CORNER!
Wirtz's free-kick is lofted towards the far post, but Abraham is there to head it behind for a corner.
The set-piece comes to nothing, and that you think will be that.

YELLOW CARD
Spinazzola concedes a cheap free-kick with time ticking down as he kicks out on Frimpong whilst the wing-back advances down the right.

OFFSIDE!
Big chance for Leverkusen!
There is miscommunication as Patricio and Ibanez both go for the same loose ball! Neither get to it, and Frimpong is there to pounce, but luckily for Roma, his effort is kept out.
Eventually, the flag goes up for offside anyways. Nervy moments for the home side.

GOOD EFFORT!
Belotti drives into the box down the right channel, and does well to shift it onto his right foot to give himself a yard at an acute angle. He then goes for goal towards Hradecky's near post, but the Leverkusen goalkeeper makes a good save to deny him.
Once again, the rebound drops to Bove, but the Roma midfielder lacks the composure and fires his effort way over the bar.

GOALLLLLLL!
Roma take the lead!
A long ball is played forward for Abraham, who knocks it down for Bove. The young midfielder drives forward into the box, and lays it off for the English striker.
Initially, Abraham's low strike from within the box is well saved by Hradecky, but the rebound drops back to Bove, who puts the ball in to give the Giallorossi the lead!

GREAT DEFENDING!
Spinazzola stands over the ball on the left, just outside the box. The Roma man delivers a wicked delivery into the danger area towards the back post, but before a teammate can get their head to it, Tapsoba is there to glance it clear for a corner with an important header.
