Roma-Slavia Praga 2-0 NEWS
Roma continues its winning march in the Europa League, beating its direct rival for first place in group G, Slavia Prague, 2-0 at the Olimpico, and also preparing itself in the best possible way psychologically for the championship match away to Inter. The success that thrilled the Giallorossi public, 65 thousand present at the stadium, also enters the record books of the club, which had never won the first three matches in the group stage of European tournaments; while Romelu Lukaku becomes the first player to score in each of Roma’s first three UEFA matches. Numbers aside, Josè Mourinho’s team convinces with commitment and determination, finding the advantage at the first attack with a great shot from Bove and then almost putting the result in the safe with the Belgian’s doubling the lead, scoring just after a quarter of an hour. game.

Still without Dybala, Pellegrini and Renato Sanches, the suspended Mourinho – deputy Foti is sitting on the bench – does not make a big turnover: he places Llorente in the center of defense and the recovered Ndicka on the left and Mancini on the right, leaving Smalling still rested . Paredes starts on the bench, as Cristante returns to the midfield line. Celik and Zalewski on the wings, with the task of supporting the attacking duo formed by Lukaku and El Shaarawy, preferred to Belotti. Ready to face an exhausting battle, the Roma players found themselves ahead after just one minute. The ‘la’ is given by Pharaoh, who steals the ball from an opponent and serves Bove, who goes to occupy a free space on the left and beats the visiting goalkeeper with a right-footed shot. The Czechs, not well placed on the pitch, struggled to find countermeasures to the Giallorossi’s aggressiveness; and in the 17th minute El Shaarawy is back in the inspirational role. The attacker wins a rebound and launches into the open field, sees Lukaku’s cut behind the defense and serves it on the left: the Belgian’s powerful left-footed shot at the near post leaves Mandous no chance. The Czechs’ first shot on target came only after the half-hour mark, but the home defense was in no danger until half-time. When the game restarts, Paredes is on the pitch in place of Bove, who was booked, and Slavia tries to take control of the game, while Roma controls, ready to restart. Before being replaced by Belotti, Pharaoh also hit the crossbar, but his teammates did their duty to avoid any regret, preventing the Czechs from attacking Svilar’s goal until the end. Roma with full points booked for direct access to the round of 16 of the tournament, avoiding the play-offs with the ‘relegated’ teams from the Champions League. Certainty will probably arrive on November 9th with the return match in Prague, where it is hoped that the violence and tensions recorded today in the center of the capital will not be repeated – with clashes between agents and Czech fans, four of whom were arrested – and also in the stadium, with objects thrown and attempted invasion by the guest sector.
