Roma’s first win is also their biggest ever Serie A victory (tied with the 10-1 win over Altay Izmir in the second leg of the 1962/63 Inter-City Fairs Cup). Rodolfo Volk was one of the high-scorers, bagging three goals. Volk secured his hat-trick and played up front with Luigi Ossoinach. The two forwards had another thing in common: they were both from Fiume (Rijeka). The other Roma goals were scored by Arturo Chini, Fulvio Bernardini and Oreste Benatti.

Exactly six years later, but this time against Lazio, Roma secured their 100^th win. Renato Cattaneo was the match winner. He wore the Giallorossi shirt for three seasons, tallying up seven goals in 43 appearances.

Here’s another funny coincidence: Roma’s 200^th win was also the first match played by the newly formed Sampdoria. Amedeo Amadei scored every Roma goal of the game. The Frascati-born player racked up 111 goals in 235 Roma matches.

Angelo Orazi was the scorer that brought Roma their 500^th victory, beating Napoli’s keeper, Giuseppe Porrino, in the 76th minute. Roma made it through at the Bentegodi despite playing over half the match with ten men as a result of Giorgio Morini’s red card. Roma’s goalkeeper, Paolo Conti, can also take some of the credit for the win. Having only just replaced Alberto Ginulfi, he saved a penalty by Verona’s Sergio Madde in the final four minutes of the game.

N° 600: Roma 5-2 Napoli, 20 February 1983

The Giallorossi’s 600^th win was also the biggest of the 1982/83 season. On the day that second-place Verona lost to Avellino and third-place Inter lost at home against Torino, Roma thrashed Napoli with goals from Sebastiano Nela, Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Pruzzo and Agostino Di Bartolomei, who scored a brace. This win took them five points clear of Hellas Verona and six points clear of Inter and Juventus with 10 matches left of the season at a time when two points were awarded for a win. Under Nils Liedholm’s stewardship, the Giallorossi won the title to give them their second Scudetto.

A sparkling performance by Roma ended in a 4-1 win over Inter. Antonio Cassano, Amatino Mancini, and our captain Francesco Totti all got themselves on the scoreboard. The Scudetto was already on its way to Milan, but Fabio Capello’s Giallorossi, who had won the title of ‘winter champions’, remained five points behind them.

N° 1000: Roma 3-1 Fiorentina, 20 September 2009

Daniele De Rossi’s excitement after the goal that briefly made it 3-0

Daniele De Rossi’s name couldn’t be missed out on the list of men who have contributed towards these milestone wins. The future captain scored Roma’s third goal of the game and awarded Claudio Ranieri his first win at the Olimpico, both his and Daniele’s home.

N° 1100: Roma 2-0 Milan, 25 April 2014

Miralem Pjanic’s goal celebration

After an extraordinary start with ten successive wins, Rudi Garcia’s Roma started to slow down and Juventus took the top spot in the table. The Giallorossi were still in second place and achieved a prestigious win over Milan at the Olimpico, marking their 1100th victory. Miralem Pjanic was a key player in this achievement, shaking off the Rossaneri defence to find the back of the net. Gervinho scored the second goal.

N° 1200: Roma 3-1 Sassuolo, 26 December 2018

Nicolò Zaniolo’s goal celebration

The penultimate milestone win came when Roma faced Sassuolo at the Olimpico just before the end of 2018. Diego Perotti opened the scoring, Patrik Schick doubled Roma’s lead and Niccolo Zaniolo saw his first Serie A goal.
