AS Roma win the Europa League Round 32, First Leg game defeating Braga on Thursday 18 February 2021 at the Estádio Municipal de Braga in Braga, Portugal.  This is a precious victory for the Roman gladiators grabbing full 3 points.

  • This will be the first challenge in a European competition between these two teams; Sporting Braga have lost their most recent against Italian teams (1-0 at Milan in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup group stage).   Braga will be the 7th different Portuguese team Roma face in European competition, having beaten each of the other six at least once. The last trip to a Portuguese team resulted in a defeat, however (at Porto in the round of 16 of the 2018/19 Champions League).   Braga have drawn their last two games against an Italian team in European competitions (Udinese in the Champions League preliminaries in 2012/13, won on penalties), after never having finished a match with the sign “X” and two defeats).   Braga are unbeaten in home games against Italian sides in European competitions: two wins (against Chievo and Parma, both in the UEFA Cup) and one draw (against Udinese in the Champions League preliminaries).

Good start for the Roman gladiators! It is AS Roma to open the score in the 5th minute with forward Edin Džeko defeating Braga goalkeeper Matheus with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by Leonardo Spinazzola.

Second goal of the match in the 86th minute by Borja Mayoral!
