AS Roma 1-0 Shakhtar Donetsk: 5 Talking Points

#4 Roma score early in the second half

Dzeko put his side in front

AS Roma did not have much of the ball in the opening 45 minutes of the game. Shakhtar Donetsk had 60% ball possession and they were set up once again to continue playing this way for the rest of the game.

As, for Roma, they had to make full use of their chances when they got the ball.

They implied it perfectly by scoring just seven minutes into the second period of the game when Kevin Strootman's through ball found Dzeko near the box and the Bosnian grabbed his chance with both hands finding the net after putting the ball through the legs of Shakhtar goalkeeper, Andriy Pyatov, to give his team the lead.
