Leicester City vs Roma live: latest score and updates from Europa ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Leicester have a job to with a stubborn Roma side. No changes at half time for either team, and the first action of the half is a Roma throw-in.

Allbrighton passes to Vardy, and seeks it on the edge of the box, but it only makes it out to a corner. Jose Mourinho not only returns to English soil for the first time since his ignominious exit from Tottenham last April, but reunites with a former colleague: Mourinho invited Brendan Rogers to coach Chelsea's Youth Academy in 2004, later promoting him to reserve team manager. Abraham pushes the ball out to safety, but Leicester have their blood up. Albrighton goes for the box, but Smalling gets in the way, redirecting the ball. Maddison sends it into the melee, and whilst it doesn't find the target, a great shot from Leicester's goes into the box and Justin and Smalling clash heads going for the ball. Leicester continue to trouble the Roma defence, before the visitors get a handle on possession, looking to take out some of Leicester's ferocity. Leicester regain possession however, with Dewsbury-Hall trying to dribbling into the penalty area, but Roma have locked down, making things very difficult for Leicester's hopes of progressing further. Maddison whips it in quickly, but no one can catch it to poke it into goal. Albrighton has the ball now, and sends it into the box for Lookman, whose advance puts Roma under pressure and it's out for a corner. Albrighton on the edge of the box takes a shot but it deflects off for a corner. Albrighton takes, and Lookman tries to send it in with a header, but it goes too high. Again, Leicester have come up all guns blazing, but Roma are a tough team to work down.

Feyenoord lead Marseille 3-2 after first leg of Europa Conference ... (FRANCE 24)

Feyenoord beat Marseille 3-2 in Rotterdam, in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final on Thursday.

Yet, in a raucous atmosphere at De Kuip, Feyenoord went back in front just 11 seconds into the second half as Duje Caleta-Car's short backpass was intercepted by Dessers and the Belgian-born Nigerian international snapped up the chance. The French visitors were level five minutes before half-time when Matteo Guendouzi's low cross into the box from the right was turned out by Feyenoord goalkeeper Ofir Marciano and Brazil midfielder Gerson arrived to smash in the loose ball. In a remarkable game between two former European Cup winners, Marseille pulled a goal back in the 28th minute when Cedric Bakambu played a ball into the path of Bamba Dieng and the Senegal striker smashed in a shot from just outside the area.

Europa Conference League semifinals: Quality quartet remain (Playing for 90)

The Europa League Conference is back with the semifinals, pitting Feyenoord against Lyon and Leicester City against AS Roma.

For example, if Roma win the Conference League and make the Europa League via the Serie A, the Europa League place via Serie A will not be given to another team in the league. In this scenario and the one above it, the team’s European place made available via the domestic league would not be passed down to a team or teams below them. This time the Giallorossi were not to be denied, overturning a first leg deficit with a convincing 4-0 win to move on at the expense of the Norwegians. A trip to the capital will come for Leicester on the weekend as they face a Spurs side hoping to return to the Champions League. A Roma side that has finally started to find consistency at the right point of the season come into this one with more than enough reason to be confident. A meeting with Bologna will occur between the meetings with Leicester. Both sides have shown great strength of late, and an argument could be made for either side to reach the final. With Rennes and Monaco both six points behind, Champions League football is not yet assured for Marseille, who face Olympique Lyon in a riveting match over the weekend. Drawn in a Europa League group with Galatasaray, Lazio, and Lokomotiv Moskva, things did not go to plan for Jorge Sampaoli’s men. Nevertheless, they finished top of their group, going unbeaten against Slavia Praha, Union Berlin and Maccabi Haifa. In the round of 16, they ousted Partizan Belgrade before facing Slavia for a second time a round later. Feyenoord find themselves in third place in the Eredivisie with four games remaining. While it has been two decades since the Rotterdam-based club graced a European semifinal, they will be ready for the challenge Marseille presents.

Leicester City 1-1 Roma: Own goal rescues a draw against Jose ... (Eurosport.com)

Gianluca Mancini rescues a draw for Leicester in the first leg of the Europa Conference League semi-final tie against Roma.

