JAKARTA - AS Roma ended this season's Italian League competition with a 3-0 win over Torino at the Olimpico Grande Torino on Saturday, May 21 in the early hours of GMT+7 (Indonesian Time).

Tammy Abraham scored two goals in this match, while the rest was scored by Lorenzo Pellegrini, according to the official Serie A website.

This victory ensures AS Roma temporarily rise to fifth position and secure a ticket to the Europa League next season. Roma ensured at least a sixth-place finish with 63 points would no longer be pursued by Fiorentina. Torino itself locked in 11th position with 50 points.

Reporting from Antara, the home team started the match with a lot of possession of the ball. Torino has threatened several times against Roma. However, their efforts often fail.

On the other hand, Rome's efforts could bear fruit in the 33rd minute. Tammy Abraham, listed his name on the scoreboard after successfully breaking into Etrit Berisha's goal with a shot from the middle of the penalty box. Lorenzo Pellegrini provided the assistance for the goal. Score 1-0 to Roma.

Roma got a penalty in the 42nd minute after Berisha fouled Abraham in the Torino box. Abraham took the shot and scored the second goal to make it 2-0.

Winning two goals in the first half did not make Roma so relax attacks. Unfortunately, they had to settle for a 2-0 advantage that lasted until the break.

Torino made a team reshuffle before the second half started. The coach, Ivan Juric, made three substitutions at once by including Demba Seck, Marko Pjaca, and Alessandro Buongiorno.

This substitution seems to have little effect. Six minutes later, Torino managed to get a golden opportunity from Tomasso Pobega's shot. Unfortunately, the ball was able to be stopped by Rui Patricio.

Roma responded within the 61st minute. Jordan Veretout fired from outside the penalty area, but the pace of the ball was stopped by Berisha.

The referee again had to award a penalty to Roma after seeing Nicolo Zaniolo being brought down by Buongiorno in the 77th minute. Now it's Pellegrini's turn to be the executor of the kick. He did his job well to put Roma 3-0 up.

Satisfied with a three-goal advantage, Roma began to relax attacks and let Torino attack. However, no goals were scored until the game ended. Roma won the match with a convincing score of 3-0.
