Juventus Defeats Roma with Mkhitaryan Absent

In the 19th round of the Italian football championship, Roma hosted Juventus at the Olympic Stadium in the capital.

It took Juventus only 3 minutes to take the lead with a goal from Demiral. In the 10th minute, the Old Lady doubled their advantage when Ronaldo successfully converted a designated penalty. Although Roma had more ball possession according to statistics, they failed to score against their rivals in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Roma was more active. Following consecutive attacks, the Wolves were awarded a penalty, which was converted flawlessly by Perotti. However, no further goals were scored, and Roma lost to Juventus with a final score of 1-2.

The captain of the Armenian national football team, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, was not included in the lineup for Roma due to injury. Following this defeat, Roma dropped one position in the standings and is now in 5th place. The capital team will play their next match away against Parma on January 17.
