Series A: Rome-Treviso 1 – 0



May 7, 2006 - Rome, Olympic Stadium.The verdict on just who's going to qualify for next year's Championship League play has been postponed until next week. Rome played a good match despite the number of players out of commission, including Francesco Totti (sick at home with fever) and the determination of Treviso to bow pout of Series A competition with honour. Rome's 16 year-old Okaka started the game and immediately proved to be the liveliest player on the pitch and created no little worries for Treviso's defenders until the 36th minute of play when he butted the ball over to Tommasi for an assist and the day's only goal,the Roman midfielder's second of the season.Both teams gave the spectators their money's worth in the second half despite the unseasonably hot weather in the national capital, but the score remained unchanged. Rome's entire season is now hanging on the next two matches, both - strangely enough - to be played at Milano's San Siro Stadium,: the first against Inter in the return match of Italia Cup competition, the second on Sunday against Milan in the season's closer in which we'll probably finally witness Francesco Totti's return to play.
