Our boy "Almond Joy" showed Roma some love and talked about the hottest team in all of Serie A right now.

The Giallorossi dominated Saturday evening, soundly defeating Palermo during their round 24 match, courtesy of one aka Matteo Brighi.

Roma's well-organized attack early-on, met by a laid back Palermo XI content to play fetch, yielded several corners but no damaging finish. As expected Palermo took a crack at it on the counterattack, but were also taking advantage of the space given to Federico Balzaretti to move forward—as Marco Motta seemed willing to concede ground. 8 minutes in, Francesco Totti would link up with Rodrigo Taddei—who was eager to go it alone, missing John Arne Riise open on the far side. The Brazilian’s offering went in low to keeper Salvatore Sirigo, who easily made the save.

The visitors would strike back soon thereafter, as Mattia Cassani worked a clever play with Fabio Simplicio down the right. Cassani’s cross was allowed to roll through by Edison Cavani to Fabrizio Miccoli, but from 12 yards the striker lofted his shot skyward. A 30 yard shot from Giulio Migliaccio ten minutes later forced Julio Sergio to make a respectable save. The strike would be just enough of a threat to introduce some doubt in the Roma defense, spurring the squad into regaining possession.
