Roma manager Rudi Garcia has said that his side were unlucky not to beat Hellas Verona in their Serie A match this afternoon.

Francesco Totti fired the Giallorossi into the lead before an own goal from Seydou Keita saw the game finish in a 1-1 draw.

"We played well in the first half and it was incredible to go into the locker room at 1-1. They scored with half a chance," Garcia told Sky Sport Italia.

"It's true we had less patience and made more mistakes in the second half, but with a bit of luck we could've won it if Adem Ljajic's free kick hadn't hit the bar.

"Don't forget we played three days ago, so in the final 15 minutes it was normal to feel tired."

Roma have now drawn six of their last seven league games and are nine points adrift of leaders Juventus.
