00:00came back into it and Leverkusen lost their way a little bit but then towards
00:03halftime gained their regained their composure they've had that injury
00:08obviously where backers had to come on for Kosunu but other than that I think
00:12he'd be very pleased with the way his team in this hostile environment here in
00:16the Olimpico I think he's got to be happy with his team so far
00:21competitive Basque of course who came through Real Sociedad five excellent
00:27years at Liverpool another five still more excellent years at Real Madrid and
00:32then Bayern Munich he has an exceptional CV six goals in 128 European Club
00:40Games one of which of course was the 3-3 equalizer in Istanbul that famous night
00:45for Liverpool against Milan yeah missed a penalty but flew got on the end of it
00:50off the keeper and yeah brilliant night for Liverpool supporters and Xabi Alonso
00:55but what a player I love to watch him play and hopefully we're gonna like
00:59watching his teams in the future
01:03Oliver began his European season with the Super Cup final this year he was in charge of Real Madrid
01:08against Eintracht Frankfurt in Helsinki he was the winners of this competition
01:13will be a part of next season's Super Cup in August
01:21Abraham partnered tonight with Andrea Belotti for Roma who's best chance as it
01:28turned out Alonso was sent to half in Banez denied by the save of the evening so far
01:34Lucas Hrodetsky making his 50th European appearance
01:40Finnish international goalkeeper a scorer in last year's Europa Conference
01:47League semi-final at the expense of Leicester City
02:00so we are precisely where we started
02:05even the first half of the first leg before the ball was kicked
02:10supposition was that over three hours of football this might be decided on a
02:15moment or at least very few moments and
02:20foolish man who said with any sort of conviction when or where that moment
02:26might come would you expect more offensively of Roma as the home team in
02:31the second half here I think it'd be much this what we had in the first half
02:38it's back up Patricia spilt it it was glad to regather just spinning off the
02:46dove deflection I think back again forward but I think it'd be much the
02:50same maybe Cousin trying to get forward and hitting on the counter Roma trying
02:55to do the same as well but I just think that like Jose does most weeks it'd be
03:00Dybala maybe else or Ari off the bench that maybe livens things up towards the
03:04end of this game
03:07Oh
03:29Toby to hurry with the throat
03:37Oh
03:45well outnumbered
03:50for a goal kick
03:56seeking back-to-back European prizes just as he managed in the first half a
04:02couple of decades ago with a wafer cup followed by a Champions League Porto
04:08since when
04:12Europa League with Manchester United
04:22he certainly knows how to win trophies Jose
04:28since 2010 it's been a long time since he's been able to challenge for the
04:32Champions League and he'd love to do that again maybe just maybe that's why
04:36he's being linked with Paris Saint-Germain because they want that
04:38trophy as well it's all up
04:44away from tap so but I'd set for Abraham I'd set for chillic
04:52squeezed it right across the face
04:56he went for power and dragged it wide but the layoff spinets owner does well
05:01here but the little layoff there to Tammy Abrahams behind him he has to lay
05:06it then up off to Chenick who cuts across the ball well wide that little
05:10layoff just got to be in his path
05:15okay
05:23release it away from the lot
05:26take it back
05:30that's been interesting one it was there any contact because I think the RV just
05:34read what matches was wanting to do around the corner just a little hand in
05:41the face I don't think there's much in that but you feel the you're gonna lose
05:44possession go down and hit the floor hold your head and you get a free kick
05:47these days
05:52Oh
05:56it's all up
06:02Abraham
06:05over Andre was close by
06:15Englishman's book if you play from Tammy Abraham no
06:19positive play get on the ball and then take the nearest man on and that's what
06:24he does and trick stuck through his legs he just blocks him off because he knows
