The lunch match at the Olimpico smiles on Rome, knocks out Parma 5-0.
Dybala and Saelemaekers launch Roma in the first half. Until proven otherwise, which only a long journey can provide, today Roma against Parma is a salvation challenge. And Bonny immediately scares the Olimpico with a diagonal shot wide in the 3rd minute. Dovbyk leads the charge for Roma's reaction with a powerful left-footed shot, a prelude to the Giallorossi's lead. Paulo Dybala, the most talked about man in the transfer market in recent days, takes care of it: Joya gets a penalty by being brought down by Balogh and then displaces Suzuki for the 1-0. Having scored a goal, another arrives shortly after: in the 13th minute, good action from one winger to the other, Angelino for Saelemaekers who surprises a less than perfect Suzuki with a nice right-footed volley. Parma then also began to try from distance: Svilar had to put his wings to stop a fireball from Hernani, the following attempt from Valeri was just over. The ducals push to reduce the deficit, but Roma fight back and almost miss the hat-trick with El Shaarawy: this time Suzuki saves. At halftime it's 2-0.
Roma spreads, again in the name of Dybala. Upon returning from the locker room Pecchia changes a man, inserting Camara for Haj Mohamed, but as in the last minutes of the first half it is Roma who push in search of the hat trick. And this comes: after the general rehearsal of Kone, who goes inches from the net, Dybala takes care of it by correcting a rebounded shot by Saelemeakers on the edge of offside for the 3-0 goal. Halfway through the second half, Parma re-emerges, with Camara dusting Svilar's crossbar from long range. The reaction of the Emilians, however, does not materialize and in fact Roma's fourth goal arrives. Second penalty of the match, this time won by Saelemaekers: Paredes is about to leave it to Dybala, who however returns the ball to him, kicks the midfielder and makes it 4-0. There is time for other joys, such as Dovbyk's personal one, which sets the final 5-0.
