Gasperini: ‘A precious Roma win, youth players have talent’

Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini hailed his team's hard-fought 4-2 Serie A win over Cagliari, describing the victory as especially precious amid squad fatigue and injuries. After M'Bala Nzola opened the scoring with an early penalty for Cagliari, Roma responded with goals from academy products Emanuele Lulli and Niccolò Pisilli. Cagliari leveled through Daniel Maldini before late goals from substitutes Rodrigo Mora and Donyell Malen clinched the win.

Gasperini highlighted the vital contributions of youth players and praised goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini for stepping up in the absence of injured starter Mile Svilar. Despite missing key players including Paulo Dybala, Manu Koné, and Lorenzo Pellegrini, Roma navigated their congested fixture schedule to secure the three points.
