Email link
PENALTIES: Roma 3-1 Feyenoord. Aouar belts calmly into the bottom right, and Feyenoord are on the brink now.
Email link
PENALTIES: Roma 2-1 Feyenoord. Jahanbakhsh, sent on for this, misses. Just like Hancko before him, he flips a weak effort to the left, and Svilar is equal to it, tipping around the post. Advantage Roma!
Email link
PENALTIES: Roma 2-1 Feyenoord. Cristante whips into the top-right corner, sending Wellenreuther the wrong way. That’s unstoppable.
Email link
PENALTIES: Roma 1-1 Feyenoord. Hancko goes left … but Svilar goes the right way, and palms around the post! That wasn’t a great effort either. Full marks to both keepers, though!
Email link
PENALTIES: Roma 1-1 Feyenoord. Lukaku, fresh from missing two late chances in extra time, scuffs a dismal effort towards the bottom right. Wellenreuther guesses correctly and flops over it.

PENALTIES: Roma 1-1 Feyenoord. Ueda up first for the visitors. Deafening whistles. He gulps … then sends Svilar the wrong way and the ball into the bottom left.

EXTRA TIME, FULL TIME: Roma 1-1 Feyenoord (agg 2-2)
… Lukaku heads down and up over the bar! He’s been feeding off scraps all night, only to have two big chances in extra-time added time! Penalties it is!
Email link
ET 30 min +1: All of a sudden, Lukaku comes to life! He’s slipped into the box down the inside-right channel and sends a low drive across Wellenreuther, who tips around the box. And from the resulting corner …
Email link
ET 30 min: Alireza Jahanbakhsh comes on with penalties in mind. Mats Wieffer makes way. There will be one additional minute.
Email link
ET 29 min: Çelik drives in from the right, and drives in hard. His sheer determination nearly earns a huge slice of luck, but after evading a couple of challenges and reaching the edge of the D, his good fortune runs out and he loses control. For a second, things were opening up dramatically there.
Email link
ET 27 min: Lukaku bustles to win a header on the edge of the Feyenoord box. That hard work allows Zalewski to dribble into the area from the left … but with options inside, he slips over and the chance is gone.
Email link
ET 25 min: Baldanzi crosses low from the left, looking for Lukaku in the middle. Wellenreuther smothers at his feet.
Email link
ET 24 min: … but they do then win a free kick out on the right touchline. Ivanušec swings it into a crowded mixer, but Svilar once again does his job without fuss, plucking the ball from the sky.
Email link
ET 23 min: Geertruida works the ball to Minteh on the right. Minteh enters the box and only has Svilar to beat, albeit from a tight angle. His rising shot towards the near post is easily batted away, and Feyenoord don’t even get a corner as a consolation prize.
Email link
ET 21 min: Angeliño tries to get the better of Wieffer down the left but fails. He wants a free kick, claiming to have been wrestled to the floor, but there’s no foul. Had the referee decided otherwise, he might have been forced to show Wieffer a second yellow. But it’s all moot. Only Angeliño seems animated by it all, to be fair.
Email link
ET 20 min: Zalewski is cut down by Timber as he tries to cut infield from the left. A free kick in a dangerous position. Everyone lines up on the edge of the box waiting for Angeliño’s delivery … but it’s not worth that wait, and Hartman heads clear. Say what you like about this game, the goalkeepers should be pretty fresh for the shoot-out. They’ve hardly been worked at all.
Email link
ET 18 min: Lukaku caught offside under a long ball now. It’s not been his night. Yet.
Email link
ET 17 min: Wieffer is booked for planting an elbow on the back of Paredes’s head. He’ll miss the first leg of the next round if his team make it.
Email link
ET 16 min: Lukaku attempts to turn on a sixpence and slip Baldanzi clear down the middle. But once again the distance between his feet betrays him, and the ball gets stuck.
Email link
Feyenoord get the second half of extra time underway. Roma have replaced Leonardo Spinazzola with Angeliño.
Email link
Roll up for the roundup … but don’t forget to come back here for the denouement! You’ve come this far, after all.
Email linkEXTRA TIME, HALF TIME: Roma 1-1 Feyenoord (agg 2-2)
Feyenoord now look the more dangerous. Roma were running on fumes during that first period of extra time.
Email link
ET 14 min: Ueda clears the bar in the rugby-conversion style. What a waste.
Email link
ET 13 min: Dybala, totally out of gas, is replaced by Baldanzi. Then N’Dicka is booked for coming through the back of Ueda. A free kick, 25 yards out, to the left of centre.
Email link
