Roma turn it around against Atalanta after Rodrigo Mora goes off | OneFootball

Roma beat Atalanta 2-1 this Saturday, completing a comeback late on in their third-round Serie A match. With this result, the Roman side provisionally moved to the top of the table.

The first half ended goalless, but the away team 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 impact.

The equaliser only came in the 89th minute, when Spain international Mario Hermoso converted an assist from Argentine Matías Soulé. The Argentine player, who had replaced Mora, then went on to score the winner in the third minute of stoppage time after 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.
