Roma Stuns Pisa 3-0, Malen’s Hat‑Trick Revives Champions League Push
Roma Beats Pisa 3-0 at the Olimpico
Malen’s hat‑trick headlines the win
Dutch forward Donyell Malen delivered a personal masterclass, scoring three times in the first half as Roma demolished bottom‑placed Pisa 3‑0 on April 10, 2026. The goals came at the 12th, 43rd and 52nd minutes, each a showcase of speed, finish and poise.
Tactical shift pays off
Coach José Gasperi’s substitution of Malen for the second half cemented the result and quieted critics after a recent loss to Inter. Goalkeeper Gianluca Svilar kept a clean sheet, while Federico Pellegrini’s free‑kick rattled the post.
Implications for the title race
The victory lifts Roma to 57 points, level with Juventus and just one point behind third‑placed Como, which has a game in hand. The win re‑opens Roma’s Champions League aspirations as the club eyes upcoming clashes with Atalanta‑Juventus and Como‑Inter.
Pisa’s season in tatters
Pisa remain rooted at the foot of the table with 18 points, their relegation battle now looking inevitable after the heavy defeat.
