(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 1 - Jose Mourinho's AS Roma suffered heartbreak in the Europa League final in Budapest on Wednesday when they lost 4-1 on penalties to Sevilla after a 1-1 draw.
    Roma made the brighter start and Argentina forward Paulo Dybala deservedly put them in front with a coolly taken goal in the 35th minute.
    The Spanish side came back strongly at the end of the first half and the start of the second and they equalized with a pinch of luck, with Gianluca Mancini turning the ball into his own net as he tried to cut out a cross.
    There were no more goals in regulation or extra time and the game went to a shoot-out.
    Mancini and Roger Ibanez missed their penalties and Gonzalo Montiel scored the decisive spot kick for Sevilla at the second attempt - Roma's Rui Patrizio's saved the first attempt but the referee ordered it be retaken because the goalkeeper moved too early. (ANSA).
