Arcadio Venturi scores the last of his 18 goals for Roma from the penalty spot in front of the Curva Sud at the Stadio Olimpico. After going behind against Udinese, Arcadio's strike drew the teams level in Week 20 of Serie A 1956-57 – his final season in a Giallorossi shirt. Severino Lojodice and two braces each from Gunnar Nordahl and Dino Da Costa rounded off a comprehensive 6-1 win for Roma.
