After two slips against Bodo / Glimt, Roma regained their pulse by beating Zorya to secure second place in the group. José Mourinho’s team will continue in the Conference League, although they will have to wait until the last day to see if they will qualify directly for the second round or if they will have to overcome a tie against the third parties in the Europa League.
Be that as it may, Roma did not give the Ukrainian team a choice. He came from derailing against Bodo / Glimt (6-1 and 2-2) and had to recover the lost feelings. And so he did.
Those of Mourinho were far superior to Zorya and signed a balsamic win after a few weeks full of ups and downs thanks to the targets of Carles Pérez, Zaniolo and Abraham, author of a double.
It didn’t take long for the ‘giallorossi’ to make a difference. Former Blue Carles Pérez completed a rapid transition from the Romanista team to score 1-0 (15 ‘).
With spaces, Roma are a lethal team and they showed it again after half an hour of play when Zaniolo punished a loss for Zorya to increase income.
He was able to sentence Mourinho’s box before reaching the break, but Veretout saw how Matsapura stopped him from a penalty caused by Carles Pérez.
The 3-0 came just a minute after the game resumed. Zaniolo showed his mischief by letting the ball run to get rid of his pair and serve the goal on a plate to Abraham, who only had to push it.
The English striker reserved the best goal of the night, as he scored 4-0 with a beautiful Chilean from the heart of the area.
Roma will have to beat CSKA Sofía on the last day and wait for a stumble from Bodo / Glimt (who beat CSKA Sofía 2-0) to pass the round as group winners.
