Roma, with Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes as starters, beat Lazio 1-0 in the city classic and was on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League, on a day in which Milan won 3-0 to Lecce and established himself as Inter’s escort in the Italian League.
A header goal from defender Gianluca Mancini after a corner taken by Dybala near the end of the first half gave the victory to Daniele De Rossi’s team, who celebrated the victory in the classic in a very special way. In Roma, Dybala and Paredes played 80 minutes, putting in good performances and being replaced near the end.
Before the classic, ultras from Rome and Lazio clashed near the stadium, with one fan arrested and several with minor injuries.
Meanwhile, Milan maintained its minimal chances of fighting Inter for the title by beating Lecce 3-0 with goals from the American Christian Pulisic, the Frenchman Olivier Giroud and the Portuguese Rafael Leao. With the three points, the Rossoneri team reached 68 points, 11 behind the leader Inter, who will visit Udinese on Monday.
In the other match on Saturday, Empoli beat Torino 3-2 with goals from Nicolò Cambiaghi, Matteo Cancellieri and MBaye Niang. For the loser, Colombian Duvan Zapata scored a double.
