Roma eliminated

Roma failed to reach the Champions League group stage after having two men sent off in a 3-0 defeat at home to Porto in the second leg of their football playoff yesterday. Roma had drawn the first leg 1-1 after Thomas Vermaelen was sent off and they were again made to pay for poor discipline as Daniele De Rossi was dismissed in the 39th minute and Emerson Palmieri followed him five minutes after halftime.
