Roma derby win puts Champions League spot within reach
Gianluca Mancini scored two headers from corner kicks to give Roma a 2-0 victory over Lazio in a heated city derby on Sunday. The win moves Roma into fourth place in the Italian league, putting them close to qualifying for next season's Champions League. The match at the Stadio Olimpico was tense and physical, with both teams finishing with 10 players. Mancini’s first goal came in the first half, and he added the second after the break, both from set pieces. Roma’s victory was helped by a surprise result elsewhere: Juventus lost 2-0 at home to Fiorentina. In other matches, AC Milan beat Genoa 2-1, and Napoli secured a top-four finish with a 3-0 win at Pisa.
