Athletic Club 3-1 Roma result – Nico Williams masterclass sends Liga side into UEFA Europa League quarter-finals

Nico Williams is desperately unlucky to have not fired Athletic ahead at San Mames! He cuts in from the left-hand side past two Roma defenders before bending an effort that looked destined for the bottom corner but it strikes the post and Roma survive once more!

Maroan Sannadi looked set to put Athletic 1-0 up on the night but he's spawned the chance. The 24-year-old tried to clip the ball over Svilar but got his effort completely wrong and it flew wide of the target. That is a big chance and a big let off for Roma.

Confirmation of the yellow card shown to Mile Svilar for dissent.

They're yet to fashion a real goalscoring opportunity but it's been all Athletic so far at San Mames. Roma are yet to sacrifice a player and bring on an extra defender but Ranieri must surely be thinking of bringing another on soon.

Hummels is off and Roma will have to play the rest of this tie with 10 men! What drama at San Mames!

Mats Hummels has been sent off! The defender played a loose pass and then completely takes out Sannadi and the referee has sent him off for denying a goalscoring opportunity.

Athletic have had a whopping 75% possession inside the opening 10 minutes here as they look to level up the tie early on. They are yet to fashion an effort on target but they're the ones trying to take control of this game.

The hosts have started well here and have won a corner kick.

Inaki Williams does brilliantly down the rght-hand side before swinging in a delicious cross, Sannadi tries to meet it but can't get on the end of it. Straight away the forward put his thumb up to let Williams know what a terrific ball it was.

The ball is rolling in Bilbao!

Roma boss Claudio Ranieri believes Roma can not afford to play with any fear or complacency tonight, telling the media ahead of this match that if his side, "go onto the pitch with any fear or thinking that a draw is good for us, we’ll lose."

Roma come into this clash with a 2-1 lead on aggregate, thanks to Eldor Shomurodov's 93rd-minute winner in the first leg.

Just under 20 minutes to go until kick off at San Mames.

Claudio Ranieri has got Roma in excellent form coming into this match. They have won all of their last six matches across all competitions by a combined scoreline of 13-4, whilst they’re unbeaten in their last four away matches across all competitions (W3 D1), beating Empoli 1-0 on their most recent away day.

Athletic Club have won all four of their home matches in the UEFA Europa League this season. They last had a longer winning run on home soil in major European competition between 1985 and 1997 – a run of 11. Tonight though, simply not losing the match will not be enough for Athletic, who lost the first leg 2-1 in Rome and need a victory tonight to at least take the match to extra time.
