The Derby della Capitale has once again seen AS Roma take the upper hand, claiming the bragging rights in Rome! On Sunday, January 5, 2025, Roma secured a victory over Lazio during Serie A Week 19 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. This win marked a significant turnaround for Roma, who had been struggling with three matches without a win or a goal (1 draw, 2 losses) prior to this match.
In addition, the Giallorossi have impressively kept a clean sheet in their last two encounters with the Biancocelesti in this league. This achievement also marks the first time since 1967 that they have recorded three consecutive clean sheets against Lazio.
The action unfolded in the first half, with Roma taking the lead thanks to goals from Captain Lorenzo Pellegrini and Saelemakers, followed by a second half focused on defense. Meanwhile, Lazio struggled to find their footing and couldn’t mount a comeback. The white and blues fell short, while the yellow and reds celebrated their resurgence. Looking ahead, Lazio will take on Como in their next match, while Roma is set to face Bologna.
The action …
Roma struck first in the 10th minute with a fantastic goal from Lorenzo Pellegrini! The Giallorossi are in the lead after Pellegrini delivered a stunning shot. The number 7 skillfully gathered the ball at the edge of the box and curled it beautifully past the helpless goalkeeper, Ivan Provedel.

What a whirlwind for Lazio! The Roman gladiators struck again in the 18th minute with a goal from Alexis Saelemakers! It was an incredible play by Roma, featuring Dovbyk and Dybala near the box. Dybala set up Saelemakers, who charged in and took a shot with his right foot. Provedel made the initial save, but the Belgian was quick to pounce on the rebound and found the back of the net, extending their lead. Ouch! Roma fans are definitely celebrating!
