Roma's record run ends after 1-1 draw with Inter

The pressure paid off a minute from time when Materazzi headed a corner in at the near post.

Fiorentina's fans must have anticipated an easy victory over mid-table Siena when Serie A's top scorer Luca Toni muscled in front of his marker to sidefoot Stefano Fiore's cross past keeper Marco Fortin in the third minute.

Only a full-stretch save by Fortin prevented Toni from heading his 24th Serie A goal of the season soon after.

Siena struck back after 15 minutes, Enrico Chiesa breaking down the left before unleashing a dipping shot that Bogdan Lobont spilled for Simone Vergassola to score.

Visiting Siena had chances each side of halftime to take the lead. Tomas Locatelli headed narrowly wide from a Chiesa cross and a mistake by defender Dario Dainelli allowed Erjon Bogdani to run through alone before Lobont turned his shot round the post.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Luis Jimenez's header from a free kick forced a reflex save by Fortin and, in the goalmouth scramble that followed, striker Giampaolo Pazzini netted.

Livorno's grip on sixth place, Italy's final UEFA Cup berth, loosened when they lost 1-0 to a goal by Cagliari striker David Suazo.

The defeat left Livorno on 44 points, three ahead of Chievo Verona, who drew 2-2 with Lazio.
