On 1st October 2023, AS Roma narrowly won against Frosinone Calcio in an intense Serie A match held at the Stadio Olimpico. The game, marked by exceptional personal performances, was decided by a single goal from Roma's Romelu Lukaku, assisted by Paulo Dybala just past the 22nd-minute mark of the first half.

Statistical analysis underlines the close, hard-fought nature of the contest. Both teams had only one shot each on target, which is rather unusual for Serie A games, illustrating effective defensive approaches and potentially fewer offensive risks taken on both sides. Similarly, each team also registered a single shot off target, emphasizing the scarcity of clear-cut scoring opportunities during the match.

Roma had the territorial advantage, as indicated by their superiority in corner kicks. With seven corners versus Frosinone's two, it's evident that Roma spent more time on the attacking front, pressing their opponents into a mostly defensive stance. Yet, they were unable to convert their continued pressure into more goals.

Both teams notched two offsides, suggesting relatively disciplined forward lines and well-executed defensive lines by both sides. Foul count was higher for Roma — 11 compared to Frosinone's 8. This could indicate a more aggressive game strategy by Roma, employing physical disruption to outplay their counterparts, but it also resulted in one yellow card for Rick Karsdorp, matching the one yellow card for Frosinone's Enzo Barrenechea. Fortunately, for both teams, the discipline didn't deteriorate into any red cards.

While the game was short on goals, it was balanced in many aspects. The victory was clinched by Roma, but it was by no means a one-sided affair. Lukaku's solitary goal made him the match-winner, capitalizing on a superb assist from Dybala - the only strong offensive performance evident on the night.

Without ignoring their relatively poor conversion rate, this match displayed that Roma's strength lies in their ability to maintain possession in the opponent's half and apply continuous pressure — a trait that served them well in this encounter. For Frosinone, they managed to limit Roma to only a single goal despite facing repeated attacks, showing an impressive defensive discipline, yet they will need to find ways to break out and threaten more at the other end of the pitch in the future.

In conclusion, the strategic game-styles, effective utilization of set-pieces, and most significantly Lukaku's goal, were the deciding factors in this tightly contested match.
