    Time:90'
    • Cagliari
    • Roma
    • 90+3 It's all over and Roma have been held by a plucky Cagliari side. They had plenty of chances, but could not convert them into goals. The gap is closed to three points, with Inter playing against Lazio shortly.
    • 90+1 Mancini goes down in the box - appeals for a penalty. There was nothing in it. Good decision by the ref.
    • 89' Three minutes injury time to be played.
    • 85' Clock running down - is time running out on Roma's title bid? They keep pressing. Mancini concedes a free-kick deep in Cagliari territory - he's NOT HAPPY
    • 83' It's ALL HAPPENING. Cassetti gets a yellow card. Meanwhile, Mancini's far-post cross finds Totti - who heads downward...STORARI SAVES ON THE LINE...Roma are incensed, they're claiming it was over. Replays show it probably wasn't.
    • 80' Biondini, Acquafresca and Del Grosso are on for Cagliari - CINCINHO HITS ONE FOR ROMA...JUST OVER!!!!
    • 70' Aquilani comes on for Roma, replacing Matteo Brighi.
    • 65' Roma are pressing again...and GUILY fire in another shot...just wide.
    • 60' Totti is holding his hamstring - not a good sign for Roma. But then, seconds later he sends a lovely ball through to Guily - OFFSIDE.
    • 57' Free-kick to Cagliari - on their left deep in Roma's half. Roma deal with the danger but it comes straight back with Canini.
    • 49' Marco Cassetti replaces Tonetto for Roma...the game's gone a little quiet.
    • 49' Guily gets a shot away...good save from Storari.
    • 46' We're under way in the second half...all square and everything to play for.
    • 45' Half-time in Cagliari - and Roma have cancelled out Ferrari's own goal with Totti's long-range strike.
    • 45' GOOOOALL ROMA!!! Totti wins a free-kick fully 30 yards out. He takes it himself and it finds the bottom corner. IT'S BEEN COMING!!! 1-1
    • 41' Great run from Tonetto - he speeds to the by-line and earns a corner. Totti takes it, and FERRARI ALMOST GETS HIS SECOND OF THE EVENING. His diving header is JUST OVER
    • 35' Free-kick to Roma - 30 yards out. Totti takes aim. Against the wall!
    • 32' Corner for Cagliari..CANINI GETS TO THE NEAR POST...His header is just wide.
    • 30' Pizarro shoots - good save from Storrari.
    • 26' Michele Fini with a lovely piece of skill for Cagliari - spinning away from a tackle to feed the ball forward. Totti-esque!
    • 24' MANCINI AGAIN!!! This time he did brilliantly, cutting in from the left to fire a low shot against the upright. Roma are getting closer!
    • 22' MANCINI.....HOW DID HE MISS!!!! Totti's flick somehow reached him at the far post, but he blazed over with the goal gaping! Roma are really on top now.
    • 20' Foggia looks for a second to be through for Cagliari - Doni clamly sweeps up the danger.
    • 16' This is more like it from Roma. Totti is starting to pull the strings - corner on their left, Roma's third. Handbags in the area...Cagliari clear. Yellow card for Tonetto for a tug.
    • 14' Pizarro shapes...GREAT HIT! But it's just over. Roma are frantic - they look desperate already.
    • 6' Roma are stunned - that was really a comedy of errors. Exactly the start they DID NOT want.
    • 2' WHAT A TERRIBLE START FOR ROMA!!! Matteo Ferrari scores an own goal and Cagliari take a surprise lead!
    • 1' We're under way in Cagliari - can Roma close the gap on Inter at the top of Serie A?
