After the 1-1 draw against Porto, Roma took home another draw – this time 0-0 – against Sevilla.

FIRST HALF
45’+1′ – The first half ends: the result is still 0-0.
45′ – Perez himself takes charge of the serve, who kicks on Dmitrovic’s post: the Andalusian goalkeeper is attentive and deflects for a corner. On the developments of the corner, Kumbulla hits the back of the head and touches the crossbar. Reported 1 ‘of recovery.
44′ – Perez’s double dribble on the edge of the penalty area: the Giallorossi striker is knocked down by Fernando and earns an excellent free kick.
43′ – Oscar takes charge of the joke, but the conclusion ends directly in Curva.
42′ – Ibanez foul on En-Nesyri: free kick from an inviting position for Sevilla.
38′ – Ocampos assist for En-Nesyri who, from the left, kicks on goal but Kumbulla’s deviation proves decisive, with the ball ending in a corner.
35′ – Action similar to the previous one, which this time sees the Pharaoh in the guise of assist for Borja Mayoral: the Spaniard, however, fails to kick by first intention and has the ball recovered from the Andalusian rearguard.
34′ – Central progression of Mkhitaryan, which sees the inclusion of El Shaarawy who, by a whisker, does not reach the appointment with the ball.
33′ – Another mistake by Darboe with another horizontal pass, Kumbulla is thus forced to spend the foul on En-Nesyri.
31′ – Punishment for Roma beaten by Perez, who goes to the cross in the center: the Andalusian defense rejects in the area of El Shaarawy who, by first intention, shoots very high with the right.

29′ – The match resumes with a postponement from the bottom of Fuzato.
27′ – Game temporarily interrupted for a cooling break.
25′ – Nice through ball from Suso between the lines for En-Nesyri: the Moroccan receives and ends on goal, but finds the opposition of Fuzato.
21′ – After Dmitrovic, Fuzato is also wrong who, in the setting phase, mistakenly serves Suso. The former Milan, however, hits badly from outside the box and sends the ball wide to the side.
19′ – Cross apparently harmless than the usual Suso, Fuzato does not understand Reynolds and does not make the high exit: the American, in order not to risk, decides to deflect for a corner.
18′ – Sevilla try to respond, with a change of play by Oscar for Suso, who goes to the cross to look for En-Nesyri, well anticipated by Kumbulla.
15′ – This time Gudelj is wrong who does not notice the central departure of Mkhitaryan: the Armenian continues his progression up to the edge of the penalty area where, with his right foot, he kicks in the goal with Dmitrovic taking refuge in the corner.
14′ – El Shaarawy advances on the left, the Pharaoh seeks the vertical pass for Perez, well anticipated by Gudelj.
12′ – Ibanez foul in midfield on En-Nesyri: free kick for Sevilla.
10′ – Error by Sevilla goalkeeper Dmitrovic who, in returning, hits Borja Mayoral who is unable to control an objectively complicated ball.
9′ – Roma try to appear for the first time in the Andalusian penalty area, trying to break through on the right with Reynolds and Perez, but the Spanish rearguard closes well.
8′ – Error by Darboe who loses the ball on his own trocar with a wrong horizontal pass: Suso advances to the right and crosses for Oscar, who, however, fails to frame the goal.
5′ – Resounding start of Sevilla who continue to push, this time Reynolds is good at not being overtaken by Oscar, kicking the ball for a corner.
4′ – Sevilla free-kick just outside the Giallorossi penalty area, on the right. Suso takes charge of the serve, with the shot being controlled without problems by Fuzato.
3′ – First chance for Sevilla! José Angel’s cross from the right, Reynolds miscalculates the timing of the intervention and favors Ocampos, who tries to surprise Fuzato who manages to deflect for a corner.
1‘- The match is underway! Roma attacks from Curva Nord towards Curva Sud.
