Roma came from behind against Atalanta after Rodrigo Mora went off | OneFootball

Roma defeated Atalanta 2-1 this Saturday, completing a comeback in the closing stages of their Italian league third-round match. With this result, the Rome side temporarily moved to the top of the table.

The first half ended goalless, but the visitors took the lead as early as the 47th minute through Brazilian midfielder Emerson.

Gian Piero Gasperini tried to change the course of the match with four substitutions made over the space of nine minutes. Among the changes was the withdrawal of Portuguese playmaker Rodrigo Mora in the 54th minute, although the alterations had no immediate effect.

The equaliser only came in the 89th minute, when Spain international Mario Hermoso converted an assist from Argentina’s Matías Soulé. The Argentine player, who had replaced Mora, then scored the winner in the 90+3rd minute following a pass from compatriot Paulo Dybala.

With this hard-fought victory, Roma have three wins from three matches and sit in first place. Atalanta, meanwhile, suffered their first defeat of the season and remain seventh with six points.
