PENALTY MISSED!
Pellegrini steps up and fires his spot kick against the crossbar.
VAR CHECKING THE SPOT KICK
The foul could have been committed just outside the area, although replays suggest it was on the line - and therefore a penalty.
PENALTY TO ROMA!
Ibanez drives into the right side of the area and is brought crashing to the ground.
CHECK OVER - NO PENALTY
Mourinho will heave a sigh of relief. It did look accidental.
VAR CHECK FOR AN EMPOLI PENALTY
Roma clear a left-wing corner but VAR are taking a closer look for a potential elbow.
