Lille Beat Roma 1-0 After Rare Triple Penalty Sequence in Europa League

VAR enforced two retakes for encroachment, then for early goalkeeper movement, sharpening concern about Roma's blunt attack under Gasperini.

Overview

  • Lille struck after six minutes through Haraldsson, capitalizing on a Tsimikas error at the Stadio Olimpico.
  • A late Roma penalty was ordered retaken twice after VAR flagged Lille encroachment and the goalkeeper leaving his line, but all three attempts were saved.
  • Dovbyk saw his first two efforts stopped before Soulé took the third, with Ozer denying each to preserve the visitors’ lead.
  • Beyond the spot-kick sequence, Roma produced few clear chances, echoing a previous 0-1 loss to Torino in which they failed to recover after falling behind.
  • Gasperini described the triple miss as something he had never experienced, with the result leaving Roma’s Europa League qualification prospects in doubt.
