Bilbao was able to find the back of the net 30 seconds before the end of the first half. Nicole Williams shot was deflected into the back of the net with the help of Roma defender who wanted to stop the shot. Despite all the effort of Julen Agirrezabala stopping most all the balls going into the goal post. It's obvious that Bilbao will win this match and qualify to the next stage. The first half ended 1-0.
Now even Bilbao is ahead by three goals to make their aggregate with Roma 4-2 and with the remaining time being quite thin at this time it will certainly be quite difficult for Roma to make the score equal. In addition, with the incomplete troops on Roma's side, it is clear that Roma must accept this bitter reality in the Europa League this season because Bilbao has taken advantage of that gap to be able to win in the second leg and also ensure themselves to be able to advance to the next round in the Europa League.
Very disappointing for Roma and Claudio Ranieri. In this match Ranieri's team did not deserve such a result and before this match Roma had a great series without defeats and experienced Hummels let Roma down with his unnecessary penalty. Unfortunately the suspension of Roma's main defender on 12 minutes left almost no chance for Roma against Atletico Bilbao playing at home.
Although Roma managed to score one goal, but unfortunately on the aggregate of the two meetings lost to Atletico Bilbao 3:4.
