Roma 4-0 Virtus Entella: Schick helps secure quarter-final spot


Roma booked a quarter-final clash against Fiorentina on Monday night, after a comfortable and clinical 4-0 win over Virtus Entella at the Stadio Olimpico.

Patrik Schick opened the goalscoring after just 23 minutes on the night, as he flicked home brilliantly from Cengiz Under's low cross. But it wasn't until Ivan Marcano slotted home - this time from a Schick backheel assist - on the stroke of half-time that the game really looked comfortable.

Schick then added his second of the game with a brilliant first-time finish just two minutes into the second half - and what little doubt there may have been was finally erased when Javier Pastore broke through the defence to slot home.

Robin Olsen made a number of impressive saves over the 90 minutes but it was undoubtedly Entella's Andrea Paroni that was the busier man - the goalkeeper making a number of important stops to keep the scoreline down.

There was further late cheer for the 20,000 Giallorossi fans in attendance on the night - as they saw 17-year-old academy graduate Alessio Riccardi make his debut for the club. Riccardi nearly scored with a somewhat misjudged deep cross - which would have been some introduction to senior football.

Roma now move onto the quarter-finals - where they will face Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
