After going off with a knee injury in the first leg of Roma's Europa League knockout round play-off with Porto, there were fears Paulo Dybala would miss tonight's clash at the Stadio Olimpico. However, he was fit to play, and fit to complete a quickfire turnaround.

Paulo Dybala struck twice in four minutes as Roma beat Porto 3-2 to reach the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday. Dybala returned from a knee injury sustained in the first-leg 1-1 draw a week ago in Portugal, and Roma advanced on a 4-3 aggregate score.

AS Roma secured their place in the Europa League last 16 with a 3-2 home win over 10-man Porto on Thursday thanks to a Paulo Dybala double, advancing 4-3 on aggregate. The teams drew 1-1 in the first leg in Porto and it was the visitors who took the lead in the 27th minute with an overhead kick from Samu Aghehowa.
