"An uneventful first half was followed by a breathless second as Simeone broke the deadlock with a venomous curling effort against the run of play at Stadio Olimpico. Gasperini's side, who had dominated possession, were left chasing the game from there on in as Matias Soule saw a speculative attempt flash past Torino's post. In Roma's attempts to draw level, they left themselves increasingly vulnerable defensively, allowing the visitors to test Mile Svilar in goal with the Serbian shot-stopper making a series of brilliant saves."
"Torino registered their first victory against Roma for the first time in nine attempts, having failed to win any of the last eight, losing six and drawing two. The visitors won just their second league game away at Roma in their last 16 such meetings - with their last away win against them coming back in January 2020. This marked Roma's first defeat at home in Serie A since December, when they were beaten by an Atalanta team coached by Gasperini."
Giovanni Simeone scored a venomous curling strike to give Torino a 1-0 win over Roma at Stadio Olimpico, ending Gian Piero Gasperini's winning start to the 2025-26 campaign. An uneventful first half gave way to a breathless second as Roma dominated possession but could not convert chances. Matias Soule had a speculative attempt that flashed past the post and a late effort that flew agonisingly wide, while Niccolo Pisilli's header was kept out by Franco Israel. Torino registered their first win over Roma in nine attempts, and Roma managed 22 shots and 1.3 expected goals without scoring.
