    • 90+4' That's it! Lazio hold on for victory in the 139th Rome derby!
    • 90+3' Marquinho fires a great chance wide at the back post as he makes contact with a glorious long ball from Bradley!
    • 90+2' We have two minutes left and Marchetti will take his time over this goal kick.
    • 90+1' Burdisso has the ball in the Roma half and pumps it long down field.
    • 90' There will be four minutes of added time.
    • 89' Roma can't get anything going here as the clock ticks down.
    • 86' Can Roma muster an equaliser? They never looked likely to get back in the game, but now they have a chance.
    • 85' GOAL! LAZIO 3-2 ROMA. Pjanic lobs Marchetti with a long distance free-kick. Amazing goal and we have a game on again!
    • 84' Mauri picks up a second yellow card after stopping Bradley's pass with his arm! It looked harsh but both sides now down to 10 men.
    • 82' Candreva is substituted by Lorik Cana. Candreva picked up a spot of cramp there.
    • 80' Candreva makes a strong run down the right but Marquinhos gets a good tackle in and puts the ball out for a throw.
    • 78' Tachtsidis is the latest to pick up a booking and will miss the Torino game next weekend.
    • 77' Lazio have got complacent here. They should have enough to see this out but coach Vladimir Petkovic will be unhappy at the way his side have conceded the initiatve.

    • 74' Christian Brocchi is introduced in place of Hernanes.
    • 73' Tachtsidis curls in a free-kick but it is too high for Burdisso and Osvaldo.
    • 72' Burdisso heads a corner from Pjanic back across goal but Marchetti makes the catch. Lazio have got a little casual in these last few minutes.
    • 71' Pjanic has not scored for 19 games. Roma could do with him notching here.
    • 70' Miralem Pjanic comes on to replace Totti who is inevitably jeered off by the Lazio supporters.
    • 69' Good play by Marquinho who wins a throw for Roma on the right.

    • 66' Ledesma drills the ball across goal and out for a goal kick to Roma.
    • 65' Osvaldo gets a free header on a Totti corner but heads over the bar. That was a more than presentable chance for the striker.
    • 64' A slight lull in the game as the tifosi are given time to reflect on a frantic first hour of this derby.
    • 62' Florenzi makes way for Marquinho in another Roma change.
    • 61' Konko's challenge on Balzaretti wins Roma a corner which Ledesma heads away.
    • 59' Stefan Radu comes on to replace Lulic at left-back for Lazio.

