Pisilli said afterwards: “Being able to make my debut for Italy is a childhood dream come true and to do it in Rome is even more incredible, as I had family and friends in the stands.
“It was a delicate moment of the match, I am glad to have helped us take home the point. It is a very high level here and I am trying to learn as much as I can from everyone."
Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini was sent off just before half-time, with the hosts 2-0 ahead.
Pisilli added, “Lorenzo was disappointed by everything that happened, but he is a great player and this one incident doesn’t change what he can give or the man he is.”
