Serie A: Verona 1-3 Roma

The Gialloblu took the lead after only 27 minutes thanks to Pawel Dawidowicz, but the Pole was sent off for a dangerous-looking challenge on Nicolo Zaniolo. The Italian equalized for Roma shortly before halftime, and late goals from Cristian Volpato and Stephan El Shaarawy secured all three points for Jose Mourinho's side. Bocchetti began his post-match press conference by reacting to Hellas Verona's heartbreaking setback.

"What else can I say? We played a fantastic match as long as we stayed in it; even against ten, they were never a threat. We didn't deserve to lose, much less as a team of eleven. Head up and work: the boys gave it their all, which is unfortunate for some cleverness, but the boys put their souls into it. Hellas Verona suffered a disheartening defeat, leaving them in 19th place in Serie A after 12 games. They'll be anxious to take all three points against Monza next weekend.
