AS Roma earned a 1-1 draw at Fiorentina in the first-leg of their Europa League tie.

Josip Ilicic's opener was pegged back by Roma midfielder Serydou Keita.

"We wanted to win, but it's not over yet and anything can happen over the next 90 minutes," Ilicic told Mediaset Premium.

"We are confident and are going to the Stadio Olimpico looking for a win. Once again today we proved that we are a strong team."

The Viola need to score at least one, as on the away goals rule Roma would qualify with the current result.

"I am always at the disposal of the Coach and very happy that I decided to stay in January."
