    Time:90'
    • Roma
    • Siena
    • 90'+4 All over in Rome and Roma maintain their 100% start to the season with a 3-0 win over Siena!
    • 89' GOAL! Roma break with Totti... it's one on one... Totti jinks inside and lets fly with a right footer that gives Manninger no chance! 3-0 Roma and they're the team to beat at the moment!
    • 81' GOAL! ALL OVER IN ROME AS GIULY GIVES ROMA A 2-0 LEAD! The Frenchman opens his account by finding the corner after he latches onto a deflected Aquilani through ball! Totti is clearly offside, but the ref decides he isn't interfering in play and the goal stands!
    • 77' Locatelli blazes over the bar from close range! Terrible miss from the substitute!
    • 70' Giuly skips away from the Siena defence but his cross-shot is not met by a team-mate and the ball rolls all the way through to safety!
    • 63' Perrotta looking to make an immediate impact on the game... but Totti's pass through is shepherded out of play and the move breaks down.
    • 59' Giuly's through here! Oh no! The Frenchman holds on to the ball too long and Loria is allowed to make the challenge!
    • 58' Vucinic is withdraw from action... and Perrotta comes on to replace him...
    • 56' Vergassola plays a lovely one-two with Frick... oooh! But he can't quite get on the end of the return and Doni comes out to claim!
    • 54' Both Galloppa and Codrea go into the book in the space of two minutes... a bit of ill-discipline creeping into Siena's game now...
    • 48' Vergassola fires one over the bar! Not the best effort, but a sign of Siena's intent this half nonetheless.
    • 46' Here we go again in Rome! Second half underway!
    • 45'+1 Half time at the Olimpico! And Roma head in a goal to the good after a brilliant strike from the frankly brilliant Aquiliani.
    • 43' Totti chance his luck from the edge of the box! Oooh! He catches it well, but the ball flies wide of the mark!
    • 42' Galloppa fires over the bar from close range after some confusion in the Roma box! Siena certainly have had opportunities to get back in this one.
    • 40' Giuly nearly finds a way through after some neat approach play from Giuly and Aquilani! But his shot is blocked behind for a corner!
    • 37' Aquilani has such a sweet strike on him... that would have been an early contender for goal of the season had the woodwork not been rattled.
    • 36' OFF THE BAR FROM AQUILANI! How good is this player? He slams one from fully 30 yards.... Manninger is beaten all ends up, only to be denied by the cross bar!
    • 31' What an effort from Taddei! The Brazilian flings himself at a cross and manages to direct the ball in the general direction of the goal with a flying back heel! The ball goes wide, but ten out of ten for invention and athleticism.
    • 28' Great chance for Maccarone! Must be! He's through on goal after some super control gets him in behind Mexes... exvellent stop from Doni, who gets his body behind the shot!
    • 23' Vergassola tries his luck from distance... way over the bar.
    • 22' At the other end, Giuly is starting to make things happen for Roma... here he goes off on a characteristic run... he feeds Totti, but the Roma skipper's shot is well blocked by Loria!
    • 20' Maccarone plays in Frick down the right hand side with a super ball... chance to deliver a decent cross here... but Frick's pull back only finds Mexes' outstretched boot and the chance is wasted!
    • 17' GOAL! Aquilani fires Roma into the lead with an absolute screamer! The youngster picks his spot from the edge of the area and the ball goes in off the underside of the bar! Brilliant finish!
    • 15' Corner to Roma as De Rossi's ball towards Vucinic is headed behind by Bertotto!
    • 11' Vucinic and Totti play one pass to many as they try to unlock the Siena defence... and the Bianconeri manage to clear their lines.
    • 9' Giuly links up well with Totti, whose ball finds Vucinic! But that's good defending from Portanova to get a boot in before the striker can get a shot off.
    • 6' Corner for Roma early on here... but Totti can't create any magic this time and the chance goes begging...
    • 4' Totti with the first chance of the game! The Roma captain tries to chip Manninger from the edge of the box... but his effort lands on the roof of the net with Manninger backpeddling rapidly!
    • 1' Underway at the Olimpico!
