    Time:90'
    • Napoli
    • Roma
    • 90' There goes the final whistle! And Roma take all three pionts in Naples to cut Inter's lead back down to six points!
    • 81' Roma look like they've got this one wrapped up now... they weathered that mini-storm well...
    • 72' Pizarro is on for Aquilani...
    • 70' Domizzi goes into the book for trying to emulate former Napoli player Diego Maradona by fisting the ball into the back of the net!
    • 66' Napoli are on the ascendency here! Gargano lets fly from distance... it's over the bar, but Roma have a storm to weather here.
    • 64' Oooh! Domizzi bursts into the box and lets fly! Good stop from Doni! This is encouraging from Napoli!
    • 63' Napoli make a change... Calaio for Mannini.
    • 63' GOAL! Hamsik pulls one back for Napoli! No! It won't count! The flag is up as the initial pass through to Lavezzi found him in an offside position!
    • 61' Oooh! Gianello comes to Napoli's rescue as Vucinic fires goalwards! Tipped round the post!
    • 55' Oooh! Santacroce heads just wide of the post from a corner!
    • 53' Totti fires a free kick over the bar, despite the expectation before he actually stepped up...
    • 49' GOAL! Totti dispatches the penalty with ease and Roma have a two-goal lead!
    • 48' Penalty to Roma! Cicinho is brought down by Mannini and the ref points to the spot!
    • 46' And here we go again in Naples!
    • 45' Half time in Naples! And it's the visitors who have the lead...
    • 43' Mannini brings Doni into action with a left footed drive from the edge of the box... but the Roma keeper's not going to be beaten from there...
    • 39' What a chance for Totti! Aquilani delivers a super ball to his captain, but Gianello saves with his feet to deny Roma a second!
    • 37' Perrotta lets fly now! But that's a wild one and the ball flies well over Gianello's bar!
    • 35' Ooooh! Brilliant run from midfield from Totti... he goes all the way on his own, only for his eventual effort to fly wide of the mark!
    • 24' Totti again slips through a great pass for Perrotta to run on to! Must be! No! Great save from Gianello with his feet!
    • 15' Lavezzi centres into the Roma box... but Juan deals well with the danger and the home crowd take their seats again...
    • 13' Panucci sends a ball through for Taddei to chase... the Brazilian does well to get there, but his acrobatic attempt to guide the ball goalwards fails and the move breaks down...
    • 6' Zalayeta gets to the byline... he's strong there! But Lavezzi can't control his cross and the opportunity goes begging...
    • 3' Blasi looks to lift the hosts after that hammer blow... but his effort from 25 yards is well off target...
    • 2' GOAL! What a start for Roma! Perrotta runs onto a cute little Totti through pass and finishes past Gianello in the Napoli goal! 1-0 with not even two minutes on the clock!
    • 1' Here we go in Naples!
    • - We'll have LIVE comments on Roma's game in Napoli, along with Milan's trip to Empoli, from 14h GMT. Plus, we've got coverage of the late game between Genoa and Juventus and LIVE scoring of all the rest of the day's action.
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of the big game in Naples today! Three points are essential for Roma if they are to sustain their title challenge, but Napoli, fresh from last weekend's win over Inter, will be confident of beating anyone in their own back yard.
