AS Roma 1-0 Bayer 04 Leverkusen: Edoardo Bove strikes to give Jose Mourinho’s side slender advantage ahead of second leg
AS Roma’s young midfielder Edoardo Bove was the matchwinner for his boyhood club as Jose Mourinho’s side defeated Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico to take a slender advantage into the second leg of their Europa League semi-final. There was added spice going into the game, as Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso took his place in the dugout alongside his former manager Mourinho, who he played under for three seasons at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013.
