Final result: Roma-Genoa 1-0
Martinez 6.5 – He knows what to do with his feet, he manages even the most thorny situations. And it’s a good thing: at least a couple of interventions before giving up.
Vogliacco 6 – Maximum concentration in coverage, he immediately closes on Pellegrini’s cut. But he is unable to counter Lukaku. From 81′ Vitinha 6 – Immediate impact, it becomes dangerous.
De Winter 5.5 – He takes over Big Rom, holds his own in the physical duel but is brutally anticipated on the cross that decides the match.
Vasquez 6 – Of Gilardino’s three central defenders, the one who moves forward the most knocks weakly with his head on Svilar’s door.
Spence 5.5 – He wins the eternal ballot on the right lane with Sabelli, not the one with Angelino who puts him down in the duel on the wing.
Frendrup 6 – The man of substance in the midfield, starts the motor and turns it off at the final whistle. He could also score, but Ndicka sacrifices himself. From 90+1′ Ankeye sv
Badelj 6 – He crossed the finish line of 250 Serie A appearances, celebrating the renewal earned on the pitch with another impressive performance. From ’81’ Malinovskyi 6 – Makes Svilar fly.
Strootman 6 – From the 1st minute in the stadium where it all began, a master of ball management: he could write a treatise on this. Out to the applause of the Olimpico. From 67′ Thorsby 6 – Protagonist in the final assault.
Martin 6 – Celik raises his center of gravity to prevent his descents, as soon as he sees a space open up behind him he moves in decisively.
Ekuban 5.5 – Rewarded with ownership after a convincing entry against Sassuolo, he attacks little in depth to give verticality to the move. From 67′ Gudmundsson 5.5 – Timid entry, doesn’t find the spark.
Retegui 5.5 – Exhausting work on the flanks of Llorente and Ndicka, waiting to receive balls to attack. He bangs with the usual ferocity, but it doesn’t sting.
Alberto Gilardino 5.5 – High pressure to keep the enemy away from the area forces Roma to shoot exclusively from outside. He succeeds for a while, but paradoxically the inertia changes when he finds himself with the extra man. Maybe he could have dared a little earlier.
