Gasperini's team overturns the result in stoppage time after a dominated match. They are now level on points with Inter.
Roma beats Atalanta 2-1 in the 93rd minute with a spectacular comeback at the Olimpico. After dominating the entire match with 37 total shots, the Giallorossi found themselves trailing 1-0 in the second half due to Ederson's goal. The reaction was immediate and overwhelming: in the 90th minute, José Luis Hermoso equalized with a header from a corner, while in the 93rd minute, Matías Soulé scored the winning goal with a great left-footed shot at the near post.
The match, played in a summer climate with heat and humidity, saw Roma constantly pressuring the goal defended by an inspired Carnesecchi. The Giallorossi hit a post, a crossbar, and had a goal disallowed for offside before Atalanta's surprising lead. The double strike in the final minutes unleashed the celebration of the Olimpico and coach Daniele Gasperini himself, who celebrated under the curva alongside his players.
With this victory, Roma joins Inter at the top of the table with a perfect record after three matchdays. The win comes at a crucial moment of the season and demonstrates the character of a team that did not give up despite numerous missed chances and the blow of conceding a goal.
The match represents a clash between two teams with European ambitions and well-defined playing styles. Roma, under Daniele Gasperini, displayed dominant and offensive football, deploying a 3-4-2-1 formation against Atalanta's three-man defense. The Giallorossi coach demonstrated tactical flexibility, adjusting the system during the game with decisive substitutions like bringing on Balerdi in place of Ndicka.
The context of the match is significant as it marks the first real test of the season for both sides. The victory allows Roma to keep pace with Inter, who won their match, and sends an important signal to the rest of the league. For Atalanta, however, the defeat comes despite a spirited performance and the skill of goalkeeper Carnesecchi, forced to surrender only in the final moments.
Historically, Atalanta has often come out on top in head-to-head clashes, but this time Roma managed to turn the tables, showing remarkable resilience. Their ability to react to setbacks and continue creating chances as the minutes ticked by could be a key factor for the entire Giallorossi season.
