Soulé scores after 22 seconds as the Giallorossi dominate but miss chances to extend their lead

Roma’s impressive run continues with a 1-0 victory over Empoli, marking their fifth consecutive win. The match was decided almost immediately, as Soulé found the net just 22 seconds in with a precise shot at the near post. With this result, the Giallorossi climb to seventh place with 46 points, overtaking Fiorentina and closing in on the Champions League spots, while Empoli remains in the relegation zone.

Despite the early lead, Roma had several opportunities to seal the game, hitting both the crossbar and the post in the first half through Pellegrini, Shomurodov, and Koné. Empoli attempted to respond with chances from Colombo and De Sciglio, but Svilar stood firm. In the second half, Roma controlled possession and nearly doubled their advantage in the final moments, but Silvestri denied Dovbyk’s clever chip.

A crucial win for Roma, who maintain their European push, while Empoli’s struggles continue, leaving them two points away from safety with a tough road ahead.
