The Giallorossi were already 2-0 up - one of those goals courtesy of Dzeko - when Juan Jesus was sent off early in the second half, and a penalty awarded to the visitors.
But Alisson made a vital stop to repel Roberto Inglese's attempt - and Roma went on to score twice more in a comfortable eventual win.
“Credit goes to Alisson for saving the penalty – if they had scored then the game could have ended up going very differently," Dzeko said.
"It was a huge save, very important for the team.”
