Leverkusen Claims Commanding 2-0 Victory in Rome

German side Bayer Leverkusen maintained their impressive unbeaten run in all competitions, extending it to 47 matches after a well-earned 2-0 victory at Roma in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals. The triumph puts Leverkusen in a strong position to advance to the final in Dublin.

Roma Dominates Possession but Struggles to Convert

Despite Roma enjoying the majority of possession (53%) and attempting more shots (7 to Leverkusen's 12), Leverkusen proved more efficient in front of goal. The hosts managed only three shots on target, while Leverkusen hit the target four times.

Leverkusen's Clinical Finishing Secures Advantage

Leverkusen's goals came courtesy of goals from Julian Baumgartlinger and Patrik Schick, who capitalized on Roma's defensive lapses to give their team a commanding advantage heading into the second leg. The German side also displayed resilience in their passing, completing 351 of 430 passes to Roma's 439 of 530.

Leverkusen Eye Europa League Glory

With the second leg scheduled for next week at Leverkusen's home ground, the German team will be confident of securing their place in the final. They will be aiming to continue their unbeaten run and lift the Europa League trophy for the first time in their history.
