AS Roma beat Lecce 4-0 in Serie A, running away with the contest after a first-half burst that left the hosts with no way back. D. Malen scored twice as the visitors turned an early lead into a four-goal win.

Match Summary

Roma set the tone from the start. D. Malen had them in front after four minutes, and although he was booked five minutes later the visitors did not ease off. Wesley Franca provided the assist when Malen scored again in the 23rd minute, and M. Soule added a third in the 25th. That burst left Lecce three down at the break.

The second half followed the same pattern. G. Mancini set up R. Mora just after the hour, and Roma's fourth made the official 0-4 scoreline look settled. Lecce never found a way through. I. Ilic was shown a yellow in the 90th minute as the match wound down, with D. Chiffi in charge at Stadio Via del Mare.

Going in front so early forced Lecce to chase and let Roma dictate. The yellow card for D. Malen did not change the flow. The first-half scoring burst, two more goals in a two-minute spell, turned a lead into a three-goal cushion and ended the match as a genuine contest. The fourth after the hour, from G. Mancini's assist, took away any late hope. Roma's control of possession and the shot count made a comeback look unlikely from a long way out.
