FINALLY THE MEETING IN ROME!

Victory for the home team in the last second.

The VAR validates Shumorodov's goal and Roman victory is achieved.

Note that the goal is under review...

For possible offside...

GOAL FROM ROMAAAAAAAA! GOOOOOOOOOOL SHUMORODOOOOOV!

Saelemaekers' through ball, the Uzbek turns around inside the box and puts it with his left foot to the opposite post to the one Agirrezabala was ready to dive into. A blow for Athletic.

Catch Agirrezabala and this will be over!

Saelemaekers' cross from the right is forced by Soulé into the hands of Agirrezabala.

What Paredeeees has brought out!

Soulé's shot from the edge of the area was headed in by Athletic's '4'.

Athletic tries to calm him down

He plays and plays, but at a disadvantage. It won't last long.

3 minutes added time!

We go back to 93 at the Olympic Stadium.

Athletic on the ropes

The Olympic team is pushing hard, Roma is pushing hard! The Basque team is not winning anything.

What a double chance for Roma! Souléeee!

First, a providential Yuri blocking a shot from the Argentinean almost one-on-one. A spectacular one-two between Soulé and Saelemaekers, by the way. Now, another shot from Soulé himself from the edge of the box that goes wide.

Great save by Agirrezabalaaaa!

Saelemaekers' shot from the right after Athletic's bailout, with his left foot, was saved by the Basque team's goalkeeper. Great save.

OUT THE STREET YERAYYYYY! ATHLETIC IS DOWN TO 10!

Shumorodov won the game and the Uzbek was one-on-one. Yeray had no choice but to take him down, earning him a second yellow card and, therefore, being sent off.

Another mistake from Soulé...

And here comes Athletic! Here comes Berenguer!

Athletic has it...

That has so far managed to filter through to the last line in the last few minutes. Roma has not. We'll see.

Shumorodov has played red...

The Uzbek arrived very late to a move with Yeray. Clear foul... Athletic goes in.

It was Berengueeeeeeeer!

Iñaki puts it on the penalty spot after a great turn after a pass from De Marcos' throw-in, and Berenguer sends it into the clouds. Very clear, from the penalty spot as we say.

Iñaki hits a wall again

Now trying to cross from the right wing, but Manu Kone came to block.

But Souleeeee!

Five to three for Roma and the Argentine makes a mistake with the pass, which Paredes cut out perfectly.

Athletic plays

Although he fails to advance to the final third. The same thing happens with Roma.

And change in Rome

Manu Kone enters, Pisilli leaves.

Double change at Athletic

Unai Gómez and Nico leave, Berenguer and Vesga come in.

Total exchange of blows!

Ups and downs for both teams, constant. Beautiful match.

And catch Svilar!

Good cross from Iñaki, which the Serbian goalkeeper anticipates.

Saaaaca Athletic!

Another attack for Roma, which Paredes eradicates by cutting out a cross. Yeray cleared it and, fortunately, it was Athletic's turn.

Athletic came out on the counterattack...

But Pisilli makes a wonderful retreat to cut off the danger. Roma are coming.

Yellow card for Shumorodov

A strong clash with Beñat Prados was resolved by the referee with a card.

Double change in Roma

Dybala and Dovbyk leave, Shumorodov and Soulé come in.

Athletic returns to the game

Controlling the times well and winning duels again.

Ooooooo Nicooooo!

Iñaki's cross is missed by Unai Gómez, who receives it and cuts back. Çelik blocks it, and the Spaniards take a corner.

Moments of mistakes

Both teams are trying to combine but all the key passes are being cut off.

Ooooooooooo Unai Gomez!

Iñaki put it in at the far post where Athletic's '20' came in... With a header, he sent it close to Svilar's right post.

Athletic gains some power

Who manages to escape from the pressure thanks to Nico's retreat inside and outside.

Rome is less lucid

Now he is failing in his combinations, but he is still biting just as hard, which is why Athletic has to fight.

Roma was coming...

But Cristante was very rough now, snatching the ball from De Galarreta. Ball for Athletic.

Double change at Athletic

Jaureguizar and Sannadi retire, Guruzeta and Beñat Prados enter.

To the clouds Nicooooooo!

He cuts in from outside and shoots into the stands. The Olímpico whistles.

