The endless match opened with Koné's KO in the 18th minute before Rowe took charge, scoring in the 22nd minute. Roma equalized with Ndicka, but Bologna, first with Bernardeschi in the first half's stoppage time and then with Castro's powerful shot in the 58th minute, went ahead by two goals. Roma, fueled by the Olimpico's support, leveled the match with Malen in the 59th minute and Pellegrini in the 80th minute.

In extra time, the match, frozen in the first extra half, was decided by Cambiaghi in the 111th minute.

⚡ Cambiaghi at 111' makes it 3-4, what a match!

Bologna strikes in the 110th minute with the freshness of the forwards. A long triangle between Dallinga and Cambiaghi with the Italian surpassing Ndicka and with his left foot beats Svilar, sending the visiting rossoblù section into a frenzy.

🥱 First extra time without highlights

The fatigue, after a match played at frantic paces, was palpable.

Roma and Bologna studied each other in the first extra time without any opportunities.

🤯 Comeback completed: Pellegrini makes it 3-3. It goes to extra time

A beautiful match at the Olimpico extends into extra time. 3-3 over 90 minutes and extra time to decide which of the two will advance to the quarter-finals. 

Roma completes the double comeback in the 80th minute thanks to a strike from Vaz, in his first great performance since joining the yellow and reds.

The ball inside reaches Pellegrini who, from the edge of the area, curls it with his left foot past Ravaglia. The Olimpico erupts. 

🔥 Vaz's strike, penalty earned. Malen scores again

In the 67th minute, Roma, having suffered the blow of 3-1, suddenly revives. Vaz enters the area and is brought down by Ferguson.

Malen steps up to the penalty spot, spreads it wide, and ignites the Olimpico.

🚀 Rowe possessed, Castro breaks through! Bologna's third

A possessed action by Rowe who first presses Cristante and then N'Dicka, recovering a ball that goes to Castro. The forward unleashes a powerful shot that beats Svilar.

👀El Sha naive, Bologna penalty. Bernardeschi scores

Naivety from El Shaarawy at the end of the first half: internal overlap by Zortea that the former Milan player brings down unnecessarily.

Federico Bernardeschi steps up to the penalty spot and with incredible composure sends Svilar the wrong way, sending his team into the break with a lead. 

⚡ Stunning goal by Rowe, N'Dicka equalizes

Roma reacts almost immediately: a free-kick by Pellegrini hits the crossbar. From the subsequent corner, it's N'Dicka again, who hadn't scored for years, to net his fourth goal in recent weeks. The match is back to a tie.

Bologna takes the lead as they did in the first leg. Castro holds the ball and serves Rowe who, from outside the area, places it in the top corner with his right foot. 

A stunning goal by the Englishman, which Mancini protested heavily for a hold just before the ball went to Castro. 

❌ Blow for Roma: Koné KO again

An incredible blow for Roma as they lose Manu Koné again in the 18th minute. The Frenchman, angry and frustrated by the physical problem, left the field heading straight to the locker room.

A relapse for the yellow and red midfielder who had just returned. Lorenzo Pellegrini takes his place in the attacking midfield with Cristante and Pisilli in the middle. 

🔥 AMAZING atmosphere at the Olimpico