06:29he's not gonna catch him and this is a really good position this now for the
06:33Roma
06:35it's outside the box are they going to go direct for goal
06:41somebody else up and Jimmy Wynaldum warming up as well
06:49Oh
06:55to my liver Kusum ball Pellegrini behind the ball
07:00such at the back of the queue there and Cheney at the front
07:11in by Pellegrini what an important touch that was to lift it beyond the ball from
07:17absolutely right it's a lovely ball played in Pellegrini correct delivery
07:23and so we're just watches it all the way just helps it on its way above everyone
07:28else and out for the corner
07:32really good defensive head up
07:40and from this angle just watch it under it just help it on its way
07:44Banez is getting in front of tar there as well it's such an important header
07:57this implication like that perhaps that
08:08the referees I or the VARs I
08:13I would say having done Roman many many times this season when we cover Serie A
08:17this is what they do they try and get the referees looking at things the VAR
08:22looking at everything they do impose that and I think that all comes from
08:25Jose Mourinho he's done that all his career with his teams
08:30pushing and shoving Mancini it's a bit of a hothead himself
08:42Oh
08:55really scored up
09:02expectation by Balotti it's a good defensive header from Prim Pong there at
09:06the near post a bit of height on it not enough distance and Balotti has the shot
09:11but not going to score like that
09:16Prim Pong going longish
09:19that's what they are
09:21Hendrik Bakker
09:26Goertz Bakker
09:29Prim Pong
09:36Hendrik Palacios
09:38I'm not going to pick on him again Palacios
09:43that's just woeful
09:45I don't know what he was thinking there
09:49World Cup
09:51same can be said of Paulo Dybala
09:55Palacios came off the bench three times during the World Cup campaign in Qatar
10:02fair chunk of the semi-final against Croatia
10:08you know I think on that occasion on those occasion it was get the ball and
10:12give it to Messi for Palacios he hasn't got Messi out there with him tonight
10:16unfortunately for him
10:25Atuch
10:30Sportzola
10:32Atuch
10:36Atuch
10:43Bove
10:55he's got to keep a lid on this Michael Oliver because even Balotti thrown
11:00himself on the ground now the crowd are getting up for it as well let's watch
11:07the challenge yeah definitely gets the ball there falls over no foul there
11:22back by Bove Abraham from wide
11:27towards Balotti came back here for Spirit Sola
11:39comes Tapsoba
11:42Diaby
11:45just got to keep the ball for a little bit now Leverkusen Roma have really come
11:49out on it this second half pushing them back they're just going to get a bit
11:52composure back
11:57Atuch
12:03just looking at the bench there just wonder if Karim Demirbay is fit enough
12:08to come on to this game is very talented player likes to get on the ball and make
12:12things happen but they need someone with a bit of composure to get on the ball in
12:16the middle of the park for them at the moment Leverkusen and slow the game
12:19down
12:22worth adding to that that if you weren't aware Leverkusen are missing two of their
12:28top attacking stars one of them Patrick Schick of course a former Roma centre
12:32forward who would have been a major part of the dynamic of this whole time if he
12:37were fit but Karim Bellarabi was injured in training yesterday otherwise he might
12:43very well have been in the starting eleven actually certainly an option for
12:47the bench yeah I think you're absolutely right I think he would have probably
12:50started this game
12:55Palacios
13:08Diaby
13:12Palacios, Wirtz, Andrik, Bakker, referee stops it
13:19He is writhing
13:24Mancini's trying to push him get involved and target this is what
13:28we don't want to see and I think if you're if you're a Roma supporter
13:32sometimes you must get embarrassed at some of these tactics at times there's no
13:36need for that and Michael Oliver's got to keep a lid on this he's given the
13:41yellow card to Diaby he's not that sort of player but let's have a look
13:49so he blocks him off he kicks out he could have got himself sent off for that
