88th minute after Rodrigo Taddei brings down Thiago Motta. The Inter midfielder then takes the free kick and passes the ball to Balotelli who runs down the left flank with Totti and Taddei in hot pursuit. See what happens after Balotelli rounds the corner heading towards the Roma goal. Simply shocking.

A goalkeeping flap by Andrea Consigli allows Mirko Vucinic's shot to trickle over the goal line giving Roma the lead. Marco Cassetti makes it two after he nods the ball home from Totti's perfectly placed cross. Simone Tiribocchi pulled one back for the Nerazzurri.

With this win, Roma shoot to the top of the table as Inter tied Palermo.

Ten injured as fans from both clubs fight each other with knives, stones, bottles, and firecrackers.

Three were stabbed, one in the throat which required life saving emergency surgery. Also attacked was a car carrying a woman and her two children. They escaped but the car was destroyed. Police also discovered a cache of knives and other assortment of weapons in the stadium.

Tommaso Rocchi gave Lazio an early lead and the derby rivals should have gone ahead further after half time when Aleksandr Kolarov was brought down by Mario Cassatti in a very debatable penalty call. But Sergio Floccari muffed the chance as he shot it straight at Julio Sergio.

However, minutes later it was Kolarov bringing down Simone Taddei in the box and Mirko Vucinic made no mistake with the spotkick.

A wonderful end to end match at the Stadio Olimpico as Sampdoria battled leaders Roma.

The Giallorossi through the triumvirate of Francesco Totti, Jeremy Menez, and Mirko Vucinic kept the Samp defense and Marco Storare busy. And in the 14' minute Vucinic in an incisive 1-2 with Totti opened up the Samp defense with the Montenegrin darting down the left to the edge of the Samp box, as Totti arrived and fed him a precise pass that the Roma captain turned very nicely past Storare into the far left corner.

Roma beat Parma, 2-1 as club talisman Francesco Totti scored one and set up Rodrigo Taddei with his goal. Davide Lanzafame pulled one back for the Gialloblu. With this win Roma are playing tag with Inter for the top spot. This is the best chance for a Serie club to overcome the stigma of zero tituli which Inter has imposed the last four years.

Rosella Sensi, AS Roma owner gets a earful from Jose

Napoleon Bonaparte is obviously someone that Mourinho has read about or been influenced by because he knows the day the Admiral died. Why does that not surprise?

May 5th is also the day that Inter lost the Scudetto eight years ago to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma must have had a half dozen chances to score in the first half. The upright, crossbar, and Federico Marchetti in goal conspired to keep Roma out. Simone Perotta had an offside goal turned down. Roma doubled down in the second half as they went looking for the elusive goal but Marchetti proved to be a tough nut to crack.

A fantastic first time shot curled in by Thomas Mueller who keeps his reputation intact as one of the brightest talent in present day Germany. And Bayern adds insurance as Miroslav Klose nets another.

Roma was able to keep the Bundesliga champions at bay till the very end through some tough minded defending and a superb Júlio Sérgio.

UEFA is ruled by a bunch humourless old men.

During the Bayern vs AS Roma Champions League game, a group of Bayern supporters unfurled a large banner with "Romani Ite Domum" - "Romans Go Home" written on it. An obvious reference to the Monty Python film "Life Of Brian". The accompanying banner which read "Life of Bayern" should have put all doubts to rest.

Claudio Rainieri's coaching is coming for some heated criticism. Today's dispiriting loss to Brescia which reduced Julio Sergio to tears will only give more ammunition to his critics. Perparim Hetemaj gave Brescia the lead and worse was to follow as Phillipe Mexes brought down Eder.

The replay shows Mexes's foul took place away from the box but the referee awarded the PK and ejected the French defender.

Two goals by Mario Gomez had Bayern sitting pretty at half time. However, the Rome side had other ideas as they clawed one back through Marco Borriello in a great bit of hustle. Late in the game, Daniele De Rossi guided a cross in for the equalizer.

Three minutes later Borriello was brought down for Francesco Totti, Roma's talisman to pull off a successful spot kick and snatch a memorable victory.
