It's not clear of Jose Enrique's system is finally producing results, Cesena is terrible at football, or some combination of the two, but AS Roma ran all over their opponents on Saturday, destroying them 5-1. The fact that Cesena were able to find that one goal is truly astonishing, considering that the entire game was played in their half. Roma had 75 percent possession and the 5-1 score is flattering to the visitors.
AS Roma Vs. Cesena, 2012 Serie A: Giallorossi Run Riot
Roma had three goals in the first nine minutes, two of them scored by the legendary Francesco Totti. The Italian linked up with playmaker Erik Lamela twice, scoring his 210th and 211th goals in Serie A in the 1st and 8th minutes. Fabio Borini added another in the 9th minute, right after the kickoff. The Giallorossi let off the gas at that point and went into halftime up 3-1.
The home side was content to sit on their lead, but Citadin Eder netted for the visitors in the 58th minute. That seemed to piss off Roma just a bit, and they went on to score two more goals in the next 12 minutes simply because they could, pushing the score to 5-1. If Enrique and his team weren’t so nice, this probably could have been something like 8-0.
