Serie A | Roma 3-0 Pisa – Malen the hat-trick hero as Giallorossi stroll to victory | OneFootball

Donyell Malen was the star of the show as Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma produced a commanding home performance against Pisa at the Olimpico, the Dutch forward completing a hat-trick in a display that rarely suggested anything other than a comfortable afternoon’s work for the hosts.

The Dutch forward set the tone inside three minutes, collecting the ball on the edge of the area, driving forward with purpose and finishing clinically beneath the crossbar to give Roma an early foothold.

Pisa, to their credit, did not retreat immediately and caused occasional problems on the counter, but Roma’s control of the match was evident throughout a first half that the hosts largely dictated.

The second goal came in the 43rd minute and it was a quality team move, Devyne Rensch threading a pass for Malen to meet on the run; the finish composed and assured.

Lorenzo Pellegrini had rattled the crossbar from a free kick moments earlier, but it mattered little with the half-time lead already firmly established.

Roma 3-0 Pisa – Malen completes hat-trick in comfortable Giallorossi win

Gasperini made an early change after the break, introducing El Shaarawy for Pellegrini, and the tempo barely dropped as Roma pressed for a third.

It arrived in the 52nd minute when Matias Soulé produced a moment of genuine quality, a through ball, that split the Pisa defence and allowed Malen to stroke home his third goal of the evening with minimal fuss.

Soulé himself was replaced shortly after by Neil El Aynaoui as Gasperini managed his squad sensibly with the game long since won. Rensch also made way for Angelino in the closing stages, while Pisa brought on fresh legs in search of a consolation that never materialised.

A clean sheet, three goals and a performance of growing confidence as Roma keep up the pressure on Juventus and Como in the race for the top four.
