    Time:90'
    • Roma
    • Fiorentina
    • 90+4 And that is the final whistle, Roma win and close the gap on Inter to nine points! Next up in Serie A we have Milan v Palermo at 19:30, although the Carling Cup final is LIVE now!
    • 90+3 Ball over the top and GAMBERINI FORWARD WITH THE HEADER BUT WIDE! Good chance for a leveller.
    • 90+2 Cicinho, the goalscorer, is sent off for kicking the ball away after Totti fouled Gamberini. Silly boy, after his first goal in Serie A too.
    • 90' Perrotta fouls Ujfalusi, yellow card.
    • 88' Vieri with a tired header well over as Fiorentina try to push for a leveller.
    • 85' Cicinho booked for a foul on Vieri ten yards outside the box, harsh as he seems to get the ball. Free-kick taken by Liverani, far post for Ujfalusi but Cassetti puts him off and it's a goal kick.
    • 80' Semiolo puts a Roma corner behind for another one after the delivery by Totti eluded everyone... Pizarro to take this one, he came on about a minute ago.
    • 77' FIORENTINA SUB: Jorgensen comes off for Liverani, the former Lazio midfielder greeted with a chorus of jeers from the Roma fans on account of having played for their bitter rivals.
    • 75' Giuly is freed wide on the right, swings a cross over that's too deep for Perrotta and headed behind by Ujfalusi.
    • 74' Roma again attacking, playing it short and patiently in Fiorentina's half, they've been by far the better side this half.
    • 71' De Rossi landed awkwardly challenging for the corner but he'll live after some treatment.
    • 69' Risky tackle from Gamberini on Vucinic but a corner is given...
    • 66' Aquilani leads the charge, now Vucinic on the left and Totti is in space but Vucinic shoots and Frey saves.
    • 64' Vucinic and Totti combine, taking Ujfalusi out of the equation, but Gamberini gets across to put it behind for the corner.
    • 61' Vucinic reacts angrily to Jorgensen's shoulder barge, incorrectly thinking Waigo hit him in the face.
    • 59' Mistake from Ferrari plays Vieri in, he backheels it for Kuzmanovic but put behind for a corner! Almost disaster for Roma.
    • 58' Vucinic with a cute through-ball to Totti who is in on the left and clips the ball across Frey but a great save by the Frenchman to tip it behind for a corner! Kroldrup stepped up way too late there.
    • 56' Waigo on the right, ball inside for Kuzmanovic WHO LETS RIP WITH A BRILLIANT DIPPING SHOT THAT RATTLES THE CROSSBAR AND GOES OVER! What an effort, Doni beaten hands down.
    • 54' Cicinho on the right plays the ball across and now De Rossi has it on the left to drive the shot in, it's blocked but ONLY INTO THE PATH OF CICINHO WHO DRIVES IT LOW INTO THE BOTTOM RIGHT, 1-0! Totti was offside but "inactive", while Cicinho was not. Yadder yadder, interfering he was as they stepped up to play him off, but the refs don't seem to get that.
    • 52' Vieri plays the ball into the area looking for Waigo, but Doni comes out and gets a shove from Waigo in the process.
    • 51' Fiorentina with their backs against the wall defending successive corners but they survive and clear.
    • 47' Vucinic gets the ball on the left, he cuts inside and drives into the box before unleashing a powerful drive that Frey can only parry and TOTTI IS FREE TO SCORE THE REBOUNG but the flag is up! Yes, he was clearly offside when the shot came in.
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45' Vieri booked for persistent backing-in. Harsh.
    • 43' FIORENTINA SUB: Poor Adrian Mutu is taken off with a knee injury - he can walk unaided but it's obviously a strain of some sort, Papa Waigo on in his place.
    • 41' Oh no this is not nice at all - Mutu has been brilliant for Fiorentina this season and seems to be in some pain... after a bit of treatment he does get up but he goes back down...
    • 40' A great ball through from Jorgensen sends MUTU CLEAN THROUGH BUT BRILLIANT GOALKEEPING FROM DONI TO SMOTHER THE BALL! Mutu is badly hurt in landing though, he seems to have twisted his knee...
    • 39' Fiorentina cannot fully clear the corner, Giuly and Aquilani now but they clear.
    • 38' Roma clear the corner and they counter, Totti running through the middle, Fiorentina have bodies back but Totti squeezes it wide to Tonetto but the ball drops TO CICINHO WITH THE DRIVE BUT A SPECTACULAR SAVE FROM FREY! Corner.
    • 37' Roma not particularly confident at the back at the moment, Ferrari unable to clear the corner but eventually they get it away... another corner from the second wave thogh.
    • 36' Long ball in for Vieri, he holds off Ferrari to turn and shoot left-footed and Doni has to dive across to tip it around for a corner!
    • 34' Kuzmanovic thinks he was caught on the shin by De Rossi but if anything he slid in late, and the ref waves play-on until he deems it necessary to check Kuzmanovic out... he's fine though.
    • 29' Totti flicks the ball on and Vucinic with the drive but straight at Frey. Giuly tackles back to foil the counter, clobbering Kuzmanovic in the process.
    • 26' Roma getting more involved now as a ball over the top takes a flick off a white shirt and Vucinic is in and can head on goal but straight at Frey.
    • 24' Totti and Taddei combine and the cross comes in near-post but put behind by Gamberini for a corner.
    • 18' Dodgy flag on Taddeei as Ujfalusi seemed to be playing him on.
    • 15' Free-kick to Roma, Totti to take about 25 yards out, and quick thinking to thread the ball into Vucinic who is through and shoots but sends it wildly over!!
    • 13' Good move by Roma, one-touch passing and Giuly breaks through the middle and goes down on the edge of the box but nothing given!
    • 10' Fiorentina on the charge, Semioli down the right, and the ball is played across to VIERI WHO MUST SCORE but he air-kicks and the chance goes! Fiorentina miss a sitter.
    • 1' Match underway in Rome!
