    AZ Alkmaar 0-0 West Ham (Agg: 1-2)

    The best chance of the match!

    AZ are starting to become more dangerous. Vangelis Pavlidis almost flicks it into the far corner but it trickles across the goalline.

    It's kept in on the far side and Yukinari Sugawara is teed up. His shot is deflected nervously behind for a corner.

    Lucas Paqueta has really impressed me tonight. He looks like the player that West Ham fans wanted.

    I don't think he has shown enough of that quality in his time here but you can see what a quality player he is.

    He just needs to finish off his good work with a final pass or shot.

    AZ Alkmaar 0-0 West Ham (Agg: 1-2)

    Jordy Clasie lobs it into Jesper Karlsson, he pokes it back into the six-yard area, beating Kurt Zouma to the ball, and it's fumbled hastily out for a corner.

    But the whistle has gone - the ball went out of play before Karlsson pulled it back.

    We have a goal in Switzerland and it's gone to Fiorentina. They go 1-0 up on the night through Nicolas Gonzalez after 35 minutes.

    It means the tie is now level at 2-2 on aggregate.

    AZ are pretty on the eye but they have no punch to them. Alphonse Areola hasn't had a save to make. They're shooting from 30 yards out.

    You don't want them to have that much possession at times but sometimes away from home in Europe you have to cede that.

    West Ham look dangerous on the counter attack and if they get more ball in the final third, they can really hurt this team.

    AZ Alkmaar 0-0 West Ham (Agg: 1-2)

    Lucas Paqueta overruns it a little and is then clattered into by Jordy Clasie. West Ham want a free-kick but they don't get one.

    AZ Alkmaar 0-0 West Ham (Agg: 1-2)

    Michail Antonio plays a reverse pass into Tomas Soucek. He manages to keep it in play on the byline and pulls it back fiercely. Mathew Ryan reacts and does well to hold onto it with Antonio waiting to pounce on the rebound.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 18 May 2023

    Sevilla 0-0 Juventus (Agg: 1-1)

    Moise Kean almost puts Juventus ahead!

    The former Everton man is through on goal down the right channel and his effort hits the base of the far post and bounces away.

    Does Yassine Bounou get a touch on it? Possibly. Great save if so.

    Tijjani Reijnders drills a dangerous shot in from 25 yards out. Kurt Zouma blocks it but there's a flag up for offside anyway.

    I think David Moyes will be delighted so far, the only disappointment is that they haven't scored.

    They look comfortable in defence, well marshalled by the two centre-backs, Nayef Aguerd and Kurt Zouma. Declan Rice is having a very good game in there, as is Lucas Paqueta.

    West Ham are letting AZ have the ball in areas where they can't hurt them at the minute.

    Jordy Clasie's long-range effort is blocked. AZ seeing lots of the ball again but West Ham still look really comfortable.

    It's not been a blockbuster but in the words of David Moyes, they "don't need to be daft".

    Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis, Nielsen's Gracenote:

    "After winning the first leg 2-1, our Euro Club Index estimates that West Ham United have a 72% chance of reaching the UEFA Europa Conference League final."

    Based on the evidence so far, are you feeling confident Hammers fans?

    Bayer Leverkusen 0-0 Roma (Agg: 0-1)

    It is all Leverkusen in Germany.

    Kerem Demirbay has seen another effort saved before a Sardar Azmoun header goes wide.

    They want a corner but the referee gives a goal kick.

    West Ham are definitely the more dangerous team here.

    Said Benrahma has space in the middle but fires it way over the bar.

    I thought Lucas Paqueta was going to hit it with his right foot because it opened up for him and then he checked back on to his left.

    He hit a beautiful curling shot, Mat Ryan is beaten but it just hits the outside of the post.

    Sevilla 0-0 Juventus (Agg: 1-1)

    Angel di Maria is thread through by Adrien Rabiot but he gets his chip all wrong and it goes well wide of the target.

    Wasteful.

    Nothing of note to report in Basel. It's still goalless there. Goalless pretty much everywhere...

    Brilliant from Michail Antonio as he uses his body to hold the ball up, spin and break down the left. It comes to Lucas Paqueta and he curls it beautifully on to the outside of the far post!

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:25 British Summer Time 18 May 2023

    Sevilla 0-0 Juventus (Agg: 1-1)

    BIG from Wojciech Szczesny.

    The Poland keeper arguably kept Juventus in the tie in the first leg and he's doing it again.

    A cross from the right is met by the head of Lucas Ocampos. He is well in front of the near post but he does really well to direct it and Szczesny has to claw it back from off the line.

    Half the ball is in, but half the ball is on the line. Big save.

    AZ Alkmaar 0-0 West Ham (Agg: 1-2)

    Milos Kerkez tackles Jarrod Bowen and the West Ham forward is overeager to win it back, fouling him in the process.

    AZ try to take the free-kick quickly but it's pulled back by the referee.
