Roma narrowly beat Como 1-0, maintaining their 100% record of winning games when taking the lead this season. 

This thrilling victory keeps Roma just three points behind Serie A leaders Inter Milan.

The first half was a dull affair, with Roma struggling to break through Como’s stubborn defense. Despite applying pressure, the home side failed to create significant opportunities, with Wesley Franca’s shot flying over the bar.

Como showed more urgency after the break, rattling in as many shots in the opening 10 minutes of the second half as they did in the first 45 minutes. Roma had a Bryan Cristante goal ruled out for offside, but it was Wesley who scored the decisive goal..

Despite holding a one-goal lead, Roma rarely looked like squandering their advantage. Como, despite their meteoric rise, remain a level below the genuine big-hitters of this Serie A season.

Roma once again found a way to stay in the hunt for their first Scudetto for 24 years. Their next challenge is an away game against Cagliari Calcio, who surprisingly beat Roma 1-0 in their previous encounter.
