Continuation of the 33rd day of Serie A this Monday evening. AS Roma hosted the Bologna club on its pitch at the Stadio Olimpico. This meeting was an opportunity for the visitors to begin an acceleration in the race for Europe, while Thiago Motta’s men hope to pocket a ticket for the Champions League. Similar objective for Daniele De Rossi’s troops. The first period was fairly shared between the two Italian teams with a fairly high pace and several chances on both sides. The trend changed for the Rossoblù with the opening of Oussama El Azzouzi (14th) before Joshua Zirkzee doubled the lead before the break (45th).

In the second half, the battle still raged with the reduction of the score of the Iranian striker, Sardar Azmoun (56th). But Bologna did not tremble and took cover thanks to the achievement signed Alexis Saelemaekers (65th) to lock in the victory for the visitors (1-3). In the standings, Bologna takes valuable points in the Italian championship and consolidates its 4th place, while Roma remains in a good position in Serie A with its 5th position. Next weekend, the Rossoblù will host Fabio Cannavaro’s Udinese, while the Giallorossi will travel to Naples for a crucial match, during the 34th Italian matchday.
