Milan, September 28 (LaPresse) – Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma wins again, defeating Verona 2-0 in the 5th round of Serie A, temporarily leveling with Napoli at the top of the table with 12 points. In the evening, Antonio Conte's Azzurri will face Milan in the San Siro postponement. After two draws, Verona, led by Paolo Zanetti, loses again and stays stuck on just 3 points. The match was always under Roma’s control, who took the lead after just 7 minutes with a great header from Dovbyk on a cross from Celik on the right. From then on, however, the Giallorossi struggled, and a dangerous and lively Verona came close to scoring multiple times, especially with Orban, who also hit the crossbar. In the second half, Verona kept pressing, particularly through Orban, the striker who had already caused problems for Juventus the previous week. Roma defended well, and in the 80th minute, they scored a counterattack goal to double the lead, with Soulè finding the net in a scrappy finish. That was the knockout blow for Hellas. In stoppage time, a goal from Orban was disallowed by VAR due to a handball. For Gasperini’s Roma, it’s celebration at the Olimpico, and they'll be serious contenders for a Champions League spot.
