Roma are pouring forward now, pull-back from the by-line, Dovbyk does get to it, but only a delicate flick from a couple of yards, it’s not enough to get it over the line!
Another Shomurodov header, this time parried by Vasquez for a corner!
Tommaso Baldanzi wins the ball back in midfield, runs to the by-line and stands it up for a towering header from his fellow substitute Shomurodov!
A bit of luck, as it took a deflection, but he started the run on a free kick from the centre-circle, surged forward and the finish deflected in off Beukema!
Naturally, he celebrates by sucking his thumb, a dedication to becoming a father this week!
Cooling break in Naples.
Vasquez punches a cross away from Dovbyk, but Le Fee volleys it inches over!
Leandro Paredes with an absolute nightmare of a sequence 😬

Dybala first-time from a tricky angle, he keeps the ball low and hard, it is fingertipped round the far post by Vasquez!
On the resulting corner, Mancini header smothered.
Odgaard, Miranda and Karlsson on for Bologna, Orsolini, Ndoye and Lykogiannis off.
Baldanzi and Le Fee on for Roma, Cristante and Paredes off.
Kvaratskhelia tries an overhead kick, misses, Politano then shoots and it dribbles inches wide of the near post!
Conte celebrated Lobotka winning back possession in midfield as if he’d just scored.
Lorenzo Colombo penalty is scored! He swept it into the roof of the net, great spot-kick. Paredes shaking his head, he knows how dumb that was.
