  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Roma
    • Livorno
    • 90+4' It's all over at the Stadio olimpico, and Roma are now three points behind Inter having played a game more. For Livorno, it's a famoues point that may just kickstart their survival campaign. Stick around for Fiorentina v Palermo, kicking off at 19:30 BST!!
    • 90+4' Ludovic Guily sends the cross in for Vucinic to head back across goal but Amelia gets a vital touch that diverts the ball away and to safety!
    • 90+2' Roma are frantically trying to regain the lead as their title hopes are evaporating before them. They have a free kick that's headed by PANUCCI... SAVED BY AMELIA!!
    • 88' De Rossi plays a one-two on the edge of the box and strikes the return pass on goal... Saved by Amelia!
    • 83' GOAL!! Diamanti fires an unstoppable free kick past Doni and Livorno are level!! Roma have paid the price for their complacency, and could well have handed the title of Inter!!
    • 80' Livorno are trying to take advantage of Roma's relaxed attitude, and are finally committing some omore men forward. Diamanti receives the ball and turns onto his left foot and SHOOTS... His shot is wide of the mark but he was given the time and space to do some damage.
    • 73' Vucinic brings the ball all the way across the edge of the area before cutting in for the shot... Blocked again but the rebound goes to Perrotta who heads over Amelia... but wide!
    • 69' Perrotta is fed inside the area and turns to SHOOT... High and wide!
    • 66' Roma are still dominating the possession as much as they were before the goal, but are now a lot more relaxed about getting forward at every opportunity. Everytime Tavano gets the ball, he is too deep is and surrounded by defenders.
    • 60' Roma have a corner that's headed down for PERROTTA... The half-volleyed effort canons off someone in the pack of bodies filling the box!
    • 59' Some great one-touch play by Roma has Vucinic backheeling a ball in the box for Mancini to shoot, but he takes a touch too many and is tackled.
    • 55' GOOOOOOOOL!! Finally Roma break the deadlock! Mirko vucinic beats the offside trap to loop a header over Amelia and see it drop under the bar to send Roma on their way!
    • 52' Roma are rampant now and De Rossi hooks a volley just over the bar.
    • 51' Roma are camped on the edge of the Livorno box, and Mancini lays the ball back for DANIELE DE ROSSI... He hits a thunderous strike that AGAIN is just wide!!
    • 48' Puzetti is down receiving treatment after coming off worse in a 50/50 challenge with Juan.
    • 46' The second half at the Stadio Olimpico is underway! Can Livorno repel the red tide for another 45 minutes to claim a vital point?
    • 45+3' That's the last action of the half. Livorno have managed to hold on for 45 minutes with their backs to the wall, and the loss of Francesco Totti will give them hope that they can last the full 90.
    • 45+2' Roma begin to lose patience as half-time approaches and fire a series of long balls upfield which lead to nothing. Knezevic brings the ball out of defence and skips three challenges as he glides through midfield. He feeds Tavano who has two men in front of him, and he tries the shot. It's weak, and floats into the arms of Doni! A wasted opportunity.
    • 44' Taddei slides in a perfectly-weighted pass that sneaks past Galante jinto the path of VUCINIC who fires on the turn JUST wide!
    • 40' Mancini comes on to replace Totti.
    • 38' The corner comes to the unmarked JUAN... His header is cleared off the line!!
    • 37' Roma have a corner, but Totti took a knock to his knee as he won it, and has now left the field for treatment. Knezevic clears for another corner, and now he has gone down injured. with the sides both down to ten men, Roma take their third corner...
    • 36' Perrotta and Totti cross paths and the captain emrges with the ball on the edge of the box and SHOOTS... Inches wide of the foot of the post!
    • 33' Vucinic sends a crisp, inch-perfect pass acoss the pitch to Taddei, who turns onto his left foot but muiscues his shot and it rolls harmleesly to Amelia.
    • 27' Some sublime football from Roma, as they sweep forward with slick passing. Vucinic goes close to getting his shot on target away but again it's blocked at the last. There is only so long that Livorno can sustain this backs to the wall approach.
    • 25' Roma are all over Livorno at the moment. Mancini's ball aross goes all the way to TADDEI... He was at full stretch as he sent his half-volley over the bar.
    • 21' Livorno have a free kick out on the left wing. It's passed short to Filippini who will striker from way out... Way over!
    • 18' Pizarro picks out tonetto brilliantly on the wing and Tonetto fries in a dangerous cross for Totti, but it's intercepted.
    • 12' Roma have another free kick in a central position. Again they fail to capitalise, but it looks as though they will get plenty of shooting practice today.
    • 10' Tonetto controls the ball over the top well inside the area. The Livorno palyers have there arms up for offside, and they get it. Replays show that Tonetto was level with the last man.
    • 8' Francesco Totti takes a big run-up and blasts the set piece low, but it's just wide of the post. Goalkeeper Amelia looks like he had it covered.
    • 6' Francesco Tavano has no one around him and so runs at goal with theball. He strikes from 25 yards out, but the effort is wide. Roma win a free kick in a central position on the edge of the area. Totti runs up...
    • 3' Roma are without Alberto Aquilani, while Mirko Vucinic has overcome an injury to start on the bench. Pizarro sends in a corner that Tottie tries to set up Mexes with, but again Livorno have enough bodies in the box to get the ball clear.
    • 2' The cross comes in and Totti chests it down and shapes to shoot, but the ball is hacked away in time!
    • 1' Welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of Roma v Livorno! Roma can move to just a point behind Inter with a win today, and that looks highly likely as thwey face the team who are bottom of the league. The action in Rome in underway!
