UEL | FC Twente 0-2 Lazio: Perfect start helped by early red card

94'

Pedro MOTM confirmed, his angled drive goes just wide.

90'

Into 5 minutes of stoppages. Tchaouna is still shouting at one of the Twente players. They’d best keep them apart once the final whistle goes.

89'

Something happened between Tchaouna and the Twente players, they are arguing. Baroni was about to take Pedro off, but then seeing what was happening, he took Tchaouna off instead.

Tchaouna was making monkey gestures as he went off, so it’s safe to assume that’s why he was so angry….

Tchaouna off, Gila on.

87'
FC Twente 0-2 Lazio: Gustav Isaksen!

Lazio can thank Van Rooij, who kept Vecino onside for the first goal and Dele-Bashiru onside for this one on the Pedro pass, he rolls it across and Isaksen is behind the line of the ball for a simple tap-in!

85'

Twente are still in this, mainly thanks to all the Lazio wasted chances. Free kick not cleared, drilled wide.

80'

Salah-Eddine off, Ltaief on

80'

Another wasted Lazio chance! A well-worked counter, but Tchaouna sweeps it first time wide of the far post!

77'

Dia and Gigot off, Isaksen and Patric on for Lazio.

NO PENALTY

It’s just not very clear… The footage is oddly fuzzy, which isn’t helping.

But the referee revokes the decision!

VAR!

Maybe too little contact…

74'
Penalty for Lazio!

Cross from the right, Castellanos just gets there a fraction of a second first before the defender Hilgers. Not entirely sure how much contact there was, but if there was any, that’s unlikely to get overturned on VAR.

72'

Vlap booked on the bench for dissent. He was substituted earlier. Twente getting very, very tense. But still in this and it’s fuelling them.

68'
That was weird

Referee stops play to book Van Rooj for a foul on Pedro, Lazio didn’t notice and kept playing, Castellanos put the ball in the net, but it won’t count and VAR cannot intervene.

67'

Twente corner cleared after a shot charged down, those two big Luca Pellegrini misses have given them hope of drawing level.

Remember, Twente drew both games so far 1-1 with Manchester United and Fenerbahce.

65'

Castellanos and Rovella on for Lazio, Vecino and Zaccagni off.

63'

It’s getting a bit tense. Luca Pellegrini wrestled by Van Wolfswinkel, who is booked, despite complaining he was the one being fouled. The crowd is hurling insults, including an old lady in the stands who would in the 1970s have thrown a chair at the wrestling.

61'

Steijn and Vlap off, Besselink and Eiting on for Twente.

59'

Lazio counter with Regeer still down hurt holding his elbow, it was the awkward fall more than a Pellegrini foul, and eventually Dele-Bashiru fires over the bar.

55'
Oh Pellegrini!

Another absolutely huge opportunity thrown away and Marco Baroni is livid!

Cross cleared to Luca Pellegrini, who blasts over the bar from close range again!

49'
Oh Lazio!

What a miss!

Oh DEAR! Vecino gets down the right, whips a cross to the back post, where Luca Pellegrini’s cushioned volley from close range clips the woodwork!

46'
2nd half kicks off: Twente 0-1 Lazio

Kuipers on, Lammers off for FC Twente.

Half-Time: FC Twente 0-1 Lazio

Pedro with the only goal, but FC Twente down to 10 men from the 11th minute for Unnerstall rushing out to clatter Boulaye Dia.
