Key numbers
- xG 0.8 vs 3.27: Roma created the better chances
- 3-0 by 25': the match was settled early
- Hermoso: 10 defensive actions, a match high
Roma take Lecce apart early
AS Roma won 4-0 at Lecce and moved to the top of Serie A. Three of the goals arrived by the 25th minute, and Roma were in front for most of the match. Lecce's xG of 0.8 shows how little they created.
Malen's opener set the tone
Donyell Malen's fourth-minute opener was worth +0.7 FN xPts, more than any later goal. Malen finished with a brace, taking him to five league goals this season, and substitute Rodrigo Mora added the fourth in the 65th minute.
Player of the match
Mario Hermoso 8.6Dominant
Top of the FN Score, with 10 defensive actions (six tackles, four interceptions) the most of any player.
Mario Hermoso won eight of his ten duels and completed 84 of 92 passes, so his work covered both Roma's build-up and their defending. With Roma three goals clear by the 25th minute, that steadiness appears to have kept Lecce at arm's length for the rest of the match.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
