AS Roma secured a victory in the Serie A on Sunday evening, deep in injury time. In-house it looked for a long time that a point was the maximum achievable against Sassuolo, but in the 93rd minute Stephan El Shaarawy made the redemption: 2 -1. Rick Karsdorp was given a starting spot from coach José Mourinho, while Abdou Harroui stayed on the bench with Sassuolo for ninety minutes. It was for Mourinho, who went completely crazy after the winning goal, the thousandth game as a professional trainer.
In a very attractive game, the Romans thought they would fall behind after 27 minutes. Domenico Berardi passed Rui Patrício with a slider, but after watching the video footage it turned out that the striker was offside: goal disallowed. Bryan Cristante’s goal ten minutes later did not stop. The midfielder worked the 1-0 against the ropes from an excellent free kick by Lorenzo Pellegrini.

After an hour of play, Sassuolo, who was an equal opponent for Roma, equalized. On a pass from Berardi, it was Filip Djuricic who took care of the 1-1. Two minutes later came i Giallorossi close to a new lead via Tammy Abraham, but the striker who had come over from Chelsea shot the ball on the right post. In the remainder of the second half, Pellegrini also had the lead on his shoe; however, he lacked sharpness in the rounding and his attempt was over.
In the end, the winning goal was found. Substitute EL Shaarawy shot in from the edge of the box through the inside of the right post: 2-1. Mourinho couldn’t believe his luck after the win and sprinted across the field to celebrate the late goal. In his thousand games as a trainer, he recorded 639 victories and the coach took a total of 25 main prizes.
