Shomurodov saves Roma again: “Scoring once against Juventus is nice, but two would’ve been amazing!”

A dramatic evening unfolded at the Stadio Olimpico as Roma faced Juventus in one of the most anticipated matches of Serie A’s 31st round. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, and once again, Uzbek striker Eldor Shomurodov emerged as Roma’s hero.

Coming off the bench early in the second half, Shomurodov wasted no time. Just four minutes after entering the pitch, in the 49th minute, he found the back of the net to equalize and rescue a crucial point for the Giallorossi.

Speaking to DAZN after the match, Eldor shared his thoughts:

“Before coming on, coach Ranieri told me to support Dovbyk in attack. We started the second half well, but unfortunately, we couldn’t grab the win. We had chances to score a second. Still, one point against Juventus is not a bad result.”

Shomurodov admitted he was happy with the goal but felt he could’ve done even more:

“Of course, I’m happy. But if I had managed to score a brace, that would’ve been even better.”

The 29-year-old striker also commented on the upcoming Rome derby:

“We need to prepare well and keep building on what we’ve achieved so far. The most important thing is to make our fans happy.”

By the numbers: This season, Eldor Shomurodov has made 30 appearances for Roma across all competitions, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists. He consistently brings impact — even when coming off the bench.

Shomurodov’s goal wasn’t a fluke — it was a product of skill, determination, and timing. He’s proving to be Roma’s spark in key moments, and fans will be hoping for more magic in the upcoming derby. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
