94'

Better! Pisilli wins it back in midfield, then the Ferguson shot is deflected for a corner.

93'

Fortunately for Roma, the Diop through ball rolls straight out of play. Now for Svilar to waste a bit of time.

93'

Gasperini is fuming like a caged lion after a Roma counter falls apart.

92'

Gasperini gets booked for dissent, because the referee has booked everyone else representing Roma, he may as well.

90'

Into 4 minutes of added time.

88'

Mario Hermoso does go into the box this time for a shove on Cho.

86'

Bit of a grumble from the crowd when Cho went down, but it was a bit of a dive under pressure from Hermoso.

Tsimikas cross from the left for Roma, into the arms of the goalkeeper.

84'

Clauss cross from the right, but Svilar reads it well to intercept.

82'

Mario Hermoso on, Rensch off for Roma.

80'

Bard and Boga off for Nice, Cho and Ali Abdi on.

Nice 1-2 Roma: Terem Moffi penalty

Penalty taken with a hop, skip and a jump to beat Svilar.

75'
Penalty for Nice

Pisilli and Mendy both sprint down the Nice right flank, go down at the by-line in a tangle, Pisilli had his arms around him and the referee after a pause decides on a penalty. He took a while over that. It started outside, but the foul was inside.

69'

Pisilli, Cristante and Ferguson on for Roma.

Soule’, Manu Kone’ and Dovbyk off.

68'

Does that count as a shot on target from Moffi? Perhaps. Was weak and easy for Svilar regardless.

67'

Clauss corner is cleared, Nice are trying to respond now.

64'

Soule’ dribbles down the right and cuts inside, but the shot is straight at the goalkeeper.

63'

Kevin Carlos, Boudaoui and Sanson off for Nice, Diop, Clauss and Moffi on.

Clauss and Moffi were the ones left out for turning up late to a team meeting.

59'

And they’re not going to with crosses like that, floated straight out of play.

58'

Nice have still not had a shot on target.
