Legia haven't exactly upped the ante following the restart. Linfield have been extremely disciplined and are keeping their shape remarkably well.

Blues boss David Healy has plenty of attacking options on the bench as we approach the hour mark.

Kirk Millar is the second player to go into the referee's notebook following a late challenge on Mladenovic.

Hery works the ball to Quinn on the left-hand side but his delivery - which is usually pinpoint - disappoints on this occasion.

The hosts are straight onto the front foot as Boyle - who coped well during the first half - heads another cross away.

Legia pick up possession immediately, though, and win a corner as Stafford pokes the ball behind.

Off we go again.

Maciej Rosolek comes on to replace Slisz in the only change at the break.

Linfield aren't the only Irish Premiership side in European action this week, of course.

BBC Sport NI will have live coverage of two games on Thursday as Irish Cup winners Glentoran take on HB Torshavn and Coleraine host La Fiorita.

The referee brings an end to the first 45 minutes.

It's still goalless and Linfield will be reasonably content with their work so far.

Another tough 45 minutes to come.

Hery picks up a yellow card after his flailing arm catches Luquinhas.

Having won the ball back, Linfield now must defend a set-piece in a dangerous position.

Mulgrew is perfectly placed, however, to clear the danger.

Linfield's best chance of the game falls to Stafford!

The centre-back gets on the end of Millar's free-kick but Boruc is equal to his glancing header.

Corner to Linfield - nothing comes of it.

Pekhart rises to meet another cross but this time it sails over the bar.

Pekhart gets his best glimpse at goal but his header is confidently plucked out of the air by Johns.

That was an example of Pekhart's aerial prowess, though. The Legia No.9 had been reasonably quiet up to that point.

Mladenovic has a pop from distance. Easy enough for Johns.

Luquinhas pounces on a poor pass from Hery but is stopped brilliantly by Stafford, who times his sliding challenge to perfection on the edge of the box.

Lavery intercepts a sloppy pass and drives forward but his shot is weak and dribbles well wide. Linfield are starting to look more comfortable on the ball, however, and will feel encouraged by how little Johns has had to do in the opening 28 minutes.

Legia haven't been troubled in defence but Linfield are holding their own at the back. The Blues are keeping their shape well. The longer this goes on, Legia's frustration will only grow.
