Dovbyk gave Roma the lead in the 23rd minute, converting a penalty after Taras Mykhavko was penalised for pulling Tommaso Baldanzi's shirt.

The visitors went close to equalising on several occasions, missing multiple opportunities, and had a goal disallowed just before the break for offside.

Roma took control in the second half and continued to push forward in search of a second goal, controlling the majority of possession.

The hosts nearly found the net when Eldor Shomurodov fired a shot wide from a tight angle in the closing minutes.