ET 11 min: Wieffer and Minteh combine again down the inside-right channel. The ball’s rolled into the box but Geertruida can’t quite meet it on the penalty spot. Had he got there, he was one on one with the keeper. A lovely move. Roma suddenly look dead on their feet.
Email link
ET 10 min: Wieffer nearly works space for a shot in the Roma box. Not quite, but the ball’s worked to Hartman on the left. He crosses long to earn a corner. The set piece is easily cleared, but Roma are suddenly struggling and the home fans have slipped into Whistle Mode.
Email link
ET 8 min: Minteh drives again down the right but, with Ueda in the middle, dribbles down a cul-de-sac instead. The ball clanks off his shin and squirts through to Svilar. The final-third decisions have been lacking, but at least Feyenoord are finally showing a bit of ambition in attack again.
Email link
ET 6 min: Wieffer and Minteh combine briskly down the right, but when the latter cuts back for the former, hesitation rather than shooting is the order of the day. That’s no good at all.
Email link
ET 4 min: Ivanušec cuts in from the left and tries to make like Pellegrini, all those hours ago. His curler towards the right-hand side of the net is easily snaffled by Svilar.
Email link
ET 3 min: It’s whipped towards the near post, where Cristante should flick a header home from close range. But he hits his nearest opponent and has to settle for another corner. That one’s hit far too long. Goal kick.
Email link
ET 2 min: Zalewski’s first contribution is to win a corner down the left.
Email link
Roma get the first half of extra time underway. Stephan El Shaarawy has been replaced by Nicola Zalewski.
Email link
The other three late kick-offs have all been settled within the regulation 90 …
Marseille 3-1 Shakhtar Donetsk (agg 5-3)
Sparta Prague 4-1 Galatasaray (agg 6-4)
Sporting 1-1 Young Boys (HT; agg 4-2)
… so Marseille, Sparta Prague and Sporting advance along with earlier winners Qarabag, Milan, Freiburg and Benfica. Will Roma or Feyenoord join them all in Friday’s round-of-16 draw? We’re about to find out, even if there must be penalties!
Email linkFULL TIME: Roma 1-1 Feyenoord (agg 2-2)
Extra time it is!
Email link
90 min +5: … Wieffer eyebrows a danger-free header wide left.
Email link
90 min +4: Timber finds a bit of space down the left and loops a cross to the far stick. Spinazzola doesn’t realise there’s nobody behind him, and heads out for a corner. From which …
Email link
90 min +3: El Shaarawy tries to get something going down the left, but can only run the ball out for a goal kick.
Email link
90 min +2: Roma pass it around the back. No real momentum. Extra time looms large now, and the hosts don’t seem to mind.
Email link
90 min +1: There will be six additional minutes. The first passes without incident.
Email link
90 min: Timber comes slicing through Dybala, and that’s a no-brainer of a booking. He’ll miss the first leg of the next round should Feyenoord go through.
Email link
89 min: El Shaarawy on the edge of the D. He slips the ball to his right for Lukaku. For a split second, it looks like this could be the moment! But Lukaku allows the ball to clank between his feet, allowing Wellenreuther to smother.
Email link
87 min: Plenty of singing in the stands. A rare old atmosphere. Loud. The Stadio Olimpico bouncing. It’s an incongruous soundtrack to the slow, stodgy play.
Email link
85 min: Llorente looks very groggy as he’s bundled onto the stretcher, and then onto the cart. Off he goes. Evan N’Dicka, fresh from winning the Afcon with Ivory Coast, returns to the club scene.
Email link
83 min: Llorente looks to have come off worse. He’s flat out on his back, an icepack pressed onto the top of his head. On comes the medical truck.
Email link
82 min: Llorente and Ueda accidentally clash in mid-air. On come the medics to check their noggins.
Email link
81 min: Cristante sprays a long ball down the left for El Shaarawy, who is once again denied on the edge of the box by Wellenreuther, who again reads the danger perfectly to claim.

Updated at 16.48 EST
79 min: Hartman barges his way down the left, reaches the byline, and storms into the box. His low cross can’t find Ueda in the middle, but for the first time in a long while, Feyenoord have shown a little something in attack.
Email link
78 min: Roma’s goalscorer has already departed; now Feyenoord’s takes his leave too. Giménez, just back from injury, makes way for Ueda.
Email link
76 min: Çelik romps down the right towards the byline. He looks to set up Lukaku with a heading opportunity at the near post, but his cross is the perfect height for Wellenreuther, who punches spectacularly clear.
