Donyell Malen stole the spotlight in Rome as AS Roma, under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini, delivered a commanding performance against Pisa at the Stadio Olimpico. The Dutch forward produced a clinical hat-trick, turning the contest into a one-sided affair and underlining his growing influence in the squad.

The hosts wasted no time asserting control. Inside the opening minutes, Malen fired a fierce strike into the top corner to set the tone, leaving the visitors rattled and chasing the game from the outset. Roma dictated the tempo throughout, moving the ball with confidence and precision.

Just before the break, Malen doubled the lead, calmly finishing after a delicate assist from Devyne Rensch. Any hopes of a comeback were extinguished early in the second half when the forward completed his hat-trick in the 52nd minute, latching onto a perfectly weighted pass from Matías Soulé.
