It is a total flop for AS Roma. Yes, my friends, the Roman gladiators failed to win the home game at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium after leading with a 2-0 to end the match with a 2-2 draw. Stats were in favor of Roma. At home games, in the last 5 games Roma have not lost to Chievo Verona. Today, it increases to 6, but what is the point to have a draw after leading? Oh well, Roma failed while Chievo got a golden point. Simply put, the goals from El Shaarawy and Cristante during the opening 45 minutes weren’t enough to win the game.
Roma opened the score in the 10th minute. Forward Stephan El Shaarawy defeated Chievo Verona goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino from close range with a left footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Alessandro Florenzi. It is El Shaarawy’s sixth goal against Chievo….
Fair to say that Stephan El Shaarawy enjoys playing against @ACChievoVerona

Bryan Cristante increasing the score for the Roman gladiators in the 30th minute for the 2-0. It is Cristante’s first goal with Roma since his signing. Cristante defeating goalkeeper Sorrentino with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by forward Edin Dzeko. Way to go.

A brave Chievo battled and after being down ended the game with a 2-2 draw. The hero for Chievo is Mariusz Stepinski scoring with a right footed shot to equalize the score.

It’s finished 2-2 at the Olimpico after a game of two very different halves.
Goals from El Shaarawy and Cristante during the opening 45 minutes weren’t enough to clinch all three points in the end after a late equaliser from the visitors. pic.twitter.com/5eWKIivwLx
