Roma faced significant challenges despite their recent success under new coach Ivan Jurić, who has led the team to two consecutive league victories. In a match against promoted Venezia on Sunday, Roma initially fell behind when Venezia's Joel Pohjanpalo scored just before halftime. The home crowd expressed their frustration as Roma struggled to find their rhythm. However, the tide turned in the second half when Bryan Cristante's deflected shot equalized for Roma. Niccolò Pisilli, a homegrown talent who recently celebrated his 20th birthday, scored the winning goal with a header from a corner kick. This victory marked a crucial moment for Roma, who had previously faced protests from fans and a disappointing draw in the Europa League. Meanwhile, Torino suffered their first league defeat of the season against Lazio, highlighting the competitive nature of the league as teams vie for top positions.
