AS Roma maintained their flawless start to the domestic season with an impressive 2-0 victory over Torino at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino. Goals from Donyell Malen and Niccolò Pisilli secured another three points for the Giallorossi, extending their remarkable winning streak to nine consecutive Serie A matches stretching back to last season.
The victory sends Roma back to the top of the Serie A table and keeps them firmly on course to challenge a club record of 11 successive league wins.
Malen Leads Roma’s Early Charge
Roma arrived in Turin full of confidence and immediately put the hosts under pressure.
Donyell Malen was at the center of the action, initially heading wide after a cross deceived goalkeeper Lucas Perri. Matías Soulé and Bryan Cristante also went close, while Malen briefly thought he had opened the scoring before his effort was ruled out for offside.
Torino gradually found their rhythm, with Eray Cömert firing over and Rolando Mandragora forcing Mile Svilar into action.
But Roma’s attacking pressure eventually proved too much.
After Torino failed to clear their lines, Malen reacted quickly when his initial attempt was parried, sliding home the rebound to give Roma a deserved 1-0 lead.
Remarkably, it was the ninth consecutive Serie A appearance in which Malen had broken the deadlock.
Torino Test Svilar After the Break
Roma continued pushing after half-time, with Nahuel Molina narrowly missing the target as the visitors searched for a second goal.
The complexion of the match changed slightly when Malen was substituted before the hour mark. Torino became more adventurous, and Giovanni Simeone twice tested Svilar as the hosts searched for an equalizer.
Mandragora also threatened from a free-kick, but Roma’s goalkeeper remained composed to preserve the advantage.
With Torino committing more players forward, spaces began opening at the opposite end. Molina unleashed a powerful effort that Perri brilliantly stopped before the goalkeeper produced another excellent save to deny Gianluca Mancini’s close-range header.
Pisilli Seals Victory in Stoppage Time
Torino’s resistance finally ended in stoppage time.
A loose ball inside the penalty area fell invitingly to Niccolò Pisilli, who reacted quickest and poked it beyond Perri to make it 2-0, ending any remaining hopes of a Torino comeback.
The late goal provided the perfect finish to another controlled Roma performance.
Roma’s Serie A Winning Streak Continues
Roma’s latest victory underlines their excellent start to the campaign. The Giallorossi have won every domestic match so far and have now recorded nine consecutive Serie A victories across two seasons.
They also return to the summit of the table while moving within touching distance of a club-record run of 11 straight league victories.
Torino, meanwhile, is heading in the opposite direction. Il Toro have now suffered four defeats in their last five matches, while their failure to keep a clean sheet has stretched to nine consecutive Serie A games.
What the Result Means
Roma’s mix of attacking quality and defensive resilience is quickly establishing them as a team to watch in this season’s Serie A title race. Malen continues to provide a decisive attacking presence, while Svilar’s saves show the Giallorossi can also withstand pressure when needed.
For Torino, defensive improvement must become an immediate priority. Their inability to shut opponents out is increasingly proving costly.
