AS Roma Edge Past Como as Wesley França Fires Giallorossi Back to Winning Ways

AS Roma brought their Serie A losing run to an end with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Como, restoring belief at the Stadio Olimpico and giving their supporters a much-needed boost.
The decisive moment arrived courtesy of Wesley França, who calmly guided the ball into the far bottom corner after a well-weighted assist from Matías Soulé. It was a goal born of precision rather than power — and one that ultimately proved enough to secure all three points for the Roman side.
For Como, the defeat marked a second consecutive loss in Serie A, compounding their frustration on an already difficult evening. Matters were made worse when key attacker Assane Diao was forced off through injury, dealing a significant blow to the visitors’ attacking options.
Both teams arrived in Rome with serious squad issues. AS Roma were notably without Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk, yet the match remained finely balanced throughout. The hosts created several dangerous chances, including an effort from Bryan Cristante that struck the woodwork — only to be ruled out for offside.
The tension simmered until the final whistle and eventually boiled over, with a heated confrontation breaking out between players from AS Roma and Como after the match had ended. It was a fittingly fiery conclusion to a tightly contested encounter.
