Roma .v. juve

Half Time
Roma 1 juve 2

The atmosphere seems really nasty! Capello, Zebina and Emerson getting a lot of verbal abuse from the home fans.

juve went 1-0 up after 15 minutes through an offside Cannavaro goal from a freekick. To be fair to the referee and linesman, it was a very difficult decision to make, but the replays show it was clearly offside.

Roma were very quiet after that, but scored when Totti put Cassano through who slid it under Buffon.

Then a minute later juve were given a disgraceful penalty. I think it was Zalayeta who fell over like he'd been shot, with no contact from the Roma defender. Plus the challenge was clearly outside the box, but referee Racalbuto pointed to the spot! The Roma players were incensed and lucky not to have someone sent off! The referee spoke to his linesman, but didn't change his decision, and Del Piero blasted it into the top corner.

Roma will need to play better in the second half, but if the referee carries on like this juve will probably get another 3 penalties and Roma will be lucky to have 11 men on the pitch!
