Mission accomplished.  AS Roma winning the direct challenge for the leadership.  Austria Wien and AS Roma had 5 points each before the game.  This smashing victory gives AS Roma the sole leadership reaching 8 points.

• Austria Wien came back from 3-1 to draw 3-3 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium on Matchday 3
• Austria Wien have won just once in 11 matches against Italian teams (W1 D5 L5)
• AS Roma are without a victory in seven European away fixtures (D4 L3)

It’s Austria Wien to open the score  in the 2nd minute.  What a way to start the game with this fast goal.  It is Olarenwaju Kayode to defeat AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson from close range with a left-footed shot in the center.

Great reaction from the Roman gladiators.  Two minutes after conceding a goal, it comes the equalizer goal for the 1-1 in the 4th minute.  It is forward Edin Dzeko to defeat Austria Wien goalkeeper Hadžikić with a right footed shot from in the center.  The assist is by Bruno Peres.

A turning point for Roma!   A super chance for midfielder Daniele De Rossi giving the lead to Roma defeating from close range goalkeeper Hadžikić following a corner. The ball was just there for De Rossi to smack a left-footed shot in the center.

Roma rolling big time in Vienna!  In the 65th minute the goal by Edin Dzeko scoring his second goal in this game with a right footed shot in the center.   Way to go for Dzeko.
