"Cagliari holds Roma to costly draw."
Roma
was held to a 0-0 draw by visiting Cagliari
on Monday and failed to reclaim the Serie A lead from Juventus
despite remaining unbeaten.
It was Roma's third consecutive draw after opening the
season with 10 straight wins.
Still without injured captain Francesco Totti, Roma moved
within one point of Juve, which won 2-0 at Livorno
on Sunday.
''Our goal at the start of the season was to reach the
Champions League and we're still seven points ahead of fourth place,'' Roma midfielder
Daniele De Rossi said. ''That said, we'll of course try to get the lead back.''
Despite dominating for long stretches, the closest Roma
came to scoring came when Gervinho hit the post with a header in the 38th
minute at the Stadio Olimpico.
Having grown frustrated by his squad's inability to
score, Roma coach Rudi Garcia was sent off for protests in the 72nd and watched
the end of the match from the stands.
Cagliari moved level with struggling AC Milan
in 13th place.
The match was moved to Monday to let the pitch recover
from Saturday's Italy-Argentina rugby test.
Roma dominated the first half but couldn't quite find the
target.
Gervinho, Maicon, Kevin Strootman and Dodo each had
chances in the opening 10 minutes.
In the 39th, Strootman collected a pass behind the
defense and had only the goalkeeper to beat but Cagliari `keeper Vlada Avramov
saved his shot by the near post.
Cagliari threatened with a header from Victor Ibarbo in
the 34th but Roma goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis made a diving save.
Roma again took the initiative after halftime but Avramov
made a spectacular save on a long shot from Maicon in the 51st.
A header from Cagliari forward Marco Sau found the net
but was waved off for offside in the 54th.
Roma defender Mehdi Benatia limped off with an apparent
injury in the final minutes and Avramov preserved the draw by stopping a
close-range header from De Rossi in added time.
Avramov ''was the best player on the pitch,'' De Rossi
said.
A minute of silence was observed before the match in
memory of the victims of recent flooding in Sardinia, and Roma wore black
armbands in memory of Amedeo Amadei, the center forward of the Giallorossi
squad that won the 1942 Serie A title. Amadei died Sunday at age 92.
