The recent UEFA Europa League match at Stadio Olimpico saw a head-to-head battle between AS Roma and Real Sociedad, where Roma emerged victorious 2-0. Roma's power-packed performance was demonstrated with the stark distinction in the goals scored, with Stephan El Shaarawy and Marash Kumbulla being the goal contributors.

The goals were scored timely, with El Shaarawy finding the back of the net as early as in the 15th minute of the first half, assisted by Tammy Abraham. The second goal was netted in the 87th minute of the second half by Kumbulla, assisted by Paulo Dybala, further consolidating their lead over Real Sociedad.

However, the successful conversion rate paints only half the picture as Roma's overall shooting accuracy needs improvement. The home team shot at goal 3 times, with a significant 7 shots missing the target. This inefficiency in accurately shooting could be detrimental in closely contested fixtures and is an area that needs attention.

The discipline of the away team, Real Sociedad, is a concern, as they accumulated a total of 5 yellow cards. The accumulation of these bookings points towards the extreme defensive pressure they were under. Furthermore, Real Sociedad committed a considerable amount of fouls (18) which further highlights their struggle to maintain decorum and composure in the high-pressure Europa league match.

On the other hand, AS Roma, despite being the more dominant team, found themselves offside 5 times during the encounter. This points towards a tendency to break away prematurely and could reflect on their anticipation and communication during the attacking plays.

When it comes to possession-based stats, despite the lack of goals, it was Real Sociedad who had a slight edge in corner kicks won with 5, compared to Roma's three.

Overall, the defining factors in Roma's victory seemed to be efficient conversion of opportunities into goals, first-half dominance and the opposition's lack of discipline. Whereas, both teams need to work on their accuracy, shot on target ratio, and avoiding being caught offside in the future encounters. These factors if controlled could make a significant impact on match outcomes.
