REPORT CARDS
Pedro 7,5 – Great performance of the former Chelsea, who has the merit of recovering Caprari’s goal and with his speed drives Benevento crazy. He also gets the penalty of 3-2. When it comes out it deserves the right standing ovation
Dzeko 7,5 – For half an hour he runs off the area, but at the first good ball he strikes Montipò. In the second half, the goal of 4-2 is easy and easy and turns off the comeback ambitions of Inzaghi’s boys
Green 5.5 – Cross and delight of Rome. With an incorrect control he gives the penalty to Benevento, then redeems himself partially by displacing Montipò from 11 meters. His test today does not reach sufficiency.
Caprari 7 – After the brace against Inter, the former Parma takes away the whim of scoring for Roma as well. Especially in the first half he keeps the Giallorossi rearguard almost alone.
Iago Falque 5 – Together with Caprari one of the great ex of the game, but leaves no trace. In difficulty in retreating, with Spinazzola doing whatever he wants.
Montipò 5 – Good footing on Dzeko in the second half, not flawless on Pedro’s goal and then he is too hasty in the exit on the Spaniard who causes the penalty of 3-2.
