“Gianluca Mancini broke the deadlock, heading or finishing to put Roma ahead and set the tone for a devastating opening period.”
Pivotal“Wesley doubled Roma's advantage just four minutes later, compounding Fiorentina's misery and making it 2-0 before the match had truly settled.”
Pivotal“Mario Hermoso added a third before the break, making it 3-0 and ensuring Fiorentina's triple substitution at half-time was damage limitation rather than tactical adjustment.”
Pivotal“Niccolò Pisilli put the finishing touch on Roma's commanding display with a fourth goal, completing a night to forget for Fiorentina and one to savour for the Giallorossi.”

Outstanding performance
Roma•MidfielderRoma were simply ruthless from the opening whistle, turning what could have been a competitive Serie A fixture into a one-sided demolition. Three goals in the first 34 minutes — from Mancini, Wesley, and Hermoso — put the match entirely beyond Fiorentina, who mustered just four shots all evening and created zero big chances. Roma's 61% possession and 91% pass accuracy reflected a side entirely in control, dictating tempo and exploiting Fiorentina's defensive fragility with surgical precision. Niccolò Pisilli added a fourth in the 58th minute to complete the rout, underscoring just how thoroughly outclassed the visitors were on the night. For Fiorentina, the mass triple substitution at half-time told its own story — a desperate attempt to stem the bleeding — but the damage was already done. For Roma, this emphatic win reinforces their form and pushes their credentials in the Serie A standings, while Fiorentina will have serious questions to answer about their defensive shape and ability to compete against top opposition.
