Roma thrashes Fiorentina 4-0 and approaches Champions League positions

Roma destroys Fiorentina with three goals in the first half and dreams of the Champions League.

What a start to the game! Roma did not forgive

Friends, what we experienced last night was pure electricity. La Loba came out hungry for glory and in just 18 minutes she had already finished the game. Three goals in the first half, as if to say: “here we are, and we come for everything.”

Mancini opened the scoring with a lethal header after a corner kick in the 13th minute. And when Fiorentina was still shaking off the blow, Wesley appeared five minutes later to score the second. So, without anesthesia. That’s how I like to see a team play: with determination.

The machinery did not stop

Mario Hermoso joined the party with a great goal created by Manu Kone, and to close the night, Niccolò Pisilli rounded off the score at the beginning of the second half. It was a dance, but with respect: Roma was simply superior in every line.

“The capital club rose to fifth place, one point behind Juventus”

What does this mean?

This is not just a victory, it is a declaration of intent. Roma is just a stone’s throw away from the Champions League, and with this inertia, who knows how far they can go. The fight for the top 4 is hot, and this team showed that it has the makings of a fight.

The path is clear: maintain this intensity, this connection on the field, and not give up. Because in football, as in life, moments of glory are built with work and faith. Let’s go Rome!

The United States team lost 3-2 to Türkiye at SoFi Stadium, but secured its ticket to the round of 32. The European team said goodbye to the tournament with a victory in its last match.

Party development

The game started at a slow pace. In the 2nd minute, Auston Trusty took advantage of a corner kick to open the scoring. Türkiye reacted quickly: in the 10th minute, Arda Güler, from Real Madrid, equalized after a defensive oversight.

The United States tried to regain the lead, but a goal disallowed for offside in the 29th minute baffled them. Türkiye capitalized: in the 32nd minute, Orkun Kökçü turned the score around (2-1). With that result the first half ended, amid complaints from the Los Angeles fans.

In the second half, Sebastián Berhalter equalized in the 48th minute to make it 2-2. The US coach sent Alejandro Zendejas to the field to look for greater offensive depth, but an injury to Trusty in the 90th minute threw the defense out of balance. In stoppage time, Kaan Ayhan scored the final 3-2.

Implications

The defeat raises doubts about the team’s performance heading into the next phase, although qualification is already assured.
