Match report
Roma snatch late win over Atalanta with two stoppage-time goals
AS Roma came from behind to beat Atalanta 2-1 in a Serie A round three fixture at the Stadio Olimpico, a dramatic finish overturning what had looked like a losing scoreline for much of the contest.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Atalanta broke the deadlock just after the restart when Éderson scored in the 47th minute to put the visitors 1-0 up. Roma pushed hard for an equaliser and got their reward late on, with Hermoso converting an assist from Matías Soulé in the 89th minute to level the score. Deep into stoppage time, Soulé turned provider into scorer, finishing off a Paulo Dybala assist to make it 2-1. Atalanta's night worsened further when Gianluca Gaetano was sent off shortly afterwards.
Roma dominated the underlying numbers throughout, holding 66 percent of possession and firing 39 shots to Atalanta's six, yet it took until the closing stages for that pressure to tell on the scoreboard.
Soulé capped his display with a goal and an assist, earning the highest rating on the pitch as Roma turned the match around in the final minutes.
Roma's 39 shots to Atalanta's six underlined how one-sided the attacking play was despite the tight scoreline.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave AS Roma 40%, the draw 28%, Atalanta 32%. It finished AS Roma 2–1 Atalanta.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and AS Roma's 40% is home ground and little else. The draw at 28% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why AS Roma in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1924 to 1973. Sides this close won 43.1% of 15,887 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%).
Why only 40%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims AS Roma's column. Across 10,911 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018. Serie A home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to the other outcomes. Serie A homes won 43.3% of 6,102 games vs 44.9% across all 99,727 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why the draw at 28%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,965. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. Serie A runs draw-heavy, adding 1.0 points.
What did we measure but not count?
AS Roma are unbeaten in their last 13 league games at home (10 wins, 3 draws), a run going back to December 2025. Rolling home runs look imposing but sides on a 6+ run won 56.3% of 13,570 games vs 54.6% class-expected — and in our walked test the rating already carried it, as it did for the season-long record. Last 6 between them: AS Roma 0 wins, 2 draws, Atalanta 4 wins. Most recently AS Roma 1–1 Atalanta, 5 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 28.1% of 5612 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
