MILAN - The Scudetto remains on ice as Roma sent Inter crashing to their first defeat of the 2006/07 Serie A season. Francesco Totti's deflected free kick and Marco Cassetti's injury-time goal ensured all three points for the capital side after Marco Materazzi's penalty cancelled out Simone Perrotta's opener. Inter, beaten in the league for the first time this season after 25 wins and 6 draws, need six points from the remaining six fixtures to wrap up their fifteenth title. Mancini made three changes to the team that held Palermo on Sunday, with Cordoba in for Burdisso in defence, Stankovic preferred to Dacourt in the middle, and Ibrahimovic in place of Crespo up front. Roma fielded a 4-5-1 formation with Totti as the lone striker, and the Giallorossi's numerical advantage in midfield showed as Spalletti's men conceded few spaces in the opening half. The first real chance came on 20 minutes and it went Roma's way when Julio Cesar saved Totti's diagonal effort. Maicon blocked Perrotta's follow-up to deny the Italy midfielder a sure goal. Inter came closest to a first-half goal in the 37th minute when Dejan Stankovic's 25-yard strike bounced off the top of Doni's crossbar. Julio Cesar pulled off another terrific save before the interval, tipping Mancini's 20-yard snapshot on to the bar, but there was nothing he could do to stop Roma taking the lead on 43 minutes. De Rossi played to Chivu on the by-line and the Romanian defender swung in a low cross for Perrotta to slide over from two yards out. Inter were level seven minutes after the break when Materazzi sent Doni the wrong way from the penalty spot after a foul by the Roma keeper on Adriano. There was only one team on the pitch in the second half of Sunday's draw with Palermo, and it was a similar situation against Roma as the Nerazzurri piled on the pressure after Materazzi's sixth goal of the season. Adriano was brilliantly denied by Doni who pushed the Brazilian's header on to the post in the 59th minute. Ibrahimovic then poked wide a Stankovic cross-shot, and Roma had their keeper to thank again for a one-handed save from Stankovic's 25-yard drive. Nine minutes from time Maicon received on the right from Figo and flashed his cross-shot just wide of the left post. But the Meazza fell silent with sixty seconds to play when Totti's free kick took a wicked deflection off Figo, giving Julio Cesar no chance of making a save. Giallorossi substitute Cassetti added insult to injury in time added on with Roma's third goal, a low shot between the legs of Cordoba.
