Rick Karsdorp came on in the 82nd minute before Nikolay Zalewski. The 27-year-old right-back from Schoonhoven made a quick return. At the beginning of the month, in the month of September 19, a geopereyrd was made on the meniscus. The expectation of AS Roma was toen dat hij minimalaal zes weken aan de kant zou staan, maar exactly vier weken later viel Karsdorp vanavond dus alweer even in bij Roma.
AS Roma climbed to fourth place in Serie A after beating Sampdoria. The team of José Mourinho, who played against his former player Dejan Stankovic last night, is four points behind Napoli. The next day’s meeting (8.45 p.m.) will be AS Roma and Napoli facing each other in Stadio Olimpico in the Italian capital.
