AS Roma – Atalanta

Roma kept their flawless start to the campaign alive with a hard‑fought 2‑1 win over Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico, extending their lead at the top of Serie A to 12 points from four straight victories. The hosts’ defensive solidity was evident, conceding only once while maintaining a dominant 12‑1 goal difference, whereas Atalanta’s defence remained porous, their tally slipping to a 5‑5 season balance. The result also reinforced Roma’s superiority in the head‑to‑head this season, having already secured the sole win in their two‑match encounter. Meanwhile, Atalanta lingered in 11th place with six points, still searching for consistency after two defeats in four games.
