Overview

• Arnar Haraldsson scored in the sixth minute at the Stadio Olimpico to put Lille ahead, a lead they protected to full time.
• A late handball by Mandi led to a chaotic sequence in which Berke Ozer saved two Artem Dovbyk penalties that were retaken for encroachment before denying Matias Soulé from the spot.
• Roma controlled long stretches and created numerous chances, including a goal-line clearance and several strong saves by Ozer, but could not find an equaliser.
• With Paulo Dybala and Leon Bailey still injured, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side started Svilar, Celik, Hermoso, N’Dicka, Wesley, Cristante, El Aynaoui, Tsimikas, Soulé, Pellegrini and Ferguson.
• Mile Svilar said Roma “could have done better” and Gasperini called the triple miss unprecedented, stressing the team will move forward in the Europa League group phase.
