MILAN (AP) " Francesco Totti converted a penalty deep into stoppage time to send Roma through to the Italian Cup semifinal against city rival Lazio with a narrow 2-1 win over second-division Cesena on Wednesday. "I think the penalty was obvious, really clear, Agliardi took down Strootman," Totti said. We were facing a team which doesn't belong in Serie B, which was well organized, which played openly, without any fear." "We hope to reach the final, we mustn't think it's a derby, but a semifinal like all the others," Totti said. Roma was made to suffer by a plucky Cesena side, which will rue its numerous missed opportunities in the first half.
