As a result of their match against Lecce, Roma was unable to achieve their goal of finishing in the top four of Serie A.
Despite the fact that both teams had potential to win the game, with Lecce having the most favourable opportunities, the game ended up being a shared points following an exciting clash.
When Lecce was in the latter parts of the first half, Roberto Piccoli had an effort from the edge of the box that Mile Svilar saved, and then moments later, Piccoli wriggled past Evan Ndicka before putting a shot over the bar from a close angle. Both of these shots were taken by Lecce.
When Angelino was teeing up Bryan Cristante from a free kick just beyond the box, Roma came close to scoring an opening goal on the verge of halftime. However, the defender’s low drive was blocked by the foot of the post.
When Lecce broke forward and Piccoli set up the 19-year-old Patrick Dorgu, who was free in the box, he had the finest opportunity of the game, but he rolled his shot wide of the post. This was the best opportunity of the game.
Immediately after that, Roma moved straight down the opposite end of the field, and Rick Karsdorp sent Romelu Lukaku a cross that was enticing, but his header went just short of the goal.
When Nicola Sansone brought down a long corner with his chest at the back post and then fired over the bar in the dying minutes of the match, the home team had the opportunity to steal all three points.
Remi Oudin came close to scoring a late winner for Lecce in the extra time, but his shot from thirty yards out came dangerously near to hitting the crossbar.
Following this outcome, Daniele De Rossi’s Roma is currently in fifth place, behind Bologna, who are currently in fourth place.
