Match Report
AS Roma 1 (2) - 0 (1) Leicester City
Match reaction by Brain Langston follows the second leg
So cities Europa conference cup ambitions are over for this year.
This game was not necessarily one game too far, even though we are out, this game was decided on two instances, a forth minute penalty not giving for Leicester , when VAR should have over turned an awful refereeing decision, and then the winning goal, from another set piece that Abrahams buried with a towering header and yes far too easy.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I do think Brendan missed a trick tonight and not starting with a front two and having a go from the off.
The first half was pretty even, but you have to say city in the final third again were not at the level needed, and this is not just tonight, but most of this season.
The game had , what turned out to be a ridiculous decision against them, even with VAR, when Evans was clearly pulled to the ground and nothing given.

City struggled going forward, with a strong and really well organised Roma outfit, and a typical Jose set up team.
With Maddison the only player for city, looking dangerous, it was no surprise that Lookman and Barnes were substituted for Amartay and iheanacho.
City did look better second half, and possession was greater but at times the play was far too slow,
Allowing the Roma players time to get back and organised.
City did have a few shots in the 2nd half from evañs, Maddison , JJ , buts nothing concrete and on target till iheanacho had a shot from the edge of the box which was comfortably saved by the Roma keeper.
So the cup run is over, and no short break to Tirana.
On paper, this was a difficult game and that was truer than you can imagine, when a little more experienced paid dividends for Roma.
I hope that we can now lift our heads and get ready for Everton on Sunday and put a little run together .
My MOM today was Maddison,
