Match Report

Roma dismantled Lecce with a devastating first-half display, racing to a 3-0 lead inside 25 minutes. Donyell Malen was the architect of the early damage, opening the scoring in the fourth minute before doubling Roma's advantage on 23 minutes, despite picking up a yellow card in between. Matías Soulé added a third just two minutes later to put the contest beyond doubt before the break.

The second half was largely a matter of game management, with both sides making multiple substitutions. Rodrigo Mora added a fourth goal on 65 minutes to complete the scoring, rounding off a thoroughly comfortable evening for the visitors. Lecce's 65% share of possession offered little consolation, as Roma's clinical edge was reflected in an expected goals figure of just 0.74 for the hosts against Roma's 3.25.

The result was Roma's second consecutive Serie A victory, and a convincing one at that. Our pre-match AI model had rated an AS Roma win as the most likely outcome at 61%, a call that proved well-founded given how emphatically the match unfolded.
