The match of February 26, 2024, witnessed AS Roma prevailing over Torino with a close win of 3-2 in Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico. Nevertheless, the data and statistics reveal the strength of both teams with interesting insights.

AS Roma scored an early lead with the first goal by Paulo Dybala in 41:15 minutes in the first half via a penalty. His performance was outstanding as he scored all three winning goals, having also been assisted by Bryan Cristante and later on by Romelu Lukaku in the second half which consolidated their lead at 3-1. The timely assists by Cristante and Lukaku point toward excellent teamwork and played a key role in the victorious outcome for the home team.

Torino, however, didn't trail far behind. Duvan Zapata equalized the score at 1-1 in the first half with the assist of Raoul Bellanova at the 44th-minute mark. The second goal for Torino, albeit an own goal by Dean Huijsen, came too late in the second half at 1:28:09 minutes to swing the game in their favor.

Despite having lesser shots on target (3) compared to Torino's 6, AS Roma was more efficient with their attempts. Both teams had an equal number of 2 Yellow cards each, as Torino played a relatively aggressive match with 16 fouls compared to AS Roma's 12. However, this aggressive strategy did not serve the visiting team well, given AS Roma's disciplined defensive gameplay. Notably, AS Roma did not opt for any corner kicks, while Torino managed to win 4 corners, but failed to convert any into goals.

Goalkeeper performance was also a decisive factor for the match. The home goalkeeper's lower save ratio is attributed to AS Roma's robust defense that reduced Torino’s shooting accuracy, which reflected in Torino’s higher number of shots off target (8) compared to AS Roma's 3. Torino's 1 Offside showcase their tactical gameplay but unfortunately, it didn’t result in any significant advantage.

To conclude, although Torino showed a promising game with their aggressive strategies and high numbers of shots, AS Roma tactically outplayed them with effective possession, accurate shots on target, and disciplined defensive playing. The team's excellent collaboration and the hat-trick from Paulo Dybala were notably the significant factors that led to AS Roma's successful performance.
