Match Analysis

Roma chalked up a significant away win by defeating Torino 2-0 during the 21st round of Serie A. The result proved particularly meaningful for the visitors, coming just days after being knocked out of the Italian Cup by the same opposition.

Donyell Malen, a recent acquisition from Aston Villa, made an immediate impact for the “Wolves”. The Dutch forward’s early strike in the 23rd minute was dismissed, but only three minutes later he found the net again – this time his goal counted, putting Roma ahead following a Paulo Dybala assist.
