  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Roma
    • Parma
    • 90'+5 And there goes the full time whistle! All over in Rome and it's a comprehensive win for Roma, who run out 4-0 winners!
    • 90'+4 GOAL! Vucinic swoops to capitalise on some frankly awful defending from Parma, and Zenoni in particular, to make it four!
    • 90' Dessena goes into the ref's notebook for a tackle from behind on Taddei...
    • 86' Seconds later Esposito heads over the bar, when he really should have done better...
    • 85' Vucinic goes for goal! And Bucci is forced into tipping over for another Roma corner!
    • 82' On comes Antunes for Roma... Tonetto departs...
    • 80' GOAL! Totti fires home to seal all three points for Roma! Lovely strike into the far corner, teed up by a neat back heel from Esposito!
    • 79' Parma make another change... off goes Gasberonni and on comes Reginaldo...
    • 77' The ball is between the six-yard line and penalty spot... it's teed up for Totti! Deflected behind for a corner! That was one of those that was too close to goal!
    • 76' Free kick well inside the box now to Roma after a Parma defender is adjudged to have handled a back pass!
    • 74' Chance for Roma to get a third now! But Totti's greedy and when he should lay the ball off to Taddei, he goes for goal himself... the ball takes a deflection and loops into Bucci's arms.
    • 73' Mancini departs... and on comes Mirko Vucinic as Spalletti thinks of next week's clash with Real Madrid.
    • 68' The injury cart races onto the pitch doing an impressive impression of Giancarlo Fisichella after Cicinho falls to the ground clutching his back...
    • 66' Penalty shout for Parma at the other end! Panucci seems keen on swapping shirts with Lucarelli a little early, but the ref waves play on!
    • 65' Ooh! Esposito's first touch brings a save out of Bucci! But he's offside and it wouldn't have counted anyway.
    • 64' Here comes Esposito... and off goes Giuly...
    • 61' Mauro Esposito looks like he's going to make an appearance...
    • 60' Lovely approach play from Roma here... Giuly and Cicinho are involved, but nothing comes of it in the end, which is a shame, because that move deserved more.
    • 58' Coly gestures towards coach Domenico Di Carlo on his way down the tunnel... he's clearly not happy with being hauled off...
    • 57' Parma make a double change in the hope of getting something out of this one... on comes Lucarelli for Budan and Pisanu for Coly...
    • 56' Oooh! Giuly fires just wide of Bucci's upright!
    • 53' GOAL! Parma get one back! No! Disallowed! Can't see why... perhaps handball against Castellini...? Not sure really...
    • 51' GOAL! Another for Roma! Panucci shakes his head, indicating it's Falcone who gets the final touch! Tonetto centres, and with Panucci closing in at the back stick, Falcone attempts to overhead kick the ball to saftey. He succeeds only in putting past his own keeper. How embarrassing!
    • 46' Off we go again! Second half underway at the Olimpico!
    • 45' There goes the half time whistle! And Roma head in at the break a goal to the good thanks to Alberto Aquilani's strike!
    • 42' Roma win another corner as Giuly's effort takes a deflection just wide of the mark!
    • 40' Oh dear, that's poor from the Roma captain... he slices his effort high and wide...
    • 39' Free kick to Roma now... 35 yards out... Totti, inevitably, over it...
    • 36' Oooh! Gasberonni goes close from the resulting free kick! The ball hits the side netting, with Doni floundering somewhat!
    • 35' This will be a yellow card for goalscorer Aquilani... for hand ball, although that's harsh - surely it was accidental?
    • 30' Real chance for Roma! But there's no finishing touch despite Brighi's back heel!
    • 27' GOAL! Aquilani puts Roma in the lead! It's a lovely flowing Roma move, ending in Tonetto delivering a dangerous cross into the box... Bucci deals with it poorly, diving out to punch the ball into Aquilani's path... he does the rest, applying the finishing touch, despite Bucci's best efforts to make amends for his error!
    • 25' Taddei fires a header just wide of the post after having got himself ahead of the Parma defender!
    • 22' But the delivery is poor from the dead ball and Parma are able to clear the danger...
    • 21' Whistles ring out at the Olimpico as Totti is pulled back... the ref gives the hosts a free kick and there's a chance here...
    • 20' Great effort from Budan! He wallops one towards the near post and Doni has to be smart to stop it!
    • 12' Roma will have one eye on next week's Champions League clash with Real Madrid... but nevertheless, all three points are vital here, and Luciano Spalletti's team selection proves he knows that...
    • 10' Parma have started the game well... they're more than holding their own so far...
    • 5' Budan directs a header goalwards! But it's easy for Doni to collect! First chance of the day for the hosts.
    • 1' Here we go! Underway in Rome!
    • - Kick off is at 1700 GMT, so be sure to join us then for all the action from the Olimpico!
    • - All three points are just as vital for Parma, if for entirely different reasons. The Gialloblu are just two points above the drop zone and victory in Rome will provide a massive boost to their survival hopes.
    • - The Giallorossi will be hoping to get back to winning ways after having conceded a late equaliser against Internazionale midweek. Victory is imperative tonight if Luciano Spalletti's side are to keep the pressure on Inter, whose lead at the top of the table will be cut to six points overnight with a Roma win.
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of the first of today's Serie A games! It's title hopefuls Roma against struggling Parma from the Stadio Olimpico in the Eternal City!
