Genoa Snatch Late Draw to Deny Roma First Serie A Win

Genoa Snatch Late Draw to Deny Roma First Serie A Win

By September 15, 2024 0

Genoa’s late heroics denied Roma their first Serie A victory of the season, as the hosts snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw in the dying seconds at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Roma had taken the lead through Artem Dovbyk’s 37th-minute strike, but Koni De Winter’s towering header in the sixth minute of added time rescued a point for Genoa. The result leaves Roma languishing in 15th place with just two points from their opening three matches, while Genoa climb to ninth with five points.

Genoa’s resilience has been a hallmark of their impressive start to the campaign. After stunning champions Inter Milan in their opening fixture, they have now earned another late home draw, this time against a Roma side that had been expected to challenge for a top-four finish.

Roma’s frustration was evident as they failed to capitalize on their early dominance. Dovbyk’s goal had given them a deserved lead, but they were unable to build on their advantage and were ultimately punished for their profligacy.

Genoa, on the other hand, showed great character to fight back from a goal down. They never gave up hope and were rewarded for their persistence when De Winter rose highest to meet a cross and send the home crowd into raptures.

The draw leaves Roma with plenty to ponder ahead of their upcoming fixtures against Atalanta and Udinese. Genoa, meanwhile, will be buoyed by their positive start and will be looking to continue their impressive form when they travel to Empoli next weekend.

Juventus Held to Goalless Draw by Roma, Ending Motta's Perfect Start

Juventus Held to Goalless Draw by Roma, Ending Motta’s Perfect Start

By September 2, 2024 0

Juventus’ perfect start under Thiago Motta came to an end on Sunday as they were held to a goalless draw by Roma at the Allianz Stadium. The match was short on action and goalmouth incident, leaving Juve with seven points from their first three matches of the new Serie A campaign.

Motta’s team are behind champions and league leaders Inter Milan on goals scored after a much less inspiring performance than the two three-goal wins which preceded it. “It was an even match and the right result,” said Motta to Sky Sport.

“We’re only on our third game and today we played a team which is hard to play against, with a good coach and good players… There are lots of things we can improve. It’s very early in the season, let’s see where we are at the business end of the season, for now it’s too early to talk about our objectives for the season.”

A draw at Juve, where Roma traditionally struggle, gives coach Daniele De Rossi some breathing room for the international break after a difficult opening fortnight. His team showed a level of defensive discipline which had been lacking in their first two fixtures of the campaign but offered very little else for fans to cheer about.

The closest the away side came to scoring was a speculative distance effort in the final minute from full-back Angelino which whistled past the post. “We’re under a lot of pressure for right now and it was important to get away from here with a point,” said De Rossi.

“This is a good starting point. It wasn’t the best performance as we could have done better with the ball, but Juve brought on some brilliant players in the second half and we held out.”

Earlier Fiorentina came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 thanks to Moise Kean and debutant Robin Gosens, who looped in his new team’s equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Como fell to a 1-0 defeat at Udinese — who won of four teams level with Inter — after Patrick Cutrone smashed a stoppage-time penalty wide, leaving Cesc Fabregas’ promoted side bottom of the division on a single point.

Napoli Triumphs, Roma Stumbles in Serie A

Napoli Triumphs, Roma Stumbles in Serie A

By August 26, 2024 0

Napoli secured their first victory under Antonio Conte with a convincing 3-0 triumph over Bologna, while Roma suffered a shocking 2-1 home defeat to Empoli.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who recently became a father, played a pivotal role in Napoli’s victory. The Georgian star scored the second goal with 15 minutes remaining, ensuring the three points for his team. However, his most impressive moment came in stoppage time of the first half when he delivered a delightful pass over the Bologna defense to Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who opened the scoring.

Di Lorenzo, who faced criticism after his performances at Euro 2024, redeemed himself with his goal. Substitute Giovanni Simeone added to Napoli’s tally in added time, converting a low cross from David Neres.

In contrast, Roma’s struggles continued as they lost to Empoli at home for the first time in their history. Emmanuel Gyasi and Lorenzo Colombo scored for Empoli, while Eldor Shomurodov’s late goal proved to be a mere consolation for Roma.

Paulo Dybala, who recently saw his move to Al Qadsiah collapse, was unable to inspire Roma to victory. The team was booed off the pitch for their lackluster performance, which saw them fall two goals behind against a relegation-threatened side.

Meanwhile, Che Adams emulated Denis Law by scoring the decisive goal in Torino’s 2-1 win over Atalanta. The Scottish striker netted his first goal for Torino since joining as a free agent last month, tapping home the hosts’ second four minutes after half-time.

Adams’ goal and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic’s penalty save in stoppage time secured Torino’s second victory in two matches. The win came after thousands of fans protested outside the stadium, demanding the sale of the club’s owner.

Fiorentina were held to a goalless draw by Venezia in the day’s other early kick-off.

