Roma secured a resounding 5-0 victory over Parma at the Stadio Olimpico, showcasing their offensive prowess and defensive solidity. Paulo Dybala led the charge with two goals, while Alexis Saelemaekers and Artem Dovbyk also found the back of the net, with Leandro Paredes adding a penalty.
The match began with early chances for both sides, with Ange-Yoan Bonny narrowly missing for Parma and Artem Dovbyk firing off-target for Roma. Dybala broke the deadlock with a penalty after being fouled by Botond Balogh, converting with characteristic precision.
Saelemaekers doubled Roma’s lead with a spectacular right-foot volley, exploiting a weakness in Zion Suzuki’s goalkeeping. Parma attempted to respond, with Hernani’s long-range shot dramatically palmed onto the crossbar by Mile Svilar.
The second half saw Roma continue their dominance. Dybala scored his second goal after a deflected Saelemaekers shot, with VAR confirming the goal was onside. Paredes extended the lead from the penalty spot after Valentin Mihaila’s foul on Saelemaekers.
Dovbyk completed the rout with a close-range finish from a delicate Dybala assist, bringing the final score to 5-0. Notably, manager Claudio Ranieri made no substitutions throughout the match, and Svilar maintained a clean sheet with a late save from Dennis Man.
The victory marks a significant turnaround for Roma, who had previously struggled with inconsistent performances.
