It was to be the turning point in the group of Europa League for the Rome in Josè Mourinhobut the defeat also undeserved for 2-1 gained in the end of the long-awaited big match against Beti Sevilla complicates José Mourinho’s dreams of qualification not a little, who remains clinging to the run-up to second place only by virtue of the draw between HJK and Ludogorets today.
A race in reality conducted for very large stretches by the Giallorossi which bring many dangers towards the goal defended by Claudio Bravo and unlock the game in the first half with Dybala, on a penalty granted with the var (the same as Inter-Barcelona) for Guardado’s touch in the area. However, Betis is good at trying to worry Rui Patricio especially with long-range shots and, with one of these he finds the same with Rodriguez.
Roma are alive, however, and between the end of the first fraction and the beginning of the second, they push to try to get back in the lead, but collide first on the crossbar hit by Zaniolothen on the miracles of Claudio Bravo I am Dybala And Smalling. Dominating the game, unfortunately, is not enough and in the end the header on the counterattack of Luiz Henrique smells incredibly of mockery, as well as the arched parable that exceeds Rui Patricio and ends at the crossroads for the 2-1 final.
In addition to the damage for Mourinho there is also insult because if at the beginning of the problem the Portuguese coach loses due to a knee injury Literatein the final, in view of the next races, Nicolò also loses Zaniolo who reacts to a foul to the limit and, caught by the var, gets a direct red which will cost him at least the return match in Spain. The path to the knockout stage could only get more difficult.
