Roma defeated despite having two penalties

Italian side Roma suffered a defeat at the “Olimpico” Stadium on Thursday evening against French team Lille, despite having two chances to score from the penalty spot late in the match. 

After beating Nice in their first league-phase match in the Europa League, Roma lost 1-0. 

In-form Lille recorded their second win, following their triumph over Brann in the opening round. 

The 22-year-old forward, Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, scored the only goal of the match in the sixth minute.

Artem Dovbyk failed to score from the penalty spot in the 82nd minute, while three minutes later, Matias Soule also missed a penalty.
