Argentinian scores first goal of 2025 in 1-0 win in VeniceSecond-half penalty came after Angeliño was tripped
Paulo Dybala scored his first goal of 2025 to help a much-changed Roma team to a 1-0 win at relegation-threatened Venezia in Serie A on Sunday.
Dybala powerfully converted a second-half penalty after his teammate Angeliño was tripped by the Venezia defender Alessandro Marcandalli. The Roma manager, Claudio Ranieri, had opted to rotate his team ahead of Thursday’s Europa League playoff first leg against Porto.
Roma remained ninth in Serie A. Their city rivals Lazio can move back up to fourth with a win over bottom club Monza later. Venezia were second from bottom, three points above Monza and five below safety. Napoli will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table when they host Udinese.
