De Rossi puts Roma back on the hunt for the Champions League

MILAN (Reuters) – AS Roma captain Daniele De Rossi has returned in the race to conquer a place in the Champions League. His goal earned the Claudio Ranieri team a 1-0 win at Sampdoria on Saturday.

An equal match led to a goalless draw until Patrik Schick scored Aleksandar Kolarov's goal to the goal, but goalkeeper Emil Audero saved the ball but the ball bounced off the goal.

Roma, who once again left the undecided goalkeeper Robin Olsen on the bench, had to wait nearly two minutes before the VAR system confirmed that De Rossi was on his side.

Rome's second win in five games under new coach Claudio Ranieri brought them to sixth place with 51 points in 31 matches, one behind AC Milan, fourth, who had lost 1-0 at Juventus on Saturday. The top four qualify for the Champions League.

Sampdoria was too careless in his possession, with movements steadily breaking down in the last third due to capricious pbades.

In the 89th minute, Nicolo Zaniolo scored the goal for Roma coming direct from a goal, and Manolo Gabbiadini missed a golden opportunity for Samp.
