The meeting was held in Budapest at the Ferenc Puskas stadium. Regular time ended with the score 1:1. In the 35th minute of the match, Roma forward Paulo Dybala hit the goal with a shot into the bottom corner. In the 55th minute, after a cross from the right flank, Roman defender Gianluca Mancini cut the ball into his own net.
In the penalty shootout, the Sevilla players were more accurate – 4: 1. The decisive penalty was taken by defender Gonzalo Montiel. Goalkeeper Rui Patricio saved the defender’s shot, but after watching VAR, it was decided that the Argentine should interrupt. On the second attempt, the player converted the decisive penalty.
