Roma v Cagliari - live updates

For most of the match it was very comfortable but there were a few nervous moments late. Thanks for following the match with us.

But Rui Patricio comes out of his goal to dive on the loose ball.

Cagliari pushing for an equaliser.

A defensive substitution for Roma.

Out of nothing Cagliari nearly stole a point as Nandez puts a low cross from the right flank which finds Joao Pedro but his effort is pushed onto the bar by Rui Patricio.

Mkhitaryan plays the ball to the English striker in the box who has his back to goal and tries a flick backwards but Goldaniga blocks the shot.

He drives to the edge of the box and then slips in Shomurodov whose effort is stopped by the keeper.

The winger is replaced by Shomurodov.

From Zaniolo but though he shoots past the keeper it also just beats the far post.

A lunging challege from Altare who could have got a red card for the foul with the studs on the winger's shin. He went for the ball but was reckless.

The first change of the game.

After Afana-Gyan was dispossessed the former Chelsea striker tried to push the ball past the diving keeper who gathered at the second attempt.

And he then squares the ball, seemingly to Abraham, but Veretout latches onto the pass and shoots at goal forcing Cragno into a save.

But the referee tells him to get up.

After Abraham set him free his touch was a little too far in front of him and the winger lunged for the ball, at the same time he was shoved by a defender, and caught the goalkeeper's head. Very difficult to see if it was deliberate. If it was it's a red card, if it isn't it's not a yellow.

But the former Arsenal man fires over the bar.

And Pavoretti meets it at the near post but his shot is deflected wide.

He muscles past Zappa who is very fortunate to get a foul but in any case Altare blocks the Ghanian winger's shot.

But the forward takes an air-kick and misses the ball completely.
