RESULTS Serie A Week 25: FC INTER 1 - 1 AS ROMA Goal by Francesco Totti and Javier Zanetti "Both Captains Fought Hard for their Teams!"

            

Oh no, now, it is Inter.  In the 56th minute, midfielder Luis Figo misses the target after a head assist by Hernan crespo. Figo shots from the center of the box but just missed it!  

Boy, both teams are shooting on goal trying to score.  Inter need to equalize the match soon, if not risking to have their first defeat in the Serie A.

In the 58th minute, Inter Coach Roberto Mancini makes his second substitution. Esteban Cambiasso out, Balotelli in.

In the 60th minute, Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti  substitutes David Pizarro out and Alberto Aquilani in.  Wonder why Spalletti took so long to makes his first substititution.

Just one minute later, in the 61st minute, Inter Coach makes his last substitution. Luis Figo out, Pele in.

In the 72nd minute, midfielder Simone Perrotta sends a right footed shot from the right side of the box after an assist by Mirko Vucinic. Inter cleared the chance for Roma to take the lead.  Roma gets a corner.

In the 73rd minute, Francesco Totti sends a beautiful assist to Alberto Aquilani only to be blocked by INTER! Mamma mia!

In the 77th minute, Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti makes his second substitution. Mirko Vucinic out, Ludovic Giuly in.

In the 86th minute, Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti makes his third substittution. Taddei out, Juan in.

Unbelievable!!!!!!


In the 88th minute, Inter Captain Javier Zanetti saves the honor of the neroazzurri with a goal from the edge of the area into the bottom left corner.!!!!!! Amazing,,, just amazing, but Inter in the last minutes put an end to the Roman gladiator's victory.... Inter continues to be unbeating!!!



In the 95th minute, Hernan Crespo almost got the winning goal!

It is not possible!!!  Despite Roma having 57% ball possession compared to Inter's 43%, Roma could not hold the victory.  Match is so hot that Roma defender Philippe Mexes was even sent off in the 84th minute after getting his second yellow card!!!!!

Good thing about this match is seeing both captains defending their teams and scoring the goals for the draw.  Way to go for Roma Captain Francesco Totti and Inter Captain Javier Zanetti!

    At least Roma got a draw and shorten the distance with Inter, but i am upset with the draw of Catania - Milan because Fiorentina got back the 4th position.

    Congrats to all Roma fans. Mark you can be happy too because you did not lose thanks to Zanetti.
