In the 21st round of the Italian championship, Roma traveled to Turin and secured a convincing 0-2 victory over Torino. The Romans not only "captured" three points in this game but also made the new transfer's debut an ideal scenario.
From the third minute onwards, Roma attempted to control the game, while Torino responded with pressure from home. But the decisive episode came in the middle of the first half: Roma's new acquisition Malen scored in his very debut, giving the fans a "I'm here" signal. This goal, scored in the 26th minute, completely changed the game's rhythm in favor of the visitors.
In the second half, Torino took more risks to equalize, but Roma's experience and disciplined play proved decisive. In the 72nd minute, Paulo Dybala once again showed that he is a big player of big games: he scored a goal and practically guaranteed the team's victory. Most importantly, Dybala didn't limit himself to just a goal in this match - he also provided an assist, formalizing the goal+assist statistics. That is, he was Roma's main driver this evening.
