Stadio Olimpico
The fans in the stands stared in shock at this scene, as Heinze attempted to steal the ball from Totti in the backfield but failed to intercept the ball, causing a mistake.
After hooking the ball back at his feet, Totti faced the advancing Casillas and slanted a pass towards the right side of the penalty area.
Casillas reacted very swiftly, moving sideways with both his hands and feet, but Mancini nudged the ball aside and then easily slotted it into the empty net, effortlessly breaching Real Madrid's goal.
In an instant, the entire stadium turned into a sea of joy.
Rome's fans celebrated passionately in the stands, rewriting "history" as they were set to eliminate Real Madrid and take a decisive step towards the quarter-finals.
"2:1"
"Rome has taken the lead!"
"Totti, up against Heinze, showed exquisite ball control skills."
"Heinze's interception wasn't clean."
"Facing Casillas, Totti calmly passed the ball to a teammate in space."
