UEL | Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 Roma: A miracle too far for De Rossi

It was almost a second moments later, as the Zalewski cross was whipped in from the right and Azmoun was inches away from getting his toes to it, as Edmond Tapsoba risked an own goal to clear.

Bryan Cristante’s finish was too weak on the Zalewski pass to beat Kovar, while Adli fired through Ndicka’s legs to skim the upright.

Kovar struggled with a sudden Azmoun snapshot and needed a tough one-handed save on the Stephan El Shaarawy curler, then Leverkusen countered on the corner but Svilar rushed out to deny Hofmann.

There was another twist when Hlozek held up his hand near his face and with his fingertips pushed away a glancing Cristante corner. It was spotted by VAR and another penalty awarded to Roma, which Paredes again converted, this time sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.

Hofmann tried and failed to coax Svilar into a penalty foul, while Adli drilled just past the post, but Roma’s luck was out.

Svilar misjudged the flight of the Grimaldo corner and the ball bounced in off Mancini at the back post for an own goal.

Roma threw everything forward and ran huge risks on the counter-attack, including a Patrik Schick lob off target, but Leverkusen simply refused to lose their 49-match unbeaten record. Stanisic cut inside from the right and bent a left-foot finish into the far bottom corner.
