Emanuele Giaccherni opened the scoring in the sixth minute and Del Piero doubled the lead on the half-hour mark from 25 yards.

Any chance of a Roma comeback disappeared in the 69th minute when Erik Lamela was sent off, and an own goal from Simon Kjaer competed a miserable night for the capital club in stoppage time.
