In Stats: 10 numbers from Spezia defeat

1

Daniel Fuzato’s appearance in extra-time was his first of the season and the Brazilian 23-year-old’s second in total for the Giallorossi.

2

This was only the second-ever meeting between these two teams ahead of Sunday’s first Serie A encounter in their history, which Spezia will now take a 100 percent record into having also beaten Roma - via extra-time and a 4-2 win on penalties - when they first played each other in the cup back in 2015.

3

This is just the third time in 20 years that Roma have exited the Coppa Italia as early as the last-16 of the competition, with Spezia (twice) and Torino the only teams to knock them out at this stage during that time.

4

His first-half conversion from 12-yards was Lorenzo Pellegrini’s 14th goal in all competitions as a Roma player and fourth in 2020-21, which already equals his best single season return - from 2018-19 - in front of goal for the Giallorossi.

7

Roma have now successfully converted all seven of their penalties that the Giallorossi have been awarded this term, with Jordan Veretout contributing five, and both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and now Pellegrini adding one more each.

12

Marash Kumbulla - starting his first match in 2021 - made 12 recoveries in the match, more than any other player on the pitch.

20

Mkhitaryan has been directly involved in 20 goals in all competitions this term, contributing 10 goals and 10 more assists across his 24 combined appearances in Serie A, Europa League and Coppa Italia.

43

There were just 43 seconds between Pau Lopez (90:53) and Gianluca Mancini (91:36) being shown respective red cards in extra-time.

369

Pellegrini’s penalty took his spot-kick record as a Roma player to two-from-two, adding to his other success from 12-yards in the 2-0 Coppa Italia win over Parma in the same stage of last year’s competition 369 days ago.

2017

This was Roma’s first home defeat in the Coppa Italia since Torino claimed a 2-1 victory at the Olimpico in December 2017.