13:52launch blocks him off there pushes him around the neck and then he reacts and
13:58kicks out
14:01got to keep your composure
14:12two yellow cards for Bayer Leverkusen in pretty short order and now one for
14:15Mancini
14:18saying too much overly involved
14:33I think Jonathan Tah got a yellow card as well by the looks of it
14:39it's become a eyes in the back of the head job for Michael Oliver you're
14:52absolutely right Nigel very good spot for you
15:00I think the problem with this is if you play in these European competitions
15:03which I've been lucky enough to play and you've got to keep your composure
15:06teams try and wind you up you know pinching you stand on your toes
15:10blocking off you've got to keep your composure but unfortunately for me Roma
15:14do this an awful lot and try and rile the opposition and then going into that
15:19second leg on yellow cards a lot of these players get a second yellow
15:24you miss the final you know it's such a shame sometimes
15:29it's been a tough little sequence for Michael Oliver
15:36so he himself is experienced in this sort of thing now
15:45warm-up this for Brentford West Ham on Sunday
15:49I
15:55Palacios
16:08cap you want to progress
16:13away by a bad yes and Rick Gabby Fripple
16:23Gabby
16:28Tom
16:32yeah
16:35yeah
16:41grab the action went by Leverkusen have the ball
16:59Palacios mostly words
17:05back up
17:11I'll check
17:14Palacios
17:22GRB
17:27Tom
17:30okay
17:35Vince
17:41by him cap you who is being summoned by Michael Oliver for a stirred word
17:48Elsher are we another option for Roma him into but I don't think that's a foul
17:52at all but lots he just froze himself up in the air gets the free kick I don't
17:55want to be anti-roamer I'm not I just don't like sometimes all the tactics
17:59that go with it they've got some wonderful players I don't think
18:02sometimes they need to play this way
18:16so back to touch spot really well do you have me I'll check inside of him
18:25it's
18:41you sort of get the impression that both sides are almost happy to settle for
18:46this both coaches prepared to play it as a one-off time next week
18:50yeah I think Jozo with the injuries days he's gone I think he'd be happy with
18:54the way things are going but I just think that it times the about I would be
18:59off the bench and so well sure is Bobby and Abraham beat it up by her
19:09Bobby
19:15I think it'd be even happier now we were talking about it but that's a really
19:19good finish from Boba because it comes at him very quickly Peter it's a good
19:24strike from Tammy Abraham really good save again from Radecki but it comes
19:30out to Boba and that's a really smart finish from the youngster just get it on
19:35target and he kept it down found the corner that's just what Roma needed
19:40hopefully this game has settled down a little bit now Eduardo Boba 20 years
19:47old starting in Europe for the first time this season and scoring his first
19:53European goal a moment of sharp opportunism he did really well here's a
19:59good header back from Tammy Abraham that's a good touch and shot it's a
20:04really good save and it comes out and that's a really smart controlled finish
20:09from Boba on his left foot just passes it into the back of the net doesn't put
20:14the laces through it's the instep keeps it down really smart finish from Boba
20:21that's just what this game needed really a goal and hopefully things are settled
20:24down and we can talk about the football
20:32see the exhilaration and the potential value
20:45possibly the moment in the so far short career of a young man born and brought
20:56up in Rome of this city and of this club just scored them big big goal
21:05one of three against Udinese three or four weeks back in Serie A
21:10it's just his second goal of the season and his first ever continental goal
21:23nothing more Jose doesn't think it was but it was
21:41three bits face-to-face if he chooses with Abraham or indeed let it run
21:48there's so much going off the ball here the referee and the assistants and the
21:52fourth official got to keep an eye on this there's pushing there's shoving
21:56there's blocking off and they've got to keep their heads to the Leverkusen
