Dybala Scores Winner as Roma Moves Second in Serie A

Paulo Dybala scored the decisive goal in Roma's 1-0 victory over Sassuolo, which lifted Roma level on points with Serie A leaders Napoli. The goal came early in the 16th minute when Dybala reacted quickly to a rebound after a save by Sassuolo's goalkeeper, marking his first Serie A goal since February following injury setbacks. Dybala celebrated by dedicating the goal to his partner as they await their first child. Despite Sassuolo's strong start and several missed opportunities, Roma maintained their lead and controlled the latter part of the match, with Lorenzo Pellegrini coming close to scoring a second goal. The win keeps Roma in second place in the Serie A table, showing their resilience after recent home losses. Roma's clinical finishing remains an area for improvement despite the victory.
