AS Roma Held by Juventus in Six-Goal Thriller at Stadio Olimpico

ROME, 02 March 2026 – AS Roma saw a two-goal lead evaporate in the closing stages of their Serie A clash against Juventus on Sunday, resulting in a dramatic 3-3 draw that impacts the race for the European qualification spots.

Match Report: Late Drama at the Olimpico

In a match that encapsulated the “ups and downs” predicted by Italian pundits, AS Roma appeared to be cruising toward a vital victory. Leading 3-1 with just 12 minutes remaining, the Giallorossi were unable to withstand a late surge from Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus side. The visitors clawed back to 3-3, maintaining their unbeaten record in 10 of their last 11 meetings against the Roman club.

Niccolo Pisilli, the 21-year-old midfielder, was widely praised for a mature performance, controlling the tempo for much of the evening. However, the late collapse left manager Gian Piero Gasperini expressing “bitter regret” as Roma missed the opportunity to solidify their position in the top four of the Serie A table.

Transfer Rumours and Squad News

Off the pitch, Roma are reportedly already planning for the summer transfer window. Reports from Italy suggest the club is plotting a €60 million move for Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners. The move would see Koopmeiners reunite with Gasperini, his former mentor at Atalanta. While the Dutch international has struggled for consistency in Turin, he remains a primary target for the Roman hierarchy.

Internal contract negotiations are also making headlines, with the club reportedly struggling to reach an agreement with Turkish international defender Zeki Celik regarding a contract renewal.
