Thumbs up! AS Roma winning their first 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League Group Stage – Group C. Roma with an important away victory claim all 3 points to climb the Table. Roma defeating Qarabag on Wednesday 27 September 2017 at the Tofig Bakhramovs Republic Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Roma opening the score in the 7th minute. It is defender Kostas Manolas to defeat Qarabag goalkeeper Šehić with a headed shot in the high center. The assist is by Lorenzo Pellegrini following a corner conceded by Rasad Sadiqov.
From a corner the ball falls to the Greek defender, who powers the ball home! He was pleased with that one!
