Two poles (16 seasons between league and cups), a penalty wrong by Dzeko and at least three decisive saves by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, brother of Lazio Sergei: Roma is out of the Italian Cup at the end of a bewitched afternoon, surprisingly Turin passes 2-1 at the Olimpico, taking full advantage of goals by De Silvestri and Edera. The first Roman Schick network arrived in the final minutes for Di Francesco: the elimination burns and stains a first part of the season to be framed. For Mihajlovic is the second victory in Rome within ten days after the 3-1 to Lazio in the league.
HOW MANY CHANGES! - Rome-Turin is a great classic of the Italian Cup, it was the final of four editions (1964, 1980, 1981 and 1993). Di Francesco changes ten players out of eleven compared to the victory with Cagliari: the only holder in both games is Schick. The training is highly experimental, a risk against a good team like Taurus: in goal there is Skorupski, defending Bruno Peres and Emerson (on the return from the first minute) on the wings with Moreno and Juan Jesus in the middle; in midfield line three with Strootman, Gonalons and Gerson; in attack, Cengiz Ünder on the right, El Shaarawy on the left and the Czech forward in the middle. Mihajlovic's turn over is more moderate: Belotti is in attack, supported by Edera and Niang.
Few emotions in the first twenty minutes, Molinaro's only good chance on a counterattack: his left from a good position ends high above the crossbar. Roma tries to go left, but De Silvestri holds in the duels with El Shaarawy. It is the former Lazio to touch the lead on 23 'with a header on a free kick that Skorupski rejects in the dive.
