GOAL! Roma 1-1 Porto (agg: 2-2; Dybala 35)

Paulo Dybala scores a beautiful equaliser for Roma! When he went off injured in the first leg it looked like he might out for while; Porto will wish that was the case.

Dybala picked the ball up 25 yards from goal, played a smooth one-two with
Eldor Shomurodov and scurried into the area. He held off a challenge, taking gentle touches all the while to ensure the ball didn’t get away from him, and then flicked a nonchalant finish over Diogo Costa with his left foot. I can hear Barry Davies in the mind’s ear: “Lovely goal! Lovely goal!”

GOAL! FCSB 1-0 PAOK (agg: 3-1; Cisotti 30)

FCSB have doubled their aggregate lead in Bucharest. It was a nice team goal, finished efficiently by the new signing Juri Cisotti.

GOAL! Roma 0-1 Porto (agg: 1-2; Samu 27)

Samu Aghehowa has put Porto ahead with a stunning goal! It stemmed initially from a wretched pass by the Roma keeper Mile Svilar that was intercepted on the edge of the area. He made partial amends with a good save, then a shot was blocked and Roma seemed to have got away with it. But then Samu flicked the ball up and hooked an overhead kick high into the net. That’s a belting goal.

GOAL! Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Twente (agg: 1-3; Sjovold own goal 26)

The first goal of the evening has been scored in Norway. Bodo/Glimt have been completely on top but it’s Twente who have taken the lead through an unfortunate own-goal. A corner from the right bounced up awkwardly, hit the unsighted Fredrik Sjovold on the head and flew into the net.

Conference League: Shamrock Rovers v Molde (8pm; agg: 1-0)

Shamrock Rovers have the chance to become the first Irish team to reach the last 16 of a European competition since Dundalk in 1979-80. To those who have been following Irish football in the last few years, it’s no great surprise.
