With the emergence of a wave of offensive momentum of the home team in recent times, most of the spectators will have a feeling in their hearts that the goal is likely to come, and it has to be said that their prediction is quite accurate, but the actual result has a 180-degree turn from the conjecture.

Just two minutes after Werder missed a good chance, teenager Edra set up the visitors' first corner of the day with a helpless long-range effort caught between two defenders. Benassi drove the ball into the box from the left and Roma's defenders leaked badly, allowing Immobile to get an easy header in front of the six-yard line, but goalkeeper Skorupski was in good form today, prying with both hands to seal the ball. The ball flew down the middle of the field to a metre and a half in front of the penalty spot, and the two home players nearby didn't make a move as if they had been spotted, watching Silvestri next to them lift his left foot to shoot a volley.

Although the shot did not hit the angle, the Roma goalkeeper had just fallen to the ground, although he had already made a second save as fast as he could, and also touched the ball, but he still could not change the direction of flight, allowing it to rush into the net from above his raised hands. Who didn't expect that in an extremely passive situation, the deadlock of the game was broken by the Torino team, and the Red Bulls took a one-goal lead at the end of the first half.

Immediately after the goal, the visitors immediately stepped back at the direction of the manager, fending off the Roma players who were pushing out after the restart, trying to equalise as soon as possible, and kept the 0-1 result until half-time. In the locker room, Li Mudi first praised everyone's excellent performance in the first half, but the key point was to remind them not to be careless, to maintain a high degree of concentration at all times, and to be fully prepared for the home team to strengthen the offensive in the following game time. Finally, he took out several offensive routines commonly used by the opponent and analyzed them to deepen the impression of his own players and reduce the probability of being found to break through.

Sure enough, after the rematch, although no personnel adjustments were made, the Roma team's offensive was obviously more fierce than in the first 45 minutes. Their three lines, especially the backline, have advanced at least five or six metres, and the two full-backs have started to increase the frequency of assists, while also playing harder to stop the visitors' counter-attacks with fouls. In just six minutes, the two midfielders Gnarons and Gersen received yellow cards in quick succession, but the effect was still obvious. After missing two good counter-attacking opportunities, Torino were gradually pinned down in their own half and were no longer able to threaten Roma's defence for a short period of time, which also caused their own backline to start to be in danger.

In the 53rd minute, Gnarons sent a sudden cross from just outside the box to the right, the ball went over the heads of the visitors' entire backline and headed straight for the back post, and goalkeeper Milikovic Savic made a hesitant mistake when it came to the wrong place, causing him to take a step towards the spot and then stop. El Shaarawy, who arrived on the horse, shook off the defender's marking, followed up with a cushion shot, but fortunately, Savic's reaction was still very fast, and today's form was indeed excellent, a side save blocked the goal from close to the goal.

Two minutes later, Torino veteran Bruno Pérez's cross was headed over by Ranocchia, and Stroman, who was in the middle, volleyed straight ahead of the rest of the players vying for the spot. The ball flew straight for the visitors' goal and deflected into Diego Llorente's calf as it flew away. But the red bull's luck today is still very good, Savage, who has made a save, blocked the ball with his long legs, let it fly high into the air, the young man immediately got up quickly, without being interfered by Hick, who came up to fight for the top, and lightly stretched his ape arm to take the ball into his arms, and the height of more than two meters was really not white.

Seeing that his side was in a passive situation, Li Mudi immediately stood up and instructed the players to pay attention to the quality of the counterattack and not blindly take the beating. In the 60th minute, the space left by Perez's assist gave Torino a chance, and Las Diarra launched a quick counter-attack after a successful break, Falke dribbled forward to shake off Gnarons, who did not dare to foul easily because of a yellow card, and sent a through ball after swooping into the heart of the left flank. Benassi fell to the ground on the left side of the penalty area and crossed with his right foot, and Edla, who was on the cut at high speed, formed a one-on-one momentum, but his right-footed effort went over the crossbar under the interference of the onrushing Skorupski and missed a good chance to open the scoring.

The moment the ball crossed the frame, there was a huge exclamation throughout the stadium, as the home fans celebrated their team's good fortune. On the other hand, on the side of Torino, Edla, who had passed by the goal, knelt on the ground and yelled, blaming himself for not being calm, and the substitute players who had already gotten up to celebrate on the sidelines were also disappointed and returned to their seats one after another, and Li Mudi held his head with both hands, and his regretful expression was clearly captured by the camera.

Previously, in the first half, they struggled to score after El Shaarawy hit the crossbar and were quick to score. This time, I spit out the cake that was about to enter my mouth, and I don't know what kind of retribution will come, which is also a question that most followers are concerned about.

Seeing that his side almost conceded another goal, Di Francesco finally couldn't sit still, and he used the first dead ball time after the resumption of the game to replace the underperforming Werder with Argentine winger Perotti, hoping to take his side's attacking threat to another level. In the 64th minute, Perotti, who touched the ball for the first time after coming out, received a cross from the left after the breakthrough of El Shaarawy, and volleyed with his right foot from the right side of the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball was saved by Milikovic Savic again, which was his sixth effective save in this game.

Three minutes later, Stroman broke down the left and crossed to the edge of the box, and the Torino goalkeeper, who had previously been hesitant to attack, showed his weakness in that area again. He blindly rushed to the landing point, trying to hit the ball out of the danger zone with both fists, but there was a problem in the judgment of the landing point, or it was possible that his too tall and strong body caused him to run fast enough, in short, he failed to form a clearance, and collided with Ranocchia, who was always focused on the ball. On the other side, Perotti, who has an obvious disadvantage in stature, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to directly shake his head and attack the goal, and there was already a huge empty goal in front of him.

