MILAN (Interstat) — AS Roma U20 scored once in each half and defeated Inter U20 2-0 in a Primavera 1 match Friday at the KONAMI Youth Development Centre in Memory of Giacinto Facchetti. Filippo Basile put the visitors ahead in the 33rd minute, and Antonio Arena doubled the lead in the 59th. Inter, the home side, could not find a response despite playing at its own youth development facility. Roma’s win ended a run of three matches without a victory and gave the visitors a second win in their past five league games. The first half ended with Roma leading 1-0, and the visitors added their second goal after the break.

Basile and Arena were the central figures for Roma. Both played the full 90 minutes and scored once. Basile’s opener gave Roma control before halftime. Arena’s second-half goal extended the advantage and left Inter needing two goals to respond. Roma’s clean sheet preserved the result. The visitors held their shape after taking the two-goal lead and kept Inter from scoring. Inter could not convert its chances into a goal, and Roma closed out the match without conceding.

The result moved AS Roma U20’s record in the competition to four wins, one loss and four draws. Its record across all competitions is identical. Inter U20’s competition record is now six wins, one loss and three draws, and its all-competitions record also stands at six wins, one loss and three draws.
