Only 40 seconds had passed when Riccardo Calafiori fired a first caution against the area of ​​YB goalkeeper David von Ballmoos. The ball hissed just over the far post. About an hour later, the 18-year-old had adjusted the visor more precisely. After a free kick from Roma, Calafiori hit the masterful on the crossbar from over 20 meters.

It was the home team’s well-deserved 2: 1 who dominated the game in the first half and could have decided more efficiently in the second half. In addition to Calafiori at the start, Bruno Peres (8th), Carles Perez (14th) and Pedro (16/27) also lost first-rate scoring opportunities. YB survived the difficult phase, sometimes thanks to a brilliant Von Ballmoos, sometimes thanks to luck. There was very little to do – until the 34th minute.

• Jordan Lefort served Jean-Pierre Nsame with a wide ball. The YB striker first left Bryan Cristante and then fooled Roma goalkeeper Pau Lopez by taking him ahead from Bern.

The “Giallorossi”, however, did not let themselves be disturbed by the blow to the neck. Before the break, Borja Mayoral used a rebound from Pedro with his head to equalize. The final point was set by Roma’s substitute striker, Edin Dzeko, in the 81st minute with a 3-1.

YB misses a point for the knockout stage

The negative highlight from Bern’s point of view was the dismissal of Aly Camara shortly before the end. The defender got carried away in an assault against Henrich Mchitarjan and will miss manager Gerardo Seoane in the last match of the group stage.

This will be a showdown between YB and Cluj. One point is enough for the Swiss champions to reach the sixteenth final of the Europa League on 10 December in Wankdorf.
