UEL | Roma 1-1 Athletic Club: Dovbyk not enough for victory

94'

Nico Williams booked, then Shomurodov is not offside, but does push his marker.

93'

Berenguer gets down the left again, but the finish is smothered by Svilar.

90'

Into six minutes of stoppages in Rome.

89'

Berenguer, formerly of Torino, dribbles into the box and tries to get the shot away, but Mancini steals the ball off his boot.

88'

Roma respond with a corner, not cleared, then Hermoso header is relatively easy for the goalkeeper.

86'
Roma 1-1 Athletic Club: Aitor Paredes

Well, that had been coming. Berenguer free kick knocked back at the far post by Unai Gomez and Aitor Paredes nods in the equaliser from six yards.

83'

De Marcos booked for pulling back Shomurodov on the counter.

81'

Dovbyk and Kone’ off, Shomurodov and Paredes on for Roma.

80'

Vivian off, Unai Nunez on.

 

79'

Vivian is still down after that collision, but again, didn’t seem to be any intent. He just got a block to the cheekbone and it’s bleeding.

77'

Thoroughly chaotic corner lands in the six-yard box, mad scramble to get it clear, which leaves Vivian down after colliding with Abdulhamid. Another Athletic player is down too, but didn’t seem to be much in it.

77'

Series of Athletic Club corners, Roma clinging to their lead.

76'

Inaki Williams manages to turn on the edge of the area, but fires over the bar when leaning.

75'

Roma are rather hanging on now, they look tired and are under constant pressure.

71'

That’s not good. Zeki Celik suddenly went down clutching his leg.

He limps off and is replaced by Saud Abdulhamid, the first Saudi player at an Italian club.

69'

Berenguer and De Marcos on for Athletic, Gomez and Gorosabel off.

68'

Nico Williams corner cleared by Angelino, but Athletic are pushing now as they try to get an equaliser and win another corner off Hermoso.

67'
Oh Dovbyk

He’s fortunate that he was offside, because that was a horrible miss in front of an open goal! Was sent clear by Soule’.

64'

Baldanzi off, Pisilli on for Roma.

63'

Baldanzi booked for manhandling Gorosabel on the counter.

61'

Nico Williams immediate impact with a low ball from the left for Guruzeta, who goes down rather dramatically, but he didn’t have the ball and there didn’t seem to be much contact from Cristante either.
