Lots of goals, excitement, spectacle, and flags flying. It ends with Bologna celebrating in an electrifying Olimpico Stadium from the start, and pitch darkness enveloping Gasperini's Roma, who capitulate 4-3 in extra time.
Italiano's men advance to the Europa League quarterfinals, facing Aston Villa after a 120-minute battle that included extra time following a 3-3 draw after the first 90 minutes. Cambiaghi's goal in overtime decided the match. The match followed a strong first half, with the Rossoblu leading thanks to Rowe's sensational goal, then being pegged back by Ndicka's header, and then taking the lead again with a Bernardeschi penalty.
The second half was even more exciting, with Italiano's team leading by two goals thanks to Castro's goal, who took advantage of a mistake by the Roma defense and then allowed Malen (from a penalty caused by Robinio Vaz) and Pellegrini to come back.
In the second half of extra time, Cambiaghi gave Bologna the joy of qualification, finishing off a vertical move with Dallinga.
