    Time:90'
    • Roma
    • Bordeaux
    • 90 FULL-TIME: Roma step on the gas in the second half to seal the win that books their passage as group winners.
    • 84 Jussie fires a right footed shot from outside the box wide, but Bordeaux have lost their spirit here.
    • 78 ROMA HAVE A SECOND! Totti blasts a low shot from the edge of the box inside the far post after a swift break down the middle!
    • 69 David Bellion forward replaces Wendel for Bordeaux as the visitors try to get back into the match.
    • 61 ROMA TAKE THE LEAD! Brighi breaks the deadlock! The midfielder fires home from close-range!
    • 55 A Cluj equaliser at Stamford Bridge means that Bordeaux are just one goal from really upsetting the apple cart!
    • 52 Riise intercepts and plays a nice one-two...but just can't get on the end of Totti's chipped through-ball...
    • 50 Marouane Chamakh flashes a shot just wide of the near post after collecting a fine defensive header from Riise at the back post...nervous moment for Roma
    • 46 The second half is underway...can Bordeaux get the goal that would throw this match wide open again?
    • 45 HALF-TIME: Tense, scrappy game here...Roma will be through if it stays a stalemate in the second half...
    • 45 Very important clearance from Diawara, who slides in and puts a low cross - heading into the path of Baptista - behind for a corner.
    • 44 Bordeaux win a corner...curled into the near post...Juan heads clear.
    • 42 There have been a lot of little fouls in this match that have broken up play...22 free-kicks so far, and there is no flow to the game.
    • 40 No sign of an opener here; Chelsea are leading, which means Roma would be through as things stand.
    • 34 Julio Baptista tries a through ball, but Jérémy Menez is caught offside.
    • 31 Neither side can find a way through as yet; very tense, and for good reason - there is qualification riding on this match.
    • 25 Mathieu Chalmé is booked for a cynical block on Brighi as Roma attempt to break.
    • 24 Bordeaux win a corner...curled into the middle...cheeky flick from Wendel, but his effort is blocked.
    • 22 Wendel is just caught offside as he tries to get on the end of a curling cross into the back post...decent stuff from the French side, who are more than holding their own here.
    • 20 The home bench are upset not to see a card as Matteo Brighi is clattered by Matthieu Chalmé.
    • 18 OVER! Simone Perrotta curls an effort just over the bar...Ulrich Rame was worried for a moment, there.
    • 13 Roma win a free-kick out on the left...nothing comes of it. Not good play from set-pieces so far from the home side.
    • 8 Julio Baptista blasts a free-kick from outside the box high and wide to the left; not a great effort.
    • 4 Julio Baptista tests the Bordeaux keeper with a low effort, saved at the near post.
    • 3 Yoann Gourcuff blasts a right-foot shot a couple of yards over the bar from 25 yards...
    • 1 OFF WE GO!
    • - The Montenegrin's absence did not hinder Roma at the weekend though, with Jeremy Menez's goal handing the Eternal City giants a 1-0 triumph.
    • - Roma Forward Mirko Vucinic is only fit enough for a place on the bench, having failed to recover from a right knee injury which saw him miss Saturday's league game at Chievo.
    • - Julio Baptista starts up front for the home side, with talisman Totti just behind him.
    • - Hello; welcome to live commentary as Bordeaux travel to Roma for a crucial Champions League Group A showdown...
