Simeone Stunner Seals Torino’s 1-0 Upset at Roma
The 30-year-old’s 59th-minute curler was his first Serie A goal in over a year following his move from Napoli.
Overview
- Simeone initiated and finished the decisive move, beating Manu Koné, exchanging a one-two with Cyril Ngonge, and curling into the top corner in the 59th minute.
- The victory marked Torino’s first under new coach Marco Baroni and ended Roma’s perfect start under Gian Piero Gasperini.
- Roma conceded their first goal of the season in the defeat at the Stadio Olimpico.
- Gasperini’s reshaped attack, including a more advanced start for Paulo Dybala and halftime striker changes, failed to produce a breakthrough.
- Simeone, who last scored in Serie A in August 2024, joined Torino from reigning champion Napoli last month.
