Roma secured a crushing 3-0 victory over visiting Sassuolo on Saturday at the Olympic Stadium, in the eleventh round of the Italian football league, continuing their chase for the top spot.
The capital city team increased their tally to 27 points, narrowing the gap to one point with leaders Lazio, who play away against Napoli on Sunday. Meanwhile, Sassuolo remained on 8 points, dropping to seventeenth place.
Roma's Goals
Roma imposed their dominance from the opening minutes and nearly opened the scoring in the 12th minute through a header by Leonardo Paredes, but defender Duje Caleta-Car cleared it. Mario Hermoso managed to put them ahead in the 27th minute with a powerful shot, then added the second goal three minutes later when Sebastiano Luperto inadvertently turned Donnell Malin's shot into his own net.
Securing the Match
Roma continued their pressure in the second half, and Malin missed a chance in the 48th minute. Portuguese player Rodrigo Mora sealed the match with a third goal in the 58th minute, after receiving a pass from Malin and striking it with his right foot, earning Roma three valuable points and securing their fifth consecutive victory against Sassuolo.
