"The home side did not take long to open the deadlock, with a mistimed header at the back setting Matias Soule through on goal after 14 minutes, and he made no mistake with a curling finish beyond Daniele Sommariva. Roma scored a second just five minutes later, as Manu Kone burst from midfield and found the net with a side-footed effort, after fine play by Evan Ferguson in the build-up."
"Data Debrief: A night to forget for De Rossi This was the first time that Roma legend De Rossi had gone up against his former club, and he saw his team lose a third straight game. Genoa were their own worst enemies, and they managed just two shots on target, registering 0.93 expected goals. They also continued their terrible record against Roma, with this latest defeat leaving them with just one victory from their last 21 Serie A meetings against the Giallorossi."
Roma secured a 3-1 victory over Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to a dominant first half that produced three goals by the 31st minute. Matias Soule opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a curling finish, Manu Kone added a second five minutes later and Evan Ferguson made it 3-0 with a close-range finish. Genoa improved after halftime and Jeff Ekhator pulled a late deflected volley back. Daniele De Rossi endured a disappointing return as Genoa lost a third straight match. Genoa managed just two shots on target and registered 0.93 expected goals, while Kone completed 91.9% of his passes and scored his first league goal since December 7, 2024.
