RESULT Serie A Week 24 - Twenty Fourth Round ROMA 1 - 0 FIORENTINA Goal by Cicinho
By Anna Italia
ROMA SECURED THE SECOND POSITION, WHILE FIORENTINA
MIGHT GO DOWN TO THE FIFTH POSITION IF MILAN BEAT PALERMO
AS ROMA 1 - 0 FIORENTINA 
54' Cicinho
Substitutions: 62' Rodrigo Taddei out, Simone Perrotta in 43' Adrian Mutu out, Paga Waigo in
68' Mirko Vucinic out, Marco Cassetti in 68' Riccardo Montolivo out, Daniele Cacia in
80' Ludovic Giuly out, David Pizzarro in 77' Martin Jorgensen out, Fabio Liverani in
Roma's victory keeps Juventus in the 3rd position, while Fiorentina's defeat can bring AC MILAN to the fourth position if beating Palermo! With the result of the draw of Sampdoria 1 - 1 Inter , the distance between Roma and Inter are only 9 points. Inter has 60 points, Roma 51 points and Juventus 47 points.
Bad news for Fiorentina occurs in the 43rd minute when striker Adrian Mutu had to leave the field. Mutu seemed to have twisted a knee. Fiorentina Coach Cesare Prandelli is forced to substitute Mutu for Papa Waigo.
Although the first half ends 0-0, it was until the 54th minute when CICINHO gave Roma the lead. Cicinho scores his first goal in the Serie A with a left footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom right corner!!! Well Done Cicinho.

Just previous to the goal, great combination between midfielder Daniele De Rossi and Mirko Vucinic who shot from the left side of the box only to be blocked by Fiorentina defense.
It was clear that Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu's injury affected the good functioning of Fiorentina. Unfortunately, neither Papa Waigo nor striker Christian Vieri could made the difference and Fiorentina lost three golden points.
