Roma Triumphs Over Porto in Europa League Thriller
Wow, what a night of football! Roma and Porto just delivered an absolute Europa League classic, leaving fans on the edge of their seats until the very last second. The Stadio Olimpico was buzzing, and for good reason—this was a game filled with drama, goals, and pure passion.
Roma came into this second leg trailing 2-1 on aggregate, knowing they had to bring their best to turn things around. But things didn’t start as planned. Porto struck first in the 27th minute through Samu, putting the visitors ahead and making Roma’s task even tougher. But when the pressure is high, big players step up, and that’s exactly what Paulo Dybala did. The Argentine magician responded with a stunning equalizer in the 35th minute, then followed it up with another just four minutes later to send the Olimpico into a frenzy. Roma was back in the lead on aggregate, 3-2!

But hold on, because this game was far from over. The second half saw Porto fight tooth and nail to get back in it. Controversy struck when Porto’s Stephen Eustaquio saw red after a VAR review for a minor altercation with Leandro Paredes. With the visitors down to 10 men, Roma looked to capitalize—and they did! In the 83rd minute, Niccolò Pisilli doubled the lead, making it 3-1 on the night and giving Roma breathing room.
Porto, though, refused to go down quietly. Deep into stoppage time, a heart-stopping own goal from Devyne Rensch made it 3-2, keeping the suspense alive until the final whistle. But Roma held on! A 4-3 aggregate win sees them through to the next round, where they’ll face either Lazio or Athletic Bilbao.
An incredible night, full of drama, goals, and everything we love about football. Roma marches on in the Europa League!
