The Argentine forward cut inside before going back outside and easily past a Verona defender. From here, he lofted the ball over Lorenzo Montipò, where Shomurodov was to get ahead of two defenders and poke the ball into the net.

Claudio Ranieri might have expected to kick on but Verona defended resolutely throughout in what was quite an even game.

However, the Gialloblu struggled themselves to make many chances of note, and the hosts were comfortable in most part.