22:02players they don't want to get involved and get somebody sent off
22:07that's actually one headed fair and square but there are an awful lot of sub
22:15plots developing here
22:18Hendricks feeling the pain Vietz to take the corner
22:26lifted in by Vietz
22:31can't be attacking the ball and gets under it can't get the direction
22:40just one European goal by Leverkusen at Celtic
22:45two and a half years ago
23:01Pellegrini has it
23:06Balotti pulling wide face-to-face with Incapie
23:12Andrea Balotti beaten out by Radetzky
23:15hoisted high this time by again the predatory youngster Bove
23:20good agility there to try and get up and over the ball but this is good from Balotti
23:24shifts it onto his right foot hard and low good save again
23:28he's under pressure this time Bove can't get over the ball
23:32puts it wide high and wide but he's got the important goal
23:46maybe there is imminent change now from Jose Mourinho who's plotting something there
23:53he's a mind that doesn't rest
23:59Bove in the back of Palacios
24:07equaliser at the London Stadium in the Europa Conference League semi-final
24:12from the penalty spot Saeed Benrahma midway through the second half
24:15West Ham 1 RZ Alkmaar 1
24:24Vietz with the free kick
24:27by Mancini
24:29up to safety by Abraham
24:32Vietz
24:36with a bit of a miscue in by Tapsoba
24:41this should gather
24:43Vietz
24:49Alonso is just making sure that the 4th official there Craig Coulson is keeping track of the time
25:04Pellegrini
25:05misdirected ball for Balotti
25:08a little ball to eyeball with Tarr
25:14Vietz
25:16Alonso
25:18Vietz
25:20Alonso
25:27Vietz
25:39Vietz
25:40Alonso
25:43with a 2 goal lead to Germany next week
25:46certainly has the players on the bench El Sorari and
25:49Dybala who can come on and infect this game, score goals
25:56Mandric
25:59Kapie
26:06Palacios
26:07Mandric
26:08Tapsoba
26:12Tapsoba
26:17from Manon to Pellegrini
26:26Spinazzola
26:27Tapsoba was beneath it, Abraham can gather it
26:30and keep it from Palacios
26:34Abraham keeps wandering
26:36and spins up off Tarr conveniently for Radetzky
26:40Palacios gives it away again, he looks really tired in the middle of the park there
26:45good block from Jonathan Tarr from that shot from Tammy Abraham
26:48he's looking a bit tired now, Tammy Abraham, him and Balotti have worked so hard up top
26:59being halted by Mancini
27:02as we head into the final 20 minutes of the 90 here
27:06this could be an offensive change for Bayern Mönchengladbach
27:15as being prepared by Xabi Alonso
27:19scored a super goal in defeat against Barcelona on Friday night
27:36chance for the keeper
27:55Sada Azmour has also appeared on the touchdown
28:02hasn't had nowhere to go
28:06so here are those changes
28:14let's move on in place of uh
28:17Moshe
28:21this is a forward berth
28:26Iranian
28:31and uh Ali Adly
28:36is a direct replacement for
28:42I'm not surprised he's taken DRB off I think he's been targeted by
28:46some of the Roma players trying to wind him up to get a second yellow
29:06back
29:31Adly's first involvement in shin to shin with Ibanez
29:36It's good to see.
29:41We're going to see Dybala and we're going to see Wijnaldum.
29:47Receiving some emergency tutoring.
29:57This Saturday from Ellen Road live on BT Sport 1.
30:0111.30 lunchtime leads against Newcastle.
30:05Plenty on that.
30:06Saturday afternoon from 3, Chesterfield against Knox County for the last place in next season's football league.
30:13And also on BT Sport 1.
30:15Tomorrow night, Friday night, Serie A game is Lazio against Lecce from 7.45 on 2.
30:21And Sunday tea time, if you want another dose of Roma, they go to Bologna, also on BT Sport 2.
31:06FANS SHOUT OUT
31:09WHISTLE BLOWS
31:39Since Friday, February 3rd.
31:41Frimpong.
31:49Pellegrini.
31:50Matic.
31:51Bove the scorer.
31:54Spinazzola.
31:57Those two high profile Roma changes upcoming.
32:02Belotti.
32:04Bove.
32:05Abraham.
32:10Tumbledon was outnumbered.
32:14Left a foot out.
32:18I think he's going to get a yellow card for that one, Peter.
32:20Tammy Abraham.
32:27So he does.
32:32Income changes.
32:34FANS ROAR
32:36Memorable night for young Edoardo Bove.
32:39Hats off to him.
32:41Right man, right place, right time. Opportunist.
