"Roma's" team had a very difficult start in the "Serie A" championship. Edin Džeko's goal saved "Roma" as they defeated "Torino" 1:0 and earned their first points in the standings.
"Roma" had real opportunities to score within the first 20 minutes, but Aleksandar Kolarov and Javier Pastore failed to convert their chances.
At the end of the first half, Alessandro Florenzi tried to send the ball into the goal, but Salvatore Sirigu saved his team.
After the break, a goal almost fell into "Roma's" net, but Iago Falque was offside and the score remained unchanged.
Later on, both teams had more chances to score, but it wasn't until the 89th minute.
Then, after a great pass from Justin Kluivert, E. Džeko skillfully played the ball with one touch, sending it into the far corner of the goal and leaving no chance for S. Sirigu.
Although the referee added 7 minutes, "Torino" was unable to respond to their opponents during that time.
