A sunny day in Rome despite the defeat against Villarreal at the Olimpico di Stadium. Yep, it is a sunny day because AS Roma qualified to the Europa League Round of 16 thanks to the aggregate result of 4-1. Roma’s 16-game unbeaten home game crashed with the victory of Villarreal. Good thing is that we continue to have a Serie A team battling in the Europa League. Forza Roma.
Villarreal opened the score in the 15th minute. Forward Santos Borré defeating AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson with a right footed shot to the top right corner. Poor defense …..
The Roman gladiators ended the match with 10 players. Referee Felix Zwayer giving a second yellow card to Roma defender Antonio Rüdiger after a foul on Villarreal forward Jonathan dos Santos. It is the automatic red card for Rüdiger.
