Roma's pre-season tour of England ended in disappointment on August 8 with a 3–0 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Georginio Rutter opened the scoring in the 29th minute following a missed one-on-one chance by Wesley moments earlier, with Yasin Ayari adding two goals to seal a heavy defeat. The loss capped a difficult week for Gian Piero Gasperini's side after an earlier loss to Cardiff City, though an improved display against Newport had offered brief respite. Il Romanista attributes the collapse partly to Wesley's missed opportunity, which triggered a counter-attack and apparent psychological shift that Brighton exploited through pace and directness. The outlet noted Roma's defensive disorganisation and lack of clinical finishing, with Svilar making several key saves to limit the margin further. Il Romanista adds that the squad returned to Rome the following evening and has been granted two full days of rest before resuming training on Tuesday. Roma's next test comes on August 15 against Borussia Dortmund, a fixture Gasperini will use to rebuild confidence before the competitive season begins.
