Roma are Serie A title contenders!If it wasn't clear after the opening three league games, the tough away clash against Torino and the Giallorossi's 2-0 triumph certainly proved it. Gian Piero Gasperini's men were evidently tired after making their Champions League comeback just four days earlier, but still had enough in the tank to pick up another three points.Juve suffer first defeat in injury timeAnd once again, the Paulo Dybala-Donyell Malen duo delivered, with the Dutchman scoring the key opener – his sixth Serie A goal in five matches. The Argentine's pass was crucial, though he won't be credited with an assist, as the striker scored from the rebound. Niccolo Pisilli made it 2-0 in stoppage time, confirming the visitors triumph.Either way, Roma are perfect after four Serie A games and sit top of the standings, while only Inter Milan can catch them if they beat Udinese later tonight (21.45).🚨🚨 | Roma has now WON 4 out of 4 games in the Serie A and are FIRST place. 🔴🟡✅ 2-0 vs. Torino✅ 2-1 vs. Atalanta ✅ 4-0 vs. Lecce✅ 4-0 vs. Fiorentina pic.twitter.com/NEbQGHDV5p— Kalshi FC (@KalshiFC) September 14, 2026 From the first whistle, Roma looked every bit like a side with a perfect record. They put Torino under intense pressure despite playing away from home, with their last week's hero Matias Soule – who scored the stoppage-time winner against Atalanta – once again looking like their most inspired player.After a while, the Giallorossi's lethal duo, Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen, started running riot, and the Turin side simply couldn't cope.Hero at full-time, trouble by sunrise: Maldini's son had a nightmare nightThe Dutchman's opener midway through the first half was ruled out for offside, while the Argentine's 35th-minute header went narrowly wide. However, five minutes later, the two combined to hit the bullseye!Torino goalkeeper Lucas Perri sent a poor pass forward, Dybala pounced on the ball and delivered a fantastic through ball for Malen, whose first attempt was saved by the Brazilian, but the striker reacted brilliantly, poking the rebound into the empty net from the ground to put the visitors in front just in time before the break.In the second half, Roma's dominance simply continued, with Nahuel Molina wasting a decent chance after a nice combination with Malen. Still, the Argentine fired a volley over the bar from a promising position. Torino were pretty quiet until the 58th minute, when the visitors custodian Mile Svilar made a point-blank save after Giovanni Simeone's effort.By the 64th minute, Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini had subbed off Malen, Dybala, Soule, and the captain Bryan Cristante, trying to rest them, as the Giallorossi played the Champions League game against Fenerbahce in Istanbul just four days ago.For many tacticians, it would be a risky move, but the veteran put trust in his bench players and it paid off. Truth be told, a starter Niccolo Pisilli managed to make the victory more convincing in stoppage time, but still, another three points are what matters most, regardless of the final result..Roma now sit at the Serie A summit, while only Inter Milan have a chance to match their perfect record if they beat Udinese at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza later tonight (21.45).SERIE A – MATCHDAY 4FridayVenezia – Fiorentina 2-4 (1-2)/Adams 22, Hainaut 86 – Mastantuono 29,30,84, Pellegrino 66/SaturdayGenoa – Frosinone 1-1 (0-1)/Vasquez 50 – Kvernadze 14/Lazio – Milan 2-2 (2-0)/Cancellieri 10, Noslin 39 – Moreira 65, 67/Atalanta – Cagliari 1-2 (1-1)/Scamacca 41 – Mendy 19, Maldini 61 pen/SundayLecce – Monza 3-2 (3-1)/Coulibaly 3, 21, Gabriel 10 – Mangas 20, Zeballos 89/Napoli – Bologna 1-0 (0-0)/Lobotka 66/Sassuolo – Juventus 3-2 (0-0)/Esposito 65, Bowie 89, Adzic 90+4 – Zhegrova 82, 90+1/MondayComo – Parma 2-1 (1-0)/Ramon 23, Kaiki 83 – Romero 90+2/Torino – Roma 0-2 (0-1)/Malen 40, Pisilli 90+3/21.45: (1.22) Inter (6.50) Udinese (12.0)***odds are subject to change***
