Roma Reclaim Serie A Top Spot After Parma Victory

AS Roma secured a 2-1 victory over Parma at the Stadio Olimpico, with goals from Mario Hermoso and Artem Dovbyk, keeping them level on points with Serie A leaders Napoli at 21 points each after nine matches. The match featured a goalless first half, with an initial disallowed Roma goal due to offside, before Hermoso scored from a corner and Dovbyk added a late goal, despite Parma's Alessandro Circati pulling one back near the end. Roma displayed resilience and tactical flexibility, with Paulo Dybala playing a key role, earning player of the match honors for his assist and overall influence. This win marks Roma’s best start since the 2017-2018 season and places them in a strong position as they pursue Champions League qualification. Parma remains in 15th place, showing determination but still facing relegation concerns. Roma’s next challenge is an away match against AC Milan, a crucial fixture for their Champions League ambitions.
