By beating Lecce this Tuesday, Roma regained 4th place in Serie A, qualifying for the Champions League.
AS Rome, too strong for Lecce (2-0), returned to 4th place in the Italian Championship on Tuesday from which it had briefly been dislodged, with its success in Pisa (3-0), Como which is entering the race for the Champions League.
Roma signed their first away victory since November 23 thanks to the third goal in Serie A from Irishman Evan Ferguson (14th) and Artem Dovbyk (71st). The Giallorossi now have 36 points and are back one step from the podium, but they have played two more matches than the top trio, Inter, leader with 39 points, AC Milan (2nd, 38 pts) and Naples (3rd, 37 pts).

If Roma will undoubtedly have difficulty getting involved until the end in the race for the scudetto, undecided, it can aim for 4th place, the last qualifier for the next C1. But in addition to Juventus Turin (6th, 33 pts), opposed in the evening to Sassuolo, they will have to be wary of Como. In Pisa, the team coached by former Spanish international Cesc Fabregas scored a third consecutive victory in the championship thanks to Maximo Perrone (68th) and a double from Anastasios Douvikas (76th, 90th + 6 on penalty).
His French goalkeeper Jean Butez, one of the revelations of the season in Italy, saved a penalty in the 84th minute. “I never look at the rankings, even though a member of my staff told me to look at them today after our victory. That doesn’t interest me,” Fabregas brushed off.
The Lombard club, whose Indonesian owners, the Hartono brothers, are among the richest billionaires on the planet, has a match in hand compared to Roma and Juve, against AC Milan, which it will play on March 15. Promoted Pisa, which has only won once in 19 days, remains last, with 12 points, like Fiorentina (19th) and Verona (18th).
