Although they’d been under severe pressure for much of the first-half of their Europa League semi-final second leg against Bayer Leverkusen, Daniele de Rossi’s Roma took the lead from the penalty spot just before half-time.
As a ball was floated into the area, Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah wrapped his arms around one of Roma’s forwards and gave the official an easy decision to make.
