A goalless draw at the Stadio Olimpico, but the Derby Della Capitale hasn’t been a bore. Roma came out finally looking like the team that everyone’s been waiting for this season, fielding Francesco Totti, Jérémy Menez and Mirko Vučinić in the attack. Lazio answered with Mauro Zárate, Giuseppe Sculli and Sergio Floccari, although it’s been Hernanes that’s threatened the most.
Roma Vs. Lazio: No Score At The Halftime Whistle
Roma have had the better of the chances, but unfortunately for the home side, close only counts in horseshoes. If there were points for proximity to goal, the Lupi would be ahead, but alas David Pizarro’s fifth minute shot that ricocheted off the crossbar will simply go down as a missed opportunity. Same for a 41st minute attempt by Menez that was cleared off the line by Cristian Ledesma.
Lazio’s best chance came in the 34th minute, when Hernanes took a chance from the left side that went just inches wide of the far post. As it stands now, if Lazio score, it will be through the work of Hernanes down the left.
