Pescara:Benali (83')
Roma:Strootman (44'), Nainggolan (45'), Salah (48', 60')
Before the away match at Pescara, Roma were confident of winning all 3 points as they played extremely well away from home. In the last 7 away matches in Serie A, Roma won 6, even against strong opponents such as Inter, Udinese or Palermo. Meanwhile, Pescara's home form was the opposite: only won 1/9 recent matches, drew 1 and lost 7 matches.
Therefore, Roma entered the match with great enthusiasm and created many good chances but their strikers missed them for most of the first half. It was not until the 44th minute that midfielder Kevin Strootman helped the away team break the deadlock. Starting from El Shaarawy's cross, Strootman gently tapped the ball into the goal to open the score for Roma.
With the opening goal, Roma played with more excitement and scored 3 more goals against Pescara thanks to Nainggolan (45') and a double from Salah (48', 60'). The home team only found an honorary goal after Benali's late goal in the 83rd minute.
With the victory, Roma firmly holds the 2nd position in Serie A with 75 points after 33 rounds. Meanwhile, Pescara ranks 20th with only 14 points.
