On March 13, the second leg matches of the Europa League Round of 16 took place. In one of them, Athletic Bilbao hosted Roma at home. The hosts achieved a victory with a score of 3:1. In the starting lineup of the “wolves,” forward Artem Dovbik played, who did not have any notable actions and was substituted in the 53rd minute.
Artem DovbikAfter the match, journalists from the Italian publication Tuttomercatoweb evaluated the Ukrainian striker's performance. They noted his work ethic, but criticized him for inefficiency.
“He always gives his all on the football field, even when the team plays with ten men. In the Europa League match, the Ukrainian’s game is one that you want to forget — he cannot get a hold of the ball ahead, so his partners have a bit of time to rest. Dovbik has enormous difficulties during aerial duels. It was a tough evening for the Ukrainian — there is no fire, no energy, no shots,” the report states.
It should be noted that this season Dovbik has played 37 matches for Roma, in which he scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists.
The “wolves” will play their next game in the Italian championship on March 16 against Cagliari.
