GOAL! Galatasaray 0-1 Alkmaar (agg: 1-5; Makuma 42)

Welcome to heaven. AZ Alkmaar are cruising into the last 16 of the Europa League, having done a helluva number on one of the tournament favourties. After a superb run from Ernest Poku, Gabriel Sara’s attempted clearance hit Seiya Maikuma and ricocheted into the net.

GOAL! Roma 2-1 Porto (agg: 3-2; Dybala 39)

Roma’s magic man has done it again! Paulo Dybala found a fraction of space on the right side of the area, no more than that, and reversed an early shot that beat Diogo Costa at the near post! That’s another superb finish – not just the strike but the element of surprise. Diogo Costa started to put his weight on his right foot, expecting a shot towards the far corner, and that meant he couldn’t change direction quickly enough.

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! 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.
