AS Roma reignited the Serie A title race with a crucial 1-0 win over city rivals Lazio in the highly anticipated Derby della Capitale on Sunday afternoon at the Stadio Olimpico in Serie A.
The game’s only goal came in the 38th minute through captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, who struck a precise shot from inside the box to beat the goalkeeper and hand his side three valuable points in one of Italian football’s fiercest rivalries.
With this result, Roma climbed to fourth place in the standings with 9 points from four matches, three wins and one defeat, level on points with Napoli and AC Milan, and just one point behind leaders Juventus.
Lazio, meanwhile, continued their poor start to the season, remaining 12th in the table with only 3 points from a single victory and three losses, piling further pressure on head coach Maurizio Sarri.
The match saw late drama when Lazio’s Reda Belhian was sent off in the 88th minute.