Athletic now takes the ball to the opponent's field!

Now it's the Spaniards' turn to box Roma in. We'll see.

Missing beauty for Roma!

Iñaki fouls Angeliño on the left flank and Dybala goes to take it. Here everything is equal.

Double change in Roma

Rensch and Baldanzi withdraw, Saelemaekers and El Shaarawy enter.

Up A Gomez!

Shot by Athletic's '20' from the edge of the area that goes not far from Svilar's crossbar.

Well Yeray...

But Athletic must continue to fight for the ball. The ball does not belong to anyone, only direct play.

Roma goes on and on

Bad minutes for Athletic, knocked out by the goal.

AND ANGELIÑOOOOOOO TIES! GOOOOOOOAL FOR ROMAAAAAAA!

Çelik's ball travels low through the area and reaches Angeliño, left-footed, almost at the far post to shoot at the near post. He sends it to the post and in. Great goal.

Ooo ...

Another one for Roma! Dovbyk heads it in from the edge of the box, and the young Roma player hits a volley that just goes over Agirrezabala's crossbar. Oops again.

Follow the Roma

Playing with a lot of dynamism, while Athletic bails out water.

Pisilli out...

A very bad cross from the Roma youth player that goes over the byline. What a few minutes of play. Agirrezabala will take the ball.

Watch out, Roma is coming...

Ranieri's team is now overturned.

ROME HAS HAD THE TIE!

A flurry of chances ended with Baldanzi inside the box, almost one-on-one. With all the chances of scoring, he sent it into the clouds in front of Agirrezabala with his left foot. Roma's clearest chance was next to Dybala's crossbar.

GOOOOOOL FROM ATHLETIC, GOOOOOOL FROM IÑAKIIIIII!

Yuri puts it in with music, Paredes heads it to the far post, and Iñaki Williams heads it in. A great goal to take the lead!

Ooooooooo Unai Gomez!

A powerful shot from the edge of the box was headed for goal, but N'Dicka blocked it. Athletic's goal goes out for a corner.

Çélik cuts the ball and Athletic are coming!

Good, Nico, now on the left flank. Yuri goes for the throw-in.

Sannadi's party is being...

Winning absolutely everything. What a striker.

And Athletic steals again!

Valverde's team is back in the game, now playing on their own field.

Roma already has it

Athletic raffle up front and possession returns to Ranieri's men.

THE SECOND HALF IS STARTING!

With Athletic putting the ball into play.

AND THE END OF THE FIRST HALF AT THE OLYMPIC CITY OF ROME!

A draw in a real football match.

Ooooooooo Sannadiiiiiii!

Great transition led by Unai Gómez that ends with Iñaki putting it at mid-height for Sannadi, who, from the edge of the six-yard box, sends it very close to Svilar's right post. Oops.

Baldanzi asks for a second yellow card for Jaureguizar

And the Athletic player took the risk with his stomp. Unintentional, of course.

2 minutes added time!

We're going up to 47 at the Olympic.

Get out Yeraayyyyyy!

The Athletic centre-back made a good run on the edge of the six-yard box, but he headed it too far and sent it close to Svilar's right post. Oops.

Coooorner for Athletic!

Yuri goes after Iñaki provoked him, after much struggle.

Dybalaa ...

Long ball to Dovbyk and Baldanzi in the area, the ball ends with the latter rebounding back, and from the penalty spot, Dybala stamps it against the crossbar. Very clear.

An impenetrable wall in Rome...

Ranieri's team was serious at the back... And now even more so. Athletic went all out and it all ended with a yellow card for the Basques.

Yellow card for Sannadi!

Who cut short the birth of a Roma counterattack with Baldanzi. Yet another one.

Roma regained possession...

But Baldanzi gets confused on the left flank and the ball goes out for a throw-in.

It all comes to nothing!

Mancini's foul on Unai Gómez in attack turns things around for Athletic.

Yellow card for Jaureguizar!

He stomped on Rensch, unintentional, but it was too late. Dybala went to the set piece, and far away.

Up Sannadi....

A header from the former Barakaldo player goes over Svilar's goalposts.

A beautiful foul for Athletic!

Iñaki provokes it, with a grab by Angeliño, on the right flank. It's De Galarreta.

Baldanzi is ready now!

