It's a clever ball over the top from Edson Alvarez and Mohammed Kudus coolly fires it past goalkeeper Noah Atubolu from close range.
He's in great form at the moment and that's a big goal for West Ham.

Brighton 0-0 Marseille
Simon Adingra one of the many Brighton players in recent times that it's funny to think you'd never heard of a few months earlier.

Brighton 0-0 Marseille
First chance for Brighton as a slick move ends up at Simon Adingra's feet. The youngster cuts in and has a shot but it's saved by Pau Lopez.

West Ham 0-0 Freiburg
Ooof! I tell you what, this is a cracking effort.
Lucas Paqueta smashes it off the crossbar from just inside the box. One touch, bang. Unlucky not to score.
Mohammed Kudus with some good work in the build-up.

Facundo Buonanotte catches Amine Harit and Marseille have a free-kick. Harit is hobbling a bit.

West Ham 0-0 Freiburg
Mohammed Kudus clears it at the back for West Ham and Jarrod Bowen is sent on his way down the left.
But he's not got many options and has to turn back to retain possession.

West Ham 0-0 Freiburg
It's worth noting that Freiburg need to win tonight to go through as group winners.
West Ham just need to avoid defeat.

The permutations are fairly straightforward. If Brighton win it's the last 16. If they don't, it's the play-off round.
