The first half was dominated by the team from the Italian capital, which was visible from the very beginning. In the 12th minute, after a long shot from Roma’s goalkeeper, the ball went directly to the attack line. Leonardo Spinazzola, the hosts’ left winger, steered the ball into the penalty area. The Italian tried to pass at the end of the action, but the ball, luckily for him, bounced off the returning defender and was again within his range. Spinazzola stopped thinking and struck, and Drągowski, confused by the whole situation, did not sense the shooter’s intention.
The score of 1-0 remained until the end of the first part of the match, although it was threatening several times under the goal guarded by the Pole. Roma fired a total of four shots into his goal, including two in quick succession of 37 minutes. The 23-year-old managed to save both strokes in a great style.
After the second parade, the Polish representative suffered a minor shoulder injury, but it turned out to be harmless. The Romans did not have such an easy way to Drągowski’s goal in the second half, but Fiorentina still did not cope with the offensive.
In the 70th minute, after an action carried out at an excellent pace, Giallorossi increased to 2: 0. Four players participated in the smooth transfer of the ball to the opponents’ goal, and the one who hit it into the net was Pedro. In the final fragment, Lucas Martinez Quarta from Fiorentina received the red card.
AS Roma – ACF Fiorentina 2:0 (1:0)
Goals: Leonardo Spinazzola (12), Pedro (70)
