The man from Cordoba entered in the second half and won the goal that forced extra time, where Mourinho's team beat Feyenoord 4-1 in Rome.


Paulo Dybala brought

Roma

back to life

with a fundamental goal in the closing stages that extended the game until extra time, in which he guided his team to victory against Feyenoord (4-1, 4-2 aggregate) and to the semifinals of the

Europa League

, in which Exequiel Palacios' Bayer Leverkusen will be measured.

The Cordovan was once again the key piece of

José Mourinho

's team .

There is not much more mystery on Thursday's European night in the Italian capital.

Roma seemed dead, evicted with Paixao's goal, but revived at the hands of a Dybala who, at half speed, still touched by the injury he suffered in the first leg, once again led those led by the Portuguese to success.

The Giallorosso 

team suffered

without its star in the first half.

He started motivated, intense, accompanied by a full Olympic Stadium, including the visiting side due to the ban on Dutch fans, who intimidated in the first moments, but lacked lucidity in the final meters.

The one that Dybala always puts.

And it is that very aware of the important loss of its rival, Feyenoord in defense was a lock.

He joined the defense line and the midfield line and greatly complicated the transit through the central lane, forcing Mourinho's men to hit balls constantly, a remedy that barely had any effect.

Only the quality of Spinazzola on the left generated spaces that the winger himself later dismissed with unwise crosses.

Matic exhibited his quality in defensive actions throughout the game, imperial minimizing rival attacks as much as possible.

The stadium effect was disappearing as Feyenoord was settling down.

A shot from Cristante that grazed the post, a poorly managed counter between Belotti and Pellegrini and a shot from El Shaarawy were the highlights in attack by a

Loba

who, in addition to finding herself incapable in the final meters, suffered an injury to Wijnaldum.

To all this, Feyenoord took the game to their land.

Losses of time from minute 1, fouls to cut the pace and tanganas to drive the Italians crazy had the desired effect.

It was not played regularly.

The Dutch gradually grew based on that defensive solidity and as a result of the clearest chance of the game.

A great combination in midfield that ended with a cross that Szymanski finished off powerfully just where Rui Patricio was, who found the ball and threw it away at point-blank range.

The second act began the same as the first, with a rush from the locals that led to a shot off Pellegrini's post.

The stadium began to believe and after a Dutch response,

the long-awaited Romanista goal arrived

.

Spinazzola, key to the success of this team, finished off a loose ball and set the game on fire even more.

The Feyenoord players' legs began to shake.

Those of Roma were fresh again.

The Rotterdam team began to mistrust, to have doubts about what had been a perfect ball release up to now that led to an imprecise one.

The goal changed everything.

Dybala's entry

was an added bonus that turned the match even more towards the goal defended by Bijlow.

Even Cristante made it 2-0 on the scoreboard, but the referee annulled the goal due to a clear prior foul by Abraham.

But what seemed to be going in one direction changed radically with the injury to Smalling, absolute leader of the

Giallorossa

defense .

Without him, Roma was weaker behind.

And Feyenoord made the most of it when they were on the ropes.

Paixao finished free of mark and scored the tie at one.

Silence fell in the Olympic

.

Feyenoord's problem was the same as that of many other teams that pass through the Italian capital.

It has a first and last name.

It's Paulo Dybala.

The Jewel does not fail in the big moments since its arrival in Rome.

Good control inside the area from behind and a swing turned his left foot into a great goal, to reengage the fans and take the game to extra time.

Everything happened in extra time.

Feyenoord had it very clearly in Giménez's boots.

Dybala scared with a relapse, visibly upset, but recovered to place a corner on Ibáñez's head that ended up on the post.

The game broke up due to the physical wear and tear, and between comings and goings

the sentence came

.

Pellegrini found Abraham in the area, who did the same with El Shaarawy.

But the meeting did not stop there.

Once again Dybala was the formula for happiness

.

Golden pass to Abraham that the star striker in the goal but whose rejection was picked up by Pellegrini to put the final 4-1 with suspense due to the VAR review.

Roma is Dybala and ten more.

The world champion led his team to the semifinals, in which they will face Bayer Leverkusen led by Xabi Alonso and who also has Qatar champion Exequiel Palacios.

A forceful start against Union St. Gilloise, an inexperienced rival conditioned by pressure, facilitated the 4-1 victory in Brussels with goals from Moussa Diaby (2m), Mitchel Bakker (38m), Jeremie Frimpong (60m) and Adam Hlozek ( 80m).

In addition, with this victory, the German team reached twelve games without losing.
