Not a good start. It is Austria Wien to open the score in the 16th minute. Raphael Holzhauser defeating AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by Olarenwaju Kayode.
Party starting at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium with the Roman gladiators equalizing the score in the 19th minute. It is forward Stephan El Shaarawy to take care of business defeating Austria Wien goalkeeper Robert Almer with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Gerson.
Bim bam boom!!!! Super Totti giving the assist with a through ball to El Shaarawy to break the draw. El Shaarawy scoring with a right-footed shot in the top right corner.
“No Totti, No Party!” There you go Capitano Totti making another assist for goal!! This time Totti giving the assist to midfielder Alessandro Florenzi defeating goalkeeper Osman Hadzikic (who had substituted goalkeeper Almer in the 24th minute) with a right footed shot in the top right corner.
No way!!!!!! Austria Wien scoring in the 82nd minute. It is 19 years old Dominik Prokop to defeat Roma goalkeeper Allison with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner. What a luck! Imagine, Prokop had replaced Alexander Grünwald in the 78th minute and now making this goal. UFFAAAA
