Gian Piero Gasperini's team came from behind twice in the match, with the Italian champions extending their unbeaten league run to nine games.\n\nCagliari took the lead in the 10th minute through a penalty, but Roma quickly responded in the 15th minute, equalising. The home side doubled their lead in the 21st minute, moving into a comfortable position.\n\nIn the second half, Gasperini made changes to his lineup at the break and again at the hour mark. Cagliari responded in the 63rd minute, cutting Roma's advantage down to one. However, Roma held firm, with Rodrigo Mora and Donyell Malen scoring in quick succession in the 85th and 87th minutes to seal the victory. Malen completed his hat-trick, celebrating with Mora.\n\nRoma now sit third in Serie A with 21 points, just four behind leaders Lazio with the same number of games played. Cagliari remain in ninth place with 13 points. The win keeps Roma on track for a strong title push.",
