Football: Roma denied first victory

ROME: Roberto Vitiello struck two minutes from time to deny Roma coach Luis Enrique a first victory in five outings as Siena snatched a 1-1 draw in the capital. Roma had led through Daniel Osvaldo’s first-half strike but having failed to turn possession into pressure, they were hit with a late blow. The result means neither side have yet won a match this season. The final whistle was met with a cacophony of jeers from disgruntled home fans.
