Paulo Dybala’s Hat-Trick Leads AS Roma to Victory Over Torino

New Manager De Rossi Sees Success Continues for AS Roma

A remarkable display by Paulo Dybala, scoring a hat-trick, propelled AS Roma to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Torino. This victory marks five wins out of six under the management of Danielle De Rossi, narrowing the gap to fourth-placed Bologna in Serie A.

Roma’s Tactical Adjustments and Kristensen’s Missed Opportunity

Despite playing 120 minutes of UEFA Europa League football just days before, De Rossi made strategic changes to the starting lineup, aiming to secure a position in Europe’s top competitions for the upcoming season. Among the alterations, Leeds United loanee Rasmus Kristensen had a clear chance to put Roma ahead but saw his effort hit the post.

Dybala’s Impact and Torino’s Response

The game witnessed a pivotal moment when substitute Saba Sazonov’s reckless challenge led to a penalty, expertly converted by Dybala, his ninth league goal of the season. Torino swiftly responded through Duván Zapata, but Dybala’s individual brilliance restored Roma’s lead with an extraordinary long-range strike.

Conclusion and Torino’s Disappointment

Despite Torino’s late attempt to rally with a Dean Huijsen own goal, AS Roma held on for the win. Torino’s back-to-back defeats for the first time since October dent their aspirations for continental football next season, leaving them in 10th place in the table.
