The report of Fenerbahce-Roma
The hosts started better, managing to threaten themselves several times in the first quarter of an hour but without finding a way to score. As the minutes passed, however, Roma grew, and after a couple of offensive outings they broke the deadlock: in the 39th minute it was Cristante who put the Giallorossi ahead. At the start of the second half Fenerbahce equalised, with Brown able to beat Svilar in the 48th. The home team regained courage and came close to turning the game around a couple of times, but Roma also became dangerous: however, the result never changed again, and the match ended 1-1.
