| AS Roma Soccer Tickets. Lazio striker Paolo Di Canio made a fairytale return to the Rome derby when he scored one goal and set up another in a 3-1 win over rivals AS Roma on Thursday.
The result ended a run of 10 derbies without success for Lazio and lifted them to 12th place in Serie A on 20 points, three fewer than eighth-placed Roma. 'I didn't think it would be this great. I didn't believe we could control the match in that way,' said Di Canio. 'I was worried but my team mates kept me calm. With this shirt on, you don't need to be frightened of anything. 'It's a double pleasure, because people kept telling me: 'You're old, you won't be able to stay on your feet'.' |

But the striker, who left English Premier League club Charlton Athletic to return to Rome, soon put his team in front when he sprinted between defenders Philippe Mexes and Christian Panucci to volley Fabio Liverani's long ball into the net. |
