Roma, Ascoli ruins Paulo Dybala’s debut
Roma were defeated 1-0 by Ascoli, Dybala immediately a starter
Ascoli beat Roma 1-0 in a friendly match staged in Trigoria behind closed doors. Jose Mourinho made Paulo Dybala’s surprise debut immediately from the 1′: the Joya was inserted in the 3-4-1-2 in attack paired with El Shaarawy.
Despite the Argentine striker’s debut, however, the guests won by a narrow margin thanks to a goal scored in the 67th minute by Botteghin in the second half from the development of a corner.
Roma will return to the pitch next Saturday in Israel, against Tottenham led by Antonio Conte.
