Roma's manager, Ivan Juric, experienced a brief respite as his team narrowly defeated Torino 1-0. This marked their first victory in four Serie A games. Paulo Dybala netted the decisive goal in the 20th minute. He capitalised on Karol Linetty's poor backpass, bypassing Torino's goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to score. This win elevated Roma to 10th place with 13 points from 10 matches, easing some pressure on Juric.

Elsewhere in Italy, Lazio secured a dominant 5-1 victory over Como, who are positioned 15th. Both teams ended the match with ten players each. Valentin Castellanos initiated the scoring for Lazio with a penalty, followed by Pedro's goal shortly after. Como's Luca Mazzitelli scored early in the second half, offering some hope to his side.

The match saw Matthias Braunoder and Nuno Tavares sent off just after the hour mark. Patric then extended Lazio's lead with a third goal. Castellanos added another before Loum Tchaouna scored during stoppage time, ensuring Marco Baroni's team claimed all three points.

In another Serie A clash on Thursday, Fiorentina deepened Genoa's woes with a narrow 1-0 victory. Robin Gosens scored the only goal in the second half for Fiorentina. The Viola remain six points behind league leaders Napoli. Meanwhile, Genoa languish at the bottom with just six points from one win and three draws across ten matches.

This result leaves Torino just one point ahead of Roma after suffering their fourth defeat in five games. The pressure mounts on Torino as they struggle to find form in recent matches.

Roma's win provides some relief for Juric amid scrutiny early into his tenure in Rome. The team's performance has been under observation since he took charge a month and a half ago.

The victory against Torino offers Roma a chance to build momentum moving forward in the season. With this win, they aim to climb further up the standings and improve their position significantly.
