Roma struck the first blow in the Conference League final against Feyenoord in the 32nd minute when Nicolo Zaniolo chested down Gianluca Mancini's ball to beat the keeper.

Roma and Feyenoord did not bring out all their weapons at the start of the game. There was a lot of fear on the pitch as it was a final and neither side wanted to make any mistakes.

However, luck smiled sooner rather than later on one of the two sides. And it was none other than Mourinho's side, with less than 15 minutes to go before they went to the dressing room.

It was none other than Zaniolo, who chested down Mancini's masterful long-range pass to make it 1-0. The No22 didn't get nervous and with a subtle touch, he made it impossible for Bijlow.

The entire Roman bench went wild, but there was Mourinho, who knows what he's doing, to bring peace. However, Roma were far from creating any danger at all, as that was their first shot on target.