Leverkusen's Unstoppable Run Continues with Dramatic Europa League Final Berth

Leverkusen’s Unstoppable Run Continues with Dramatic Europa League Final Berth

By May 10, 2024 0

Bayer Leverkusen’s remarkable unbeaten streak continued in dramatic fashion as they secured a 2-2 draw against Roma in the Europa League semifinals, advancing to the final with a 4-2 aggregate victory.

Despite trailing 2-0 on the night and 2-2 on aggregate after two Leandro Paredes penalties, Leverkusen refused to give up. An own goal by Roma defender Gianluca Mancini in the 82nd minute gave them hope, and substitute Josip Stanišić’s equalizer in the seventh minute of stoppage time sealed their place in the final.

Leverkusen’s unbeaten run now stands at 49 matches, an incredible feat for Xabi Alonso’s team. They have already won the Bundesliga title and reached the German Cup final, making them contenders for a historic treble.

Roma, who were without injured star Paulo Dybala, had taken the lead through Paredes’ first penalty in the 45th minute. Paredes converted another spot-kick in the 66th minute, putting Roma on the verge of a comeback.

However, Leverkusen’s resilience shone through as they fought back to preserve their unbeaten record and reach the Europa League final for the first time since 1988. They will face another Italian team, Atalanta, who defeated Marseille 3-0 to advance 4-1 on aggregate.

Atalanta’s victory marked their first European final appearance, while Olympiakos also made history by becoming only the second Greek team to reach a major European competition final. They will face Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final in Athens on May 29.

Bayer Leverkusen Extends Unbeaten Streak to 47 with Roma Victory

Bayer Leverkusen Extends Unbeaten Streak to 47 with Roma Victory

By May 3, 2024 0

Bayer Leverkusen’s remarkable unbeaten streak continued with a resounding 2-0 victory over Roma in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals. The German club, fresh from their Bundesliga triumph, silenced the Stadio Olimpico crowd with a clinical performance that extended their unbeaten run to 47 matches across all competitions.

Leverkusen’s dominance was evident from the outset, as they soaked up Roma’s early pressure and struck on the counterattack. A failed back pass from Rick Karsdorp allowed Alex Grimaldo to set up Florian Wirtz for the opening goal in the 13th minute.

Roma threatened sporadically, but Leverkusen’s defense held firm. In the 73rd minute, Robert Andrich sealed the victory with a long-range strike, capitalizing on a moment of hesitation from the Roma defense.

The result marked a measure of revenge for Leverkusen, who had been eliminated by Roma at the same stage last season. It also extended their unbeaten streak to a record-breaking length among Europe’s top five leagues.

“We take things game by game and we are not thinking about being unbeaten,” said Leverkusen midfielder Amine Adli. “We are not thinking about making history or things like that — that’s why we are playing like this and the team is strong. We just want to enjoy ourselves.”

In the other semifinal, Atalanta and Marseille played out a 1-1 draw in France. Gianluca Scamacca gave Atalanta the lead, but Chancel Mbemba equalized for Marseille.

The second legs of both semifinals will be held next Thursday, with the final scheduled for May 22 in Dublin. Leverkusen will be confident of reaching the final, having maintained their unbeaten record throughout the season.

Inter Milan Crowned Serie A Champions with Grand Celebration

Inter Milan Crowned Serie A Champions with Grand Celebration

By April 29, 2024 0

Inter Milan’s triumphant Serie A title celebration reached its peak on Sunday as the newly crowned champions paraded through the streets of Milan, greeted by thousands of jubilant fans. The team’s 2-0 victory over Torino on Sunday sealed their 20th league championship with five matches to spare.

Simone Inzaghi’s squad embarked on an open-top bus tour, making their way towards the iconic Piazza del Duomo, where a massive crowd had gathered. Fans erupted in cheers, waving flags and setting off fireworks in honor of their heroes.

Hakan Calhanoglu emerged as the star of the match, scoring both goals in the second half. His first strike came in the 56th minute, a stunning first-time effort, followed by a penalty four minutes later. Calhanoglu’s performance was a fitting tribute to his pivotal role in Inter’s title charge, having become one of Europe’s top deep-lying playmakers since joining from AC Milan three years ago.

Torino’s hopes were dealt a blow when Adrien Tameze was sent off in the 49th minute for a foul on Henrikh Mkhitaryan. With the numerical advantage, Inter dominated the remainder of the match, extending their lead over second-placed AC Milan to a commanding 19 points.

“Today is a wonderful day,” said Calhanoglu. “I don’t want to talk about that other lot (AC Milan). Today I’m going to have fun.”

While Inter celebrated their on-field success, the club faces pressing off-field issues, including the repayment of a substantial loan and the pursuit of a new stadium. However, on this day, fans were focused on the joy of the moment, with the party expected to continue throughout the night.

In other Serie A action, Tammy Abraham scored a crucial goal for Roma in their 2-2 draw with Napoli. The English striker, who had been sidelined for most of the season with a knee injury, came off the bench to nod home a corner in the 88th minute. Roma remain in the final Champions League spot, four points ahead of Bologna.

Atalanta kept their top-four hopes alive with a 2-0 win over Empoli, while Daniele De Rossi’s Bologna drew 1-1 with Udinese.
