While the spectacle in London lasted, Roma and Lazio played boring match.
Boring, unattractive, not to mention ugly… The Eternal City directed a game that looked like it would last forever, and nothing worth mentioning would happen. If you came across the Kapitala derby while flipping through the channels, you certainly didn’t stay long, because Roma and Lazio played a game that was immediately forgotten as soon as it ended – 0:0.
Maurizio Sarri and Jose Mourinho seemed to agree to play without goals. We constantly saw them complaining about the refereeing, and they seemed to forget football at home.
We saw the biggest excitement in the middle of the first half when Luci Alberto crossed the ball and hit the crossbar. If the ball had gone in, it probably would have been more interesting. Like this, one big nothing.
The sequel brought defensive clinics from both teams. As the referee’s final whistle approached, the teams were thinking more about how to save a point.
