Roma secured a 1-0 victory at the Olimpico, reclaiming vital three points in the league.
Matias Soulé stood out as one of the top performers, providing the assist for Wesley’s decisive goal.
After the match, Gasperini remarked, “Soulé played exceptionally well, but it’s difficult to rate any individual tonight. Both teams contributed to a compelling match as they both sought victory. We executed our game plan effectively because Como’s fast pace can be punishing; we maintained our precision. It was our best home performance in front of our supporters.”

The Giallorossi have only conceded eight goals in 15 league matches. In an interview with DAZN, the Roma coach stated, “We’ve built a solid foundation from the beginning, which is our strength. Recently, we’ve also been creating numerous opportunities, even more so than Como did tonight. The result could have been even more convincing. The team displayed great quality throughout.”
The win against Como solidifies Roma’s position in fourth place. Gasperini, however, remains composed and refrains from setting specific goals: “Am I optimistic about finishing in fourth? I’m always cautious, but I’d be pleased with that result. There are no limits to what we can achieve. More than focusing on the final outcome, I value the experience of playing these types of matches. The crowd support is incredible, and it motivates us: it’s a wonderful feeling. This should be our focus; the results will follow.”
In closing, the coach commended his squad: “These players give their all. Unlike some stronger sides, they may not always have the same level of dedication and commitment. We are a solid team now, and while there’s room for improvement, facing us is a challenge for anyone.”