32:44And a goal that could count for a great deal.
32:47Junior Wijnaldum is his replacement.
32:51He's, like you were saying, had an injury punctuated season.
33:04No joy for Andrea Belotti on the scoring front tonight.
33:08And there is a lot of love for the return of Paulo Dybala.
33:19So how does that change things?
33:21Well, direct changes, but instead of playing two up top,
33:25Dybala were just playing that space in behind with Pellegrini playing off Abraham.
33:29So not much of a change, but some real quality coming on the part of Wijnaldum and Dybala, that's for sure.
33:40Dybala's right into it.
33:42And so is Wijnaldum.
33:45Keeping it from Hinkapier.
33:49Bounced off it by his compatriot, Bakker.
33:57Hadley.
33:59Bakker.
34:10I think when you bring someone like Dybala on, he always wants the ball.
34:14And with tiring legs out there, he'll find the space.
34:16You've just got to give it to his feet these days. He's not going to run in behind.
34:20I was going to say, Mourinho unhappy with that challenge on Pellegrini by Palacios.
34:28Yeah, he's a bit late there. Palacios, I think, fortunate to get away without a yellow card for that one.
34:34In East London, West Ham have come from behind.
34:37They trailed Arsene Alkmaar in the first half.
34:39Mikael Antonio now means, his goal means that they now lead.
34:43The team fourth in the Dutch Eredivisie by two goals to one.
34:47With an hour or so of that first leg still to play.
34:56Hadley.
34:58Hendrik.
35:05Hinkapier.
35:06Simpong.
35:11Hinkapier.
35:13Simpong.
35:25Yeah, there's the goal scorer in the background there.
35:27What a brilliant goal it was from Bove.
35:30Cool, kept it down, hit the target, got his reward.
35:33Is that going to be the only goal we get though?
35:36It's very tight this game.
35:40Tammy not happy with that challenge from behind.
35:46Sober.
35:54They've been so good on the European travels, especially this side of Christmas.
35:59Hanna-Levakusen.
36:01Winning in Monaco, winning in Budapest against Ferencváros.
36:04Winning in Brussels against Union Saint-Germain.
36:08But training here.
36:12Simpong.
36:15Macias.
36:17Yeah, but this is a step up in class.
36:19It's a step up in hostility as well.
36:23The way that Roma play, the crowd as well.
36:26It's all a learning curve for some of these young Leverkusen players.
36:29And for the manager as well, of course, who's only 41.
36:34But Jose's been there, seen it, done it, and a lot of these players have as well.
36:37And they want to win this competition.
36:44Magnus.
36:57Oh, my God.
37:00Oh, my God.
37:05Dampa has moved.
37:08Shifted on by Weerts.
37:10Simpong's after it.
37:15Simpong's pullback.
37:16And Adly dashing it at the near post and doing enough to force a corner.
37:22Yeah, this is the outball at the moment.
37:25Simpong down this right-hand side.
37:28Begging Spinazzola back towards his own goal.
37:32Understand he doesn't agree that's a corner.
37:34But it is.
37:37They are inside the last 10 minutes here.
37:43Only Weerts to take.
37:44Sober up from centre-half.
37:47Tarr in the mix as well.
37:55Weerts with loft.
37:57Too much loft for Tarr.
38:00Bacca.
38:04Hoisted back in.
38:05But not the first man who was Abraham.
38:07Abraham slips.
38:08Little comeback here from Palacios.
38:14Adly.
38:16Weerts.
38:19Moves down by Azmoun.
38:20Down by Azmoun.
38:23Moved by Celic.
38:24Celic.
38:49Simpong.
38:52Weerts.
38:54Simpong once more.
38:57Did enough to interfere.
39:04Goalkeeper actually setting a new statistical record tonight.
39:06It's his 66th appearance.
39:10In the Europa League group stage to final.
39:14In the modern competition.
39:16His 67th takes him past.
39:18Alexander Dragovic of Red Star Belgrade.
