Serie A - Roma - Siena 1:1

Siena scored their first goal in Serie A this term to claim a deserved point from a 1-1 draw with a lacklustre Roma side at the Stadio Olimpico
Pablo Osvaldo gave the home side the lead on 25 minutes when he slipped the ball over the line after some fine play by Marco Borriello in setting up his Roma team-mate.
Siena always carried a threat in the second period as Roma gradually sat deeper and deeper.
They were made to pay with just two minutes left on the clock as substitute Roberto Vitiello converted after Franco Brienza's shot had come back off a post.
Roma are in 14th spot in the table with two points from three games with Siena in 15th spot. Neither side has won a match this season with Roma boss Luis Enrique cutting a frustrated figure as Siena piled on the pressure in the second half.
Roma had won their last four home meetings against Siena in Serie A, conceding just one goal.
