Roma Vs Juventus — roma vs juventus ends 3-3 after late fightback in Rome

roma vs juventus finished 3-3 after a dramatic finale in Rome, with Federico Gatti lashing in Juventus’s leveller in the third minute of stoppage time. The late equaliser kept Juventus four points behind Roma in fourth and maintained their hopes of reaching next season’s Champions League.

Roma Vs Juventus match recap

Roma built a 3-1 lead with 12 minutes remaining thanks to goals from Wesley França, Evan Ndicka and Donyell Malen in front of more than 65, 000 delighted fans. Juventus had been two goals down earlier in the match but struck twice late: Jérémie Boga volleyed them back into contention, and Federico Gatti lashed in the leveller, pouncing on a poorly defended free-kick to snatch an unlikely point in the third minute of stoppage time.

Goal sequence and key moments

Goal! Roma 3, Juventus 3. Federico Gatti’s right-footed shot from very close range flew to the top left corner following a set-piece situation. Earlier, a Weston McKennie header from the centre of the box missed to the left after a cross from Edon Zhegrova. Pierre Kalulu won a free kick on the right wing, and a corner for Roma was recorded as conceded by Federico Gatti. A Donyell Malen right-footed shot from the right side of the box was blocked after a headed pass from Bryan Zaragoza.

Substitutions and match management

The fourth official announced 4 minutes of added time. Roma substituted Bryan Zaragoza for Lorenzo Pellegrini. Juventus made multiple changes, with Loïs Openda replacing Andrea Cambiaso and Federico Gatti replacing Bremer. Andrea Cambiaso won a free kick on the left wing. Edon Zhegrova had a left-footed shot from outside the box saved in the centre of the goal by Mile Svilar. Evan Ndicka conceded a corner for Juventus. Neil El Aynaoui won a free kick in the defensive half and Wesley (Roma) also won a free kick in the defensive half.

Wider Serie A implications

Juventus’s stoppage-time rescue keeps them four points behind Roma in fourth. Como sit three points behind Roma in fifth, with a trip to the lakeside club coming up in two weeks’ time for Gian Piero Gasperini’s men. Milan moved closer to Champions League football after two late goals gave them a 2-0 win at Cremonese: Strahinja Pavlovic put Milan ahead in the 90th minute with his shoulder and Rafael Leão added a simple finish in stoppage time. Second-placed Milan are 10 points behind Inter, who beat Genoa 2-0 on Saturday, and next weekend’s Milan derby is described as having little more than local pride riding on it with Inter speeding off into the distance with 11 games remaining in the league campaign.

Relegation and other domestic stories

Jamie Vardy’s Cremonese are sliding towards relegation to Serie B after a 13th straight match without a win; they are outside the drop zone on goal difference. In the Bundesliga, Jamie Leweling struck twice in the first half and Deniz Undav scored again as Stuttgart cruised to a 4-0 home victory over Wolfsburg, with Nikolas Nartey scoring with the final kick of the match. The German Cup holders drew level with third-placed Hoffenheim on 46 points. Wolfsburg, who have not been relegated since promotion to the Bundesliga in 1997, have won only one of their past 10 games and now sit second bottom, three points from the last safe spot.

Injuries, cup drama and postponed fixtures

Scans confirmed that Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can tore an anterior cruciate ligament in Saturday’s 3-2 home defeat by Bayern Munich and will miss the remainder of the season. Sevilla came from two goals down to secure a 2-2 derby draw with Real Betis, with Isaac Romero thumping home from outside the box in the 85th minute to salvage a point at Betis’s temporary La Cartuja home. The draw leaves Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis fifth, eight points behind Atlético Madrid and Villarreal, in third and fourth respectively, hampering their hopes of Champions League qualification. A Spanish second division match between Sporting Gijón and Leganés was postponed after the death of an 82-year-old supporter in the stands; the game was stopped in the fourth minute at 0-0 so the supporter, reported to have suffered a heart attack, could receive medical attention.

French comeback and lineups note

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as Marseille fought back to win 3-2 at home against Lyon. Corentin Tolisso gave Lyon an early lead as Marseille were caught trying to play out from the back, and half-time substitute Igor Paixão equalised before Marseille completed the turnaround.
