Roma coach Ivan Juric may have saved his job with a 1-0 win over Torino in Serie A on Thursday, The Associated Press reported.
Juric had been under pressure after Roma was routed 5-1 by Fiorentina on Sunday.
But Paulo Dybala scored a first-half goal for Roma and the Giallorossi hung on to end a three-game winless streak in the Italian league.
Juric replaced the fired Daniele De Rossi last month.
Roma moved up to 12th while Torino remained ninth.
Fiorentina moves up to 4th place Fiorentina moved up to fourth place with a 1-0 victory at last-place Genoa for its sixth straight win across all competitions.
Robin Gosens scored midway through the second half and Fiorentina goalkeeper David De Gea made a leaping save in the final minutes.
Mario Balotelli, who signed with Genoa on Monday, wasn’t ready to play yet.
Also, fifth-place Lazio won 5-1 at promoted Como with two goals from Valentin Castellanos as both sides ended with 10 men.
Luca Mazzitelli scored for Como with a spectacular bicycle kick.

Ronaldo Misses Late Penalty as Al-Nassr Eliminated from Saudi Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a stoppage-time penalty and Al-Nassr was eliminated from the King’s Cup in a 1-0 loss to Al-Taawoun on Tuesday.
The five-time Ballon D’Or winner has yet to win a major trophy since signing for the club almost two years ago.
Playing at the round-of-16 stage of Saudi Arabia’s premier knockout competition, Al-Taawoun took the lead on Waleed Al-Ahmad's header with 20 minutes remaining. Al-Ahmad was then whistled for a foul in the area in the 95th minute.
Ronaldo had converted all 18 of his previous penalties for Al-Nassr but this time shot over the bar to the shock of the home crowd of 14,519.
The defeat is the first for Stefano Pioli since the Italian succeeded Luis Castro as head coach in September.
Ronaldo and Al-Nassr still have two chances at silverware this season but are already six points behind leader Al-Hilal after eight games of the Saudi Pro League and have seven points from three games in the group stage of the Asian Champions League.
“Technically we performed well but we couldn’t win the game,” Pioli said. “We feel disappointed to be out of the cup. But we still have two trophies to go for and we will give our best in them.”
