90+4' FULL-TIME! Udinese and Roma share the spoils, with the away side struggling to capitalise on the sending-off of Heurtaux.- 90+2' Almost another chance for Lamela who collects a free-kick after Silva misses the header clear completely but the defender recovers to capitalise on the Argentine's poor first touch.
- 90+1' Should be said Osvaldo could have laid it off to Torosidis who would have had an open goal.
- 90' Four minutes of stoppage time.
89' BIG CHANCE ROMA! Balzaretti wins the ball back, plays a 1-2 with De Rossi and squares for Osvaldo who lifts his effort over the outrushing Brkic and wide. Should have won it there.- 88' Udinese clear their lines from the flag kick. Really haven't had to deal with much pressure with a man less today.
- 87' Torosidis almost catches Brkic off-guard with a cross-cum-shot which the keeper ends up pushing out for a corner.
86' Federico Balzaretti replaces Marquinho in a very common Roma sub and the last switch of the match.- 85' Allan is tripped by Perrotta but the hosts can't make an attack from the 35-yard set piece.
- 84' And moments later, Udinese use their final sub with Mathias Ranegie on for Di Natale.
- 83' Second Roma switch as Florenzi makes way for Nicolas Lopez.
- 82' Domizzi fouls Perrotta. It's risky business as he's already booked and his side have lost Heurtaux already.
- 80' Lamela talks Marquinho down from it and will take. It's on target... but Brkic sees it coming and catches.
- 79' Marquinho down inside the 'D' and this time it was a clear foul by Domizzi. Big chance from the set piece for a potential winner, here.
- 77' Guida has a reputation for awarding penalties and it seems as though both teams have tried to exploit that, but Guida has had none of it.
76' Torosidis down again in the box! Guida blows up and... books him for a dive. That's three simulation bookings in this game.- 75' Goalscorer Muriel is sacrificed to get another defender on. That defender is Gabriele Angella. Udinese have one sub remaining.
- 74' Replays show that was a very naughty lunge. He obviously thought he was getting there first easily but was beaten for pace by Florenzi, who receives treatment for the knock to the leg.
73' RED CARD UDINESE! Heurtaux off for a dangerous studs challenge!- 71' Osvaldo with a petulant foul after Torosidis has penalty claims washed away. No booking though.
- 70' Roberto Pereyra is the man coming on and he replaces Maicosuel.
- 69' Looks like Udinese will make their first switch soon too.
- 68' Roma are holding their shape well to try and contain this good spell from the home team.
- 67' Basta gets to the right-hand byline but Burdisso does well to cut out his attempt to pull it back for a finish.
- 66' Di Natale then almost pounces on a defensive error, but has nobody in support.
- 65' Raking pass in search of Di Natale's run is too fierce for the veteran and goes out for a goal kick.
- 63' Florenzi enters the book for a foul on Badu.
62' GOAL UDINESE! Luis Muriel puts it through the legs of Stekelenburg! Great time to score too, they'll have the momentum for this final half hour. 1-1!- 60' And it's Totti coming off. He's booked and hasn't exactly kept a cool head with decisions, so not an unwise move. On comes Pablo Osvaldo.
- 58' Roma are preparing their first switch. Looks like Osvaldo will be coming on.
- 57' Roma have a corner which Basta conceded, but it comes to nothing.
- 56' Lamela frees Florenzi on the left and his delightful floated cross is headed over by Marquinho, who should have done better with that.
- 54' Maicosuel with a decent effort but he sends it straight at Stekelenburg from 15 yards.
- 53' Dangerous ball sent in by Domizzi but Castan has it covered and lets Stekelenburg claim.
- 52' Lamela and Florenzi have switched roles and it's working okay for the time being.
- 51' Plenty of home players protesting that but after missing the ball with a shot attempt he threw himself to the grass. Zero contact.
- 50' Domizzi goes down in the box and that fooled nobody. Yellow card for diving.
