Roma, night to forget in Netherlands: Feyenoord wins 1-0

Feyenoord-Roma 1-0

A night to forget in the Netherlands for Roma. The Giallorossi fell against Feyenoord in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals after failing a penalty kick in the first half and losing Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham to injury.

Dybala’s injury in the 25th minute is the first sign of a really bad game for the Giallorossi. The Joya is forced to leave the field, giving way to El Shaarawy. At the end of the first half, the guests earn a penalty kick but Pellegrini hits the post, missing the chance to put his side ahead.

In the second half, the hosts struck at the first useful opportunity: in the 54th minute, Idrissi got away from Zalewski and put in the center for Wieffer, who hit a volley and beat Rui Patricio. A few minutes later Abraham also goes down with a shoulder problem and forces Mourinho into the second forced change with the insertion of Belotti. In the 63rd minute came the second woodwork for the Capitols: on the development of a corner kick Ibanez hit a header but Idrissi and the crossbar once again saved the Dutch.

Feyenoord wins the first leg. In a week’s time at the Olimpico, Roma will have the task of overturning the result.
