Roma rediscovers Pellegrini and a smile in the Europa League

Roma-Braga 3-0

Roma also found victory again in the Europa League. At the Stadio Olimpico, in fact, the Giallorossi overcame Braga with a net 3-0. To open the scoring è was Pellegrini after only ten minutes, in the second half Abdulhamid and Hermoso fixed the result on the final 3-0.

Roma got off to a very strong start and after ten minutes found the lead with an angled right-footed shot by Pellegrini from the edge of the box. The Giallorossi captain went close to doubling three more times but two crossbars (the second hit before an offside flag was signaled for Soulé) and a mistake from close range denied him his personal double.

At the beginning of the second half the hosts doubled with Abdulhamid penetrating the box and beating Matheus with a violent shot under the crossbar. The Giallorossi did not stop and continued to make themselves dangerous but Matheus, sent off at 68’ for a hand touch outside the box, and a few mistakes under goal kept the game at 2-0. In the final, however, Hermoso drops the trio with an easy tap-in. 

Thanks to this victory, Roma climbs to 9 points, momentarily in 12th place in the standings, in the middle of the play-off zone.
