The match Roma – Milan on February 3, 2019 will meet two direct competitors for getting into the UEFA Champions League next season. The start of the match at the Stadio Olimpico is scheduled for 22:30 Moscow time.Roma The Romans had a hard time in the previous round, because they were waiting for a trip to Atalanta, which also claims to get into the main European club tournament. The start of the match in Bergamo was just great for the guests, the score was opened already in the third minute, Edin Dzeko received a handy pass from a partner and converted a one-on-one with the goalkeeper. It cannot be said that Roma dominated, but the guests used their chances much more successfully than the opposing team. It was possible to double the advantage in the 33rd minute, Dzeko was in the spotlight again, the Bosnian ran away from the defenders and beat the goalkeeper, he had only to get into an empty net – 0:2. Stefan El-Shaarawy killed the intrigue in the match, the Italian took the ball in the free zone and calmly outplayed the goalkeeper, increasing his team’s advantage in the 40th minute. The advantage of the Romans was undeniable, but the last word was still with the home team, Timothy Castagne closed the canopy from the flank, thereby reviving the intrigue before the break. In the second half, the situation on the field changed dramatically, the guests completely forgot about the attack and for the entire second half did not strike a single blow towards the Atalanta goal. The home team began to act more confidently, continuing their comeback in the 59th minute, Alejandro Gomez chalked up a second assist, and Rafael Toloi sent the ball into the bottom corner with a header from eleven meters. Atalanta continued to put pressure on the opponent, in the 70th minute this pressure also affected one of the hosts’ players, Duvan Zapata got the right to take a penalty kick, the player approached the penalty mark, but shot well above the goal. A minute later, Zapata rehabilitated himself in front of the fans, none of the defenders of Roma failed to close the Colombian when he went to meet with the goalkeeper – 3:3. The Wolves never managed to return to the game, so they had to be content with a draw, which is why they approach the Roma-Milan match behind their opponent’s back. Milan The Milanists in the last round were opposed by Napoli, whose players came to the San Siro in the status of a favorite. The hosts started the game well against the Neapolitans, they managed to create the first scoring chance by the tenth minute, Patrick Cutrone received a penetrating pass from a partner and went to meet the goalkeeper, the Italian punched from an acute angle, and the ball went over the gate. The Red-and-Blacks had difficulty in dangerous moments, the next one had to wait until the 48th minute, Frank Kessy caught the ball on the rebound and struck from the line of the goalkeeper’s area, but at the last moment the Parthenopeans’ defender put his foot up. Most of the time the ball was near the goal of Donnarumma, the Milan goalkeeper had to make an effort to keep his goal dry. The result is 0:0, the hosts can be satisfied with a draw, but in the Roma-Milan match they will need to get a winning result, because five teams claim the fourth position at once, there is no right to make a mistake.
