Totti’s last derby disappoints

Yesterday's Derby della Capitale threw away any hopes of the league title remaining for Roma, with the gap between current table-toppers Juventus extending to 9 points after the Bianconeri’s 2-2 draw with Atalanta in Bergamo and the Giallorossi’s shocking 1-3 loss to Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma captain Francesco Totti sought to end his last Derby della Capitale on a high with an expected win for the Giallorossi, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the case on Sunday.

Roma started out the match determined with their top goal scorer of the season Edin Dzeko getting his shot denied by Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha just two minutes after kick off.

It was the 22 year old Keita Balde who put his name first on the scoring sheet, scoring an impressive goal at the 12th minute getting past Emerson Plamieri and then nutmegging Federico Fazio before the ball finally getting past Roma goalkeeper Szczesny.
