If there’s a game that perfectly encapsulates and describes the word ‘unfair’, then it must be that one we’ve just witnessed between AS Roma and Venezia.The Giallorossi celebrated a 2-1 home win thanks to a late comeback, although the visitors were more than excellent for almost 70 minutes. Alas, the football game is (still) played for 90 minutes, and that painful decline in the ultimate part of the match took its toll.The packed Olympic stadium in Rome saw a pale, clueless Roma for most of the game, led by their new coach, Ivan Juric. The former Torino boss was recently appointed as Daniele De Rossi’s successor, but the fans were dissatisfied by booing many times on Sunday afternoon.It became almost unbearable for them after Pohjanpalo scored the opener, capitalising on his team’s superb performance by that point. Not only did the underdogs not withdraw, but they continued pressing and pushing for the second goal, which would wrap up the match.⚽️GOAL🇮🇹 | Roma 0-1 Venezia | Joel Pohjanpalopic.twitter.com/LXCkf6xrfQ— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) September 29, 2024 However, a couple of sitters, one disallowed goal (due to an offside of just a few millimetres), and impeccable Giallorossi’s custodian Mile Svilar prevented the minnows from what should have been a deserved away win.Instead, they conceded two goals in the span of ten minutes near the end, as luck turned against them.Cristante’s mid-range effort deflected off Busio and ended in the back of the net. That was the moment the game’s momentum shifted and Roma did their best to ride on that wave.Cristante scores the equaliser for Roma!!pic.twitter.com/UmZBTL7f26— Football Xtra™ (@FootballXtra0) September 29, 2024 They were rewarded with another goal shortly as Pisilli headed it home after a corner for a total comeback.An undeserved win, for sure, but the former Jose Mourinho’s side will definitely be happy for this sort of outcome that could pull them back to the top after an awful start to the season.⚽️GOAL🇮🇹 | Roma 2-1 Venezia | Niccolò PisilliSuper-sub Niccolò Pisilli changes score pic.twitter.com/4AccIwKCjK— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) September 29, 2024 SERIE A – MATCHDAY 6FridayAC Milan – Lecce 3-0 (3-0)/Morata 36, Hernandez 41, Pulišić 43/SaturdayUdinese – Inter 2-3 (1-2)/Kabasele 35, Lucca 83 – Frattesi 1, Martinez 45+4, 47/Genoa – Juventus 0-3 (0-1)/Vlahovic 48 pen, 55, Conceicao 90/Bologna – Atalanta POSTPONEDSundayTorino – Lazio 2-3 (0-1)/Adams 67, Coco 90+2 – Guendouzi 8, Dia 60, Noslin 89/ Roma – Venezia 2-1 (0-1)/Cristante 75, Pisilli 84 – Pohjanpalo 44/Como – Verona 3-2 (1-0)/Cutrone 43,72, Belotti 89 – Lazovic 53 pen, Lambourde 90+4/19:00: (3.40) Empoli (3.35) Fiorentina (2.30)21:45: (1.38) Napoli (4.70) Monza (8.50)Monday21:45: (2.15) Parma (3.50) Cagliari (3.60)***odds are subject to change***
