Sevilla Win Europa League Title in Dramatic Penalty Shootout | #Sevilla #Roma #EuropaLeague #Football #Soccer
Sevilla won their record seventh Europa League title on Wednesday night, defeating Roma 4-1 in a dramatic penalty shootout after the match was tied 1-1 after extra time.
The Spanish side took the lead in the first half through Lucas Ocampos, but Roma equalized through Gianluca Mancini in the second half. Neither side was able to find a winning goal in extra time, so the match went to penalties.
Sevilla were perfect from the spot, with all four of their penalties being converted. Roma, on the other hand, missed two of their penalties, and Gonzalo Montiel scored the winning penalty to give Sevilla the victory.
The win is a major boost for Sevilla, who have now won the Europa League more times than any other team. It is also a major disappointment for Roma, who were hoping to win their first Europa League title since 2008.