Causing the foul of Jaureguizar with the entire Athletic practically turned out. Drought of arrivals...

Clumsy Dovbyk

With Roma on the ball, he makes a mistake and steps on Jaureguizar in the box. The ball goes to Athletic again.

Svilar Raffle...

And the ball goes to Athletic! Sannadi, by the way, was immense. Great match.

Roma is playing again now

But Athletic is better positioned and pressing consistently. There could be surprises here.

Nico out now...

A curled cross to the far post goes out along the byline.

Ooooooooo Nicooooo!

Good cross from the right by Iñaki that Unai Gómez let through, and that Nico Williams miraculously did not push into the goal. Çelik saved it. Very clear.

Athletic wins lines!

Now playing on Roma's front line. Watch out, they're coming.

Try to touch Athletic!

Looking for serenity and control in the match. Valverde's team did well after a few minutes of chaos.

Saaaaca Yeray!

Baldanzi made a good run to put a low cross into the area. Dovbyk was alone... The Spanish team took the lead.

New offside at Athletic

From Unai Gómez now, on a long ball to the young Basque player.

Mucho más entera la Roma

Ganando duelos y absolutamente todo. Sin mucho rumbo el Athletic.

FORGIVE DOVBYK THE FIRST!

Good ball from Pisilli to the Ukrainian, who beat Yeray to the ball and went one-on-one. He cut back, and with everything to score, he slipped and shot badly. Clearly not, the next thing.

Athletic's first advance in minutes

And with Nico offside, alone up top. Ball for Roma.

Agirrezabala will take it out!

Dybala's poor set-piece to the far post, with Dovbyk offside.

Yellow card for Yeray!

Entry on Rensch. Dybala stole the ball again on the right flank, got away from De Galarreta, passed it to the Dutchman, and Yeray arrived late to the cut. Clear.

Sannadi out

A solitary but perfect run, as he got away from two markers by about 20 metres... But he reached the goal line and sent it out for a goal kick.

Athletic takes the lead and the Olympic team gets angry!

Now, claiming a foul on Dybala, in a recovery by Nico. Athletic can't get out now.

Missing beauty for Roma!

Vivian knocks down Dovbyk 5 meters from the front and Dybala goes.

Roma has it...

That little by little takes control and tries to enter the wall that is now purple. Be careful.

Providential Vivian

Cristante managed to get a through ball for Dybala to break through the lines and he did so, but the Spanish centre-back arrived at the stoppage.

And he manages to get Roma out!

Jaureguizar now fouls Dybala, who tried to clear the ball from behind again. The ball goes to the home team. The set piece is well defended.

A beautiful foul for Athletic!

Good inside driving by Iñaki, who got away from Angeliño and was then brought down by Cristante. De Galarreta.

Roma fails to get out

They play from behind and then raffle off. As we said, Athletic is doing well at the moment.

The match is heating up!

First, Sannadi called for a foul on a Mancini tackle, and now, Nico narrowly missed out on taking the ball away from Svliar. He was forced to get in and it was the Serbian's turn, but not much. Booing and madness in the stands.

Touch and touch Rome

From behind, with Athletic now looking to bite. Neither team is very accurate in passing...

Rome is established

Athletic are not very fresh in their creative play. We will see how long the ball lasts for Ranieri's team.

Mancini has played the red card...

He went out to cover Sannadi and stamped on him badly. The referee spoke to him, without warning him. The former Barakaldo player is now recovering.

Ooo ...

Good steal from Dybala on Yuri on the right flank, the Argentine filters it to leave Dovbyk one-on-one, but Agirrezabala got ahead well.

Unai Gómez is leaving...

Attempted through ball ends in a goal kick for Roma.

Catch Svilar

Nico's cross finds the Serbian goalkeeper's hands. Roma touch the ball for the first time in several minutes.

Get out of Galarreta!

Athletic's '16' shot went wide from the edge of the area to end the play. He even sent it to the corner...

Cover Celik!

Great run by Nico down the left wing. When he went to cross the ball, the Turk blocked it. Throw-in.

Ready Sannadi

Cristante's foul in the centre of the field caused the ball to take control. The ball went to Athletic.

Get Vivian out!

On two occasions. Little control at the moment, only duels in the centre of the field.

THE MATCH IN ROME IS GOING ON!

The home team puts the ball into play.
