Jan Piero Gasperini, head coach of the Roma team, admitted that his team was lucky at the end of the match against Lazio in the fourth round of the Serie A competition. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In the Rome derby, Roma won with a minimal score of 1:0. The only goal was scored by Lorenzo Pellegrini.
In extra time, Lazio, playing with a numerical disadvantage, had a very dangerous situation, but the visitors were saved by the goalpost. According to the coach, the team avoided the risk of conceding a goal, and considering the mistakes made in the final minutes, the result could be considered fair.
Currently, Roma is in fourth place in the Italian championship standings with nine points. Lazio is in 13th place with three points.
Gasperini's team will host Verona on September 28 in the fifth round.
