Rome: Gasperini praises Malen after his hat-trick against Pisa

Sixth in Serie A, AS Roma had the opportunity to return to the race for the Champions League in the event of a victory in Bologna (8th), this Saturday, for the 34th day. An opportunity that the Giallorossi did not miss, they who won (0-2) at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium, thanks to the Malen-El Aynaoui duo. Found by the Moroccan midfielder at the edge of the area, the Dutch striker perfectly adjusted Federico Ravaglia for the opener (7th, 0-1). The former BVB player scored his 12th goal since his arrival in the Italian capital last winter.

Just before half-time, he then returned the device to El Aynaoui who made the break (45th+1, 0-2). With this success against Vincenzo Italiano’s troops, Gian Piero Gasperini’s players climb to 5th place in the Serie A ranking and temporarily return to two units from Juventus (4th), who will go to San Siro to face AC Milan on Sunday evening.