- 48' Apart from that, this is a good start to the half from the hosts.
- 47' Florenzi embarks on a run and has a foot or two on Badu, but gets off his shot early to evade being caught and flashes it wide.
46' Referee Marco Guida gets us back up and running as Roma kick off the second half.- 45+1' Sixty seconds of stoppage time and we have the whistle. Roma lead at Udinese 1-0 going into the break.
- 45' Totti swings his arms in an aerial and is booked for catching Danilo. Totti's not pleased with that but it's pretty clear.
- 44' Torosidis has his heels clipped by Gabriel Silva. It's a nasty one but he's ok to continue.
- 43' Maicosuel is the first player to enter the book for a dive.
- 41' Di Natale sees Badu's dinked ball over the defence is falling behind him, so he tries a scorpion kick. It fails. Shame he couldn't at least connect, would have been awesome.
- 40' Roma with another counter-attack but Totti's square pass to De Rossi leads to the midfielder scuffing his shot wide.
- 38' Totti's corner is over the entire crowd in the box and out for a goal kick. Oops.
- 37' Lamela bursts past the entire backline on the left but Udinese catch up with him and he settles for winning a corner off Danilo.
- 36' ...but that's a terrible effort from Dusan, who is another player not on the boil in this one thus far.
- 35' Free-kick Udinese in a decent area, 30 yards from goal. Basta is standing over it...
- 34' Looked like he bought that free-kick, judging by the replays.
- 33' Maicosuel almost slips through a crowd of red shirts but Perrotta rescues the situation and wins the foul off the midfielder.
- 32' Now an offside for Di Natale, who is furious over the decision.
- 30' Di Natale almost touches a ball into the box towards Badu, but they are outnumbered and unable to conjure a shot on goal.
- 28' Roma break but again see the flag. This time it's Torosidis offside from the Lamela through ball.
- 27' Udinese now finally starting to string a few passes together again, as they did in the opening 10.
- 26' Neat dummy by Leandro but Florenzi is offside when Totti slips the ball over.
- 25' Chance for Totti almost, but he's a little too keen and whiffs the strike.
- 23' Silva, who isn't with it at the moment, fouls Florenzi.
- 22' Roma took a while to get going but have pounced on complacency at the back for the home side.
- 20' GOAL ROMA! Silva makes a terrible error allowing Totti to bend in a cross for Florenzi to head against the bar, and Lamela tucks in the rebound from a tight angle with aplomb. 0-1!
- 19' Totti catches Udinese napping with a quickly-taken free-kick to Florenzi, whose shot is saved by the legs of Brkic!
- 18' Lamela is lucky to escape a booking with a rough foul on Domizzi in the middle of the park.
- 17' Perrotta snuffs out Badu's attempt to cut the ball inside to Muriel.
- 15' Udinese get this one away but Roma are keeping the ball a bit better now and are stringing together some decent possession.
- 14' Brkic unconvincingly punches the delivery over his own byline for another corner from the opposite flank.
- 13' Florenzi, Roma's sole bright spark in the early stages, wins the visitors a corner.
- 12' Danilo tries to send Maicosuel free but Burdisso has it covered.
- 10' Scrappiness continues as Totti clips Danilo.
- 9' Offside against Silva as Brkic kicks the ball long. Not a good start to the game, really, outside of the Di Natale chance.
- 7' Basta brings down Marquinho just inside the Roma half.
- 6' ...but it's soon with Brkic.
- 5' Basta now caught offside and Roma attack quickly from the free-kick...
- 4' Badu is almost threaded through but again the Dutch keeper is to the rescue.
- 3' Early chance for Di Natale! He finds space in the box to receive a short pass and force a good parry from Stekelenburg!
- 2' Slow tentative start but it's the home side looking the most comfortable.
1' The home side kick off the first half.- 19:40 Players will be out shortly. Got any predictions you want to share? Hit me up on Twitter @liamhappe - we'll publish them here if you follow me and tweet your comments over.
