ROME (ITALPRESS) – Roma overwhelms Empoli 7-0 and finds the first victory of their season in Serie A. Romelu Lukaku breaks free in the Giallorossi and receives the biggest roar at the Olimpico, but Dybala also ends up on the scoresheet (a brace ), Renato Sanches, Cristante and Mancini, as well as Grassi (own goal). Mourinho deploys the new golden pair from 1′ in attack, with Ndicka and Renato Sanches making their debut as starters. Ready, go and a naivety from Empoli gives the 1-0 at the feet of Dybala. After 30 seconds Walukiewicz anticipates Lukaku in the area but does so with his arm, referee Sacchi whistles the penalty and from eleven meters the Argentine makes no mistake. Six minutes pass and Roma double their lead. A long circulation of the ball splits the Azzurri’s rearguard in two. Kristensen draws a precise cross into the area for the insertion of Renato Sanches who heads the score to make it 2-0. Before the 20th minute it was the fourth woodblock of the season to deny the Giallorossi the 3-0. Leandro Paredes takes a corner kick and comes close to scoring the Olympic goal by hitting the post to Berisha’s left. The third goal is postponed until the 35th minute. Lukaku acts as a buffer for the insertion of Cristante, but Empoli takes care of the rest: Bereszynski returns to Grassi’s body and the ball caroms into the net. At the beginning of the second half Zanetti changes: Walukiewicz and Fazzini out, Ismajli and Bastoni in. However, between 55′ and 59′ Dybala invents the 4-0 and comes close to scoring the fifth goal. Cristante downloads from the right, the Argentine enters the area, puts Luperto down and beats Berisha. Shortly afterwards he takes a free kick from the edge of the box and hits the crossbar. In the 67th minute Baldanzi’s flash: the ball on the left foot and a shot from outside the area, but the post denies him the joy of scoring. Unlike Bryan Cristante who made it 5-0 in the 80th minute with a shot under the top corner from distance. Lukaku is missing from the roll call. And in the 84th minute Belotti serves him the perfect ball: the Belgian striker face to face with Berisha does not forgive. Just like Mancini who scored the 7-0 from a corner kick in the 86th minute. A very harsh punishment for Empoli who remain at zero points and zero goals scored compared to twelve conceded.
