DBasia.news – AS Roma continued their positive trend against Bologna in Week four of Serie A at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. Edin Dzeko determined Roma’s win with a 2-1 score.
The match featured a number of controversial referees’ decisions, one of which was to give Gianluca Mancini a red card after two dangerous fouls. However, Dzeko was able to inflate the host, as he completed a neat counterattack to win three points.
After the first half ended in a draw, the Giallorossi took the lead in the second half thanks to Aleksandar Kolarov’s free kick.
The Serbian player could have been awarded a penalty, setting aside a dubious decision, moments later. Nicola Sansone finally managed to equalize.
When the ball touched Stefano Denswil’s arm in the penalty box, and was not reviewed by VAR, it seems that it was not Rome’s day, especially when Mancini received a red card.
However, Dzeko was able to put himself in the perfect position to welcome Lorenzo Pellegrini’s cross bait and steal three important points for Roma.
The Giallorossi will return to play on Wednesday, when they host Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico.
