On Week 4 game ending: AS Roma 2 – 0 Lazio
A goalless draw stopping the race for the Scudetto for Roma. Lazio, despite the draw, could be satisfied having denied Roma to take the full 3 points. Bragging rights to rule the City of Rome remaining divided. Roma could not take advantage of Juventus also getting a draw with Hellas Verona and the gap remaining 9 points, though Roma have a pending game.
Highlight of the game is the return of Lazio midfielder Stefano Mauri after 8 months! Mauri replaced forward Keita in the 45th minute.
Roma having the best forward attack while Lazio limiting to defense. Yet, the goals did not arrive. It’s a fact that the better part is for Lazio because this draw keeps coach Edy Reja without a defeat in 2014 having 3 wins, 3 draws.
