ROME (AP) \u2014 Brazilian full-back Wesley Fran\u00e7a scored the only goal as Roma defeated Como 1-0 on Monday to move within three points of Serie A leaders Inter Milan.<\/p>\n

Franca, who joined from Flamengo in the summer, gave Roma the breakthrough just after the hour mark when he received a pass from Matthias Soule and fired a low shot at the far post.<\/p>\n

Until then, matches at the Stadio Olimpico had been unremarkable.<\/p>\n

The first half was an even affair, with the defense having the upper hand, with Como’s Jean Butes, the only goalkeeper, making some saves.<\/p>\n

The second half got a little more exciting, with Brian Cristante’s goal canceled out for the home team.<\/p>\n

However, chances were few and there were no further goals, but this will not be a concern for Roma, who have overcome their recent slump to move into fourth place.<\/p>\n

Como remained in seventh place, six points behind. It was Cesc Fabregas’ team’s second consecutive defeat, both of which were to teams higher up in the table.<\/p>\n
