AS Roma Extend Winning Run with 3-1 Victory Over Atalanta
AS Roma continued their impressive form in Serie A on Saturday, defeating Atalanta Bergamo 3-1 to secure another vital three points in their chase for the Scudetto.
Rodrigo Taddei opened the scoring early for the Giallorossi, setting the tone for the match. Adam Ljajic followed up with a second goal, further asserting Roma’s dominance in the contest. However, it was the in-form Ivorian winger Gervinho who sealed the victory with his eighth goal of the season, putting Roma firmly in control.
Despite Atalanta’s efforts, they were unable to break down Roma’s defense and could only manage a single goal. AS Roma’s victory ensures they stay second in the Serie A standings, still trailing Juventus, who are leading the table. The capital club will now be hoping for a slip-up from the league leaders in their upcoming match against Udinese to keep the title race alive.
With Rudi Garcia’s men continuing to deliver strong performances, AS Roma are firmly in contention for the Serie A crown, but they will need to rely on Juventus dropping points to close the gap at the top.
