The victory for Roma was secured by Gianluca Mancini’s header on a corner kick taken by Paulo Dybala. This victory came on Daniele De Rossi’s first Derby della Capitale as coach.
The gloves of Christos Mandas were stung by Pellegrini from a distance, but Zeki Celik put too much strength behind the header that he slammed into the ground on an Angelino cross, and it bounced over from six yards out.
It was difficult for Mario Gila to intercept a cross from Stephan El Shaarawy that was six yards away, and as a result, Roma took the lead on the corner kick that resulted from the situation. Gianluca Mancini was largely unmarked when he nodded in the Dybala assist to give Roma the advantage.
It was clear that Igor Tudor was dissatisfied, as he made three substitutions during the halftime break. The ‘hosts’ almost got a second when Romelu Lukaku went on the counter and unleashed a magnificent pass for El Shaarawy, who pounded the post from a tight angle. However, it did not have much of an instant impact.
Lukaku came close to getting on the end of Bryan Cristante’s move over the six-yard box, but didn’t quite make it. Taty Castellanos had a shot from a distance that was successful.
During the 64th minute, Daichi Kamada had the opportunity to score, but he was unable to do so because he was caught offside during the pass that Matteo Guendouzi provided.
Even though it had been almost a year since Tammy Abraham had suffered that devastating knee ligament injury, he made his comeback in June of 2023, and the tension was at an all-time high with a series of fights.
