In the early hours of 1 November, the final matchday of the 12th round of the 22/23 Serie A season, Roma won 3-1 away at Verona to continue to consolidate their top four positions in Serie A.
After the game started, the two sides attacked and defended each other. In the 18th minute, Karlsdorp sent a straight ball and Tammy Abraham got the ball and passed Verona goalkeeper Mondeep in the box, and then pushed the ball on the post from a small angle. In the 25th minute, Verona was awarded a corner from the left, and after the tactical corner kick, Falawi passed the ball in the corner area to Davidovic outside the box, and Davidovic's long-range shot from outside the box changed line, the ball went into the net from the right side of the goal, and Verona at home took a 1-0 lead.
In the 32nd minute, Davidovic stomped Roma's Zaniolo while fighting for possession in front of the game, who fell to the ground in pain, and then the referee showed Davidovic a red card directly to Davidovic after looking back at the sideline VAR. Roma gained a numerical advantage on the pitch. In first-half stoppage time, Roma broke the ball up front, Kamara passed the ball diagonally to Tammy Abraham, Abraham's shot hit the post again, Zaniolo added an empty goal to score, and the two teams ended the half-time to draw 1-1.
The game entered the second half, when the one-man Roma team completely suppressed Verona on the pitch, the field advantage was very obvious, but they were slow to break Verona's goal. In the 81st minute, Roma were awarded a free-kick up front, and Pellegrini's free kick was saved by Verona goalkeeper Mondeep. Then, in the corner kick, Nemanja Matic's header hit the crossbar. In the 87th minute, Nemanja Matic passed the ball on the left side of the box to Volpato outside the box, who met the ball from outside the box and scored, and Roma made it 2-1! In the 91st minute, Volpato dribbled the ball from the centre to Sharaoui on the left, who picked the ball past the attacking Mondeep and finally fired an empty goal from a small angle to seal the victory for Roma. In the end, Roma won 3-1 away from home to Verona.
In this game, although Roma gained a numerical advantage in the 32nd minute, Verona is currently fighting for relegation, and the strength is also far from Roma, and the result of the draw can actually be a very good result. Therefore, in the second half of the game, although Roma firmly controlled the ball, Verona first adopted an intensive defense and then waited for Roma to make a mistake, which also increased the difficulty of Roma winning. However, 18-year-old Volpato scored in the 87th minute to break through Verona's defence for Roma and became the surprise of the game.
Speaking after the game, Jose Mourinho said of Volpato: "Volpato is already a player with first-team level, even though he is very young at the moment. Putting Volpato on is not a risk, I don't know if he can score the winning goal for the team, I just believe he can do better. ”
