Roma absolutely delivered a dramatic turnaround victory against Atalanta today in Serie A, battling back from a goal down to grab a stunning win and keep their perfect start rolling. This Giallorossi squad showed some serious heart, proving they won’t quit, and that’s exactly the kind of gritty performance that has the league taking notice.
Belief to the End: How Roma Flipped the Script
Man, what a game. The Giallorossi were trailing to an Ederson goal that came completely against the run of play. It was frustrating, too, with Santiago Castro hitting the woodwork *twice* and Marco Carnesecchi pulling off several big saves. But did Roma let that stop them? Nah! They just kept pushing, kept piling on the pressure, and it finally paid off in added time. Mario Hermoso scored a looping header on a corner to equalize, and then Matias Soulé drilled one into the near bottom corner for the win! Hermoso told Sky Sport Italia that the team “believed to the end.” He said, “We had the chances to score earlier, but the team believed to the end, that is what we want to do. We want to win, it was a home match and our fans gave us strength, so we are happy.” And that equalizer? He knew it was the moment: “My goal was the equalizer, and it gave us all the realization we could go on and win it.”
Dominance, Drive, and the S-Word
Seriously, the numbers back up Roma’s dominance. They had a crazy 66.5 percent possession, fired off 10 shots on target to Atalanta’s two, and racked up 39 overall attempts on goal compared to a measly six for the opposition. Soulé summed it up perfectly to Sky Sport Italia: “I thought we dominated the game from start to finish, and eventually got the points that we deserved.” He also said, “We are so united and ready to give our contribution.” Look, with Inter and Roma both starting the season with three wins out of three, everyone is starting to whisper the “S-word.” Is this going to be the Scudetto battle for this season? Soulé isn’t shying away, saying, “We earned our Champions League place last season and want to do even better this term, this side never says die.”
Three wins out of three for the Giallorossi. That’s a perfect start and a massive statement. After earning a Champions League spot last season, they’re not just looking to repeat that, they want to go even further. This Roma squad isn’t just winning; they’re showing that belief to the end. It’s too early to crown anyone, sure, but after today’s dramatic comeback, who’s going to bet against them when they say they want to “do even better?”
