AS Roma Crash Out of Europa League

Royale Union Saint-Gilloise Stuns Mourinho's Men

Unheralded Belgian Club Advances to Round of 16

In a stunning upset, AS Roma's Europa League campaign came to an abrupt end on Thursday as they were defeated by Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Belgian club, making their debut in European competition, shocked the Serie A giants with a dominant performance that belied their underdog status.

Royale Union took the lead in the first half through Dante Vanzeir, who capitalized on a defensive error to fire past Rui Patricio.

Roma equalized in the second half through Paulo Dybala, but Dante Vanzeir proved to be the match-winner, scoring his second goal of the night to seal the victory for the Belgian side.

The result marked a disappointing end to Roma's Europa League campaign, with manager Jose Mourinho failing to guide his team beyond the knockout stages.

Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, on the other hand, will now face Union Berlin in the Round of 16, with the Belgian club aiming to continue their remarkable run in the competition.