It's a pity that today's goddess of fate seems to have fallen into a joking mode and can't extricate herself, and after repeatedly exchanging good luck back and forth from both sides, the party that benefits this time becomes a red bull. The ball flew towards the back post with a side spin, but it hit the post and bounced off the woodwork, and Barreca, who reacted after a moment of panic, kicked off the field. The goal of their home stadium once again denied a shot from the Roma players, which made the fans sigh. However, the capital's ball market is a bit bad, with the 73,000-strong Stadio Olimpico having only 27,000 spectators today, which doesn't put a lot of pressure on the visitors.

Although he did not score a goal, the newcomer's performance on the pitch still pleased the home coach, and he immediately replaced Gersen, who had a yellow card, with Italian international Manuel Pellegrini, and the intention to continue to strengthen the midfield playmaking was very obvious. Li Mudi did not sit still, and he immediately made personnel changes, first replacing Falke, who was previously active but a little strained, with Boyer, and changed the formation to 4-4-2. After that, the youngster Pellegri was replaced by Immobile, who also ran far beyond the others, and it was difficult to contain the home team's defense better.

After both sides began to change their lineups, the game entered a period of stalemate, the visiting team that strengthened the defensive ability in the midfield controlled the opponent's crosses on both flanks well, and Schick's lack of ability to carry the ball with his back and break through made the Roma team's offensive unable to exert its maximum power, and Di Francesco, who understood this, had no choice but to call Dzeko, the main scorer on the bench, to warm up as soon as possible and be ready to play at any time.

Moments before the Bosnian centre-forward was ready to play, Torino seized a counter-attack and somewhat surprisingly extended their lead. In the 72nd minute, substitute Boyer successfully stole Stroman at the back, and then took the ball along the left side to the opponent's half, and forced Bruno Perez one-on-one with the advantage of physical strength. After suddenly reaching the level of the penalty line, he suddenly kicked back and dodged a right-footed cross from the gap, and Pellegri did not touch the ball with his header under the interference of the opposing defenders, but it attracted the attention of everyone in the home team's defenders, including the goalkeeper. Edra slotted in at high speed at the back post and headed home from a tight angle to almost seal the win.

The Roma team, which was forced to death by this goal, had no other worries, and could only attack with a firm heart and strive to equalize the score in the short remaining time. Di Francisco simply reversed his previous plans, and instead of replacing center striker Schick, Dzeko replaced midfielder Stroman. So after kicking off, they launched a tidal attack, directly pressing the red bull firmly to the ground and unable to move.

As a result, there will be more holes in the home team's backline, which should have been a good opportunity for the Torino players to counter-attack, but Dzeko's introduction immediately raised the Red Wolves' attacking standards by more than one level, not only shooting himself, but also creating opportunities for his teammates as a connecting point. Led by the center of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Shaarawy, Schick and others were also activated, and frequently attacked the away team's goal, so that the latter had no spare energy to produce any action in the attack.

In the 77th minute, the home team played in front of the penalty area, Perotti's header was crossed in front, Schick leaned on Ranocchia at the edge of the small box to stop the ball, and at the moment he wanted to turn and get up, he seemed to be pulled to the ground by the latter, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty. Regarding this punishment, Torino expressed dissatisfaction with the whole body, and said that the other party had traces of performance. The slow motion given by the broadcaster did not conclusively prove that Ranocchia's action just now was too big, but the referee's will was unshakable, and he firmly believed that there was no need for VAR intervention, so Li Mudi and others had to accept this result.

But no one expected that the right-footed push of the superb shooter Dzeko was a little substandard, and he actually kicked the goalkeeper's favorite half-high ball, which was saved sideways by Milikovic Savage, who had a magical play today, and stunned all the spectators, and the young man became famous. Theists, on the other hand, felt that the penalty, which was not based on a clear basis, was manipulated by the goddess of fate, returning the score to the result it should have been.

In front of the helpless expressions of the home team's players, the Torino players surrounded their goalkeeper, and everyone ran over to pat and even hug the Serbian young man, conveying their excitement to each other.

After the restart of the game, the Roma players who suffered successive setbacks were worthy of being strong players who could gain a foothold in the Serie A powerhouse, and quickly adjusted their mentality and continued to attack the away team's goal, after all, counting the injury time and leaving them more than ten minutes, it is not impossible to score two goals. In this way, the siege continued, and Li Mudi no longer let the Torino players think about counterattacking in their heads, and all ten people except the goalkeeper returned to their own half, and also used the last substitution to maintain the intensity of the defense, trying to defend the last moment.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, Roma launched an almost frantic attack, desperate to pass the ball into the opposition penalty area whenever they had the chance, and even if Dzeko couldn't get it right, there would be someone to fight for the second drop and keep the pressure on the opponent.

In the 85th minute, the visiting defence, which was under constant pressure, finally made a mistake when El Shaarawy picked up a cross from the edge of the box, Bareka failed to create an offside position, and Schick fired a powerful left-footed volley with no one in the box. This time Savage was unable to recover, he didn't even make a move, and could only watch as the ball slammed into the bottom corner of the net from his left side. Roma pulled a goal back, and there was still enough time for them to continue their fight, with all but two centre-backs pushing through the half-time to begin the arduous demolition of the bus.

In the final moments, the home side launched a tidal wave of attacks, but were unable to score a second goal, and the united Torino players kept the score 1-2 until the final whistle blew. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Roma suffered a shock 1-2 defeat to Torino at home and were eliminated in the domestic cup competition. The Red Bulls, on the other hand, reached the semi-finals for the first time since 1993-94, having reached the Final Four 19 times and the final 11 once, winning five of them, the most recent being in 1992-93 and 1970-71.
