Szczêsny delighted the experts in a hit with Roma! “It was madness”

In the hit between sixth AS Roma and fifth Juventus it was 1-1 until the break. Admittedly, in the 11th minute of the game, the hosts were given the lead with a head shot by Tammy Abraham, but only seven minutes later he equalized with an elegant technical blow by Paulo Dybal.

A great match in Rome. Szczęsny is the hero of Juventus

The players entered the second part of the game. First, the second goal for the Romans was scored by Henrich Mchitarjan, and in the 53rd minute a phenomenal free-kick from Wojciech Szczęsny was defeated by Lorenzo Pellegrini.

This result lasted until the 70th minute. First, a contact goal for Juve was scored by Manuel Locatelli. Four minutes later, Dejan Kulusevski hit the hosts’ net in a huge confusion. The referees initially signaled Alvaro Morata offside, but the VAR verification left no doubt – a goal and a draw 3: 3.

In the 77th minute it was already 4: 3 for, because Mattia De Sciglio used Chris Smalling’s mistake. When it seemed that Wojciech Szczęsny’s team was headed for the win, 6 minutes later the VAR referees saw Matthijs De Ligt playing with his hand in the penalty area. The Dutchman got a second yellow card, he had to leave the field and the Polish goalkeeper was a real challenge.

Szczęsny, however, rose to the occasion and won the duel with Lorenzo Pellegrini, keeping the one-goal lead of Juve. Now the Pole collects great praise after his spectacular defense action. – It was insane on the part! Why did he take the risk? It paid off – said Miguel Delaney, journalist for The Independent.

Szczęsny: “I was lucky”

– What a ride in and out of the ball by Szczęsny. What self-confidence to try to do something like that in a match like this, at a moment like this. Mega performance of a Pole – wrote on Twitter Michał Borkowski from meczyki.pl.

Szczęsny himself in an interview with DAZN decided that he was simply lucky. – I must admit that I did everything not to defend this penalty. He kicked at me even though I had been lying a while before. I was more lucky – admitted the Polish representative.

After the intervention of the Pole, the admin of Juventus’ Twitter account went mad with joy, who later apologized for his entry.

At the very end, Szczęsny effectively stopped Tammy Abraham in the penalty area, and despite Roma’s superiority, he did not change. 4: 3 for Juventus allows the Turin side to strengthen with 38 points in fifth place in Serie A. Roma with 32 points have dropped to eighth position.
