spots in Serie A
Como rallies past 10-man Roma 2-1 to move into Champions League spots in Serie A
ROME (AP) --- Como came from behind to move into fourth place and a Champions
League spot with a 2-1 win over 10-man Roma in the Italian league on Sunday.
Despite missing key players, Roma took an early lead from Donyell Malen's
penalty after Stephan El Shaarawy was brought down. Both teams created chances
after the interval and Como coach Cesc Fabregas' changes paid off as Tasos
Douvikas beat the offside trap to equalize.
A turning point came soon after when Roma's Wesley was shown a second yellow
card for a challenge on Assane Diao. Como made the most of its numerical
advantage and Diego Carlos sealed the win with his first Serie A goal in the
79th minute.
Roma was in sixth place, three points behind Como.
Elsewhere, substitute Vitinha and Leo Ostigard scored in Genoa's 2-0 win at
last-place Verona as Daniele De Rossi's side moved even further away from the
relegation zone.
Genoa is 13th with 33 points after 29 rounds, nine points above 18th-place
Cremonese.
Serie A leader Inter Milan was held 1-1 by Atalanta at home on Saturday,
leaving the door open for AC Milan to further close the gap to its rival.
Lagging eight points behind Inter, AC Milan played at Lazio later Sunday.
Vitinha scored right after coming on as a replacement for Caleb Ekuban with a
powerful shot from long range around the hour mark. Ostigard made it 2-0 in the
86th minute with a header from a free kick.
Winning with 10 men Down to 10 men from the 37th minute after Rafiu Durosinmi kicked defender Yerry Mina, 19th-place Pisa claimed its second league win of the season. Antonio Caracciolo scored a brace in the 3-1 win over Cagliari, which also finished with 10 men following Adam Obert's late dismissal for a second yellow card.
Bologna goalkeeper injured Bologna beat Sassuolo 1-0, with Thijs Dallinga scoring early in the game. But Bologna lost several players through injuries ahead of the second leg of the Europa League round-of-16 tie at Roma on Thursday, with the first leg a 1-1 draw. Goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski was injured after an aerial challenge but was forced to play on because coach Vincenzo Italiano had already used all his substitutions. Nikola Moro and Lorenzo De Silvestri also got injured Sunday. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
