Nsame's strike not enough as Young Boys lose to AS Roma

Jean-Pierre Nsame scored Young Boys' only goal in their 2-1 defeat to AS Roma in Thursday's Europa League encounter.

The 27-year-old striker stepped forward to put the hosts ahead from the spot in the 14th minute after Fabian Rieder was fouled in the penalty area.

The strike was Nsame’s third goal in the European tournament this season after he fired them into the group stage with his brace in their 3-0 win over Albanian club Tirana on October 1.

The Cameroon international's opener was not enough for the Swiss champions to secure maximum points as Roma staged a dramatic comeback after the interval to overturn the result.
