Serie A: Roma only need Wesley's goal, Como suffers second consecutive defeat

Roma-Como 1-0

Serie A: Roma only need Wesley's goal, while Como suffer their second consecutive defeat.

Roma regained their momentum and returned to the league table. In the final late game of Serie A's 15th matchday, the Giallorossi narrowly defeated Como at the Stadio Olimpico, winning 1-0 thanks to Wesley's decisive goal. It was a significant victory for Gasperini's team, which puts two consecutive defeats behind them and consolidates fourth place in the table, reviving their Champions League ambitions.

Roma-Como 1-0

Roma took control of the match. The Romans controlled possession and attempted to capitalize on Fabregas' Como's numerous uncertainties in the build-up phase, with the Giallorossi frequently coming out. Their territorial dominance was evident, with the Giallorossi creating several interesting opportunities, but the first half lacked a truly incisive play to break the deadlock.

The turning point came at the start of the second half. After continuing to push with intensity, the home team found the deserved lead: Soulé served a perfect ball into the area for Wesley, who beats Butez with a cross-field shot. Como tries to react, especially with Posch, who, however, doesn't trouble Svilar. Roma manages the result in the final minutes without too much difficulty and secures a crucial victory. Ends 1-0.

Como thus suffered their second consecutive defeat after their tough defeat at San Siro, a defeat that moves Fabregas's team further out of the Champions League zone, now six points behind. On the other side, Roma put aside their stumbles against Napoli and Cagliari and are now looking ahead to next Saturday's match against Juventus with confidence.