    • 56' Balzaretti's ball in is touched away by Ledesma.
    • 55' Bradley plays the ball over to Piris who pushes his man in the area. Free-kick Lazio.
    • 52' It seems a long time ago that Roma were dominating their opponents and threatening to take a 2-0 lead.
    • 51' There is a long way to go but this Rome derby now looks a foregone conclusion.
    • 49' Goicoechea has to adjust his position to make a smart save from Hernanes as Lazio threaten to run riot!
    • 48' A shocking mistake from Piris and the game looks up for Roma.
    • 47' GOAL! LAZIO 3-1 ROMA. The ball is presented to Mauri after a dreadful defensive header from Iván Piris and the Lazio midfielder drills the ball unerringly past Goicoechea to make it 3-1!
    • 46' Panagiotis Tachtsidis has been introduced in place of Erik Lamela.
    • 46' We are back off and running in the Roma derby.
    • 45+3' That's half-time. Lazio go in 2-1 up at the interval.
    • 45+2' De Rossi is sent-off for lashing out at Mauri in the area! He had to go. A moment of madness from the midfielder.
    • 45+1' Candreva becomes the fifth player booked after a foul on Osvaldo. It was a high challenge from the midfielder.
    • 45' This has been a terrific Rome derby so far. The players have made the best of the appalling conditions.
    • 44' That was Klose's first goal in a Rome derby, and the 201st of his career.
    • 43' The game has been completely turned on its head!
    • 42' GOAL! LAZIO 2-1 ROMA. A terrific penetrative run from Hernanes results in the Brazilian crossing for Klose who taps in from close range!
    • 42' Balzaretti is penalised for a foul on Candreva.
    • 41' Lazio well on top now. The conditions appear to have worked in their favour here.
    • 40' Lazio break like lightning and Klose fires inches over the bar!
    • 38' Lulic picks up a yellow card for a challenge on Osvaldo. It was soft. If anything it was a foul by the Roma player!
    • 37' There is a spring in Lazio's step now. They have been the better team in the last 15 minutes.
    • 36' The ball was swerving but Goicoechea flapped badly and it will go down as a goalkeeping mistake.
    • 35' GOAL! LAZIO 1-1 ROMA. Antonio Candreva in his first derby lashes in a free kick to level things for the Giallorossi!
    • 34' Hernanes tries to turn away from Bradley who concedes another free-kick.
    • 33' Hernanes curls a free-kick in from the left which Konko gets his head to and directs just over the bar!
    • 32' Klose goes to ground after a foul from Nicolas Burdisso who picks up his fourth yellow card of the season. Looked harsh.
    • 31' Hernanes curls the resulting free kick high over the bar.
    • 30' Poor touch from Alessandro Florenzi and Klose goes dow to win a free kick for Lazio in a dangerous position.
    • 29' The rain shows no sign of abating at the Olimpico.
    • 27' Lazio coming into proceedings more now after Roma's early dominance.
    • 26' Lamela tries the ball over the top for Bradley but it is cut out. There was a sublime piece of skill from Totti in that move as he flicked the ball onto his team-mate.
    • 25' Alvaro Gonzalez's shot takes a deflection for a corner to Lazio.
    • 24' Hernanes is rather cynically brought down by Michael Bradley when in full flow and the American is booked for his troubles.
    • 23' De Rossi buys the free kick from Hernanes in the middle of the park.
    • 22' Strong challenge from Totti on Konko. Lazio throw.
    • 21' Goicoechea gets down well to save a header from Klose but the flag goes up for a foul and the goal would not have counted.
    • 20' Hernanes has been unable to get into the game, but he wins a free kick in the middle of the pitch.
    • 18' The pitch is now treacherous after the downpour of the last six or seven minutes. One has to wonder if this match will be completed today.
    • 17' The first yellow card of the game goes to Miroslav Klose who is booked for an elbow on De Rossi. It's his sixth of the season already.
    • 16' STAT: Roma have now scored in their last 30 matches at the Olimpico.
    • 15' Lazio win a corner after good play from Senad Lulic. De Rossi put it out for a corner. The delivery was disappointing, though.
    • 14' It's pouring down at the Olimpico and there is no doubt that Roma have adapted better to the conditions.
    • 13' Totti attempts a fierce low effort across goal that Federico Marchetti gets down to push away!
    • 12' Andre Dias gets the better of Pablo Osvaldo and knocks the ball out for a Roma corner.
    • 11' Hernanes attempts a speculative shot from distance that Mauro Goicoechea comfortably saves.
    • 10' That's now seven goals in six games for Lamela, and his eighth of the season. There looked to be a push, but the goal stands.
    • 9' GOAL! LAZIO 0-1 ROMA. Roma take a deserved lead as Erik Lamela heads in a corner from Francesco Totti!
    • 8' Antonio Candreva can't control a long ball that bounces off the wet surface and Roma have a goal kick.
    • 7' We are back up and running as Abdoulay Konko takes the throw.
    • 6' The players are milling around as the stadium staff look to get the lights back on.
    • 5' Some of the floodlights have gone out at the Olimpico and play has been temporarily stopped.
    • 4' STAT: Roma have had five of the last eight penalties in this fixture.
    • 3' Alvaro Gonzalez slips as he tries to play the ball into the Roma area and the Giallorossi have a goal kick.
    • 2' Miroslav Klose tries to take on Marquinos but the Brazilian comes away with the ball.
    • 1' We are off and underway at the Stadio Olimpico!
    • 14:59 Italy is currently being hit by spillover storms from Hurricane Sandy and there are stormy skies overhead. The players are out, though, and we are set for kick-off!
    • 14:55 If you want to share your views with me on Twitter, I'll try to be as active as I can: @stewartcoggin
    • 14:50 This should be a fascinating Derby della Capitale with both sides built to attack. Just two points separate Lazio (5th) and Roma (6th).
    • 14:45 For Roma, Daniele De Rossi, who has been used in defence this season, is restored to a central midfield berth, replacing PanagiotisTachtsidis. In a typically attacking Zdenek Zeman line-up, Francesco Totti, Erik Lamela and Pablo Daniel Osvaldo play in a three-pronged attack.
    • 14:40 Ederson and Giuseppe Sculli are the only absentees for Lazio. Miroslav Klose leads the attack, with support from Hernanes, Stefano Mauri and Antonio Candreva in what is expected to be a 4-1-4-1 formation.
    • 14:35 LAZIO: Marchetti; Konko, Biava, Dias, Lulic; Ledesma; Candreva, Gonzalez, Hernanes, Mauri; Klose. Subs: Bizzarri, Radu, Scaloni, Ciani, Cavanda, Brocchi, Cana, Onazi, Zarate, Floccari, Kozak, Rocchi. /// ROMA: Goicoechea; Piris, Marquinhos, Burdisso, Balzaretti; Bradley, De Rossi, Florenzi; Lamela, Osvaldo, Totti. Subs: Svedkauskas, Castan, Romagnoli, Taddei, Dodo, Pjanic, Tachtsidis, Marquinho, Perrotta, Lopez.