39:20He's appeared more in this competition.
39:22Than any other player.
39:24In its modern incarnation.
39:32He's had a good game tonight.
39:33Matic.
39:34I think he's bust that middle of that park.
39:36He's taken the pressure off his team.
39:38And held the ball when he needed to.
39:39And now he gets on it.
39:40Try and find Dybala.
39:42See this game through.
39:43But can they get a second goal?
39:45Roma.
39:46That's what they really want.
39:52Adli.
40:20Soba.
40:22Kapie.
40:32Back up.
40:41Good play from Wijnaldum.
40:43Gets blocked off.
40:44Doesn't make a fuss.
40:45But he gets the free kick.
40:46Back up.
40:48I think he'd be pleased overall.
40:49Jose Mourinho.
40:50Take a lead.
40:51Keep a clean sheet.
40:53That's what he loves.
40:54Clean sheets.
40:55But overall.
40:56It's going to be a really exciting second leg.
40:58If it stays like this.
40:59It does tear it up.
41:00Doesn't it?
41:02It begs the fairly obvious question.
41:04Over.
41:05Who you would consider to be in charge.
41:07If it does finish 1-0.
41:08Roma.
41:09You could make an argument.
41:10Either way.
41:11Yeah.
41:12You could.
41:13But with Jose Mourinho.
41:14He's been there.
41:15Seen it.
41:16Done it.
41:17Tactically.
41:18He normally gets it right.
41:19Xabi Alonso is going to have to.
41:21Get his players up.
41:22And he's going to have to.
41:23Find the tactics.
41:24To overturn this.
41:25Really stubborn.
41:26And.
41:27Experienced.
41:28Roma team.
41:29In the second leg.
41:35Matic.
41:38Dybala.
41:41No answers from Hinkapier.
41:50Started the game.
41:51Since being stopped.
41:52Very early on.
41:53With injury.
41:54In Rotterdam.
41:55On the 13th of April.
41:57Dybala.
42:09Yeah.
42:10I think when they're.
42:11Both fit.
42:12Wijnaldum.
42:13And Dybala.
42:14They're both fit.
42:15They would start in this.
42:16Roma team for sure.
42:17Matic.
42:18Pellegrini.
42:19Dybala.
42:22Sober.
42:48Thank you.
43:09Another way game they go.
43:13To Stuttgart on Sunday.
43:14Stuttgart 16th in the Bundesliga.
43:16of Bundesliga and leading points.
43:24Yeah, but he can't play a weakened team,
43:26because they need the points to try and force themselves
43:28into those European places.
43:30Up in sixth at the moment, Leverkusen.
43:34Bits.
43:37Marie Patricio couldn't take it.
43:39Frimpong has!
43:41And it was blocked on the line.
43:43And now the whistle goes.
43:45There was a hint of handball,
43:47but Michael Oliver is making clear
43:49that the hands were well tucked in.
43:51Yeah, but just a warning.
43:54There's communication, and the goalkeeper
43:56and defender get in each other's way,
43:58and Cristante gets back on the line, basically.
44:01They're claiming handball, Leverkusen.
44:04But Ibanez and Patricio,
44:07lack of communication there,
44:09and Frimpong's on it like a flash.
44:13I think it's Cristante gets back,
44:15but they're claiming handball, but I don't think it is.
44:18Yeah, it's off his chest.
44:20Good defending, Cristante.
44:25Frimpong, who in the last round
44:27at Union Sancho was scored
44:29from similar sort of range
44:31as a result of a goalkeeping error.
44:36Patricio got away with that one.
44:44It's just...
44:46Kepye.
44:49Well-enforced.
44:50Ahead of him, wide of him.
44:53Hadley.
44:54Now back up.
44:55Mbappé.
44:57Hadley.
44:59Hadley's cross.
45:01Mbappé.
45:03Mbappé.
45:05Mbappé.
45:07Mbappé.
45:09Mbappé.
45:11Mbappé.
45:14Hasmoun.
