to kiss from the right for Abraham who, from an excellent position, hits badly and sends out. Three minutes later the Ukrainians try with a long-range shot by Cvek on which Rui Patricio is forced to deflect for a corner. At fifteen minutes, Mourinho's men pass. Zaniolo starts the counterattack by launching El Shaarawy on the run, who serves Carles Perez in the area thanks to a delightful right winger, with the Spaniard who stabs Matsapura with first intention.



At 28 'Zaniolo tries to get on his own with a long-range left-hander who is rejected for a corner by the goalkeeper. The 22-year-old is in the evening of grace and in the 33rd minute finds personal glory when Veretout goes away centrally in the restart and serves in the area his teammate who beats Matsapura with a right foot for the 2-0, signing the first goal of his season. The hosts play on velvet and in the 40th minute they get a penalty for a knockdown in the area by Carles Perez. Veretout shows up from the spot but is hypnotized by Matsapura, able to deflect for a corner. The first fraction thus ends at 2-0.



The Capitoline players start strong also in the second half and after 30 seconds Zaniolo bullies away from Buletsa, enters the area, waits for the goalkeeper to exit and then moves to the center for Abraham who


empty door rests at the bottom of the bag for the 3-0.

At 7 'the English eats the possible poker by failing an easy chance in front of goal.

At half an hour, a shot by Mkhitaryan is rejected and the


ball rises to the bell tower with Abraham coordinating perfectly and signing the final 4-0 in grand style.

In the final, the debut of Missori, born in 2004 and captain of the under 18 national team, should be noted.



By virtue of this success, Roma thus rises to 10 keeping the second place behind Bodo Glimt.

On December 9, Mancini and his team mates will close the away group against bottom side CSKA Sofia, with the hope of grabbing the first place which would mean direct knockout rounds without going through the round of 32.
