Roma unbeaten at home since February

Roma's last defeat in a competitive home match came on 1 February 2006 when they lost 1-0 to Juventus in the Coppa Italia. In the thirteen competitive (Serie A, Coppa Italia & European fixtures) played since then, the Giallorossi have notched 10 wins and 3 draws.

No home Serie A defeat since December

Last Roma draw against... Inter

Roma's last draw in a competitive match was the 1-1 Coppa Italia final first-leg stalemate with Inter on 3 May 2006. Since then the Giallorossi have won four and lost three.

No goal against Roma at Olimpico for 352 minutes

Julio Cruz's 8th-minute goal in the 2005/06 Coppa Italia final first leg was the last time Roma let in a goal at home.

ROME - Hernan Crespo scored on the stroke of half time as Inter edged Roma 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Argentine striker, who scored in last month's Super Cup victory over the Giallorossi, netted the decisive goal on 44 minutes, shooting through Doni's legs from a tight angle after leaving Mexes for dead.

Inter could have doubled their lead eight minutes after the restart when Mexes brought down Crespo in the Roma area, but Ibrahimovic saw his resulting spot kick saved by the Roma goalkeeper.

The Nerazzurri went close again in the final stages when Javier Zanetti unleashed a fierce strike from distance which smacked the upright with Doni beaten.

Inter finished the game with ten men when Patrick Vieira was sent off in stoppage time for a second yellow.
