The Giallorossi were pretty ordinary in the first half and Elfsborg should have scored a goal even before they actually did, but they missed their opportunities to go in front. A Tommaso Baldanzi handball in the 44th minute led to Michael Baidoo slotting home a penalty and handing Elfsborg a deserved lead.
Roma didn’t really create too many clear opportunities to score and because of their failure to beat Athletic Bilbao in the previous game, they have just one point in the Europa League so far.
Roma boss Ivan Juric spoke to the press about the result but he was encouraged, saying: “There are many positive things, the team moved the ball well. I saw many chances, a lot of play. We definitely need to improve on the counterattacks, we weren’t able to score and we accept that, but I didn’t see a negative performance or confusion.”
