AS Roma Secures 3-0 Victory Over Sassuolo, Climbs to Second in Serie A
ROME: AS Roma solidified their position in the Serie A standings with a commanding 3-0 victory over struggling Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday, showcasing their title aspirations as the league’s highest-scoring team.
The win propelled Roma to 27 points, maintaining their unbeaten start to the season and placing them just one point behind leaders Lazio, who are the only other team in Serie A yet to lose this season. Inter Milan trails Roma by two points, setting the stage for a competitive title race.
With Lazio set to face Napoli and Inter hosting fourth-placed Como on Sunday, the pressure is on for Roma to keep pace at the top of the table. The match against Sassuolo saw Roma take control early, with defender Mario Hermoso breaking the deadlock in the 27th minute, followed by an own goal from Sebastian Walukiewicz just three minutes later.
Looking ahead, Roma will aim to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next fixtures, while Sassuolo must regroup quickly to address their defensive vulnerabilities.
