ROME – Edin Dzeko has entered the history of Rome by right. In the defeat of Reggio Emilia, against Sassuolo, he scored the 100th goal with the Giallorossi, in 206 games, taking seventh place in the all-time scorer ranking of the Capitoline team. Only T otti , Pruzzo, Volk, Amadei, Manfredini and Montella did better than him. The next milestone? Overcome the former Fiorentina manager who is only two goals away.
In Reggio Emilia, Dzeko scored the first goal as a new captain of Roma, after Alessandro Florenzi sold on loan to Valencia, Spain. Dzeko hit a post on Smalling's assist, then on the rest of the action he headed the ball, with an empty net, on a cross from Pellegrini's left. Tonight's goal is the thirteenth in the season.
The score of Sassuolo-Roma 4-2, a game that allowed Dzeko to score the 100th goal with the yellow and red jersey.
