Rome opened 2022 on the left foot with losses to AC Milan and Juventus. But last week she recovered with a small victory over Cagliari and tonight (Thursday) defeated Lecce from the second division 1: 3 and qualified for the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup. Jose Mourinho’s team will next meet Inter, the champions and the leader.
In fact the picture of the quarter-finals is complete and these are the extra games: Juventus will face Sesotho, Fiorentina will host Atlanta and AC Milan will face Lazio in another battle between Milanese and Roman.
The opening actually belonged to guests from the south. Alberto Calabrizi, Lecce’s stopper, was left wide and hit the net after a corner kick. Roma reacted with the same coin, pre-Kombola scored with his head and equalized to 1: 1, five minutes to the break.
In the 54th minute, Tami Avraham took control of a ball with his back to the goal and fired in a round from 17 meters into the net to establish a turnaround, 1: 2 for the Wolves. In the 81st minute, Idor Shmodorov received a ball from Henrik Mikitrian, penetrated the field and kicked freely into the net to determine the result of the game, 1: 3.
???? On to the quarters! ????
