In the second half Di Francesco opted to make wholesale changes, with Gerson the only player to continue the match (the Brazilian eventually being substituted with around 60 minutes gone).

Stefano Ciavattini found the net in impressive fashion shortly after the restart, but that would turn out to be the last goal of the game as, despite almost constant pressure from the Serie A side, their hosts for the day proved determined defenders.

The Giallorossi are next in competitive action on Friday, as they face Czech side FC Slovacko.
