Recent encounters between these sides had produced contrasting afternoons, including a heavier loss in May for the visitors, yet this Serie A matchday 1 meeting at the Stadio Olimpico followed a familiar script. Roma controlled 61 percent of possession and accumulated an expected goals tally of 3.07, while Fiorentina managed just 0.35 from their nine total shots.

Pisilli rounded off the evening with a goal in the 86th minute.
Roma arrived at the opening round having finished 3rd in the competition last season with 73 points, and they extended a scoring streak that now reaches ten matches across all competitions. Fiorentina completed the previous season 15th with 42 points, though they entered this fixture on a three-match unbeaten run across all competitions that included a recent victory over Juventus.
