Roma win 21st game with one-goal difference in 2025

Roma beat Midtjylland and are back in contention for direct qualification to the Europa League round of 16.

Neil El Aynaoui, his first goal for the Giallorossi, and Stephan El Shaarawy secured the victory for the Giallorossi.

The Danes gave Gian Piero Gasperini a late scare, but Paulinho’s goal wasn’t enough for the group leaders.

The Danes remain top of the table with 12 points, while Roma are on nine.

With the 2-1 win at Midtylland, Roma secured their twentieth one-goal win in 2025.

They have won eight times by a single goal this season under Gian Piero Gasperini.

Last season, they had twelve under Claudio Ranieri. In the top five leagues, only Real Madrid has done better than the Giallorossi: 23 one-goal wins in 2025 for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, first, and Xabi Alonso’s, now.
