Roma 2-2 Wolfsberg: Through despite draw


Roma are through to the knockout stages of the Europa League despite a 2-2 draw with Wolfsberger AC on Thursday evening.

Needing to avoid defeat to guarantee their progression at the Stadio Olimpico, the Giallorossi just about managed that - although they progressed as runners-up in Group J.

Diego Perotti (from the penalty spot) and Edin Dzeko grabbed the goals for the Giallorossi, who led 2-1 at half-time despite an unfortunate own goal.

Shon Weissman then headed home in the second half to level matters, but Roma could not find a late winner.

Nevertheless, that was enough to progress to the last-32 - joining Istanbul Basaksehir, who topped the group after beating Borussia Monchengladbach.
