The 70-thousand-seat stadium in Rome gave a standing ovation to the Ukrainian national team player. Video

Roma's Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk became the main hero of the match of the 1/8 finals of the Italian Cup against Sampdoria (4:1). In the 9th minute, he opened the scoring, successfully playing ahead of the ball after Alexis Saelemaekers' cross. 10 minutes later, Dovbyk scored a double, sending the ball into the empty net after a rebound off the crossbar.

In the 78th minute of the match, Roma head coach Claudio Ranieri decided to replace the Ukrainian, bringing on Eldor Shomurodov instead.

This moment was accompanied by loud applause from the stands.

The 70,000-seat stadium gave Dovbyk a warm send-off, appreciating his contribution to the team's victory.

For the 27-year-old Ukrainian, this was his 21st match for the Romans this season. He has already scored 8 goals and 1 assist. Dovbyk continues to prove his importance to the team and delight Roma fans with his outstanding performances.

Artem scored for the last time on November 3 in the match of the 11th round of Serie A against Verona, which ended with a score of 2-3. Seven matches have passed since then.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, on October 6, Dovbyk scored his fourth goal for Roma in the game against Monza, beating half the team.
