1982/83: A 3-1 victory at the Olimpico followed by a 2-2 in Firenze. A repeat sounds neither impossible nor unlikely.

Roma 2 – Udinese 0
A great first leg result with a commanding performance, as expected.
GAME
94′ One last chance for Udinese on the corner as a cross lazily rolled though the box onto the unknowing foot of Daniele.
93′ Burdisso with a homing mechanism on every ball into the box.
Di Natale for the turn but he had no angle to shoot. Goal kick, which will be taken very, very slowly.
91′ There looks to be a lot of legs which are more than happy to watch the ball bound around the pitch waiting for the final whistle.
Four minutes.
David tries to beat Asamoah in a race; fails miserably.
88′ Yellow card! Isla for jumping on Totti’s back like a rambunctious chimp.
Totti goes to show Riise how left-footed volleys are done but winds up with Pepe up his arse. Baptista once again on the counter.
86′ Asamoah’s engine is running like it’s minute one.
Lukovic had faked Rodrigo right out of his Brazilian back down the other way.

Udinese v Roma: Leg 1
Gianni De Biasi:
“The Cup is an important goal, but not a primary one, that is salvation in the league.”
