AS Roma maintained their perfect start to the new Serie A season with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Lecce at Via del Mare<\/strong>, extending their winning league run to seven consecutive matches stretching back to last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donyell Malen<\/strong> continued his sensational scoring form with a first-half brace before Mat\u00edas Soul\u00e9<\/strong> added Roma’s third. New signing Rodrigo Mora<\/strong> completed the rout after the break as Gian Piero Gasperini’s side climbed back to the top of the Serie A table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For football fans in Tanzania following Italian football and the early title race, Roma are quickly emerging as one of the teams to watch this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malen Strikes Early for Roma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roma arrived in Lecce full of confidence following their 4-0 demolition of Fiorentina in their Serie A opener, and it took just four minutes for the visitors to make their intentions clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A costly error from Kialonda Gaspar presented Malen with an opportunity, and the Dutch forward made no mistake, calmly finding the net to give Roma an early 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal also delivered an impressive milestone. After scoring a hat-trick against Fiorentina, Malen became the first Roma player since Vincenzo Montella in 2004\/05 to score four goals across the club’s opening two league matches of a season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roma kept pushing forward, with Soul\u00e9 forcing Wladimiro Falcone into a save as Lecce struggled to contain the visitors’ movement and intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malen Brace Puts Lecce Under Pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Malen wasn’t finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midway through the opening half, Wesley Fran\u00e7a picked out the forward at the near post, where Malen squeezed his finish beyond Falcone to make it 2-0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His remarkable start to the campaign has immediately established him as one of Roma’s biggest attacking threats. His pace, positioning and clinical finishing repeatedly caused problems for the Lecce defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than chasing his second consecutive Serie A hat-trick, Malen soon turned provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soul\u00e9 Makes It 3-0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just two minutes after Roma’s second goal, Malen found Soul\u00e9 in a dangerous position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falcone saved Soul\u00e9’s initial attempt, but the Argentine reacted quickest to the rebound and converted to give Roma a commanding 3-0 lead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecce briefly threatened to respond when Willem Geubbels broke through one-on-one, but Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar produced an important save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soul\u00e9 and Malen subsequently went close to extending the advantage before half-time, leaving Lecce fortunate to enter the interval only three goals behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecce Misses Their Chance to Respond<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Roma firmly in control, the visitors naturally reduced their attacking intensity after the restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That allowed Lecce to find a route back into the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lassana Coulibaly came agonizingly close when his header from a corner struck the post. Mario Hermoso then reacted quickly to clear the danger off the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It proved to be Lecce’s best spell of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roma remained capable of producing another goal whenever they attacked, with Paulo Dybala curling an effort over the crossbar from a promising position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodrigo Mora Opens His Roma Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roma eventually found their fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Center-back Gianluca Mancini<\/strong> surged forward before delivering a pass across goal for new signing Rodrigo Mora<\/strong>, who converted a straightforward tap-in to register his first goal for the Giallorossi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strike completed another 4-0 victory<\/strong>, meaning Roma have scored eight goals without conceding across their opening two Serie A fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was another statement performance from a side beginning to generate genuine excitement about what could be possible this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roma Send Early Serie A Title Warning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roma’s latest victory extends their Serie A winning sequence to seven consecutive matches<\/strong>, and they have now also won four successive away league games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their dominance over Lecce continues too, with the Giallorossi recording a fifth consecutive head-to-head victory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, Roma has started the new campaign with two wins, eight goals scored and none conceded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gasperini’s men may still have a long season ahead, but their combination of defensive organization and attacking firepower makes them increasingly difficult to ignore in the Serie A title conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Lecce, the defeat brings them firmly back down to earth. Their hopes of winning the opening two Serie A matches of a season for the first time have ended, and attention must now turn towards producing a response in their next fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lecce 0-4 Roma<\/strong> was another convincing demonstration of Roma’s early-season strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malen once again stole the spotlight with two goals and an assist, while Soul\u00e9 and Mora completed a comprehensive victory. With eight goals scored, two clean sheets and maximum points from their opening two matches<\/strong>, Roma have made an imposing start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The season is still young, but if Gasperini’s side can maintain this combination of ruthless finishing and defensive discipline, the Giallorossi could have a significant role to play in this season’s Serie A title race<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
