Soccer-Florenzi's 60-metre sprint caps Roma win

MILAN, May 3 (Reuters) - Alessandro Florenzi ran more than half the length of the field to score and cap a 2-0 win for AS Roma over Genoa as they kept up their chase for a place in the Champions League on Sunday.

Seydou Doumbia gave Roma the lead 10 minutes before halftime, scoring for the second game in a row after the ball broke kindly for him in the Genoa area.

The Ivorian joined Roma from CSKA Moscow in January and endured some harsh criticism before breaking his duck in the 3-0 win at Sassuolo in midweek.
