Booking: Mourinho, who is been quite vocal on the touchlines tonight, finally sees a yellow card.

Matic is back after some treatment on the sidelines.

Oh wait, he is down again.

Matic is the latest player to go down and it is most probably a bout of cramp. It has been a long night and the Serbian has put in a good shift.

Sevilla with a prolonged phase of pressure, which Roma seems to be dealing with ease here. One can notice the tiredness in the players now.

Ibanez has been down on the ground for a long time after taking that knock on his face from Lamela.

Extra-time looking more likely now. Neither team is going for the kill by the look of it.

Roma with a huge chance to grab a great lead. The Sevilla defence is caught napping as Spinazzola lobs the ball to Belotti who had made a good run. Belotti goes for a first-time shot on the volley but horribly miscues his effort.

He tells the referee that Bounou had a minor touch but Sevilla gets a goalkick. The replay showed that the Sevilla keeper had indeed, got the slighest of touches.

Roma with a penalty shout this time for a potential Sevilla inside the box.

VAR has a check and agrees with Taylor’s decision. Fernando’s hand is not in an unnatural position.

VAR invited Anthony Taylor to have a look at the screen. Upon looking he overturns his decision. Sevilla is not happy. Roma breathes a sigh of relief.

The replay clearly showed thatc Ibanez had got the ball before Ocampos went to the ground.

Roma sub: IN- Belotti OUT- Abraham

Booking: Celik becomes the fifth Roma player to see a yellow card on the night.

Pellegrini swings the ball inside the box from a freekick. The ball is delivered to a good position as Abraham tries to toepoke the ball inside the net. Bounou makes a good save. The ball falls around the six-yard box and Ibanez gets to it. He goes for the shot but miscues it horribly.

Bookings: Rakitic and Cristante are shown a yellow card each for arguing with the referee.

Rakitic clipped the heels of Dybala and Roma players surrounded the refere demanding a yellow card. Cristante sees the yellow card for not listening to the referee, while Rakitic sees the card for the foul.

One of Roma’s staff also sees the yellow card.

Smalling gets at the end of Dybala’s cross and heads the ball towards goal. It is an accurate header but Bounou collects the ball without fuss.

Pellegrini goes for goal from a freekick but hits the wall. The distance was quite ambitious and would have required something special from Pellegrini.

Roma finding it difficult to keep out an energised Sevilla. Lamela clips the ball into the box. Smalling clears it but Sevilla clearly the team on top at the moment.

GOOOALLL!! SEVILLA IS BACK INTO THE MATCH!! Navas delivers a beautiful cross from the right. Mancini cannot control the cross and ends up putting the ball inside his own net.

Roma leading 1-0 against Sevilla in the final as the second-half gets underway.

Paulo Dybala’s 35th-minute strike keeps Roma in a 1-0 lead against Sevilla in the final.

Rakitic takes a shot from outside the box and comes agonisingly close to scoring, as the ball hits the post and comes back into play. That was such a clean hut by the Croatian.

Sevilla’s flank play has been good and the wingers are trying to service El-Nesyri but the Roma centre-backs- Smalling and Ibanez have done an excellent job till now.

Seven minutes added at the end of the first-half.

Booking: Pellegrini is shown a yellow card for diving. The Roma players wanted a penalty after Pellegrini went down but the decision goes Sevilla’s way.

Dybala shows his class again by getting past his marker and making an excellent run down the right flank. He finds Pellegrini with a pullback, who delays his shot and ends up losing the ball.

Telles sends a quality cross inside the box from the left. El-Nesyri makes a solid run and would have got to the ball if not for Ibanez’s clearance with a diving header. Also, the timing of El-Nesyri’s jump wasn’t perfect.

Mourinho and the Roma players wanted a freekick but Taylor does not agree.

Dybala’s smooth movement is too much to deal with for Rakitic as he fouls the goalscorer. The Croatian is lucky to escape a booking.

Mourinho didn’t show too many emotions after the goal, knowing there is a long way to go. The fans, however, are making their presence known as a layer of smoke, from the flares, engulfs more than half of the pitch.

GOOALL!! Dybala with a wonderful finish to open the scoring in the match!! Rakitic lost control of the ball and Mancini capitalises by collecting it and playing a wonderful through ball to Dybala, who had made an excellent run. Once inside the box, the Argentine keeps his calm to slot the ball in the far-corner of the goal.

The check is over and no penalty is given. Play continues.

VAR is having a potential penalty check after Gudelj seemed to have caught Abraham on his face with a high boot.

But the replay shows that it was not really that much a high boot. Gudelj was just clearing the ball and it was more of Abraham taking his face towards Gudelj’s boot.

Spinazzola passes the ball to Dybala near the Sevilla box. It is not the best of touches by the Argentina, which allows Rakitic to snatch the ball from him.

El-Nesyri had caught Ibanez on his face as he jumped to head the ball. There was no malicious intent but play stops as the Roma player gets some medical attention.

Navas delivers a nice cross inside the Roma box from the right flank. El-Nesyri jumps for the ball but cannot make proper contact.

Booking: Matic is the first player to see a yellow card in the final. He gets a yellow card for catching Ocampos with his hand as he jumped for the ball.

Sevilla is spending more time in Roma’s box and looks the more comfortable team with the ball. However, the best chance of the match till now fell to Roma, when Spinazzola’s shot was saved by Bounou.

What a save from Bounou to keep the scores level! Celik gets the ball inside the Sevilla box and rolls it down to Spinazzola. Spinazzola opens the face of his right boot and shoots at goal, only to see his effort saved by the Sevilla keeper.

Dybala makes a in ful flow as he carried the ball inside the Sevilla half. He is ultimately brought down by Gudelj.

Referee Anthony Taylor gives a foul in Roma’s favour but keeps his cards in the pocket.

Roma’s defensive shape looks impressive in these early minutes. As soon as Roma loses the ball, its players are dropping back into their own half and defending in numbers.

It is a spritely start from both the teams as they look to get an early lead. We can expect Roma to get a bit conservative as and when the match goes but for now, it is end-to-end.

Roma with an early corner and Sevilla is under pressure.

Nothing comes from the set-piece. The ball is cleared and it falls to Dybala. The Argentine takes a shot from distance, but skies his effort.

The Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma is underway at the Puskar Arena in Budapest, Hungary.

• Sevilla has reached the final of the UEFA Cup/Europa League for the seventh time, two more than any other club. It has won the competition everytime it has reached the final (2006, 2007, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2020)

Roma manager Jose Mourinho has never lost a European final while Sevilla is six from six in Europa League finals. Something has to give in Budapest on Wednesday.

Portugal’s Mourinho has five major continental titles to his name -- two Champions League wins, two Europa League trophies and last year’s triumph in the inaugural Europa Conference League with the Italian side.

The 60-year-old announced himself on the big stage in 2003 when he led Porto to the UEFA Cup, the Europa League’s precursor, and the following year he won the Champions League..

Inter Milan became champion of Europe on his watch for the first time in 45 years in 2010 and he celebrated his fourth continental trophy during his spell at Manchester United in 2017, winning the Europa League.

Twenty years on he is defying the naysayers who said his career was on the wane after a disappointing spell at Tottenham.

If Roma lifts the trophy in Hungary, Mourinho will pull clear of Giovanni Trapattoni, who also won five major European trophies in his coaching career.
