TWO BIG CHANCES!
The first corner comes in from the left, which sees Pellegrini go for goal from a tight angle from inside the box, but Padt stands tall to tip it away for another corner.
Then, Roma hit the post with the second corner! Pellegrini's ball in is headed back across goal by Mancini, and it clips the outside of the right post!

CORNER!
The free-kick is one off the training ground! Dybala plays it short for Cristante, and he plays it forward with one touch for Pellegrini, but Nedyalkov makes a crucial block to put the ball out for a corner.

FREE-KICK!

PALMED AWAY!
Ludogorets attack down the left. Despodov tees up Cicinho on the overlap, and the Brazilian's cross is palmed away by Svilar in the Roma goal.
30'
POOR FROM DESPODOV
The winger goes down in the box really easily after a tussle with Mancini, and replays show it looks like a blatant dive. Mancini and Cristante are both unimpressed and show their frustration towards the Ludogorets man.

STILL GOALLESS
We still await the first goal of this game as we approach the half-hour mark.

ROMA STRUGGLING TO FIND RHYTHM
The away side look like the side more likely to score, but they are not able to find their usual rhythm in the final third.
22'
TOO STRONG!
Dybala does well to beat his man down the right, and he arrows in a cross towards the far post for Smalling, but there is too much power on the ball in, and it goes out for a Ludogorets free-kick.
20'
FOUL!
Cristante is lucky to escape a yellow card as he catches Souza in the centre of the park. Ludogorets cannot make most of the resulting free-kick, as Roma easily clear it at the first attempt.

FOUL!
Celik fouls Cicinho and Ludogorets have a free-kick deep inside their own third of the pitch.
