In the match against Braga, Abdulhamid delivered a beautiful performance, even scoring a goal.

Roma may not be fully healed yet, but the Ranieri treatment is at least working, as reported by Tuttosport. The most indicative thermometer is the audience, which has returned to applaud the team before, during and after the 3-0 victory over Braga last night. Not only does this victory rekindle the hopes of playing their cards to try and re-enter the top eight of the rankings and thus avoiding the playoffs. Meanwhile, everyone is reaping the benefits of Dr. Ranieri’s management, Lorenzo Pellegrini included. Left out in the last three games against Tottenham, Atalanta, and Lecce, the Yellow-Reds captain has returned to the starting lineup with a smile. Closing the game are Abdulhamid, who is the first Saudi to score in Europe, Hermoso, and the expulsion of Matheus in the second half. But the real protagonist of the first half is the yellow and red captain who, after 11 minutes, capitalizes on Zalewski’s move to score the 1-0 with his right foot. At the half, the deficit is razor-thin for Roma, who continues to generate plays and dangers towards Matheus’ goal. In the second half, a calculated change with the Dovbyk-Dybala relay and not even two minutes later, from the Ukrainian center-forward’s feet begins the 2-0 action led by Koné and finished by Abdulhamid, who runs to celebrate under the South end. The 3-0 victory for Mancini was revoked due to a previous offside position, whilst the hat-trick was secured by Hermoso in the closing minutes after missed scoring opportunities from Hummels, Soulé, El Shaarawy, Pisilli, and Dovbyk.
