90+4'
That's it! FT: Roma 2-0 Napoli
90'
Four minutes added on by the referee.
88'
You'd think Rudi Garcia would be raging if Roma lost a goal in the last few minutes. But this is an impressive side he's got at the Stadio Olimpico. Serious title contenders?
84'
Former PSV man Strootman blazing over again in this game. Roma loving this, passing with so much vigour and enthusiasm. It's looking like another victory for Rudi Garcia.
81'
A change for Napoli with Inler replaced by Dzemaili. An attacking swap from Rafael Benitez.
80'
Marquinho is Roma's final substitution in place of Alessandro Florenzi.
79'
Who's the man to block Besto's shot at the edge of the box? De Rossi.
77'
Crisp, quick passing from Roma as they control this match in the last quarter. De Rossi has been fantastic tonight. Who has been your best player tonight, so far?
74'
Perhaps that's why Higuain didn't play from the beginning. He's dispossessed so easily, as Roma launch a quick break, but Ljajic's pass is overhit to Florenzi.
72'
That looks to be game-set-match for Roma. Pjanic with the two match-winning moments in this one. He's just been booked though.
70'
GOOOOOOOAL! It's Pjanic with the double. Wonderful spot-kick. Blasted into the net.
69'
Penalty for Roma! Cannavaro is sent-off, shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on Borriello inside the box.
67'
Gonzalo Higuain finally comes on in place of Goran Pandev.
67'
Fine positioning from Maggio at the back-post to clear from Maicon's tantalising cross which was out of the reach of Pepe Reina.
65'
Slower tempo to this second-half and we've been starved of any shots on goal from either side. Marco Borriello looks isolated, in comparison to the first 45 minutes.
61'
Roma doing ever so well to crowd Napoli out inside the box. They're being forced wide - and don't want to cross the ball. But Garcia will be concerned at the lack of thrust going forward.
59'
Napoli have taken control of this second half, without creating any clear-cut chances. You'd think Higuain would be the right figurehead to the attack.
57'
Drilled corner-kick by Pjanic, about a foot off the ground, finding the diving head of De Rossi in the six-yard box who can't direct it towards goal. Huge chance.
56'
Gervinho heads off the field to a standing ovation. Replaced by the dyanmic Adem Ljajic.
