The big moment for AS Roma new Coach Jose Mourinho making a brilliant debut.  AS Roma win the Serie A Week 1 game defeating Fiorentina on Sunday 22 August 2021 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy.   Sad debut is for Fiorentina  new Coach Vincenzo Italiano losing the game.  Yet, don’t panic, this is only the first game and we have 37 more games to enjoy both teams.

Highlight of the game, the debut of AS Roma players Tammy Abraham, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eldor Shomurodov being decisive in this victory with goals and assist.  Way to present themselves to their new fans!  The Mourinho Era has officially started!

Not a good way to start the game for Fiorentina. Referee giving a red card to goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski in the 17th minute leaving the team with 10 players.  Talking about bad luck!
