Ozer the hero for Lille after Roma penalty drama
After a hand ball was deemed to have been committed by Lille defender Mandi, new substitute Artem Dovbyk stepped up to take the penalty, with Ozer making a huge save.
The referee then, in consultation with the VAR, deemed encroachment to have been committed and the penatly was retaken.
Dovbyk stepped up again, only for Ozer to save again and the referee to order another retake.
This time, Roma switched takers. Matias Soule stepped up this time but Ozer made a legitimate save and Roma were denied.
