On December 24, Beijing time, the 17th round of Serie A ushered in a key battle, ranked 8th Roma sat at home to face the defending champion Napoli, Lukaku faced Osimhen, and the Rome Olympic Stadium, which accommodated nearly 70,000 fans, was full.
The two teams played very cautiously in the opening stages and entered a tug-of-war, as the clock progressed, Roma took the initiative, Lukaku returned to the penalty area to find Beauvais and hit the crossbar with a long-range shot, and then Beauvais received a pass from Belotti in front of the goal, and the team continued to attack but could not convert into a goal.
In the middle of the game, the referee showed yellow cards to warn the players of both sides, Napoli could not find a good opportunity, Osimhen seized the opportunity to burst into the box and fell to the ground, but the referee signaled that there was no problem, so that both teams could not break the 0-0 deadlock for the time being.
In the second half, Napoli stepped up their attack, Zielinski's long-range attempt from the edge was saved, and Kvaratskhelia's shot was also confiscated by the goalkeeper. In the 65th minute, after Politano was fouled, there was a retaliatory deliberate kicking action, and the referee decisively showed a red card to send him off.
Roma played one more man and quickly organised a fierce attack, and in the 76th minute, a series of crosses from the wing threatened, and Manuel Pellegrini volleyed sideways into the corner to give his team the lead.
In the final stage, Osimhen fouled and received the second yellow and was sent off, and the suspense of the victory became smaller and smaller, and Lukaku scored a goal in the second stage to completely kill the game, and Roma won 2-0 against Napoli to win the crucial three points at full-time, and the team's next league games against Juventus, Atalanta and Milan are very difficult schedules.
