Dybala has two goals and 100 goals

the match
Roma achieved their third victory in the league and rose to ten points, confirming an excellent start to the season, as they temporarily took the lead alone in the standings. The opposite situation for Monza which remains very last with zero points and Stroppa’s seat begins to vibrate. The match had already ended in the first half thanks to Dybala’s offer: the Argentine scored two goals in a quarter of an hour between 18 and 32 minutes and beat the Giallorossi crowd. Ready Abraham goes and launches Dybala with a nice header, the former Juventus flies towards the opponent’s goal and closes his left at the far post. Not even Monza’s time to organize a response, something Dybala again doubled down on theft with a slip of Abraham’s shot rejected by Di Gregorio. Cynical Mourinho’s side, who put the finishing touches on two big chances in the first half, in the second half even the treble reached 60 minutes, definitively breaking Brianza’s hopes. Good third time for Ibanez with a corner kick from Pellegrini and a header. Stroppa changes the entire attack but his team does not reverse the rally, then the pace gradually slows down and Roma runs without problems. The only sentiments before the final whistle were a broken keel from Machin and Belotti who, as soon as he debuted in his new Capitoline jersey, used Di Gregorio. Then out of tune from a Giallorossi evening: El Shaarawy’s muscle injury leaves the pitch recovering, but the Special One can smile anyway tonight.

report cards
Christy 6.5 – Security in the midfield with dynamic and filter in front of the defense, also useful for entries in the offensive phase
Ibrahim 7 Excellent understanding with Dybala, participating in the first two goals of the Argentine and doing valuable work in front
Sensi 6 – Called in to take over the Brianza midfield, he tries with good footing and gives tunes to his teammates
Betagna 5 – Alone in the attack, poor service, trying to elbow and work with the body but results do not come
