Roma suffers another painful away defeat, falling 3-2 to a Verona side determined to regain points and confidence. Juric’s team continues to struggle with tactical choices and defensive frailties, as the Croatian coach clings to ineffective strategies. Roma now finds itself slipping down the standings, forced to look over its shoulder. Verona, with goals from Tengstedt, Magnani, and Harroui, ends a three-game losing streak and secures an important win.
The game started with an initially promising Roma, but the balance was broken at the 13th minute by a major mistake from Zalewski, who gifted the ball to Tengstedt, allowing him to beat Svilar. Despite a stylish equalizer from Soulé with a backheel finish, Verona quickly responded with a powerful header from Magnani, exploiting the shaky Roma defense. Roma struggled to organize itself and soon lost control of the game.
In the second half, Dovbyk brought the score to 2-2 with an assist from Celik, but Verona again struck the decisive blow: Livramento, in a brilliant run, outpaced Ndicka and set up Harroui for the winning goal. Roma’s final chance came from a Dybala free kick, but Montipò’s save sealed the victory for Verona.
