Juventus come out on top in thriller against Roma! | OneFootball

Roma misses the mark.

This Saturday evening featured the weekend's highlight match in Serie A. As part of the 16th round of the championship, AS Roma traveled to face Juventus.

This encounter held particular significance for these two direct competitors. In the event of a victory, Roma could have widened the gap over their opponent of the evening, in addition to closing in on the top of the championship.

However, it was the home team that took the lead just before halftime, thanks to Francisco Conceiçao who finished off a magnificent team move.

Galvanized by this opening goal, the Turin side increased their dominance, scoring a second goal through Loïs Openda in the 71st minute of play.

A short-lived joy, as Tommaso Baldanzi allowed Roma to narrow the gap just four minutes later.

Unfortunately, it was a wake-up call that came too late for the Romans, who suffered another defeat.

Juventus (5th) thus comes within a single point of their evening opponent (4th), while Gianpiero Gasperini's side could see the podium slip away if Napoli, Inter, and AC Milan win their games in hand.
