Roma destroyed Lecce and maintained their lead in Serie A

Roma continued their strong start to the season in Italian Serie A. In the match of the 2nd round, the Romans confidently beat Lecce on the road with a score of 4:0. The guests opened the scoring in the fourth minute. Gaspar failed to give a pass while leaving the defense, gifting the ball to Malen, who punched it into Falcone's net without any obstacles. In the 23rd minute, the Dutchman scored a double. Wesley intercepted the ball after another mistake by the hosts, dragged it to the left flank and passed to Malen. Roma's forward calmly tipped over Falcone from an acute angle. In two minutes, the Romans increased their lead to three goals. Paulo Dybala found Malen with a pass, and instead of a shot, he gave the ball to Sule. The first shot of the Argentine Falcone was parried, but Sule managed to play on the finish. In the second half, Lecce tried to change the course of the match, but Roma continued to control the game. The hosts could have reduced the deficit after the penalty, but Gaspar hit the post and Mario Hermoso saved the team by clearing the ball from the goal line. Rodrigo Mora put the end of the match in the 65th minute. The Portuguese, who came on as a substitute, calmly dealt with Gianluca Mancini's cross and scored his first goal for Roma. Thus, Roma won for the second time in a row with a score of 4:0. In the first round, Gian Piero Gasperini's team defeated Fiorentina with the same result. Separately, it is worth noting Malen - the Dutchman already has five goals in the opening two matches of the season.
