There were a number of games in football that night, and some crazy drama was played. Roma travel to Udinese. Roma conceded the first goal in this game. Roberto Pereira capitalised on Huysen's mistake and burst into the box with the ball after a steal and slotted home with a single shot. It wasn't until the second half that Roma equalised. Cristante crossed the ball, Lukaku headed in the equalizer! I thought the game would end in a draw, but I didn't expect in stoppage time that Cristante scored the winning goal with a header. In the end, Roma won 2-1 and got a very crucial three points. Roma had 72 per cent possession and had 10 more shots on goal than their opponents and deserved to win. Roma came out of the shadow of a defeat to Bologna. Roma secured fifth place and chased Bologna in front of them.
In the Premier League, Manchester City travelled to Brighton. Although Manchester City played away from home, they controlled the whole game. City managed 65 per cent possession and went on a frantic 14 shots, six of which were on target, scoring four goals. Brighton, on the other hand, had just seven shots on goal and failed to score. Manchester City scored three goals in the first half to put the game out of suspense early. In the second half, Manchester City scored another goal to completely blow Brighton. Foden was excellent in this game, scoring two goals and three key passes. Kevin De Bruyne was also impressive, scoring with a rare header. Alvarez had 6 shots on goal and scored 1 goal. The win saw Manchester City overtake Liverpool and move up to second place, just one point behind Arsenal. The battle for the Premier League title is heating up, and the difference between the three teams is only 3 points at most!
In the 1/4 finals of the U23 Asian Cup, South Korea U23 was upset and eliminated by Indonesia U23. In this game, Indonesia U23 scored the first goal when Rafael Strujk scored the goal. But Tegu's own goal put the two sides back on the same page. After that, Rafael Strujk scored another brace and Lee Yong-jun was sent off for a foul in the 70th minute, and South Korea's Under-23s had to play with one man less. However, the resilient South Korea Under-23s equalised with one man down and sent the game to extra time. Neither side scored in extra-time and eventually went to penalties. Penalty shoot-outs took 12 rounds and Indonesia U23 won 13-12 on aggregate. South Korea's U23 stopped in the top 8 of the Asian Cup and missed the Paris Olympics!
