Lazio vs AS Roma Highlights

In the back drop of the disaster that shook the whole nation just a few days ago, the Stadio Olimpico in Roma was filled to the brim with excited supporters who had come to watch the 132nd Derby della Capitale—and they were treated with an thrilling contest where SS Lazio defeated AS Roma, 4-2.

Expectations were high for obvious reasons as the teams walked out on the field for the afternoon’s highly anticipated “Derby della Capitale”

Roma icon Francesco Totti declared late yesterday that he would be able to play in the crucial game and was started the game.

Last week Roma put an end to their win less streak after a brace from captain Totti, whereas Lazio went on to collect their third consecutive defeat. Then again, Lazioproved that form matters little in games like these.

AS Roma vs Juventus Highlights: Serie A Highlights

Juventus are now within four points of Serie A leaders Inter Milan with a comprehensive 4-1 victory away to Roma tonight.

Vincenzo Iaquinta scored a brace with Olof Mellberg and Pavel Nedved also joining the scoring fest for Claudio Ranieri’s side, who showed no mercy for a depleted Roma side.

Roma’s consolation goal came from Simone Loria, who responded to the first of Iaquinta’s goals to bring the home side level three minutes into the second half, but there was no way back after Iaquinta grabbed his and Juve’s second in the 55th minute.

League leaders Inter host Reggina tomorrow and can restore their seven-point lead at the top of the table with a win while Roma will slip five points behind fourth place if either Genoa or Fiorentina win tomorrow.

Roma were without 11 members of their first-team squad due to injury and suspension, leaving coach Luciano Spalletti with a tough task just to get 11 fit players on the pitch.

He succeeded, but that was the only battle he won on a torrid night at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma lost Marco Motta to a second yellow card after 62 minutes, but leveled with a penalty from Baptista in the 70th minute to take a point back to the capital with them.
