    • - Thanks for joining us tonight... what a night of Champions League football! See you next time!
    • 90' All over in Cluj! And Rome record a big 3-1 win to put them top of Group A!
    • 75' Totti's having a spot of handbags with Culio here... but that's all it is and nothing untoward comes to pass.
    • 64' GOAL! BRIGHI GRABS HIS SECOND OF THE NIGHT! Taddei slips a ball across to the Roma midfielder, who takes a touch before firing into the bottom left hand corner! 3-1 to the Giallorossi now!
    • 47' Oooh! Early chance for Cluj! But Kone glances a header from Perreira's cross wide of the mark!
    • 46' Here we go again in Cluj!
    • 45' Half time in Romania and it's Roma who have the lead, but still plenty to play for!
    • 39' Chance for Cluj to grab an equaliser! But Kone fires wide of the mark as he meets a low driven cross at the near post!
    • 38' Oooh! Taddei glances a header just wide of the upright from Julio Baptista's cross!
    • 30' GOAL! Kone pulls one back for Cluj! Perreira stabs a shot goalwards and Doni can only fumble into the path of Kone, who nods home from close range! 1-2 now!
    • 23' GOAL! TOTTI MAKES IT TWO! And what a free-kick it is from the Roma captain! He finds the top right hand corner from fully 30 yards out!
    • 19' Trica! Must be! No! What a miss! The Cluj midfielder somehow drags his shot wide of the post when the ball finds him unmarked at the far post! That should have been the equaliser!
    • 17' Culio brings Doni into action with a crisp strike from outside the box!
    • 11' GOAL! Brighi opens the scoring for Roma! Perrotta hares onto a long ball at the by-line before prodding the ball back for the onrushing Brighi to tap home! 1-0 Roma!
    • 3' Cluj with an early corner in Romania... it causes a few problems in the Roma defence... and in the end Doni is forced to tip over the bar for another one... this time it's dealt with, but good early pressure from the hosts.
    • 1' And we're off in Romania!
    • - Tonight's referee is Lucilio Cardoso Cortez Batista of Portugal.
    • - And the Giallorossi: Doni, Cassetti, Juan, Mexes, Tonetto, De Rossi, Taddei, Brighi, Perrotta, Totti, Julio Baptista. Subs: Artur, Pizarro, Vucinic, Loria, Riise, Montella, Menez
    • - The teams are in... here's how Cluj line up: Stancioiu, Panin, Cadu, De Souza, Pereira, Dani, Muresan, Dubarbier, Trica, Culio, Yssouf Kone. Subs: Nuno Claro, Peralta, Hugo Alcantara, Deac, Emmanuel Kone, Ruiz
    • - A Roma win coupled with a draw between Chelsea and Bordeaux will see the Serie A side top Group A by the end of tonight.
    • - Both teams can still progress from Group A, but defeat for Cluj tonight will see the Romanians' hopes of making it into the last 16 dashed.
