Fazio always confident goal would come

FA

Read everything match-winner Federico Fazio had to say in the wake of Saturday's dramatic 1-0 win over Cagliari.

Roma took the lead at the Stadio Olimpico in the 94th minute, as Fazio turned home from a last-gasp free-kick swung into the box.

“We spent the whole game trying to score," Fazio said. "Sooner or later we had to get a goal and eventually it came.”

It looked as if you weren't going to, though. That was a massive goal you scored...

“Cagliari played a waiting game and spent the entire second half in defence. They played the game they wanted to, just as Genoa and Chievo did.

“It was tough but we got the three points in the end. We kept possession well. The goal had to come sooner or later and it did. We all really wanted it.”

Who would you like to dedicate your goal to?

“My wife.”

It's a big result and now you have Torino in the cup and then Juventus...

“We just have to keep focusing on ourselves and on doing our jobs. We've got the three points today and we're all happy. The most important game now is the next one.”
