After yesterday's matches between Rome's "Lazio" and Turin's "Juventus" teams, today in the fifteenth round of the Italian championship, the teams from the same cities "Roma" and "Torino" went into battle.
"Giallorossi", like the other team from the capital, did not experience the joy of victory. It is worth mentioning that Rudi Garcia's team has been unable to achieve victory for almost a month - the last time they earned 3 points was on November 8, when they defeated the same "Lazio" team.
In the face of "Torino", the players of the "eternal city" did not demonstrate good play either, as they only managed to make six shots on goal. However, "Roma" managed to score once - it happened when Miralem Pjanic took a penalty in the 84th minute, with the goalkeeper being obstructed in the penalty area.
With little time left for the opponents to respond, it seemed that Rudi Garcia's team's suffering would finally end, but in the final moments of the match, defender Kostas Manolas committed a foul near their own goal and gave the opponents a chance to take a penalty kick.
This was confidently converted by Maxi Lopez, so "Roma" will definitely remain in fourth place after this round.
In yesterday's match, the title contender for the "Scudetto" this season, Milan's "Inter", played against the mid-table team "Genoa".
Fans did not see much action and shots on goal in this match, but the game ended with a winner. In the ranks of "Nerazzurri", Adem Ljajic surprised the opponents' goalkeeper in the 59th minute with a penalty kick and helped his team to rise to the top of the league table until tomorrow.
Results:
"Torino" 1 - 1 "Roma" [0-1] 84' Miralem Pjanic [1-1] 90' Maxi Lopez (from the penalty spot)
"Inter" 1 - 0 "Genoa" [1-0] 59' Adem Ljajic 87' Danilo D'Ambrosio ("Inter") sent off from the field
