Wesley Franca Gives Roma 1-0 Win Over Como to Keep Pace in Serie A

A disciplined clean sheet keeps Roma fourth on 30 points, three off Inter.

Overview

  • Wesley Franca struck on the hour from a Matías Soulé layoff to seal a 1-0 win at the Olimpico.
  • Roma move to 30 points in fourth place, three behind leaders Inter, with Como seventh on 24.
  • Gian Piero Gasperini hailed Roma’s best home display of the season as their league-best defense reached eight conceded in 15 games.
  • Cesc Fàbregas deployed Nico Paz as a false nine because of absences, with Roma starting Evan Ferguson and Soulé after suspensions, injuries and AFCON call-ups shaped both lineups.
  • Como winger Assane Diao limped off with a muscular issue that places his AFCON availability in doubt, and post‑match tensions between Gianluca Mancini and Jacobo Ramón were later downplayed by both sides.
