  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Austria forward Martin Pusic is on for Petter Andersson, for Midtjylland. Andersson's looked dangerous.

    Ten minutes left for Southampton to find a goal.

    Let's not forget Sadio Mane is on the bench tonight as well. 

    Throw him on! Or has interest from Manchester United turned his head? Ronald Koeman has got one change still up his sleeve. 

    Saving it for extra time would be very optimistic.

    Will Shane Long's pace swing it in the last 15? Not if Southampton continue to pump the ball up to the big man it won't...  

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 76 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    A change up top and Shane Long is on for Jay Rodriguez - he's still feeling his way back from that terrible injury.

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    This time Graziano Pelle does rise highest to reach the cross but for some reason looks to head it down to Jay Rodriguez instead! 

    Why not go for goal there?! He was on the edge of the six-yard box! Better stuff from Saints though...

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Twenty minutes and counting then. One goal and we're headed for extra-time and pens. 

    Steven Davis looks for Graziano Pelle on the cross, headed clear, Matt Targett does the same, headed clear. 

    Brilliant defending from the home side. Pelle's no slouch in the air but he's been dominated this second half. 

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 70 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Rilwan Hassan is pretty much through on goal but here's Matt Targett with a crunching challenge to take him out. 

    Targett knew exactly what he was doing here - he would have been the last man had it not been for the fact that Cuco Martina is absolutely rapid.

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Jamie Quainton : Getting a bit tiring watching us just play into Pelle all the time. Hoping Saints will put long and mane on for more creativity.

    JavelBleach : So would #Midtjylland, external survive in the English PL? How many other clubs you can't spell would survive too?

    Joel Ejike Oblates : Saints went from a team of good home grown players to mediocre classed team. They're playing tonight's game without a bearing.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 69 mins

    Tim Sparv cuts down Jay Rodriguez just as he's reaching full stride and is booked.

    It was like a cheetah taking out a gazelle. 

    Rilwan Hassan is on for Pione Sisto - the winger must be spend. 

  10. Postpublished at 66 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    More whistles and jeers from the home side now - they think Cuco Martina has passed the ball back to the 'keeper but the replay shows it's a horrific piece of ball control.

    Martina's then turned inside and out by Pione Sisto but the cross is wayward - there were real options the box as well. 2-0 and Saints are out of this. 

  11. Postpublished at 65 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Oriol Romeu is a lucky boy indeed. Jakob Poulsen is felled on the edge of the box (or was it inside?) but the referee plays on - much to the frustration of the home fans.

    Graziano Pelle pops up again but this time in his own box, to head clear from a free-kick. 

    Not much momentum about their play at all here, Southampton. Midtjylland are slowing things up and Ronald Koeman's side have got a lot of work to do.

  12. Postpublished at 62 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Another James Ward-Prowse shot from distance is blocked. At least it wasn't floated into the mixer? 

    It could well be the driving rain, but Ronald Koeman really is looking sour down on the touchline. 

    Half an hour to save their European campaign.

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Former Southampton manager Dave Merrington on BBC Radio Solent: "We're not asking enough questions of this team. Taking off the third centre-half would have been my decision when we went 1-0 down.

    "With Tadic on Koeman has gone with a four and two up the front and he has made an impact straight away."

  14. Postpublished at 58 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Dusan Tadic is straight into it as well, he nicks the ball deep in the Midtjylland half, cuts inside and drives one towards goal. 

    It's wide and getting wider though. But what an entrance that would have been!

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 57 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Now this is bold. Here comes Dusan Tadic on for Steven Caulker. Are Ronald Koeman's side going back to 4-2-3-1?

    Either way, Southampton need Tadic to show his best here. We've seen him change games in the past.

  16. Postpublished at 54 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Pione Sisto looks a tidy player. Here he is bringing the ball down perfectly and jinking off away from Oriol Romeu and into space. 

    Meanwhile, the Koeman brothers are looking pretty grim on the bench. 

    Changes already? There's activity down there...

  17. Postpublished at 52 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Hands on hips, what is Graziano Pelle thinking? 

    The ball is offered up to him again - deep from Cuco Martina - but there's too many men around him, he's crowded out. Again. 

    Really don't get why Southampton are playing like this. Surely they've strengths elsewhere? Like passing the ball?

  19. CLOSE!published at 48 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    Hang on Morten Rasmussen, you can't have Duncan on your back if you're going to miss a header like that. 

    Brilliant delivery from the free-kick but Rasmussen's header is less Duncan Ferguson and more tame and wide. A let off for Southampton though - he should have done much better with that. 

  20. Postpublished at 47 mins

    Midtjylland 1-0 Southampton

    It's still all about Graziano Pelle for Southampton. They look for him with another long ball but the ref blows up - either a foul because the Italian handled it or because he climbed all over his marker.
