Rome – Juventus : On paper, it’s a game at the top, even if the two teams are fighting at the moment more for a place in the top 6 than for the top of the standings. But the Louve and the Old Lady engaged this Sunday evening in a duel that will be remembered.
AS Rome, 8th in the standings but tied on points with Fiorentina (6th) and Lazio (7th), hoped to return to the top 6; from the 11th, Tammy Abraham was 1-0 and put his colors in control. Paulo Dybala equalized in the 18th with a nice curled shot and the two teams joined the locker room back-to-back. It is after the break that everything will get carried away completely.

Roma are indeed back on the pitch with their feet to the ground: Mkhitaryan makes 2-1 at the 48th, and the break is made on a free kick by Pilgrims from the 53rd (3-1). It smells pretty good for José Mourinho’s men.

But Juventus, if it will wait for the 70th to react, will do it in quick succession: Locatelli, then Kuluveski bring the Turin club back in the meeting (3-3). The meeting gets carried away, and it’s even madness at the Stadio Olimpico since De Scligio will … give the advantage to Juve in the 77th. It will then be necessary to hold on, but a fault of hand of Matthijs De Ligt (sent off for a second yellow) causes a penalty.
Szczesny however intervenes in front of Pellegrini, allowing Juventus to leave with three points and to remain isolated in 5th place in the standings. Already the game of the year?
