The Wolves triumphed after penalties at Stadio Olimpico.

AS Roma eliminated Feyenoord from the UEFA Europa League for the 2nd straight year after a shootout at the Stadio Olimpico, ending the Dutch club’s undefeated run of 11 matches.

Both teams have become familiar with each other, with this campaign being the 3rd consecutive they have played, and they provide a show in all of the clashes between them. The Dutch side scored the 1st goal in Rome after only 5 minutes as the Mexican striker Santiago Tomas Gimenez netted.

However, the Wolves needed only 10 minutes to tie the game as El Shaarawy picked out Lorenzo Pellegrini on the edge of the box, and the Italian side’s captain scored a fantastic goal to even the result in the 15th minute.

Bryan Cristante and Pellegrini had fantastic opportunities to secure Roma’s lead in the 1st half, but both players missed them.

We saw no more goals until the end of regular time, as the same thing happened in the extra 30 minutes at Stadio Olimpico, and who would advance to the next phase of the Europa League was decided after penalties.

The Wolves new number 1 goalkeeper Mile Svilar showed why De Rossi picked him to be at the new and he led his team to the victory after making 2 saves and with Roma netting 4 of their 5, the Giallorossi advanced to the 1/8 finals of the Europa League.
