Roma keep the preciuos advantage of the first leg and is qualified.
Balanced match .Roma and Ajax threat each other in the same level.Team from Netherlands had more ball posession,but it is not enough to be the qualified team…
Into the match.
Match starts as we spot a clear pressing block by Roma.Fonseca had thought it nicely to keep some balance.Dzeko wasn’t fast enough in the pressing and Ajax could profit from it.Tadic has a good position inside the zone in the first minutes ,but his horizontal pass is cleared.Roma immediately restore the balance.It was Pellegrini who could score, but his shot is central.Veretout gets a pass inside the zone,scores but is well offside in the eighth.
That ball in the face of Neres in the twelfth hurted even from the TV.He was trying to press but the trajectory is right in his face.Klaiber and Klassen combine well inside the roman box couple minutes later.Klassen see a goal denied by Diawara.
Ajax is getting dangerous.Klaiber has a thigh injury and it is replaced by Schuurs.The defender puts some effort in the game.Ajax icrease intensity and the high block of Roma now is the secound line of defending.Roma are ten man in their own half.Ajax had to score two…
Romans are nervous though.First half is ending.They don’t see the target as Stekelenburg is having a break.He is familiar with these surroundings as he played for AS Roma.
Second half comes with a substitution.Antony leave ,Brobbey in.Nineteen years old to score after four minutes in the game.Ajax is ahead in the 49 minute.Brobbey passes the keeper with a sombrero to score with empty target.Pellegrini has a free kick and the question is would he score again.No…the shot is out in the 53-rd minute.
Roma’s defenders had some work with Brobbey.His pace outplay Cristante.Then Neres gives a short pass for Alvarez who send the ball over crossbar from a good position.Ten minutes in the second half and Ajax is all in.
Tagliafico gets a ball from Mkitaryan,referee Taylor says it’s clean,Brobbey gets the ball and shoots from the edge of the box,keeper defects and Tadic is there to score.VAR invites Anthony Taylor to watch the Taglifico’s tackle and the screen clears his vision.Goal disallowed.Unbelievable.Taylor had the action half a meter away.
Pellegrini has a good chance in the 64 minute but his ball is intercepted by Lisandro Martinez.Tadic is dangerous is the other side and Ajax manager Erik ten Hag wants more accuracy in the field.Alvarez is out with the ghosts of that missed shot and Kudus in the game.
Roma punish Ajax with a counter.Calafiori has all opened in the left side.Ball goes to Edin Dzeko and the bosnian seals the fate of the game and the verdict of the quarter.Ajax need one more but their physicallity don’t promis much as they try to push in the zone.
Thigh for Calafiori in the 75 minute.Villar replaces him later on with ten minutes to administrate.Dzeko is out also for Mayoral in.Ajax made two replacements in the 83 minute.Traore is in the field for Nere out and surprisingly Schuurs who was in the game from the bench was substituted by Idrissi.Pedro had some minutes also .Dramatic last minutes didn’t change the result.
Game ends as Roma is qualified.Ajax were unable to change the fate of two legs as italians had something more and deservedly go through.For the dutch team that semi against Tottenham was their highest point.They should build themselves for the next european compedition.Roma keep the italian flag hight with this qualification as they are among the favourites to win Europa League.
