Carles Perez unlocked the match in the first half, with a Roma deployed in the field with a still experimental formation. In goal Fused waiting for the arrival of Rui Patricio, on the right wing Mourinho has found again Karsdorp (out against Montecatini), with Smalling e Mancini (captain in the first half) and Tripi adapted to the left given the ko of Calafiori and the injury of Spinazzola. On the median Villar e Diawara, up front Carles Perez, Zalewski and Mkhitaryan behind Borja Mayoral. Curiosity: Gonzalo Villar took the field with the number 8 shirt (he had the 14), the one that last season belonged to Perotti and that he has now requested for the new championship. Zalewski deployed for the second time as a starter: the players on the field also helped him on some situations in which he made a mistake in the choice of some passes, then they also helped him recovered for a lost ball and failure to immediately attack the opponent.
In the second half, the players who remained on the bench were inside (Pellegrini, Veretout and Calafiori were out instead). Including Edin Dzeko that when he enters the field he has got that captain’s armband lost in January for the quarrel with Paulo Fonseca. After 184 days, the Bosnian wore the headband again: it is true that Pellegrini and Cristante were missing, but as happened also in the first test with Montecatini Mourinho could have entrusted it to some other player. The Special One wanted to give a sign of confidence to the Bosnian, bringing him back to the center of Rome and making him understand his importance in the team.
