🚨 Juventus come out on top in clash with Roma!

Roma misses the mark.

This Saturday evening featured the weekend's big match in Serie A. As part of the 16th day of the championship, AS Roma traveled to face Juventus.

This encounter held particular significance for these two direct competitors. With a victory, Roma could have widened the gap over their opponent of the evening, in addition to moving closer to the top of the championship.

However, it was the home team that took the lead just before halftime, thanks to Francisco Conceiçao finishing off a magnificent team move.

Galvanized by this opening goal, the Turin side increased their dominance, scoring a second goal through Loïs Openda in the 71st minute.

A short-lived joy, as Tommaso Baldanzi allowed Roma to narrow the gap just four minutes later.

Unfortunately, it was a wake-up call too late for the Romans, who conceded another defeat.

Juventus (5th) thus comes within a single point of their evening's opponent (4th), while Gianpiero Gasperini's team could see the podium slip away if Napoli, Inter, and AC Milan win their games in hand.