  1. I hate your repetitious, silly comments, you seem to­ know nothing else to put but the always cliche­ ''Only Klose''. By the way you have­ selected a ridiculous picture for your profile! there­ are wiser ways for indicating your Iranian nationality.

    From Amir, on Mon 12 Nov 19:25

  2. Only Klose !!! I Hate Italaian Football & Clubs !!!­ We Love German Football !!!

    From Ali, on Mon 12 Nov 12:25

  3. Statistics suggest that super Klose has proved the most­ helpful and profitable purchase Lazio has made during­ the recent decade. Moreover Candreva has showed very­ promising.

    From Tooraj, on Mon 12 Nov 8:07

  4. The glorious conquest of della capitale, victorious­ display and heroic comeback at beating AS Roma.­ Everything went well as expected since Lazio was the­ very team should. Good job Blues, the Eternal City Blue­ forever! Now Blues must concentrate on the next­ critical meeting against Juventus and forget this­ evening win.

    From Tooraj, on Sun 11 Nov 19:59

  5. Forza Lazio and good job Sky Blues. My forecasting came­ true. We deserved this precious victory. Now the sky of­ Roma is entirely blue. I hope the poison of arrogance­ will never infect Lazio.

    From Amir, on Sun 11 Nov 19:25

  6. lazio win 3-1 lulic klose candreva-osvaldo ,puta zeman­ !

    From Miguel, on Sun 11 Nov 12:33

  7. Our this-night opponents are wounded snakes dreadful of­ 3th successive defeat against Lazio and thirsty for­ revenge. Without referee's aid and our deadly slips­ they stand no chance to get points. The conquest of­ della capitale isn't out of reach provided that Sky­ Blues appear determined, cool and purposive.

    From Amir, on Sun 11 Nov 8:02

  8. Roma's sky will turn blue once again if Lazio is­ high-spirited, brave and logical. As far as i remember­ A.S Roma has often won the derby with referee's­ favor, then Sky Blues must be alert because the rival­ may play with one or two extra players.

    From Tooraj, on Sun 11 Nov 7:24

  9. Once again the Eternal City derby, another della­ capitale is upcoming, the arduous field in which each­ side's power is to be tried out. Soccer rule of­ thumb has ever indicated that the winners of sensitive­ meetings are teams who handle their mental pressure,­ ignore out-of-field fuss and seize sporadic goal­ opportunities cleverly.

    From Tooraj, on Sat 10 Nov 15:52

  10. where if pjanic again if he sits this one out he should­ just leave and join a bigger club because every club­ wants him now i dont know what is wrong with this zemen­ #$%$

    From Armin, on Fri 9 Nov 20:52

  11. Lazio are in good shape but Roma can make it next­ sunday...
