The second half had just started and now it looked like the game would get even more interesting after a sleepy start to the first half.
The second half started with just the kind of response that I expected from Sevilla. The Coach made two changes and the changes have added tempo to the team. Sevilla have scored against Roma which is not something easy and most team have not been able to do in the last couple of games. The goal came from a well played cross into the penalty box of Roma by Jesus Navas that caused an own goal from Gianluca Mancini. The goal gives Sevilla the boost to know that they can still win the Europa again with pressure now on Roma to try and not concede another goal.

He's now recovered and started straight away and even with the counter-attack initiated by Dybala's move it was already something to be excited about except for Sevilla's first and only chance so far.
Both teams are still finding strength but if things like this keep happening I'm actually a little bored because this first half just revolved in the middle without any opportunities that really make the match worth watching.
But indeed I'm quite curious even though now it looks a little boring, hopefully there will be some rotation that occurs in the remaining 15 minutes of this first half.

Damn now this game is going to be like fire until the end. First cards given to players on the bench, fireworks in the stadium affecting the vision, players lying on the ground all the time and a first goal in the first half. I was hoping for this as now this game can be really enjoyed. Roma players will now exploit every foul and every detail to waste some time. I guess we will even see red cards for staff or players on the bench. This is a promising start into a EL final!
Roma are in the lead now and of course at this point Sevilla are starting to react because like it or not they have to do that to make the conditions favorable for them.
The second half had just started and now it looked like the game would get even more interesting after a sleepy start to the first half. Dybala deserved to be highlighted in the first half and now it looks like he wants more for the second half.
Dybala is a really special player and he proved it once again. Even though he had an injury and missed many matches recently it still didn't affect him negatively here. He doesn't care about being less fit than the other players. His clinical finish there can bring the Europa League championship to Roma. But as nothing has ended Mourinho wouldn't let his players become complacent even for a second.
He is an adamant manager in this kind of situations. I think in the second half we will watch an a little different Roma. The Mourinho I know would make his players park the bus or play according to a similar strategy. Because as of now they don't need to do anything different than maintaining the current advantage. Sevilla is the side that needs to take bigger risks now.
By the way Rakitic's shot was such an impressive one. It would have been a more impressive goal if the ball didn't come back from the post.

Roma did the job in the first half and got a goal up and as we all know now Mourinho will probobly park the bus and wait maybe for a counter attack. Sevilla will need to figure something out soon because Roma will waste as much as possible time to try and win this. But as we all know Sevilla i wouldnt be surprised if they yet again make a miracle in the europe league to win it.

Dybala has worked hard in this first half and he scores to give Roma the lead after the very first good attempt that they had earlier in the game where the Sevilla keeper saved the ball. Things will be more difficult for Sevilla now, if Roma enter the halftime with this lead. Sevilla has had more of the possesion advantage but they need to move the ball faster among themselves if they will beat this Roma defenders. Roma have been more organised in defence and attacking, they deserve to be a goal ahead. Lorenzo Pellegrini has also been effective for Roma in this first half. 
Yes Roma only have two key to win this cup, one of them its Mourinho, and the other one its Dybala, they dont have much more, they rely on this two persons.
Sevilla its much more solid in this amtches but its a unique match so lets see what happen.

Good prediction so far because the two key players you mentioned here have been doing very well in the first half of the match, Jose Mourinho who has never last in the final made a good fixture and Dybala was able to put his team ahead of Sevilla with a 1:0 lead in the first half very good performance for Roma do far.
For the Sevilla team, they were in possession of the ball more than Roma but Roma made more goal attempt thwn them do it's more like a 50:50 game. The first half has ended in favour of Roma hopefully we will see a good second half with more goals to be scored.
Sevilla had more possession, but that doesn't give anything away because they only really started to play in extra time in the first half. And it should be noted that these 7 minutes they played great, too much pressure, it was felt that they are extremely reluctant to go into the locker room with the score 0-1. Now the players will rest and it is unlikely that the Sevilla pressure will continue

