Jose Mourinho off to Serie A winning start as Roma secure victory at Salernitana with Bryan Cristante winner

Bryan Cristante’s goal was enough for Roma as they defeated Salernitana 1-0 on Sunday evening.

Roma were able name Paulo Dybala, a new signing, in the starting XI. The home side included Antonio Candreva (and Tonny Vilhena).

Both Dybala and Tottenham target Nicolo Zaniola impressed, but it was Cristante’s effort from the edge of the box that proved decisive.

Dybala and Zaniolo continued to press, while Jose Mourinho was able provide reinforcements in midfield with Georginio Wijnaldum and Nemanja Matic.

With a steely midfield presence, Mourinho took the three points as he looks to build on last season’s Europa Conference League victory.

After the game, the Portuguese stated that he liked everything, even if 5-0 or 4-0 would have been more comfortable.
