Without the injured Vlad Kiriches, Cremonese opened the scoring in the 28th minute thanks to Desers, who converted a 11-metre strike awarded for a foul by Rui Patricio following a VAR review.

Roma’s players also called for a penalty in first-half extra time after Ibáñez went down in the box. However, after a VAR check, the referee allowed the game to continue.

Immediately after the restart, Zeki Celik scored an own goal to make it 2-0.

Jose Mourinho’s men reduced the gap too late in the fourth minute of added time thanks to Belotta.
