"Roma suffered a 1-0 defeat at Cagliari, with a second-half red card for Mehmet Celik leaving them vulnerable before Gianluca Gaetano's late winner. The loss denied Roma the chance to narrow the gap to the Serie A leaders, Inter, leaving them fourth on 27 points. Inter are on 30 points after their 4-0 win over Como on Saturday, a total that could be overhauled by Napoli in their evening game against Juventus, and by Milan at Torino on Monday."
"Their search for a breakthrough grew even more difficult early in the second half, as Celik was dismissed seven minutes after the restart for bringing down Michael Folorunsho just outside the box. Shortly after, Cagliari came close to scoring as the Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar blocked Adam Obert's close-range effort. Roma's priority in the latter stages appeared to be securing a point,"
Roma suffered a 1-0 defeat at Cagliari after Gianluca Gaetano scored a late winner. Mehmet Celik was dismissed seven minutes into the second half for bringing down Michael Folorunsho just outside the box, reducing Roma to ten men. The first half yielded few clear chances and Roma grew visibly frustrated. Mile Svilar produced a close-range save to deny Adam Obert shortly after the red card. Tempers flared with brief scuffles late in the match as Cagliari continued to press. The defeat left Roma fourth on 27 points while Inter sit on 30, with Napoli and Milan able to alter the standings.
