Good comeback from the Aquile after a shaky start, but Venezia made so many costly mistakes.
Almost an own goal from Romagnoli on the Venezia corner, Provedel has to fingertip it round the post!
Into 4 minutes of stoppages at the Olimpico.
Ultimately a fair result, both sides had chances and rattled the woodwork.
Pedro bursts down the right, floats in a cross, Castrovilli just grazes it and Tchaouna nods over!
Cagliari counter, Pavoletti scuffs the finish horribly wide!
Only 4 minutes of stoppages in Cagliari.
Soule and Dovbyk off, El Shaarawy and Abraham on for Roma.
Lazio again, Castellanos on the counter and curler thumps the far post!
Manuel Lazzari got to the by-line, pulled it across the six-yard box and in trying to avoid the Loum Tchaouna tap-in, Giorgio Altare did it himself instead.
Haps again, manages to get a shot away from the tightest of angles and Provedel throws himself in the way!
Dovbyk on the counter, snapshot parried by Scuffet into the path of Pellegrini, who was offside on the rebound.
What a save from Svilar! Razvan Marin hit a powerful strike from the edge of the box and Svilar just fingertipped it onto the crossbar!
Dybala floats a wonderful ball into the box, Dovbyk leaps and heads it onto the crossbar!
Mancini surges forward and hits a scorcher, but it flashes wide.
Dybala into the wall, which seemed to include three quarters of the Cagliari squad.

Baldanzi attempt charged down. Dybala gets called to the touchline, followed by cheers from the Roma fans.
