Roma Primavera suffered a setback at home against Hellas Verona. The Giallorossi were aiming for a win to catch up with second-place Inter, while Verona were chasing points to escape the play-off zone. However, the match ended 1-1 after 90 minutes.
In the 12th minute, Giacomo Arduini , a true predator in the penalty area, anticipated everyone and scored the goal that temporarily put the team ahead. It was in vain, however, as Lorenzo Garofalo equalized in the 48th minute. Mattia Scala's men remain fifth, four points behind first place.
