AS Roma kicked off their Europa League campaign with a solid 2-1 away victory over Nice, with their defense providing the crucial goals to secure the win.
After a goalless first half, the match burst into life just minutes after the break. Roma took the lead in the 52nd minute when defender Evan Ndicka scored. Just three minutes later, another defender, Gianluca Mancini, doubled the lead with a well-taken goal.
Nice, playing in front of their home crowd, fought back. Their efforts were rewarded in the 76th minute when Nigerian striker Terem Moffi converted a penalty to halve the deficit. The late goal set up a tense finish, but Roma's defense held firm, ensuring they took all three points on the road. The win gives Roma a strong start to their European season, while Nice will be disappointed to start their campaign with a home defeat.
