The match kicks off in glorious sunshine at the Stadio Olimpico.

BIG MISS! Substitute Miroslav Klose puts the ball over the bar from six yards after a brilliant strong run by fellow sub Keita. That just about sums up Lazio's day.

Tiem running out for Lazio now. They can have no complaints about the result, with Roma superior in every department.

Lazio sub: Matri on, Candreva off.

Roma sub: Iturbe on, Gervinho off.

CHANCE! Nainggolan should have put the game to bed there. dzeko spots the run of Falque, whose shot is miscued to Nainggolan, who then lashes wide when he should score.

Chance for Gervinho, who for second appears to be closing in on goal, but the ball just runs away from him and the Ivorian can't keep it in.

CLOSE! Candreva's free-kick deflects off the Roma wall and goes inches wide.

YELLOW CARD: Anderson is tripped by Digne as he drives into the box. Digne has a yellow and Lazio have a free-kick in a dangerous area.

Lazio sub: Keita on, Radu off.

FISTY CUFFS! Radu is booked as he is one of many players involved in an altercation. Suprising only one player was booked there.

That puts daylight between the sides, and it's no less than Roma deserve.

GOAL! Roma 2-0 Lazio: Gervinho makes it 2-0! The former Arsenal man is sent clean through and drills a low shot inside the near post.

Dzeko gets the ball on the edge of the box, but sweeps it left-footed over the bar.

Roma will be hoping that injury to Salah isn't as bad as it looks. The Egyptian was in a bad way.

Roma sub: Florenzi on, Salah off.

Salah sustains a heavy challenge on his ankle and has to be stretchered off. Looks serious for the forward.

Salah and Dzeko linking so well today. This time Dzeko lays off a brilliant first-time pass to the Egyptian, but he can't quite keep it under control.

Lazio appear to be making a definite effort to keep hold of the ball in midfield. Roma still look comfortable though.
