Roma opening the score in the 45th minute. Bad luck for Sassuolo. There is the own goal by Gianluca Pegolo giving the lead to Roma.
Brilliant work from the defender – who wins the ball back inside the opposition area, beats his man and, from an acute angle, somehow slips a shot past Pegolo and in! The deadlock is broken! #ASRoma #SassuoloRoma pic.twitter.com/OLoxWP0Kun
