Braga-Lazio 1-0
6' Horta (B)
The Biancocelesti already qualified for the round of 16 did not take the right approach in Portugal. The hosts found the immediate lead with Horta at 6' on an assist from Victor Gomez, then controlled the comeback of Lazio, which was almost never dangerous. After the bad first half, the Italian team seemed more motivated and had two sharp chances in the second half with Isaksen and Dele-Bashiru, but on their way there'è Hornicek always alert.
Roma-Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0
44' Angelino (R), 69' Shomurodov (E)
Roma played the game against the Germans already sure of a place in the top 8 and created chances in series with Dovbyk and Saelemaekers, who wasted them. Svilar overcame himself on 22' on Larsson, then Mancini came close to scoring by hitting the post on 36'. The hosts’ advantage came in the final half with Angelino, scoring on Mancini’s cross.
Resumed, Roma looked for the doubling goal several times and found it in 69' with Shomurodov, triggered by Soulé. Ranieri’s team confidently controlled the double advantage and Eintracht was not going to force it. The match closes without further gasps.
