AS Roma defeat Empoli by a resounding 7-0 at the Stadio Olimpico In a one-sided Serie A one-sided encounter, AS Roma produced a clinical performance to defeat Empoli by a resounding 7-0 at the legendary Stadio Olimpico. The match saw Roma completely dominate from start to finish and Empoli struggled to cope with their relentless attacks. The match started with Roma taking control of the game from the start and it didn't take them long to break the deadlock. As early as the 2nd minute, Roma were awarded a penalty and star player Paulo Dybala confidently headed the ball into the net, giving his team their first lead of the game. Eight minutes later, Roma increased their lead thanks to an incredible goal from Renato Sanches. The Portuguese midfielder struck a powerful shot from outside the box, leaving Empoli's goalkeeper no chance to save. With the score 2-0 within ten minutes, it was clear Roma were determined to take care of business. However, Empoli's misfortunes continued: in the 35th minute, Andrea Grassi accidentally scored a goal into his own net, further increasing Roma's lead. Frustration grew for both teams and in the 38th minute Dybala received a yellow card, followed by a flurry of yellow cards for Empoli players. Closer to the break, Empoli tried to regroup and went forward with two substitutions.

However, Roma were not ready to concede their advantage. In the 55th minute, Dybala struck again, scoring his second goal of the match and further consolidating Roma's position. Closer to the hour mark Empoli made another double substitution: Marco Destro and Francesco Caputo came into the game, Roma also made a change, bringing on Andrea Belotti in place of Dybala in the 64th minute. It didn't take long for the new striker to make his mark on the game. In the 80th minute, Bryan Cristante scored a stunning goal, and two minutes later Romelu Lukaku further demoralised the Empoli defence. Roma continued to impress in the final minutes of the game, adding another goal to their tally. In the 86th minute, Gianluca Mancini struck the Empoli goal.
