Totti tied Baggio with a precise free kick around a wall in the 30th minute of Roma's match at Bari on Sunday, leveling the game at 1-1, then added a penalty in the 57th to equalize again at 2-2 and move past Baggio. 

They were the 13th and 14th goals this season for the 34-year-old Totti. 

Totti nearly had a hit trick when Roma was awarded another penalty, but his spot kick hit the post. Roma won the game 3-2 courtesy to a goal from Aleandro Rosi in injury time. 

Silvio Piola, who won the World Cup with Italy in 1938, tops the all-time list with 274 goals, followed by Gunnar Nordahl (225), Giuseppe Meazza (216) and Jose Altafini (216). 

Totti made his Serie A debut in 1993 at the age of 16 and has played his entire career with Roma, his hometown club.
 Baggio played between 1986 and 2004.
