    If anyone knows the ups and downs of life at West Ham United, it's Mark Noble.

    "You have to take the rough with the smooth at West Ham - it has always been that way," Noble told BBC Sport earlier this week.

    "That is why we all love the club. Sometimes it breaks your heart, it really does. But there are times it brings you tears of joy."

    Apt words with West Ham 1-0 down at half-time.

    In all fairness I feel as though Alkmaar grew in belief as the game went on and they got the goal.

    I think it may have been a little against the run of play, but West Ham now have work to do in this second half.

    I've seen those decisions given but I think it would have been soft to rule the goal out [for the push on Paqueta].

    Up the other end and West Ham have a chance but Said Benrahma heads the ball straight at AZ keeper Matt Ryan.

    West Ham 0-1 AZ Alkmaar

    Glenn Murray
    Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    A lot of frustration here for the West Ham players, they are not happy, and rightfully so.

    The decisions the referee is making are not good enough at this level.

    But in all fairness, when Alkmaar do get forward, it's a brilliant strike.

    Again around the 18-yard box, this time they decide to take the shot instead. The ball just skips off the surface and past the West Ham stopper Areola into the net.

    There was a quick VAR check for a push on Lucas Paqueta in the build-up but the goal stands.

    GOAL - West Ham 0-1 AZ Alkmaarpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Tijani Reijnders

    Some finish!

    AZ Alkmaar build a counter with the ball eventually falling to Tijani Reijnders. He's 35 yards out but goes for it, blasting the ball from range and through the hands of Alphonse Areola, into the bottom corner.

    The West Ham keeper should have done better.

    Just for a second I thought Jarod Bowen was about to smash a volley into the top corner from the edge of the box. Instead, the ball doesn't sit for him and he kicks the air.

    Juventus 0-1 Sevilla

    Sevilla are definitely creating the better chances in Turin.

    A cross from the right is laid off for Ivan Rakitic and his effort is creeping in under the bar. Wojciech Szczesny has to quickly readjust because of the swerve on the striker and claw over the bar.

    The corner is easily cleared by Juventus though.

    Back to the present day and AZ continue to knock the ball around before a Jens Odgaard shot from range is easily saved.

    Mike: I'm genuinely surprised how excited WHU fans are for this match. Remember the Inter-ToTo Cup ? Well this is that very same tournament, just renamed. Sorry.

    Cresswell takes the free-kick and Michail Antonio meets it. His powerful header though is blocked by a wall of blue defenders.
