By Anna Italia
SIENA HUMILIATES ROMA WITH A GOLEADA!!
AC SIENA 3 - 0 AS ROMA
12' Simone Vergassola
43' Max Tonetto (own goal)
83' Mario Frick
Substitutions: 63' Kharja out, Coppola in 51' Rodrigo Taddei out, Mirko Vucinic in
81' Maccarone out, Rigano in 63' Simone Perrotta out, Ludovic Giuly in
91' Mario Frick out, Alberto in 79' Daniele De Rossi out, Alberto Aquilani in
What can I say about this result? Technically, Roma's lineup before the match was superior. However, hello, surprise, Siena just proved everybody the opposite! Simply, the Roman gladiators could not find the way to the net and see their distance with Inter increase. Inter beat Empoli, therefore, with Roma defeat the distance is 8 points.
It's a historical humiliation. Siena the so-called small team found the magic formula to beat the great Roma!
A superb triumph for Siena coach Mario Beretta and his men who believed in the dream. Siena just annulled Super Totti, Mancini, and Perrotta. With these 3 points, Siena avoids the dreaded relegation zone.
In the 10th minute, Siena gets a corner kick, Jarolim shoots and Roma defender Matteo Ferrari clear the danger. Unluckily, the ball falls right into the path of Siena midfielder Vergassola who without hesitation blast Roma goalkeeper Doni.
AC Siena 1 - 0.

In the 43rd minute, a cold shower for the Roman gladiators when Roma goalkeeper saves a ball from De Ceglie. However, the ball hits defender Philippe Mexes, then Max Tonetto who cannot send the ball away and it is an own goal!. Incredible. What a nightmare for Roma.
AC Siena 2 - 0.
Referee Paolo Dondarini whistles the end of the first half. Challenge is for Roma coach Luciano Spalletti to change strategy and equalize the score, if not winning. Definitely, it has been a brilliant first half for Siena.
In the 83rd minute, it is the final cold shower for Roma. The big Roman Empire has fallen! Mario Frick shoots at the far post of goalkeeper Doni and that's it guys, it's goal. A dark cloud for the Romans and sunshine for Siena.
AC Siena 3 - 0.
A nightmare for Roma and a major upset. Merits to Siena who won fair and square.

This is not possible, Roma losing against Siena by 3 goals to none? I am speechless, Anna what's going on here? We were saying May God protect Empoli, but it was May God protect Roma, just unbelievable, Kenntak and Suri must be devastated. What's your take?

Pietro this is a shocking result! Wow, we got this one wrong too! Unbelievable, who would have thought that Roma was going to lose with such a strong lineup? I still can't believe it.
Sorry for Kenntak and Suri.

I can't believe it, now let me tell you that Inter are the winners
Reply to this
I refuse to believe this yet. Still Roma can make it because Inter has struggled in the last 3 matches.

Hey, guys,
I am just shocked, but now i am laughing at its unbelievable result. Can all of you imagine me as laughing? What a result! Our Roma could not catch Inter?!
Reply to this
Suri, imagine if I were shocked seeing the entire match without seeing ROMA reacting as gladiators, I can imagine you being such a Totti fan. But don't panic, I think Roma still can catch Inter. They are slowing down and suffering with the last 3 victories. Keep your hope high, hey, I am.
By the way, I posted your preview on Roma - Catania.

I'm so sorry for you Suri, no I can't but I understand, I felt the same when Argentina lost 3-0 to Brazil in Coppa America.
