Absolutely, Leão brilliant performance with a goal and assist for Olivier Giroud.
Juventus and Roma ended with a draw at the Allianz Stadium. Roma with their heads held high played with character against a Juve wiped out in talent by injuries. Roma show that they can play in big matches even without Zaniolo, with the Special One very good at finding the resources to change the team in a really short bench. Bottom line, Juventus failed to close the match despite ball possession and having the lead in the first half. The Roman gladiators grabbed this golden point thanks to the equalizer goal by Tammy Abraham responding to the goal by Dušan Vlahović.

In the next round, Spezia will play the away game against Juventus, Sassuolo will play at home against Milan.
Salernitana trashed Sampdoria and convincingly win with a 4-0 at the Arechi Stadium. What a way to change the stats, Salernitana have not found the goal in their last two Serie A home games, after having scored in seven of the previous eight – prior to that positive streak.
