Serie A: AS Roma pushes Sassuolo into the red zone

This Sunday evening, Rome is in turmoil. Indeed, for the 19th day of Serie A, AS Rome hosted its neighbor and rival Lazio. An important meeting for the two teams who aspire to be European at the end of the season. And in this momentous shock, it was the Giallorossi who lit the first fuse.

Indeed, at the end of a superb action, Lorenzo Pellegrini was found at the edge of the area. Not rushing, the 28-year-old attacking midfielder eliminated a player before sending a clear shot into the top corner. A welcome opener as La Louve doubled the lead a few minutes later thanks to Alexis Saelemaekers.
