Roma v Leicester City result: Abraham goal fires Roma to win over Leicester and place in Europa Conference League final

The Italians are unbeaten in their last 18 UEFA club competition games at the Stadio Olimpico (W11 D7).

It's been rather one-sided in the first part of this opening 45. The hosts have looked sharp and have caused the Foxes several problems.

Leicester are trying to build up a bit of steam with some much-needed possession but they've yet to really trouble Smalling and Co.

Abraham makes the breakthrough to become the first English player to score 25 goals across all competitions in Europe's top five leagues this season.

Pellegrini races into the left channel to reach Zalewski's raking pass ahead of Evans, but he can't quite connect fully with his strike and Schmeichel is able to block.

The home side have looked by far the more threatening and Rodgers is sporting a concerned frown on the touchline while furiously making some notes.

Kieran Dewsbury-Hall drifts in from the right but can't cut enough curl on to a 25-yard strike that drifts wide of the far post.

Abraham bullets a thumping header through Schmeichel from a right-wing corner.

Roma lead 2-1 on aggregate.

Smalling meets the resulting corner but can't keep his header down.

Pellegrini lashes a free kick from the left flank low towards Schmeichel's near post and the Danish stopper does just enough to bounce it to safety via an unconventional save.

The Foxes man is back in the action and seems to be fine to continue.

Play resumes with a left-wing corner for the visitors that sees Fofana fall to the floor. Replays shows Smalling is all over him but the referee isn't interested.

James Justin is lying prone on the floor after an innocuous coming together with Sérgio Oliveira. The physio rush on to see to him. It look like a problem with his shoulder.

Roma are aiming to reach their first UEFA competition final since the 1990/91 UEFA Cup, when they lost 2-1 on aggregate to Internazionale.

Tonight's official is Serbia's Srdjan Jovanović.

Leicester get this semi-final second leg up and running.

The winner will meet Feyenoord or Marseille in the final in Tirana, Albania on 25 May.

Roma have won six of their last seven home encounters against English teams.
