The match at San Mamés saw an early turning point when Roma's Mats Hummels was sent off in the 11th minute for a harsh tackle. Bilbao capitalized on their numerical advantage, with Nico Williams opening the scoring in first-half stoppage time. Yuri Berchiche doubled the lead in the 68th minute, assisted by Alex Berenguer. Williams struck again in the 82nd minute, sealing a 3-0 win for the Spanish side.
Roma managed a late consolation goal through a penalty by Leandro Paredes in injury time, but it was insufficient to overturn the deficit. Bilbao's victory sets up a quarter-final clash against the winner of the Fenerbahce-Rangers tie.
