In the match of the 33rd round of the Italian Serie A, Roma defeated Verona 1:0 in front of more than 60 thousand fans. The only goal that secured the important victory for the hosts was scored by Eldor Shomurodov less than four minutes into the match.
Shomurodov's goal is the seventh consecutive minimum victory for Roma
If we look at the statistics, Roma has won 1:0 seven times this season, setting a season record. The wrestlers have left behind Napoli (6 times) and Fiorentina (5 times) in this regard.
Interestingly, Roma's first 1-0 victory was recorded when Ivan Juric was still the head coach - at that time Paulo Dybala's solo shot deflected the ball into the Torino goal.
From Dybala to Sule, Dovbik to Shomurodov - the history of minimum scores
Here are the heroes behind the Wolves' 1-0 victories:
- Dybala - defeated Venezia;
- Mathias Sule - struck with accurate shots against Parma and Empoli;
- Artem Dovbik - destroyed the goals of Cagliari and Lecce;
- Eldor Shomurodov - became the author of the decisive shot against Verona.
Historical context: Has Roma achieved this result before?
Roma have only won 1-0 more times in a season than the above result five times in their history. The all-time record is 9 minimum wins:
- 1965–66 (Oronzo Pugliese)
- 1974–75 (Nils Liedholm)
This has also been achieved 8 times in three other seasons.
Claudio Ranieri has the opportunity to turn a new page
Roma still have five games left this season, and if they win three of them 1-0, it will be a historic result. For Claudio Ranieri, this is not just a victory, but an opportunity to make history.
