Roma continue their rise under Daniele De Rossi and managed to win their short stoppage time match against Udinese 2-1 on aggregate in dramatic fashion.
This is the match, in the 72nd minute, in which Evan Ndika lost consciousness on the field, and subsequently the two teams decided to end the match.
According to the order of the federation, the match was played last night, starting from the 72nd minute, and the two coaches had the right to make changes, and it was not necessary to start the players who finished that unfortunate match on the field.
The short 20-minute game resumed at 1-1 after Roberto Pereira had put the home side ahead and Romelu Lukaku had equalized shortly before team-mate Ndika collapsed on the pitch.

In the play-off, both teams had one chance each, and when it seemed that 1:1 would remain the final score, Roma got a chance to execute a corner from which they reached the precious success in the 95th minute.
Dybala crossed and Bryan Cristante rose to head the ball into the far corner of the goal to give Roma all three points.
Thus, the “wolves” remain in fifth place, which gives the right to participate in the Champions League, and have 58 points. Sixth is Atalanta with 52 and a game less. Both teams can participate in the Champions League next season either by finishing fifth in the table or by winning the Europa League, as they currently have a good chance of doing so by reaching the semi-finals.
