Roma are in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. After the 3-0 first leg, the Giallorossi won 2-1 at Shakhtar and they took off the pass for the next round of the competition. An important milestone for Paulo Fonseca’s team, who surprisingly lost in the last round of the championship against Parma. A brace from Borja Mayoral was decisive, with his seventh goal in 10 European matches.
After a very balanced first half and with no particular scoring opportunities for both teams, Roma changed gears in the second half and found the advantage with Borja Mayoral, who unlocked the match after a rebound in the box with a close-range header. Shortly after, Pedro devoured the doubling and the hosts equalized: on the developments of a free kick Tete finds the head of Alan Patrick, who serves on the bank Moraes who just has to push the ball into the net. After the 1-1 goal, Shakhtar accelerated and tried to double several times, without being able to find it. Instead, that of the Giallorossi arrived, with Borja Mayoral who scored his personal double on an assist from Carles Perez, protagonist of a beautiful personal action. With two goals tonight, Mayoral overcomes the absent Mkhitaryan and Veretout becoming the main scorer of the season of Fonseca’s team. Roma won 5-1 overall and moved on to the quarter-finals. Great expectations for the draw on Friday, scheduled in Nyon from 13.00.