79' - IS AWKWARD FOR RUI PATRICIO! Tielemans wins the ball for Leicester in a dangerous area, Iheanacho takes control as he gets his shot away from 25 yards. It's a brilliantly worked goal, too, as Zalewski drives his side forward with a menacing run before carving inside and picking the run of Pellegrini in behind the Leicester defence with a perfectly-weighted through ball. Roma spent a lot of the match camped in their own half and the former Manchester United defender was key to absorbing Leicester's pressure. That may well play into Leicester's hands, as they can be dangerous on the break and will be confident of scoring at least once in Rome. 15' - GOAL! LEICESTER 0-1 ROMA (LORENZO PELLEGRINI): Roma's skipper Pellegrini gives the visitors the lead! 51' - MUST DO BETTER! Lookman is unmarked and should score as he meets Albrighton's corner delivery, but he can't keep it down.

Leicester hit back at Roma to take shine off José Mourinho's return ... (The Guardian)

Leicester's second-half goal cancelled out Lorenzo Pellegrini's opener to seal a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final.

“The winner of the Roma final has to win the Albanian final,” Mourinho said, referring to the competition’s final next month in Tirana. “For us it makes a difference to play at home with 70,000 [fans].” Barnes sent a cross into the six-yard box and Lookman was there to help it in with some help from Mancini. This stadium was now rocking but Rodgers was a picture of calm, sipping a bottle of water. We’re in with a fantastic chance to get to the final.” Mourinho is adamant Roma’s home advantage for the “final date” will help to propel them to the final and Rodgers was effusive in his praise of his youthful team’s performance, with James Maddison, Wesley Fofana and Lookman lively on Jamie Vardy’s return to the starting lineup. Chances had been at a premium but Barnes poured forward into a dangerous position at the byline after the Roma centre-back Roger Ibañez, trying to shield the ball from Iheanacho, inadvertently played a one-two with the Leicester winger. “He got me the best Portuguese bottle of wine,” Mourinho said.

Europa Conference League Match Report: Leicester City 1 - 1 Roma (Fosse Posse)

City can't make territorial dominance pay because, you know, Mourinho.

The draw gives us one foot in the Europa Conference League final...and one foot out of it. Tammy Abraham took on three City defenders and did well to hold up the ball in the Foxes’ box. Barnes was alone behind the defence and had ages to pick out a pass, spotting Lookman’s run with a cross. Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho came on for Vardy and Albrighton, with Lookman switching to the right flank and Barnes manning the left. James Justin on— BBC Sport Leicester (@BBCRLSport) #LCFC's 1-1 draw with AS Roma: "We showed in the last round against PSV that we could dig in deep and get the victory. City continued to have approximately all of the possession but could do nothing against the stacked cohorts of the Roman defence. Wingback Nicola Zalewski picked up the ball in his own half and was able to carry it the length of the pitch with Albrighton trailing in his wake. You could say that the scoreline was misleading, but given that I Giallorossi are managed by Jose Mourinho, the match was proceeding very much according to the visitor’s script. Castagne was unable to carry on after having his neck grabbed in the box. That was it for the first half. None of them produced a clear-cut chance, but we did see Castagne go wide with a header from a tight angle and a couple of blocked efforts from Maddison. It wasn’t strictly one-way traffic, as Roma looked threatening breaking down the City left, but for a quarter-hour Leicester were well on top. Leicester City were unable to separate themselves from a dire A.S. Roma side in the home leg of their historic Europa Conference League semi-final tie.

Standard in the conference league vs europa is miles higher too. However it's given me the chance to travel to 3 away matches to towns and cities in Europe I've not been to before, it's meant our team played Napoli, Rennes, Roma and created a chance to dream. Ed Langley : It's lazy & apparently "cool" to diss the conference league. The introduction of the competition, which City fell into after failing to qualify from the group stages of the Europa League, has been criticised by some pundits. But Those comments have prompted a reaction from City fans, who agree with Mourinho over the inaugural competition. I think the game was too good to be the Conference League.”
