Rome and Milan Draw 1-1 in Serie A

Rome and Milan drew 1-1 in a match corresponding to the 22nd round of Serie A, held at the Olympic Stadium. The match started with Argentines Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé from the kickoff. According to the Argentine News Agency, the goal for the red-and-black team was scored by Belgian Koni De Winter in the 17th minute of the second half, while the equalizer for the home side was scored by Lorenzo Pellegrini from a penalty in the 29th. The draw favored Inter, who remain at the top of the table with 52 points. After crushing Pisa 6-2 last Friday, they have moved five points clear of the team led by Massimiliano Allegri. In this way, Milan remains in second place with 47 points, and Roma occupies the fourth position in the Italian championship with 43. Now, they will face Bologna in Serie A and Panathinaikos of Greece (Europa League), respectively. After a dull first half in which neither team managed to break the deadlock, Luka Modrić, a former Real Madrid midfielder and multiple Champions League winner, sent a cross into the area that found the head of defender Koni De Winter to open the scoring in the second half. Later, the home side's equalizer came from the penalty spot after referee Andrea Colombo awarded a maximum penalty to the team led by Gian Piero Gasperini for a handball by Davide Bartesaghi. The one tasked with taking the penalty was Lorenzo Pellegrini, who placed his shot with precision into the corner, far from the reach of Mike Maignan, even though the French goalkeeper threw himself to the same side.
