Iheanacho, Lookman in action as Leicester fall short in UECL semifinals against Roma

Kelechi Iheanacho and Ademola Lookman fired blacks in Leicester City's ouster from the UEFA Conference League semifinals on Thursday night after a 1-0 defeat to AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Lookman, who got Leicester’s equaliser in the first leg struggled to spark in Rome and was rightfully hauled off at half time for Daniel Amartey as Brendan Rodgers regrouped his troops.

Iheanacho replaced Harvey Barnes at the beginning of the second 45 minutes but could not help draw Leicester back in the game.

The first leg ended 1-1 but onetime Nigeria Football Federation target Tammy Abraham put the Giallorossi ahead barely elebvem minutes into the game with a tidy finish at the near post.

Abraham has thus scored 25 goals in his first season in Italy, as he offered Premier League clubs a reminder of his quality ahead of the summer transfer window.

Roma held forth for 83 minutes and kept Leicester at bay in a game that struggled to produce many moments of brilliance.

Roma have qualified for a European final in their first season under Jose Mourinho and for the first time in 31 years. The Giallorossi will face Feyenoord in the final of the competition after the Rotterdammers held Marseille to a draw at the Stade De Velodrome.
