Rodrigo Mora on at 57 minutes in AS Roma win over Torino | OneFootball

AS Roma won 0-2 away to Torino on Monday, in a match from the fourth round of Serie A. The clash also marked the reunion between Daniel Bragança and Rodrigo Mora, for the first time since their respective departures from Portugal, with the former FC Porto player ending the game with reasons to smile.

Neither Portuguese player was in the starting line-up. Both the former Sporting man and the young prospect developed at FC Porto began the match on the bench.

The visiting side took control of proceedings early on and created several chances throughout the first half, eventually opening the scoring.

Donyell Malen was once again decisive for AS Roma and scored for the sixth game this season, taking his tally to six goals in just five matches.

Daniel Bragança was introduced at the start of the second half by Ignazio Abate, replacing Gvidas Gineitis in Torino’s midfield. The Portuguese midfielder’s introduction gave the team greater attacking threat, and Torino created their best chances after the break.

Rodrigo Mora came on in the 57th minute to strengthen Roma’s attack, replacing Matias Soulé on the left flank and looking to help extend AS Roma’s lead.

Despite Torino’s response, the match was definitively settled near the end. Niccolo Pisilli struck from outside the box and found the back of the net, allowing the Roman side to move provisionally clear at the top of Serie A with 12 points from 12 possible.

Torino, for their part, sit in 14th place and continue to edge closer to the relegation zone in this early stage of the campaign.

Before the international break, AS Roma will face a demanding home match against Italian champions Inter, in a meeting between two teams currently in the top four.
