Roma have captured an important advantage in the round by getting a 1-0 win over Leverkusen indeed. Bove is a 20-year-old midfielder who was the scorer of that goal in this game as well. This must have been a special moment for him and he scored his 2nd goal in the season by this one as well. This goal is going to be very valuable for Roma in the second leg.
Because it is already not easy to eliminate Leverkusen for them. They will need this score advantage in Germany but it feels like this matchup won't end in regular time anyway.
as I predicted earlier that Rome will be superior compared to Leverkusen. what we can see in yesterday's game is that Roma dominated the match and from the ball possession side Roma were superior and finally scored 1 which could bring Roma's chance to qualify for the final round.
Rome has already pocketed an aggregate score of 1 and it is not that difficult to qualify for the final round. what Rome needs to do is only have 1 score superior enough to qualify for the final round.
in the semi-finals of the European league, this is very interesting for me because Sevilla vs Juventus and Roma vs Leverkusen have a very thin score difference and several of these teams reinforce each other's performances and strategies that will be able to bring this team through to the final round.
I admit that it is very good that Juventus in this semi-final can even the score until the end of the game.
I think an aggregate advantage of 1 goal over Leverkusen has not been able to secure them in the second leg match. In the first leg, maybe AS Roma had more chances compared to Leverkusen, but they could still make it difficult for AS Roma and they could even put up a tough fight to make it difficult for AS Roma to win. AS Roma only needed a draw to get their two feet in the final, but it was not an easy task to keep their goal from conceding.
Seeing the result from the first leg is more than enough to determine the result from the second leg. Juventus could not win against sevilla even when it was playing at home but what about when juventus will be playing away? That means if juventus faces very hard situation. Sevilla has always been winning with huge scores against its opponent at home. It will be another disaster for juventus to win against sevilla away.
Juventus hasn't impressive record when playing away with winning one games against SC Freiburg on 16th round, I don't sure with Juventus has chance will lead to final stage because Sevilla has consistency performance with playing home actually success eliminated Manchester United 3-0 on quarter final. But any possibility for Juventus with 50% chance because draw on first leg still has chance although have to play in the front of Sevilla fans.
On the one hand, Juventus failed to take advantage of their home game to win in the first leg and had to perform even better in the second leg away to Sevilla. It doesn't seem like an easy thing, especially since Juventus' away record is not very good in the European League competition.
The predictions of many people regarding Sevilla really happened, before this first leg match many said that Juventus had to be careful with Sevilla, because even though they were not the main favorites they could do everything to make them win the game. This situation is the same as when they beat Manchester United. They can hold Mamnchester United to a draw in the first leg and in the second they can beat it and eliminate one of the favorites in the Europa League this season. The second leg they will play a home game, and at home Sevilla is a strong team to beat the opponent.
