Roma opened the scoring in the 17th minute thanks to a goal from their Argentinian international Matias Soulé with a shot from 18 meters. After a goal refused by the VAR for a millimeter offside at the end of the first period, Rome then made the break in five minutes, thanks to its Irishman Evan Fergusonat the conclusion of a school triangle action in the area (2-0, 64th), and to the Brazilian Wesley Francelaunched in depth on a counter (3-0, 69th). La Cremonese saved the honor in added time (3-1, 90th + 3), for only the 6th goal conceded by Roma in 12 days.
First, the team of Gian Piero Gasperini has 27 points, two more than AC Milan and Naples (25 pts), themselves closely followed by Inter and Bologna (4th and 5th, 24 pts). “I said yesterday that we were right to dream about these places, even if dreams rarely come true. We’ll try to extend this dream a little longer“, said Gasperini, who arrived last summer in Rome after nine seasons at the helm of Atalanta Bergamo.
