Roma was eliminated in the eighth finals of the Italian Cup. Eusebio Di Francesco`s team retreated 1:2 to Turin and paid the dear price for its many omissions. Lazio`s Lorenzo Lorenzo De Silvestri and Simone Edera were well-suited for the guests, and Patrick Schick scored the honor wizards for the `wolves. `0:2 One Jack missed a penalty.
In the next round, Torino will face the winner of the Juventus-Genoa. The match from soccer predictions will be played on January 3rd. Roma was once again without the injured Gregor Deflell and Rick Kardsdorp, and One Jack and the Allied Titular Guard took a break. For the first time since his heavy injury from the end of last season Emerson Palmieri appeared in the title lineup. The trio in the top positions was composed by Patrick Schick, Stefan El Shaarawy and Sengir Junger.
Toro came out in an optimal line-up, missing only Christian Ansaldi and former footballer of Roma Adem Ljajic. The injury of the Serbian national gave the youngster Simone Edera a chance to start from the first minute after being scored a few days ago at `Olympiacos` against Lazio. The guests were better in the opening minutes when they missed two positions at the door of Lukas Skorupski. Mbaie Niang`s first dangerous shot ricocheted a player in Roma, and then Andrea Belotti headed a corner from the corner but the ball went out. Goalkeeper `wolves` showed great reflexes to keep getting De Silvestri and one of the few good attacks from the hosts ended with a powerful shot of El Shaaraui caught in the post.
At a moment when Roma found the lead in the middle of the field and Junger was close to the goal, he fell in the door of Scorupski. With one corner kick, the Jalorossi defense forgot about Belote, and although his shot was saved, there was no one to prevent De Silvestri from finding the result. Roma could otogovori immediately, but his Toro Vanya Milinkovic-Savic - brother of the star of Lazio Sergei Milinkovic-Savic slew subtle kick Gerson. After the break, Roma created a lot of dangerous attacks, but the attackers created incredible oversights. Milinkovic-Savic had a day and saved everything possible. In the 72nd minute one of Torino`s rare counterattacks defeated the hosts, and Edera was headed 0:2.
Francesco released the heavy artillery in the face of Jaco and seconds after he appeared in the game, the Bosnian could return the intrigue. Milinkovic-Savic saved the penalty. The penalty was awarded for a violation of Emiliano Moretti against Chick, and the guests definitely disagreed with referee Calvarez`s decision.
In the 85th minute, Shik lowered his first goal for Roma. The Czech Republic took possession of the ball in the penalty area and with its left foot put it in the net. By the end, the `wolves` had an excellent opportunity to go on extra time, but Shick`s new shot was defeated in the corner. (0:1)