45:16And then Andrik caught his foot in the turf,
45:18and Roma can counter.
45:38Hadley.
45:41That's a bad tackle, that is.
45:43Hasmoun has certainly felt it,
45:45and Michael Oliver has witnessed it.
45:47And dipped very quickly into his pocket.
45:50Yeah, Ibanez meeting pace with pace.
45:54A little gib comes through.
45:56It's lucky he just catches him on the back
45:58rather than on the top there, Ibanez.
46:01It's a free kick, no more.
46:02Yellow card.
46:07Into the 90th minute.
46:09Mbappé.
46:12All the way by Celic.
46:14Broken down by Tibala.
46:16Back by Viertz.
46:18Back up.
46:21Alassios from quarterback.
46:40And from the VIPs to the cheap seats,
46:44nobody, truthfully, is really sure.
46:47He's delicately balanced now.
46:55It's just going to be interesting to see
46:56how long Michael Oliver adds on here.
47:00A few substitutions, a few injuries.
47:05Full.
47:06Full.
47:36A few substitutions.
47:48It's a vintage here for Italy and Europe.
47:50In by Bakker.
47:52Out by Cristante.
47:53Taken by Viertz.
47:57A bit off the ball, but he can shoot.
48:00Italy guaranteeing, of course, a Champions League finalist.
48:06If Juventus could prevail, they'd be guaranteed a Europa League winner.
48:11There's still a substantial if.
48:14If Fiorentina are in the Conference League too.
48:17There's Asmoen.
48:22There's some very tired legs out there, especially for Roma.
48:25They've worked really hard closing the game down.
48:30We get it over the line now.
48:32Adli.
48:33Adli.
48:35Adli's hit!
48:40Yeah, but why not? From the youngster.
48:42Get to your feet, turn on it.
48:44Try and bend it on target.
48:46Adli.
48:50It's a late Leverkusen change.
48:53Adrik gives way for the second-stunned Romain.
48:57Seemingly having pulled up here.
48:58Lame.
49:00So that Nadiem Amiri is required.
49:14Not moving well at all.
49:16Now I wonder if that goes back to where he had that shot where he kicked the floor.
49:20Or kicked his own player, whichever way it was.
49:23That's what's the problem there with Andrik.
49:28Amiri.
49:33Kicks.
49:35Amiri.
49:38Takes over.
49:39Frimpong.
49:43That was the grounder, the challenge from Matic and or Spinazzola.
49:48Spinazzola who's got the card, Frimpong's quickly on with it.
49:52Yeah, Spinazzola I think he might have hurt his groin here as well.
49:56Xabi Alonso wasn't happy with that challenge.
49:59Just kicks out.
50:01That's a really poor challenge.
50:08Seventh yellow card of the game.
50:13And we are now in the last minute of the game.
50:18Very late chance for Bayern Leverkusen to alter the dynamic of the tie.
50:23Nadiem Amiri behind the set piece.
50:28Amiri and behind by Abraham for a corner into the last half minute.
50:35Sensible from Tammy Abraham though.
50:37It's all going off again in there.
50:43That's a good defensive header from Tammy Abraham but they've got one last chance here by the looks of it.
50:47Leverkusen from this corner, keep it away from Patricio.
50:54But there's pushing, there's shoving going on in there.
50:58Sarcastic applause from Wirtz.
51:01Who gets another go.
51:06Wirtz plays it in.
51:08Out by Ibanez.
51:10Cleared by Dybala.
51:12Here's Amiri.
51:13And there is the final whistle.
51:16And truth be told, it is anyone's guess.
51:20Roma have an advantage but it is a slender advantage.
51:25One goal just after the hour from young Eduardo Bove is all that separates them after a rowdy,
51:32sometimes tetchy first leg in the Olympic Stadium.
51:35And when they go back to Leverkusen a week tonight,
51:39you wouldn't like to predict with any sort of conviction or certainty
51:43who will prevail and make their way into the Europa League final.
51:48Final score.
