Roma were a little lucky with the equalizing goal scored by Diego Llorente at the end of the match which made the score even.
Overall Roma's performance was quite impressive in this match, whatever the final result they got, but in my opinion this is a fair result for Roma because it is not easy for them to play at Fiorentina's home ground and Fiorentin is one of the top teams in Serie A. A team , of course it is not easy to play to beat them.
This week, Bologna, who is in 4th place, also suffered a defeat, so Roma have slightly reduced the points gap from Bologna, making the competition for 4th place even more interesting.
I see Roma's performance increasing and I am quite optimistic that they can fulfill their target, namely finishing in the top 4 of the final Serie A standings.
About Roma and this game, that's much that's just being lucky. In fact, they have had good performances since De Rossi started working at Roma and his performance even made the fans happy to see their team get good results in the Serie A games which can even put Roma to be in a better place at the table if they can continue this good performance in the next games.
But in the game between Roma and Fiorentina, Roma was really lucky to get a draw in this match because Fiorentina had many more gaol opportunities than Roma, especially in the first half of the game when Roma was totally shocked by the good performance by Fiorentina.
It cannot be denied that while under the control of coach De Rossi, Roma were able to perform well and show much more consistent performance. Roma also managed to get consecutive wins in Serie A matches before today being drawn by Fiorentina.
In terms of standings, it is clear that Roma have much better ranking at the moment because they have also won several times which gives them full points.
There is still chance for Roma to continue to win and finish this season competition with much better ranking, but it really has to be based on consistency and good performance to keep winning.
Maybe Roma will not be able to become runners-up or occupy the top 3 positions, but finishing the competition in the top 4 is much better considering that Roma also experienced several bad conditions this season which made them slump bit.
In the future, Roma will only face team that can be said to be not very strong and this is golden opportunity for Roma to achieve victory with much better opportunities.
Roma will first face Brighton for the second leg of the Europa League, this is an away match but Roma has an aggregate advantage of 4 points so for this match they don't need to win because draw can take Roma to the next round.
