Roma 1, Genoa 0: Coppa Italia Match Review (Chiesa Di Totti)

With Roma once again struggling to score, Paulo Dybala pulled their feet from the fire, scoring the only goal in today's Coppa contest against Genoa.

With his club struggling in the run of play, Mourinho had the luxury of going to the bench and finding a former league MVP and World Cup winner waiting in the wings. The good news is we won't have to wait long to find out if Pellegrini, Zaniolo, or Abraham can take some of the burden off Dybala since they're going to run it back against the Viola in a mere 72 hours. After receiving some 20 yards away from goal, Dybala quickly wheeled to his left, using some slight stutter steps and body faints to carve out a fraction of space before whipping the ball towards the near post. Dybala received a helping hand (or arm, to be more precise) from Martinez, who deflected the ball into the net, but this was still a sensational effort from Dybala. Bove followed that up several minutes later with a stinging effort from 25 yards out, flashing just wide of the right post—Roma's 17th attempt of the night. Roma wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders in the first 45 minutes, but Pellegrini chipped in four key passes, four accurate crosses and nearly drew first blood late in the first half, only to be denied by the woodwork—not his best, but he was Roma's prime mover in the first half. Throw in the half dozen corner kicks they won, and Roma was doing their level best to break this match wide open. Unfortunately, the early returns weren't quite as sweet as the Giallorossi took a bit of time finding their footing, battling for possession in the midfield and misfiring on their first attempt on goal, a screamer from El Shaarawy that sailed well wide of the mark. This is nothing new, of course, but given the level of the opponent, it was a bit disconcerting. With Dybala in tow, Roma picked up right where they left off: winning corners and flinging shots at Martinez from every conceivable angle and distance. The tide nearly turned in the 33rd minute following a Pellegrini free-kick. The problem, as you may have guessed, was one of efficiency.

Matches between Roma and Napoli, already fiery affairs due to the rivalry between two of Italy's largest and most passionate fan bases, were made more poisonous by the killing of a Napoli fan by a Roma supporter before the 2014 Italian Cup final. Italian media report that Roma and Napoli supporters could be barred from travelling for a month due to serious clashes between hardcore "ultra" supporters of the two teams on the A1 motorway on Sunday afternoon at the Badia al Pino service station in Tuscany. His goal means Roma will likely face Napoli in the last eight next month, with both sets of fans set to be banned from going to away games after a motorway dust-up at the weekend.
