AS Roma beat Torino 0-2 in Serie A, taking the lead through D. Malen late in the first half and adding a second from N. Pisilli in the 90th minute. Once the visitors were in front, the home side never found a way back.

Match Summary

There was no early burst of scoring. Torino had more of the ball through the first half, but AS Roma were the side that broke through. D. Malen had the visitors in front after 40 minutes, and they took that lead into the interval.

Torino's response after the restart never quite arrived. The hosts still needed a goal and could not find one. M. Hermoso was shown a yellow card in the 61st minute, and N. Pisilli was booked in the 72nd. The late twist belonged to AS Roma as well. N. Pisilli scored in the 90th minute, and the match finished 0-2.

Key Moments

The timing of AS Roma's opener shaped the rest of the night. Torino went into the break behind, so the second half became a chase rather than a shared search for a first goal.

That deficit never looked likely to be overturned on the numbers. AS Roma created far more shots and a much higher expected-goals total, which is why a single-goal lead already felt like a platform.

A finish at the very end of normal time ended any chance of a late home rally. Two yellow cards for the away side, and none for Torino, never shifted the balance of the contest.

Match Statistics

Possession finished 52 percent to 48 in Torino's favour, yet AS Roma were well ahead on almost every attacking measure. The visitors outshot the hosts 14 to 6 and 5 to 3 on target, and the expected-goals tally of 2.11 to 0.74 matched the scoreline. AS Roma also forced 8 corners to Torino's 1. Discipline was quiet: two yellow cards for AS Roma, none for Torino, and no red cards.

What the Result Means

AS Roma are second in Serie A with 9 points from 3 matches and a goal difference of 9, three wins in their last three. Torino sit 14th with 3 points from 3 matches and a goal difference of -1, one win and two losses in their last three. The result leaves the sides 6 points apart.
