Highlights

90+3'

FT: Bayer Leverkusen 4-4 Roma. What an incredible game. How on earth did Bayer drag that back from there? The lead chopped and changed so many times it was hard to keep up. Roma will be furious they let this slip, but a point is not the end of the world. These meet again in two weeks in Rome. Let's hope for more of the same!

90+1'

CLOSE! Roma are back pedalling al the time, Hernandez twists and turns, fires at goal, but drags just wide.

90'

Wendell is cautioned for a wild lunge on Torosidis. This game is relentless! Three minutes added on...

88'

Eight goals in one match is equal to Roma's Champions League record. They lost 7-1 to both Bayern München (21 October 2014) and Manchester United (10 April 2007) before.

87'

Where did that come from? Bayer looked dead and buried! Very easy for the hosts, the ball was worked well to Wendell on the left, and his cross was perfect for Mehmedi to convert at the back post.

86'

GOAL! Bayer Leverkusen 4-4 Roma. Wow! What a game! Mehmedi taps in at the far post to square things up here! Would you believe it?

85'

Was a fine strike after working space for the shot well, but Szczesny should really have done better.

84'

GOAL! Bayer Leverkusen 3-4 Roma. Maybe it is not over yet! Wonderful strike from Kampl, curling the ball in from outside the box.

83'

Stuffing has well and truly been knocked out of Bayer. They looked shocked, but Roma have been immense since getting back into it at 2-1.

81'

Vladlen Yurchenko comes on for Bayer, replacing Omer Toprak, who has had a poor game in truth.

79'

Brandt tries to divert a header into the path of Hernandez but he gets his angles all wrong.

78'

Nainggolan's reprieve in the first half will rear its ugly head after this. Should he have been given his marching orders?

76'

Iago Falque is the fifth Spaniard to score a CL goal for an Italian team, after Álvaro Morata, Fernando Llorente (Juventus), José Marí (AC Milan) and José Callejón (Napoli).

75'

This man started it all, leading from the front.

74'

What a magnificent comeback from the dead. Gervinho again uses his pace to break the offside trap, he squares for Falque, who opens his body and guides the ball past Leno.

73'

GOAL! Bayer Leverkusen 2-4 Roma. Game over? Perfect counter from Roma, with Falque converting with ease to give his side a two-goal lead.

71'

Florenzi really should have squared it to Gervinho, who was unmarked and would surely have scored. The former Arsenal man is incredulous.

70'

WOODWORK! After Florenzi sees his powerful strike well saved by Leno, Falque heads the rebound onto the top of the crossbar.

68'

Almost straight away, Brandt tests Szczesny after taking it early, but the Arsenal loanee gathers easily.

67'

Kramer's game is over, as he is replaced by Julian Brandt, who can play anywhere across the midfield.
