Roma come from behind against Atalanta after Rodrigo Mora goes off | OneFootball

Roma beat Atalanta 2-1 this Saturday, completing a comeback late in the third round of the Italian league. With this result, the Roman 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 substitutions did not have an immediate effect.

The equaliser only came in the 89th minute, when Spanish international Mario Hermoso finished off an assist from Argentine Matías Soulé. The Argentine player, who had replaced Mora, then went on to score the winner in the 90+3rd minute following a pass from compatriot Paulo Dybala.

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