While Claudio Ranieri announced that he would retire (once again) at the end of the season, his AS Roma team showed him that they could still give him pleasure until then. Host of the match between Patrick Vieira's Genoa on Friday evening, the club from the Italian capital won and signed a fifth match in a row without defeat in Serie A (three wins and two draws).
In all competitions, the Giallorossi have not lost since December 15. More than a month later after a surprising setback in Como (2-0), things have changed a lot for them. Against Genoa, it was first Artem Dovbyk who opened the scoring (1-0, 25th). But Patriozio Masini brought the visitors back almost straight away (1-1, 33rd).
Ranieri, winning coaching
At the break, winning coaching from Ranieri who brought in Stephan El Shaarawy and the latter restored his confidence by giving the Romans the advantage back on the hour mark (2-1, 60th). The victory then took shape definitively when the unfortunate Nicola Leali scored against his side (3-1, 73rd).
This success allows Roma to temporarily climb to ninth place, five points behind the European places. A goal that is still very distant. As for Genoa, it remains eleventh, four points behind its evening tormentor.
