Overview
- Håkon Arnar Haraldsson scored in the sixth minute to give Lille an early lead at the Stadio Olimpico.
- After Aïssa Mandi's handball, Artem Dovbyk had two penalties saved and retaken—first for Romain Perraud encroaching, then for Berke Özer stepping off his line—before Matías Soulé's third attempt was also saved.
- VAR confirmed the infringements and referee Erik Lambrechts ordered both retakes as Lille held firm late on.
- Roma dominated territory and chances but lacked a finish, with key forwards Paulo Dybala and Leon Bailey unavailable.
- Özer called the triple save "like being in a dream," and Gian Piero Gasperini said he had never seen three penalties missed in the same situation as Lille made it two wins from two in the league phase.
