He played the entire 90 minutes of the game but only managed two shots on goal, both of which were blocked by the Roman defence. Hojlund also did not complete any key passes or successful dribble attempts during the match. He was also poor in his duels, winning just two of his seven ground contests. The striker did slightly better in the air, coming out on top in two of his four aerial duels. Hojlund will next face his former club Atalanta on Sunday in Serie A.
