Roma held 0-0 by Chievo

Xinhua,December 10, 2017 Adjust font size:

ROME, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Roma stayed fourth in the table after drawing 0-0 with Chievo on Sunday.

Roma had 24 shots and over two-thirds of possession but when they did manage to find the target they found Sorrentino, Chievo's goalkeeper, unbeatable.

The 38-year-old keeper bravely saved close-range efforts from the returning Patrik Schick and Gerson, who gave way to Edin Dzeko as Roma pressed harder, but to no avail, in the second half.

Sorrentino was also crucial on efforts from Maxime Gonalons, Aleksandar Kolarov and when a defender deflected Schick's shot.

Roma can be caught by Lazio, who are fifth on 32 points and host Torino on Monday night. Chievo moved up to 10th on 21 points following the draw. Enditem
