The Roma back to win: the Giallorossi beat the Cagliari coached by Mazzarri thanks to the goal from the spot of Sergio Oliveira. Mourinho & Co. jump momentarily to sixth place, while the rossoblù club brakes after two consecutive victories.
The two teams try to face each other openly: very nervous game in the first half of the game with the referee forced several times to extract the card. Roma tries to take advantage of the lanes in addition to the dribble in midfield. Cagliari – in addition to trying to remain compact – instead tries to restart on the counterattack, with the Giallorossi defense which, however, proves to be unsurpassed in front of the rossoblù attacks.
The episode of the match – and that unlocks the result – is definitely the touch with the hand of Dalbert which leads the referee to review the action at the Var (who then assigns the penalty kick for Roma). Naivety that of the Brazilian, who due to his irregular intervention complicates the match for Cagliari.
The new signing of Roma marks the penalty which is worth the Giallorossi advantage. Overall, an excellent match for the Portuguese who “governs” the midfield together with Veretout. Superlative performance, also crowned by the baptism of goals in the spotlight of the Olimpico.

Mancini 6 – The Roma central proves impeccable in defense. The only drawback? The yellow card remedied during the first portion of the game.
Mhkitaryan 6.5 – Moved to the trocar due to Pellegrini’s forfeit in the pre-match, he succeeds several times in triggering the attackers and leading the Giallorossi restarts.
Maitland-Niles 6,5 – Good race that of the Englishman on the right wing, he pushes in the offensive phase while in the defensive one he runs no particular dangers.
Dalbert 5,5 – His handball that leads to the penalty of Rome, not very incisive in the counterattack phase.
Pavoletti 6 – Despite the few opportunities available, he tries to pick up the team.
João Pedro 6 – Several times, the Brazilian was blocked by the Giallorossi rearguard and failed to make his mark during the match at the Olimpico. During the second half he tries to make himself dangerous by trying not to give points of reference to the opposing defense. Goes very close to scoring but sees his shot print on the crossbar.
