Roma secured a 4-2 victory over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, but the scoreline flattered the hosts after a tense and unpredictable contest that saw the visitors fight back from two goals down.

The Giallorossi had won just one of their previous five matches and looked nervous early on, though they managed to build a lead. Cagliari, battling near the bottom of the table, refused to fold and clawed their way back to 2-2, silencing the home crowd and raising the prospect of another frustrating result for the capital club.

With the match hanging in the balance, Donyell Malen restored Roma's advantage before Rodrigo Mora sealed the win late on. The goals came at a crucial moment for a side that has struggled for consistency this season.

The result lifts Roma's spirits ahead of a demanding run of fixtures, while Cagliari will take encouragement from their resilience despite leaving empty-handed. For the home side, the performance raised questions about their defensive solidity even as the attacking display delivered the points.
