Roma secured a dramatic 4–2 victory over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico, while Como scored three late goals to defeat Torino 3–1 in an entertaining night of Serie A action on Tuesday. Both matches produced late drama, with the winning teams showing their attacking quality when it mattered most.

Cagliari made a perfect start in Rome when M’Bala Nzola converted a penalty in the 10th minute. Roma responded quickly, with Emanuele Lulli heading home Nahuel Molina’s cross five minutes later. Lulli then turned provider, setting up Nicolò Pisilli to put the hosts ahead in the 21st minute. Cagliari continued to threaten after the break and were rewarded when Daniel Maldini equalised in the 81st minute, setting up a tense finish.

Roma ultimately found another gear in the closing stages. Rodrigo Mora restored the hosts’ lead with a header in the 85th minute, before Donyell Malen sealed the 4–2 win two minutes later. The result gave Gian Piero Gasperini’s side three important points after a difficult contest against a determined Cagliari team.

Meanwhile, Como produced an impressive comeback to defeat Torino 3–1 away from home. Che Adams gave the hosts the lead in the 24th minute, and Torino looked on course to extend their winning run. However, Jacobo Ramón equalised in the 81st minute, Nico Paz headed Como in front six minutes later, and Martin Baturina completed the turnaround in stoppage time. The three late goals secured a valuable victory for Como and left Torino disappointed after surrendering their advantage.
