AS Roma on Friday said that, post-match, the match officials admitted that the decision of awarding a penalty to Monchengladbach was a mistake.
During their Europa League match on Thursday, AS Roma gained a one-goal lead after Nicolo Zaniolo scored in the 32nd minute of the match.
However, Monchengladbach was awarded with a penalty in the 90+5th minute due to which the team was able to level the scores and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
AS Roma took to Twitter and wrote: "#ASRoma's management spoke to the match officials after the game and they admitted that the decision to award the penalty was a mistake. We respect and thank them for their genuine honesty and now we focus on the next game. #ForzaRoma."
AS Roma will now compete against Milan in Serie A on October 27.
