Referee Calvarese gives a penalty to Chievo Verona in the 56th minute. The penalty is conceded by defender Juan Jesus after a foul on Chievo forward Roberto Inglese inside the penalty area. Making matters worst, Juan Jesus gets a red card and the team remains with 10 players. Incredible so, Chievo failed to convert the penalty because Roma goalkeeper Alisson saved Roberto Inglese right footed shot in the bottom left corner.
