Cristante on, Pisilli off for Roma.

Pellegrini off the crossbar!

He’s been their best player since coming on, Lorenzo Pellegrini almost draws Roma level, but his scorcher from the edge of the area thumps the crossbar!

82'

Cataldi replaces Adli for Fiorentina.

78'
What a save on Kean!

Great save, but come on, that was a miss from Kean! Dodo cross from the right and Kean has to bundle it over the line from point-blank range, but it’s too weak and parried by Roberts!

77'

Crunching tackle in the box on El Shaarawy, the referee judged it to be on the ball. And it was, but it doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt…

76'
Pellegrini close!

Dovbyk protects a ball with his back to goal, lays it off for Pellegrini, who gets away from one defender, but then the angle is too narrow and he hits the side-netting!

76'

Kouame a bit too generous there as he breaks down the left for Fiorentina, as rather than going for goal, he attempts a roll across.

75'

The New Saints create a chance with a cross from the right that is going past everyone, but Terracciano keeps an eye on it and manages to smother.

Pellegrini tries to make an immediate Roma impact, but his strike is over the bar.

72'

Pellegrini replaces Baldanzi for Roma.

Fiorentina 2-0 The New Saints: Moise Kean!

That was a bit chaotic too. Dodo cross cleared as far as Kouame, who gets it very wrong, so does Moreno, but it turns into an accidental assist for Moise Kean to tap in from point-blank range!

66'
Roma chance!

Pisilli immediately threatens to equalise, the first shot from 14 yards is charged down, it comes back to him and that is blocked too!

65'
Triple Roma change

Dybala, El Shaarawy and Dovbyk on, Shomurodov, Soule’ and Abdulhamid off.

65'
Fiorentina 1-0 The New Saints: Yacine Adli!

Roll across from the right, Kouame feels Adli behind it and lets the ball through with a dummy, first attempt charged down, but the second finds the bottom corner from just inside the area!
