The Giallorossi play their second pre-season game of the summer this weekend

AS Roma will continue their pre-season with a friendly against Portimonense on Saturday at the Estadio Municipal de Albufeira in Portugal.

The Giallorossi started their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 defeat of Sunderland on Wednesday, courtesy of late goals from Felix Afena-Gyan and Nicolo Zaniolo. Manager Jose Mourinho had named a strong lineup, and team side dominated the game, keeping more possession and attempting more shots.

However, it wasn't till the 75th minute when the Serie A side found their breakthrough through substitute Afena-Gyan. Five minutes later, Zaniolo, who'd also come off the bench, doubled their advantage to put the game to bed as Roma belled the Black Cats.
