The historic first-ever UECL final was decided by Nikolo Zaniolo\u2019s first-half goal on a night Mourinho became the first-ever coach to win all UEFA club competition trophies.<\/p>\n
The 59-year-old Portuguese coach, who maintained his winning record in European finals, has previously won the UEFA Champions League and Europa League titles.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UECL title is also Roma\u2019s first-ever major European title in 50 years.<\/p>\n
Cyriel Dessers, Super Eagles of Nigeria forward, played all 90 minutes but could not find the back of the net for his Dutch club.<\/p>
Following a cagey start to the encounter, Roma took the lead in the 32nd minute through Zaniolo, as the Italian attacker reacted first to a Gianluca Mancini\u2019s cross which was misjudged by a Feyenoord defender before flicking it beyond the goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n
Feyenoord came out attacking at the start of the second half, hitting the bar twice in quick succession with Rui Patricio, Roma goalkeeper, denying the Rotterdam club on several occasions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Roma held on in the latter stages to secure their first trophy in 14 years since winning the Coppa Italia in 2008.<\/p>\n
