Koulierakis's post reflected that relief, with the Greek centre-back stressing that the side's displays had finally been rewarded. Koulierakis wrote: "Finalmente il risultato che le nostre prestazioni meritavano. E continuiamo così", which translates as: "Finally the result our performances deserved. And we keep going like this."

Roma's Under-18s side, coached by Christian Terlizzi, won the Derby della Capitale against Lazio 2-1, securing the first derby of the season and lifting the team after a difficult start to the campaign.

Roma struck early, taking the lead after three minutes from a corner, with Florio finding the net with a left-foot finish to make it 1-0. Lazio levelled shortly before half-time through Zero, but the equaliser was not enough. Roma came out sharply after the break and restored their lead through Di Mascio, who secured the decisive second goal. Lazio pushed hard in the closing stages but could not change the result, and Roma celebrated the win at the Salaria Sport Village. The victory, coached by Christian Terlizzi and marking Roma's first derby of the season, came as a welcome response to a complicated opening to the Under-18 campaign. Lazio were coached by Lombardi.
