In a tightly contested Serie A, AS Roma secured a vital 2-0 victory over Cagliari, thanks to a stellar performance from Donyell Malen. The match held significant stakes, as Roma aimed to capitalize on Juventus' recent draw against Lazio. Malen scored two decisive goals; his first was a remarkable lob that showcased his skill, while the second came from a sharp positional play, converting a brilliant pass from Celik.

This win not only avenges Roma's previous defeat to Cagliari at Unipol Domus but also boosts their morale as they strive for a Champions League spot. The team, under the management of Gasperini, displayed a convincing performance, indicating a resurgence in their campaign after a rocky start. The encouraging debut of Spanish player Zaragoza added depth to Roma's attacking options, giving fans hope for the future.

With this victory, AS Roma moves closer to their goal of securing a top-four finish, essential for qualifying for next season's Champions League. As the competition in Serie A intensifies, Roma's ability to maintain form will be key in navigating the upcoming matches against fierce rivals, ensuring that they remain in the title chase with a strengthened attacking unit led by Malen.
