AS Roma maintained its strong Serie A title challenge with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Como at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday. The hosts, who had suffered two consecutive defeats, bounced back with a Wesley goal in the second half. Roma's strike came after a closely contested match, where both teams struggled to create clear-cut chances. The outcome kept Roma in fourth place with 30 points, just three points behind leaders Inter Milan, who have 33 points. Como, meanwhile, remains seventh with 24 points. Roma's attacking threat was evident in the second half, particularly when they pressed high up the pitch. However, the team's inability to deliver a decisive final pass often hindered their chances. The hosts' lone shot on target in the first half came when Wesley's cross found Evan Ferguson, who was unable to capitalize due to pressure from the Como defender. In the dying minutes of the first half, Roma's goalkeeper Mile Svilar showcased his agility, saving a free kick that seemed destined for the back of the net. The decisive moment came in the 60th minute, when Matias Soule's pass found Wesley, who fired a precise shot into the far bottom corner from a wide angle. Como struggled to mount a comeback, and Roma's defense held firm to secure the win. The team's impressive record of not drawing a single match this season remains intact, with 21 games played in all competitions.
