Roma Lose 3-2 to Manchester United After Leading 2-0

Roma went ahead in the 11th minute of the Champions League match through Matías Soulé. Left unmarked after a clever pass from behind by Rodrigo Mora, Soulé went past Sam Lammens and opened the scoring. Soulé's shot then struck Heaven's arm, and the referee awarded a penalty. Donyell Malen sent Lammens the wrong way to score, and the score became 2-0.

Roma had squad problems. Pierluigi Gollini could not play because of back pain before the match, and Mile Svilar, Paulo Dybala, Manu Koné and Lorenzo Pellegrini were also injured. As a result, third-choice goalkeeper Devis Vasquez played in his first match for the club.

At the start of the second half, Carlos Baleba suffered a serious injury while accelerating down the right wing and collapsed to the ground in tears. In a situation where Mateus Cunha tripped over his own foot and fell, the referee awarded a penalty. Vasquez saved Bruno Fernandes' first attempt, but VAR ruled that there had been an infringement in the penalty area and ordered the kick to be retaken. Fernandes scored with his second attempt.

Manchester United also had a chance to equalise when Mbeumo's shot came back off the posts and rolled along the goal line. In the end, Roma once again failed to hold their two-goal advantage in Europe and lost 3-2.
