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.
