THE MATCH REPORT

A good hour of slow movement and with few ideas, capable of only an endless series of wild high shots, and then the final sprint with a pinch of bad luck. It is impressive, however, that one goal, even if Roma were unable to apply technical supremacy and personality.
In fact, Roma seems to start the game on synthetic Boras experimental. Juric, even if the opponent does not have the consistency of Athletics, remembers the fatigue that remains in the Giallorossi’s legs after the first round and makes a big turn. Dobvyk and Dybala out, Shomurodov is at the center of the attack, supported by Soulè and Baldanzi. The defensive line is Celik-Ndicka-Hermoso. On the right, a place for the mysterious Abdulhamid. Paredes regains the keys to the center of the park, with Pisilli, and leads the movement. Roma keep the ball, Elfsborg try to counter. And it will be dangerous a couple of times, in the 19th minute on a corner with Henrikkson left alone, and Svilar reacts. Soulè tries once, twice, three times from outside, because the movement on the wings always finds that the Saudi and Angelino are inaccurate at the cross.
In the 28th minute Shomurodov has the ball well, but a shot on the right foot is high, soon after on a corner Paredes from the edge has enough time to coordinate but he is quick and shoots in the corner. So when Elfsborg appear to be asleep, quick action leads to a volley from Zeneli that challenges Svilar, but first there’s a handball from Baldanzi which the referee fishes out from the VAR 40th minute it was 1-0.
The second half opens with a shot from Abduhlamid, imitated in the 7th minute by Angelino, who brings the ball up again. At 16′ the ball is good on Baldanzi’s left, thrown for a corner. But Juric doesn’t wait any longer, in the 20th minute Dobvyk, Dybala and El Shaarawy come on for Shomurodov, Soule’ and Abduhlamid. A dangerous double ball arises immediately, Pisilli blocked by the goalkeeper. In the 28th minute Pellegrini also tries, after coming on for Baldanzi, with a conversion, and repeats two minutes later with a shot on the left foot that gives the illusion of equality, the shake the net out. 7′ from the end, when Roma were in the final push, it was the crossbar that Pellegrini denied the goal with a good curling shot from the edge. Dobvyk tries at the end, saved, but it was offside. All useless. Rome was demolished and full of problems, this is the decision of the Swedish evening
