Overview

  • Artem Dovbyk headed the opener in the 7th minute and Matías Soulé added a late second to secure Roma’s win at the Stadio Olimpico.
  • Goalkeeper Mile Svilar produced crucial stops, including a point-blank save with his face, to preserve the clean sheet.
  • Verona missed clear chances as Gift Orban hit the crossbar from close range and had a stoppage-time goal ruled out for handball.
  • Roma have conceded just one goal in five Serie A matches and sit second on 12 points, level with Napoli ahead of the champions’ trip to Milan.
