Roma coach Luis Enrique has said that the scoreline in his side's 3-0 Coppa Italia defeat to Juventus on Tuesday night does not reflect what happened on the pitch.

The Italian capital club found themselves down 2-0 at half-time following goals from Emanuele Giaccherini and Alessandro Del Piero, before Erik Lamela's sending off and Simon Kjaer's own-goal put the match to bed.

"We made some mistakes in their first goal, and in the second one
Alessandro Del Piero had a great finish," Luis Enrique told Rai.

"The result is very hard on us, but we must continue to work because we are on the right track.


"We were not inferior to Juventus, but details make the difference. We made things harder for ourselves by allowing them to send through balls for the first two goals."
