MILAN (AP) \u2014 Argentinian forward Giovanni Simeone scored his first Serie A goal in more than a year to help Torino to a surprise 1-0 win at Roma on Sunday.<\/p>\n

It was Torino\u2019s first win of the season under new coach Marco Baroni and Roma\u2019s first loss after two 1-0 victories in Gian Piero Gasperini\u2019s first two matches in charge.<\/p>\n

Simeone \u2014 the son of Atl\u00e9tico Madrid coach Diego Simeone \u2014 joined Torino from Italian champion Napoli last month. And he opened his account in stunning fashion in the 59th minute, starting and finishing the move.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old got past his marker to spark a counter and then played a one-two with Cyril Ngonge, getting on the return pass to curl a magnificent strike into the top-right corner.<\/p>\n

Simeone last scored in the Italian league in August 2024.<\/p>\n

Gasperini\u2019s former team, Atalanta, was playing Lecce later and looking for its first win of the season after opening with two draws.<\/p>\n

AC Milan was playing host to Bologna in a match that could see Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe line up against each other following a locker room bust-up that forced them both out of Marseille last month.<\/p>\n

Also later, it\u2019s: Pisa vs. Udinese and Sassuolo vs. Lazio.<\/p>\n
