AS Roma grabbed another three points on their latest Italian Serie A fixture after defeating newly promoted side Empoli on Saturday.
Setting their focus for midweek Champions League action, Roma were keen on grabbing an early goal in that tie.
Playing away from home didn't stop the Giallorossi's ambition in snatching all three points, though it was far from an easy battle.
The away team's vigorous attempt was eventually rewarded when Luigi Sepe unfortunately scored an own goal just before half time break.
Already taking a one goal lead, Roma still keen on pushing forward, but Empoli were also determined in getting an equalizing goal creating an intense battle.
In the end, no more goals were scored in that second period as Giallorossi holding on to their slender lead until the final whistle was blown.
