As the night wore on, the Roma Legionnaires staged a thrilling Serie A showdown in the early hours of Monday morning (29th), ultimately drawing 2-2 to temporarily lead the Bori, keeping a one-game point difference with Atalanta, and a two-point difference in fifth place in the table, as the race for UEFA qualification intensifies. In a thrilling game, Roma's scoring hero Tammy Abakian ended a year-long goal drought with a late save in the dying stages of the game in the penultimate two minutes of the match. The England striker described the goal as a dream come true.
Paul Debana gained a 12-yard advantage in the 59th minute of the game, however, after leading Bori for five minutes, his advantage was canceled out by a goal from Mateus Olivara. Immediately after, Vitor Osenhan scored a crucial goal in the 84th minute penalty shootout to put the game out of reach. Just when everyone thought Roma would drop three points, Tammy Abakian equalized for Roma with a header in the last two minutes before the end of the game, 2-2.
Tammy Abakian is finally back in action after a long layoff due to a serious ACL injury. In the six matches since April 30 last year, he failed to score until today's match to break his goal drought. Talking about the year of waiting, Tammy Abakian said, "I have been dreaming of returning to the field since the beginning of the season. After a serious injury, I tried to prepare myself physically and mentally. Scoring a goal feels like a dream. I will celebrate with my teammates and family and devote myself to preparing for the next game.
