Sevilla won the match 4–1 in a penalty shootout after the game ended 1–1 even after extra time. This win gave them their seventh UEFA Cup/Europa League title.[7] Because they won, they got a spot in the group stage of the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League, and they also got to play against the winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, which was Manchester City, in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup.[8] The final game was talked about because there were some controversial decisions made by the referee, Anthony Taylor.

Match

change

In the 35th minute of the match, Roma scored a goal when Paulo Dybala kicked the ball into the right corner of the net after receiving a pass from Gianluca Mancini. However, Sevilla evened the score at 1-1 ten minutes into the second half when Mancini accidentally put the ball into his own net after a cross from Jesús Navas on the right.

The game continued for almost 130 minutes, and then it had to be decided by a penalty shootout. Roma missed two of their penalties during the shootout. One was saved by the Sevilla goalkeeper, Bono, and the other one hit the goalpost. Gonzalo Montiel, who had also scored the winning penalty for Argentina in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final against France, scored the winning penalty for Sevilla. His penalty was initially missed, but it was retaken because of a rule violation.[9]
