ROME -- Lazio took city bragging rights by beating Roma 1-0 Sunday in a derby to win a heated Italian Cup final and maintain its recent edge in the series. Senad Lulic scored in the 71st minute at the Stadio Olimpico after goalkeeper Bogdan Lobont failed to clear a cross from Antonio Candreva, leaving the unmarked Bosnia-Herzegovina midfielder to put the ball into the net at the far post. "This victory wont be forgotten," Lulic said. "I found myself there in the right moment. I dedicate this goal to my wife, who is pregnant." Lazio has now won four of the last five derbies, with the last meeting a 1-1 draw in April. Its sixth Italian Cup title also earned Lazio a spot in next seasons Europa League group phase. Worries of fan violence at the match were high and there were brief clashes despite the presence of thousands of police officers both inside and outside the stadium. Also, South Korean rapper PSY was met with boos and small firework explosions during a pre-game performance. Organizers responded by raising the volume while he sang his hit, "Gangnam Style," to drown out the dissent. Roma started with an attacking 4-2-3-1 lineup featuring Erik Lamela, Francesco Totti and Marquinho behind centre forward Mattia Destro. Lazio countered with a 4-5-1 spearheaded by veteran Germany forward Miroslav Klose. Klose had the first opportunity four minutes in but missed wide. Totti, Romas 36-year-old captain, had his clubs first chance in the ninth, a bouncing shot that was stopped by Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti near the post. A minute later, United States midfielder Michael Bradley dribbled free and had a clear look at the target but sent his angled effort wide. Klose had an even better chance in the 35th but his close-range header was blocked by Lobont. Roma also wasted a header in the 45th when Destros effort from within the box sailed over the bar. Five yellow cards were handed out in the first half, with both sides playing very physically. The physical battle continued at the start of the second half and Lazio captain Cristian Ledesma exited on a stretcher in the 53rd following contact with Destro. Eventually the match opened up and there was end-to-end action, with Totti producing three more shots and Klose failing to redirect a volley cross from Mauri, Ledesmas replacement, in the 68th. Two minutes after Lulics goal, Roma thought it had scored with a free kick from Totti that bounced off Marchetti and the underside of the bar but the ball did not go in. In the 90th, Panagiotis Tachtsidis was shown a red card on Romas bench for protests and Totti then received a yellow, also for protests. In all, eight yellow cards -- four for each side -- and one red were handed out. Ahead of the game, police confiscated bags of knives, rocks, clubs and other homemade weapons hidden outside the stadium. Still, fans inside the stadium set off loud fireworks throughout the match and the start of the second half was delayed when smoke bombs were thrown onto the pitch. As for the reception during PSYs performance, the rapper appeared embarrassed but told fans afterward in Italian, "I love Italy." It was unclear if the boos were of a racist nature, although fans for both clubs have come under attack this season for racist chanting. Dwight Howard Jersey .

Louisville coach Rick Pitino didnt need to look very far for a cautionary tale for his 14th-ranked Cardinals (6-1) as they head west to Phoenix to play Grand Canyon (3-3) at 9 p.m. ET Saturday at GCU Arena.Pitino started his film session Thursday with footage of Indiana losing to Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne earlier this season. Billed as the biggest home game in years for IPFW, the Mastadons jumped out to a big lead and knocked off the Hoosiers in a program-defining win.Well, that is the first real road game, Pitino said. ... The first clip I am going to show is the Indiana vs. Fort Wayne to get the guys to understand that its a true road game. We need it.Thats why I wanted it because we need it desperately. Look, I was hoping to be 7-0, but we are 6-1 and we are playing excellent defense. I have no complaints.Pitino wants to see his team tested in a tough environment. He compared it with the atmosphere they will see at small but intense arenas in the ACC like Dukes Cameron Indoor or home courts like Clemson or Georgia Tech.For Grand Canyon, the opportunity to host a recent national champion like Louisville is golden. The Antelopes have played teams like Duke, Indiana, Louisville, Kentucky, San Diego State and Utah but never at GCU arena.Its huge for the school and the program, Phoenix Suns owner and Grand Canyon booster Jerry Colangelo said. A lot of times schools will say theyll come, but they want to play on a neutral court. The risk of possibly losing is too great. When Louisville was willing to do what theyre doing, that says a lot about their character and their willingness to help. I think its a good story.Grand Canyon senior Dewayne Russell cant wait for the Cardinals to come to town.Its going to be rocking, Russell said. I remember when I first got to the school and sitting right there with my grandmother. To see the whole thing build and a school like Louisville come in here its amazing.At 3-3, the Lopes (short for Antelopes) havent had the start to the season they would have liked, but a home game vs. Louisville might be just what the doctor ordered for coach Dan Majerles crew.We tried to beef up our schedule so the kids can see that were playing good competition, Majerle said. Our goal ultimately is to be a top-25 team.dddddddddddd Were still a long way away from that, but our guys need to see these kind of games. Its fun for our guys. Its not so fun for me, but its a good opportunity for our guys.Grand Canyon started the season with a 96-61 loss at Duke and an 85-76 loss at Penn State before beating Albany, Marist and Coppin State. On Monday, the Lopes missed 20 of 24 3-point attempts in a tough 76-64 loss to SIU Edwardsville, falling to 3-3.The lone bright spot from Mondays loss to SIU-Edwardsville was Russell, the 5-foot-11, 155-pound guard who scored 26 points. Majerle said Russell has come a long way.Ill be honest with you. When he first got here, he wasnt very good, Majerle said. He wasnt a very good teammate. I remember to this day when he stood up and said, Youll never have to worry about me again.Russell and 6-6 forward Keonta Vernon are the two players Louisville will have to focus on stopping. The pair take more than 57 percent of Grand Canyons shots so far this season.For Louisville, Saturday is about staying focused in a wild road environment. Pitino said he wants to see his team continue to play exemplary defense.For a young, inexperienced team we played super defense and for the last seven games weve played great defense, Pitino said. We just have to keep going inside and instead of playing east to west play north to south and go into the post and cut off the post.Louisvilles inside game was more impressive against Purdue than it has been for most of the season. Starting power forward Jaylen Johnson is averaging 9.9 points and 8.6 rebounds. Starting center Mangok Mathiang is averaging just 6.7 points and 6.3 rebounds.The key for Louisville so far this season has been depth. Eight different players are averaging more than 5.0 points per game and nine players are playing double-digit minutes.GAME NOTES -- Louisville sophomore G Donovan Mitchell has 19 steals in the first seven games. ... The Cardinals are holding opponents to just 57.9 points per game. ... No Louisville foe has scored more than 66 points in a game this season. ... Grand Canyon has not scored uner 61 points in a game this season. ' ' '
