Ten-man Roma beat Milan to set up Europa League semi with Leverkusen
AS Roma beat AC Milan 2-1 on Thursday to complete a 3-1 aggregate win and set up a semifinal showdown with Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League.
Defender Gianluca Mancini, whose 17th-minute header had helped Roma edge Milan 1-0 at the San Siro last week, gave them another earlylead in the quarterfinal second leg, scoring on a rebound from close range in the 12th minute.
Paulo Dybala doubled the advantage for the hosts 10 minutes later with a curled shot inside the far post before Matteo Gabbia pulled one back for Milan five minutes from time, nodding home a cross from forward Rafael Leao.
Last season's runners-up Roma, who were beaten on penalties by Sevilla after a 1-1 draw in the final, advanced to their fourth European semifinal in a row.
FORZA GRANDE ROMA!
