On the one hand, a team with this much talent in attack shouldn't struggle to put away likely relegation battlers like Salernitana and Cremonese. In a moment fitting the match, where Roma couldn't find a breakthrough in the run of play, the Giallorossi drew first blood thanks to a sublime setpiece from Pellegrini and Chris Smalling. With approximately 20 minutes to play, Mourinho's intent was clear: kill this match off, collect the points and call it a day. At the same time, at the other end of the pitch, Cyriel Dessers nearly silenced the 60,000 Roma fans who watched in horror as his shot glided towards the top of Rui Patricio's goal, only to be denied by the crossbar. With four minutes of added time, Roma still had plenty of work to do, and Cremonese wasn't done scaring us yet. Zaniolo had another great look at goal in the 42nd minute, bursting through the midfield again before being upended by Luka Lochoshvili, who did well to break up the would-be goal with a hard slide tackle, one that kept Zaniolo on the pitch for several minutes as the trainers tended to his left shoulder. The visitors created two half-chances moments later, sending shivers down Roma's spine off a setpiece of their own while Emanuele Valeri spun his way into and out of a chance at the near left post. With Zaniolo locked and loaded, Vlad Chiriches entered the frame, snuffing out Zaniolo's attempt with a sliding block in the 31st minute. Roma continued to probe for an opener in the 9th minute when Dybala, working out wide on the left, whipped the ball across the goal mouth towards Tammy Abraham, who made a perfect corresponding run. And so it went for the ensuing 10 to 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the ball drifted wide as it swept across the six-yard box, leaving Pellegrini no other option than a desperate stretched effort that had little chance of beating the keeper. With Paulo Dybala, Tammy Abraham, Nicolo Zaniolo, and club captain Lorenzo Pellegrini each starting from the word go, Roma had more than enough firepower to quell Cremonese.
