Roma beat Slovacko 1-0 thanks to an Umar Sadiq strike, but there were protest banners insulting President Jim Pallotta.

It took until the 77th minute to break the deadlock, as Bruno Peres burst into the box with a give-and-go to set up Sadiq’s finish at the near post.

This was the second pre-season friendly at the Pinzolo training camp and they hosted Czech Republic top flight club Slovacko.

The match was somewhat overshadowed by a series of banners from the 600 fans present, all aimed at the club and President Pallotta.

Another read ‘Pallotta do us a favour, become Romanista.’

It was also a surprisingly ill-tempered friendly with Gerson’s late tackle sparking a scuffle.
