BREAKING: Jose Mourinho has lost a European final for the first time in his career after Sevilla overcame Roma on penalties to lift the Europa League trophy.
Still Sevilla penned their dogged opponents back, and still they persisted with their crosses into the box. In the 55th minute, they finally found a breakthrough; Jesus Navas darted down the flank and whipped in yet another cross, but for once Roma’s defence could not clear their lines and Mancini nodded the ball past his own keeper – the first goal Mourinho has conceded in a European final since 2003.
Dybala, an injury doubt before the match, was withdrawn in the 68th minute which left Abraham even more isolated before he too was subbed off. Sevilla continued to dictate proceedings, bombarding the box with crosses, and thought they had won a penalty when Lucas Ocampos was brought down after a stumbling run into the box, but a visit to the VAR monitor revealed Ibanez had got a tiny touch on the ball.
Sevilla applied plenty of pressure in the closing stages, peppering Patricio’s goal with three quick-fire shots in the sixth minute of added time, but Roma survived and the match went to extra time. The Giallorossi briefly showed a little more intent when the game restarted, though it soon settled into the previous pattern of laborious attack versus dogged defence.
