Jose Mourinho’s 10 games unbeaten run has come to an end. Roma has big problems with Bodo/Glimt, as the Italians have conceded as many as ten goals in three matches with the Norwegian team this season. It was 6:1 and 2:2 in the Group stage of the Conference league, and tonight it was 2:1 in favor of the Norwegians.🚨⚽️ Jose Mourinho was about to meet fans in Norway until someone threw a snowball at him, making him walk away from the crowd pic.twitter.com/4owAE01vTn— Footy Gazzetta (@footygazzetta) April 7, 2022 Roma went through oscillations in Norway again, opened the match badly, but then consolidated, and after the leading goal of Lorenzo Pellegrini in the 43rd minute, it seemed that this time it would be much easier to cope with the ambitious host. However, the Bode players once again demonstrated a phenomenal character. They equalized in the 56th minute with a goal by Uli Saltnes, thanks to a shot that deceived Rui Patricio, as the ball touched someone along the way and tricked the Roma’s keeper.12 – Lorenzo #Pellegrini has scored his goal number 12 in the 2021/22 campaign (all comps), overtaking his personal record in a single season (11 in the last one).

Just after the game, Mourinho was seen talking to the fourth referee. Maybe he has something to say about refereeing in this match (again), but in reality he has only himself to blame. Roma coach is lucky, because he will face week Salernitana before the rematch with Bodo, and will have an opportunity to consolidate his shaken team, before the big games against Napoli and Inter arrive.
