This significant win is a cause for celebration among Roma fans as they aim to ascend the standings. Roma takes the lead in the seventh minute. Neil El Aynaoui found the net with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom left corner, assisted by Zeki Çelik's cross.

In the 83rd minute, Stephan El Shaarawy netted a goal with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the center of the goal. He was assisted by Leon Bailey.