And Dybala just scored. I predicted Sevilla to win and my prediction is still open but its going t very difficult for Sevilla to come back from this game. The match has be fairly even and both teams still have a chance to win, but we all know who Mourinho is. If Mourinho scores you, it will be very difficult for any team to come back.
The second half will see Sevilla attack more while Roma will be on the defending side.
To me, Roma's game plan has worked. it was just to score first and then defend and wait for the counter so they can score again. Let's see how the second half goes.
With that goal from Dybala, Roma have a good advantage but it also gives them a tactics they are most favorite to play. Sevilla got a distant shot from Ivan Rakitic which hits the goalpost. It is very unlucky for Rakitic and Sevilla but the first half ends with 1 - 0 for Roma.The second half will see Sevilla attack more while Roma will be on the defending side.
To me, Roma's game plan has worked. it was just to score first and then defend and wait for the counter so they can score again. Let's see how the second half goes.
Mourinho will tell his players to play full defensive like a match with Bayer Leverkusen in the semi final. Sevilla have to try to attack with their swings but they don't have Acuna in this match. I saw the face of Mendilibar after the goal of Dybala, he is very stressful but it's understandable when you got a conceded goal in a final match by Mourinho team.
Dybala is just the man at the moment who is the first to score in the final as he gives Roma a lead in the final match. This is a big advantage for Roma presently,but Mourinho is not happy with the result because he is not yet impressed that Sevilla won't equalise the goal.
This is the 5th goal scored by Dybala in 11 match appearance. It was a magnificent strike and so easy for him to net the post. It is five minutes more to the end of the first half.
No doubt for quality of Dybala and Mourinho did planned to reserve Dybala in the last few weeks. He did not want to take risk and use Dybala because he knows Dybala is important for Roma even he can play only 30 or 45 minutes. This final so far proves the vision of Mourinho for Roma is right, Dybala scores and makes some good dribbling for Roma.This is the 5th goal scored by Dybala in 11 match appearance. It was a magnificent strike and so easy for him to net the post. It is five minutes more to the end of the first half.
In the situation when Lorenzo Pellegrini gets his yellow card, if he let the ball to Matic, maybe Matic can score a second goal for Roma. Matic has good ability to shot well in that situation and that distance.

I was also hoping to see Dybala in the starting eleven and thankfully Mourinho heard me about it. Because as I said before he is a game changer and he can bring the match to Roma as well. It was a risk to take for Mourinho indeed because he missed last four official matches of his team due to his injury. But hopefully he won't have serious issues due to some absence of match fitness. Belotti's performance in the recent times hasn't been impressive either. Hence it is nice to see Dybala instead.
Roma have been the better side during the match so far. They got too close to scoring a goal with Spinazzola as well but Bono saved the shot really nicely. If Mourinho wins the title with Roma he will have a brand new achievement for himself - the first coach to win European titles with 3 different teams.

You are right, whoever makes a mistake suffers a loss. This is what happened in the United match, and everyone knows that. But today we don't know who will make a mistake because finals matches are always prepared for specially. That's what we will see today in the Roma versus Sevilla match. The majority here believes that Roma is the best because Mourinho can achieve miracles due to his long experience. However, we must take into consideration that Sevilla has strong attacking lines that can score goals.
A difficult game to watch, Sevilla are the champions of the Europa trophy and are eager to pull any gimmick in order to be proclaimed champions. Despite the fact that their opponents are aggressive and match their enthusiasm. Mistakes are unavoidable; one side will commit a punishable blunder, which will result in a goal. Sevilla continues to apply pressure and dominate the game. The referee, Anthony Taylor, has been impartial in the game, Jose Mourinho has extensive expertise in sports, and this is football, where the unbelievable happens all the time. AS Roma has already recorded two spectacular shots; let's see who scores first. 
The match started 20 minutes in but both clubs seemed to be very cautious considering it was also a bit tricky if they got it wrong.
There haven't been any really threatening chances so far but I think as time goes on it's still possible for both teams to be more intentional in this match because caution won't get them anywhere.
Sevilla seem to want to be more patient with the ball and Roma are still sticking with their defense and fertilizing their midfield players quite a lot.

Manchester United in the first game against Sevilla didn't do badly, i was just that Erik Ten Hag made couple of wrong decisions which I felt cost him that game. Although I know he must have learnt his lessons.
When leading the game with two goals ahead, Ten Hag should have introduced Fred and some players in midfied. Secondly, we lost Lisandro Martinez at the at we needed him most. He's absence immediately caused imbalance at the heart of the defense. Harry Maguire is a player I've decided not to bash no more, but he should kindly leave else he has plans to sit on the bench as a third choice or fourth choice players.
The second game, it was nothing bout luck, Sevilla was the better side and some errors from David De Gea and Harry Maguire nothing to say we hope and anticipating for a better season in the next two months.

Sevilla have very good experience and record in the Europa, they have a really experienced goalkeeper and a striker that can score. Roma are not playing with five defenders but just three, even though the midfielders will be dropping back deep, Sevilla can play wide and make the Roma defenders leave space behind for them to play into. The two teams will be playing with full intentions to win so they can get a qualification for the champions league. The stadium is full with supporters, this game will be certainly interesting.
The intention to win is obvious. Nobody plays a final just for the sake of playing it. If you play it, you want to win it. The first few minutes are interesting as both had their first corner and Roma had a first shot, but as expected Sevilla has the ball possession. Though Roma doesn't care about that.
Finally Mou decided to let Dybala play. I think this is the right decision and perhaps also the perfect moment to give him a chance to be part of the starting team. But when it is true that he has fitness problems, it could be a danger that he can't go the whole game, which can then turn into a disadvantage.
