Francesco Totti inspired Roma to a 3-1 victory over Inter Milan to put the Serie A title celebrations on hold on Wednesday.
Totti's late freekick from the edge of the area was deflected by an Inter boot and handed the visitors a last-gasp lead after Marco Materazzi's spot kick had equalized Simone Perrotta's 44th minute opener for Roma.
Substitute Marco Cassetti then beat Inter keeper Julio Cesar in the dying seconds with a well-struck shot which stunned the hosts.
It is Inter's first defeat in 32 matches this season and means they will now have to wait before celebrating what will be their first league title won on the field of play since 1989.
With six matches remaining Inter, who were handed the Scudetto last season in the wake of Juventus's relegation to Serie B for match-fixing, lead second-placed Roma by 13 points.
Inter seemed strangely overawed by a Roma side who had obviously come to the San Siro motivated to ruin their party plans.
"We shouldn't have lost this match," said Inter coach Roberto Mancini.
"It hurts a little. We had hoped to finish the season unbeaten," he said. "We didn't play well in the first half. It was very good after the break and then their [second] goal was a bit lucky, it's a pity."
"But it's not a problem to put the party on hold," Mancini added.
In other Serie A action, AC Milan beat Ascoli 5-2, Lazio were held to a goalless draw by Chievo, Empoli beat Atalanta 2-0 and Parma beat Fiorentina by the same scoreline.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
Rafael Nadal on Wednesday said the upcoming French Open would be the moment to “give everything and die” on the court after his comeback from injury in Barcelona was curtailed by Alex de Minaur. The 22-time Grand Slam title winner, back playing this week after three months on the sidelines, battled well, but eventually crumbled 7-5, 6-1 against the world No. 11 from Australia in the second round. Nadal, 37, who missed virtually all of last season, is hoping to compete at the French Open next month where he is the record 14-time champion. The Spaniard said the clash with De Minaur was
