How did experts evaluate Shomurodov's performance yesterday?

Roma had a challenging match against Verona in the 33rd round of Serie A. Before this match, Artem Dovbyk was reported to have a minor issue with his left knee, prompting coach Claudio Ranieri to start Eldor Shomurodov from the first minutes.

Experts highlighted that the Uzbek striker is making the most of every opportunity given by his coach. This was also the case in the match against Verona.

Eldor scored in just the fourth minute, electrifying the crowd at the Olimpico Stadium. This very goal ensured Roma's victory and kept alive the Wolves' chances of competing for a UEFA Champions League spot.

Prestigious source tuttomercatoweb.com rated Roma players as follows:

Svilar 6 – Had a relatively quiet first half, with only one notable save from Mosquera’s central shot. Rarely challenged in the second half as well.

Celik 6 – Played an organized game on his wing, providing solid defensive cover throughout the 90 minutes.

Mancini 6 – Dominated the central defense, barely allowing any opportunities to the Verona forwards. Was beaten only once clearly, by Mosquera early in the second half, but no goal resulted from it.

Ndicka 6 – Effectively completed the defensive unit, making good clearances when Verona attempted to press. Overall, an uneventful evening.

Saelemaekers 6 – Had a decent performance on the right flank, without particularly notable actions but also avoiding major errors. From the 70th minute, Dovbyk 6 – Motivated by Ranieri's initial choice to leave him out, entered the game positively and almost made it 2-0.

Koné 6.5 – Did not make standout plays like Cristante, who directly contributed to the goal, but was noticeable in central midfield. Became increasingly active offensively in the second half.

Cristante 6.5 – Among Ranieri's best performers, especially in the first half. Provided solidity in midfield and initiated the action that led to Shomurodov's goal.

Angelino 5.5 – The former Leipzig player's performance was below expectations, having minimal impact in attacking build-ups and struggling defensively against Tchatchoua several times.

Soulé 7 – Maintained excellent form after securing a point for Roma in the derby. Besides assisting Shomurodov's goal, he created several opportunities and was effective in both attacking and defensive phases. Replaced by Rensch in the 82nd minute.

Baldanzi 5 – Mainly operated on the left attacking flank but failed to energize the play as expected. Aside from an off-target shot early in the second half, his contributions were minimal. Replaced by Pisilli (6) in the 63rd minute, who provided fresh energy in midfield for a tense final phase.

Shomurodov 7.5 – Starting in place of Dovbyk, he perfectly utilized his chance, scoring Roma's winning goal in the 4th minute. Although he didn't have many other scoring opportunities, he exerted maximum effort for his teammates throughout his time on the pitch. Played a crucial role in Roma’s late-season Champions League chase. Replaced by El Shaarawy in the 82nd minute.

Claudio Ranieri 6.5 – His team returned to winning ways after draws against Juventus and Lazio. Though the performance was not outstanding, the victory was deserved and essential, keeping hopes alive for Champions League qualification. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
