A corner kick from Pedro Porro… and a header from Cristian Romero, a free header! It’s just wide.
Wow. What a chance. That would have been enormous.

...for taking down Destiny Udogie as he dashed down the left flank. Correct call. Cynical challenge to disrupt Tottenham’s rhythm.
This match is so finely poised.

After a few minutes of building pressure by the hosts, Brennan Johnson concedes a corner kick… it’s taken short, and then eventually the ball is crossed in, but Spurs clear the danger. Not for long, though - as they look to spring forward on the counter-attack, Kulusevski gives away a free kick in a dangerous position, about 10–15 metres out from the edge of the penalty box...
Chaibi takes it… and it whistles just wide of the left post!

...here we go.
Massive half to come.
Eintracht Frankfurt 0-1 (1-2) Tottenham Hotspur, 45 minutes
Manchester United are 2-0 up against Olympique Lyonnais, with a 4-2 lead on aggregate...
Athletic Bilbao are 1-0 in front against Rangers, the first leg there was a 0-0 draw...
And Lazio needs one more goal to draw level in their tie with Bodo/Glimt after last week’s 2-0 defeat. It’s currently 1-0 to the home side in Rome. The winner of that tie will face the winner out of Spurs and Frankfurt.
Frankfurt is pushing for an equaliser and they’ve got a chance here after Bergvall gives away a corner… but Rodrigo Bentancur heads it away to safety. Only one more minute of added time for Tottenham to see out.
Brennan Johnson now sees a yellow card after a challenge on Brown, and the home side got really agitated about that… the referee also pulls out a red card for one of Frankfurt’s coaches, too! What about this?!
Anyway, there’s the whistle… Spurs are halfway there, thanks to Dominic Solanke’s penalty goal.
