Roma 3-2 Lazio

Roma came through a rough-and-tumble derby today with a valuable three points while Lazio's defeat means that they no longer have any hope of qualifying for the semi-finals.
Pietro put i giallorossi ahead after 6 minutes and Filippo made a fantastic tackle on the line three minutes later to preserve the slender lead.
Roma made it 2-0 shortly afterwards when Cristian finished off a move that had begun with a pass out of defence from Elias, but Lazio were not giving up easily.
Whereas Roma had dominated the early stages of the game, Lazio now started to take over in midfield and their attacks increased in frequency and intensity. With typical derby rivalry, Filippo and Cristian both picked up yellow cards for Roma and Lazio's captain was booked too.
Lazio's determination was rewarded when Paul followed up an Alex shot and, in the ensuing scramble, managed to hook the ball past Marco with a back heel.
Now Roma looked even more nervous in defence and, when Alex put them to the test with a crossfield run and a ball into the box, Ricky was first to react and he hammered it into the roof of the net to make it 2-2  with just 1 minute left on the clock.
With Roma in possession, Lazio could have slowed it down and taken a point but a foul on Cristian gave Roma one more chance. Cristian lined up the free kick and, just like Ronaldo versus Spain, he knew what he had to do and he did it: his shot was too powerful for Ale in goal and Roma took the three points.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Alex D 5, Cristian 4, Pietro N 3, Ricky 3, Filippo 2, Giacomo 2, Paul 2
