    Time:90'
    • Lecce
    • Roma
    • 90' And without any injury time, the referee puts Lecce out of their misery and blows for the end of a match easily won by Roma. We'll be back later with more Serie A action as Torino host Milan in the game of the day, LIVE from 19:30 UK time!
    • 88' Both sides are just winding down the clock now with the result beyond doubt for at least half an hour.
    • 84' ROMA SUB: Pizarro comes on for Baptista.
    • 81' It breathes! Lecce create a chance, Tiribocchi with a low drive that catches Doni out but goes comfortably wide.
    • 78' Roma almost create a chance from the right, Taddei with a low cross looking for Totti but it's intercepted and cleared.
    • 71' ROMA SUB: Juan comes off for Loria.
    • 70' Almost a stunning volleyed goal by De Rossi, hammering Totti's far-post cross wide.
    • 69' Poenghi with a cynical foul on Menez, just hacking at his legs.
    • 67' Roma are in again and it's Totti on the right, he sets up BAPTISTA but his shot is straight at Benussi.
    • 65' ROMA SUB: Menez on for goalscorer Vucinic.
    • 63' Good move from Roma but Stendardo hacks it away before Vucinic can shoot.
    • 62' Totti is on the receiving end of some roughouse treatment from the Lecce defenders, who are frustrated more than anything else.
    • 60' LECCE DOUBLE SUB: Ardito and Cacia on for Castillo and Zanchetta.
    • 58' Yellow card to Esposito for a blatant, cynical pull on Vucinic, who to be honest was about to race clear. That could, in theory, have been a straight red card.
    • 57' LECCE SUB: Ariatti off for Munari.
    • 55' Ariatti for Lecce gets the ball on the edge of the box but his low shot is weak and straight at Doni.
    • 53' Totti drills a low cross in for Baptista, who goes down very easily and is waved up by referee Andrea Gervasoni. Roma come again though as Totti once more gets in on the right and puts in a high cross this time AND VUCINIC POWERS A HEADER OFF THE ANGLE OF POST AND BAR WHICH BOUNCES AWAY! Should have been four, great move.
    • 52' Having just said that, Lecce break down the left and Juan is forced to slide in to intercept. Roma clear now and Riise is free on the left but has no support. Eventually it comes but Lecce are back in numbers too.
    • 51' Roma were in control before that third goal but this match is pretty much over as a contest, with Lecce seeming more concerned with damage limitation, passing the ball around he back.
    • 48' Roma counter attack, Brighi glides through the middle and plays a through ball slightly diagonally to the right, Totti has latched onto it and he beats Benussi with a quite majestic chip for 3-0! Great breakaway goal and the result pretty much sealed.
    • 46' Second half underway at Lecce!
    • 45+2 And that is half-time, Roma lead 2-0.
    • 45+1 Lecce have the ball in the back of the net but the flag is already up. Ridiculously only two minutes of additional time have been signalled. At least double that was taken up by the two earlier injuries.
    • 45' Having just praised Baptista, he gets booked - harshly - for a foul midway inside the Roma half. More clumsy than anything else.
    • 43' Totti wins the ball and looks to his right, Baptista gets the ball on the edge of the box, he slips past one man and fires a shot but blocked by Benussi and it's back to Baptista, who then feeds Taddei on the edge of the box but his low drive is straight at Benussi. The former Real Madrid, Arsenal and Sevilla man is on fire at the moment.
    • 42' Baptista almost ghosts in again after a Vucinic-led counter attack. Roma now dominating this match.
    • 39' Lecce look stunned after conceding that goal and Roma are almost in for a third with Vucinic and Baptista combining, but the home defence hack it clear.
    • 37' Roma have a corner. It's cleared but drops to Taddei on the edge of the box, he drills a shot in low, it ricochets off several players and falls kindly for defender Juan who has the easiest of finishes with Benussi stranded! A lucky break for Roma, just when Lecce were getting back into the game, 2-0.
    • 34' Another injury eats up a few minutes, Cassetti rubbing his head on the sidelines after getting a whack on the jon.
    • 31' Another run down the left for Caserta, but Cassetti puts it out for a throw. Lecce are getting a bit more joy now, mostly down the left.
    • 28' Juan gives away a free-kick around 35 yards out but it's repelled by the Roma defence.
    • 27' Giacomazzi on the ball, he slides it through to Castillo but he shoots weakly at Doni when he should have scored!
    • 22' There's a Lecce man down injured, he's been down a while... it looks serious and on comes the stretcher...
    • 20' Another corner to Lecce after the ball was cleared, lofted back in and entirely un-necessarily headed behind his own bar by Cassetti. The next one almost catches Roma again but there's a foul by a Lecce player and the visitors can relax for a bit.
    • 19' Lecce break and it's with Caserta on the left, he goes down and wins a free kick on the edge of the box near the goal-line...
    • 18' The Roma defence almost get in a pickly but Dona boots it clear and they counter, spreaking it nicely to the left, then back inside but De Rossi loses the ball.
    • 17' The ball is in the back of the net from that corner but the ref orders it to be re-taken, Totti pushing I think. The next one sees him blow again, free-kick Lecce this time.
    • 16' Great first touch off a long ball by Vucinic, it results in a corner too.
    • 13' Roma are finding this pretty easy-going at the moment, as Totti almost plays Baptista in.
    • 10' Totti gets the ball on the edge of the D, he looks right but slips a neat through ball diagonally left, AND VUCINIC IS FREE ON THE LEFT TO DRILL IT PAST BENUSSI FOR 1-0! Great finish from the Montenegro striker, who refuses to celebrate against his former club. What a pass too, classic Totti vision and delivery.
    • 7' Roma counter, Baptista going wide to Cassetti, a one-two back inside to the Brazilian, Roma have men over here but a poor pass from Totti is intercepted and the hosts clear.
    • 5' ... but Baptista slips as he shoots and sends the ball harmlessly into Benussi's arms.
    • 4' Giacomazzi gives away a free-kick to the left of the D, Baptista and Totti among those over it...
    • 3' Almost an opener for Roma after Baptista finds Riise free on the left but his low drive is parried by Benussi.
    • 1' The match is underway!
