AS Roma win the Serie A Week 17 game defeating Spezia on Monday 13 December 2021 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Roma needed the victory to climb towards the top 6 positions, and they made it!  Spezia, with 12 points, remain in the 17th position risking to go down to the relegation zone.   Roma climb above Juventus into sixth place in the Serie A standings both with 28 points but Roma with a better goal difference. Roma are unbeaten in Serie A against Spezia, thanks to an internal victory (4-3) and an external draw (2-2).

Sour note is the red card for AS Roma player Felix Afena-Gyan in the 93rd minute, after a second yellow card, scores a good goal but the goal is canceled due to a coup that the young man used to stretch the ball.  Spezia, however, which put Roma in difficulty.

Roma opening the score in the 6th minute. It is Chris Smalling to defeat Spezia goalkeeper Provedel from very close range with a headed shot to the center. The assist is by Tammy Abraham following a corner conceded by Martin Erlic.  For the first time since Opta collected this data (since 2004/05) an English player Tammy Abraham has provided an assist for another English player Smalling in the same Serie A match.
