A Roma venceu o Cagliari por 4 a 2 nesta terça-feira (27), no Estádio Olímpico, em partida válida pela nona rodada do Campeonato Italiano de 2026/27, em um confronto com 39 finalizações no total.
Os visitantes saíram na frente aos dez minutos: após o VAR confirmar um pênalti, M’Bala Nzola foi para a cobrança e converteu. A desvantagem durou pouco — aos 15, Emanuele Lulli recebeu assistência de Nahuel Molina e empatou; aos 21, Niccolò Pisilli virou após passe de Lulli, que participou diretamente dos dois gols. A Roma terminou o jogo com 61% de posse de bola.
O segundo tempo seguiu disputado, o que se refletiu no equilíbrio das finalizações: 20 da Roma e 19 do Cagliari, com oito no alvo para cada lado. Aos 36, Daniel Maldini aproveitou a assistência de Adam Obert e empatou em 2 a 2.
A Roma reagiu rapidamente, e as substituições de Gian Piero Gasperini surtiram efeito imediato. Aos 40, Rodrigo Mora, que havia entrado na vaga de Marten de Roon, marcou o terceiro gol com assistência de Daniele Ghilardi, outro reserva acionado minutos antes; aos 42, Donyell Malen, também vindo do banco, fechou o placar em 4 a 2.
Com o resultado, a Roma chega a 21 pontos e ocupa a terceira colocação da Serie A, enquanto o Cagliari permanece com 13, em nono lugar. O triunfo mantém a Roma sem derrotas no Campeonato Italiano; o Cagliari amarga a terceira derrota nos últimos cinco compromissos pela competição.
As duas equipes voltam a campo no próximo fim de semana. A Roma visita a Udinese no sábado (31), antes de encarar o Manchester United pela Champions League na terça-feira seguinte. O Cagliari, por sua vez, joga fora de casa contra a Lazio no domingo.
