Simeone's Solo Strike Seals Torino's 1-0 Win at Roma

The result halts Roma's bright start just before the derby with Lazio.

Overview

  • Giovanni Simeone scored in the 71st minute after a driving run and one-two with Ciryl Ngonge, beating goalkeeper Mile Svilar at the near post.
  • Torino earned its first league victory of the season and celebrated a first win at the Stadio Olimpico against Roma in roughly five years.
  • Roma, coached by Gian Piero Gasperini, labored despite starting Matías Soulé and Paulo Dybala and failed to find a response after multiple second-half changes.
  • Svilar denied late chances for Zakaria Aboukhlal and Nikola Vlasic, while Torino keeper Franco Israel preserved the lead with a stoppage-time save from Niccolò Pisilli.
  • Simeone, who joined from Napoli in August in a deal reported near €5 million, opened his Torino account and moved to 74 Serie A goals across six clubs.
