Roma wins in stoppage time against Udinese in the replayed match following Evan Ndicka’s discomfort

The scene is unusual, obviously: two teams who prepare normally and enter the pitch, a referee who positions himself near a surface, where the play had stopped, and who drops the ball so that the match can resume in the 72nd minute of play.

“No one wanted to continue playing,” Louve coach Daniele de Rossi said at the time. We had to resume this Thursday, with a clear mind following the good news concerning the Ivorian, and confirm the result of a match which had until then left the two teams with a draw (1-1).

And, eleven days later, Roma made the difference in stoppage time thanks to Bryan Cristante, author of a beautiful uncrossed header from a corner nicely struck by Paulo Dybala (95th, 2-1).

The Romans regain a little margin on Atalanta in the race for the top 5, while Udinese are neck and neck with Frosinone in the fight for maintenance.
