GOAL! Anderlecht 2-1 Fenerbahce (agg 2-4; Vazquez 55)
Luis Vazquez’s second goal has given Anderlecht – who were 4-0 down on aggregate – an outside chance of a miracle. There’s a fair way to go in that game as well.
Once upon a time Jose Mourinho’ steam hardly ever lost a one-goal lead. Surely they’re not going to lose a four-goal lead.
GOAL! Real Sociedad 4-2 Midtjylland (agg 6-3, Oyarzabal 73 pen)
Midtjylland have had a man sent off as well, so this tie is surely over.
69 min: Shamrock Rovers 0-1 Molde (agg: 1-1) Michael Noonan is bundled over just outside the area by Isak Amundsen, who is booked. Shamrock Rovers are having an excellent spell, possibly their best of the match. Before that Molde looked the likelier winners; now I haven’t a clue.

54 min: Shamrock Rovers 0-1 Molde (agg: 1-1) It’s tight and tense in Dublin. Molde have had the better chances but Shamrock Rovers will argue they should have had a penalty in the first half. It could be next-goal-wins.
Half time: Anderlecht 1-1 Fenerbahce (agg: 1-4) Fenerbahce are heading for the last 16, but that’s not the story. We’re still trying to verify reports about the cause of the fight that led to the game being suspended. TNT Sports say there were “as yet unspecified security issues”.
“It feels like there were a pleasing number of bumbling farcical goals in the last 45 minutes,” says Adam Berry. “Fenerbahce, Anderlecht, Sociedad, Molde – I think La Real’s is my favourite so far for the sheer exasperation of the goalie as the defender tumbled over, but there’s been strong competition. Here’s hoping for another helping of haplessness in the second halves!”

GOAL! Real Sociedad 3-2 (agg: 5-3; Sucic 45+2)
Luka Sucic’s second goal gives Sociedad a bit of a cushion. It’s harsh on Jonas Lossl, who had just made a couple of outstanding saves.
24 min: Anderlecht 1-1 Fenerbahce (agg; 1-4) Incidentally, Anderlecht’s equaliser was comedy goal, worth trying to find online.
As I type, En-Nesyri has been booked for the slighest head-on-head contact with the goalkeeper, who went down pathetically.
19 min: Anderlecht 1-1 Fenerbahce The match was suspended because a fight broke out between the two sets of supporters. There are some unpleasant suggestions as to what started the fight; it’s not ours to speculate but we’ll report what happened as soon as it’s verified.
GOALS! Plzen 3-0 Ferencvaros (agg: 3-1; Duronsinmi 38)
Anderlecht 1-1 Fenerbahce (Vazquez 19)

A cracking finish from Dario Osorio has given Midtjylland real hope in Spain.
GOAL! Plzen 2-0 Ferencvaros (agg: 2-1; Sulc 35)
Robbie Keane’s team are in bother. They lost possession just outside their own area, and eventually Matej Vydra’s deft through pass was finished emphatically by Pavel Sulc.

29 min: Shamrock Rovers 0-1 Molde (agg: 1-1) Aaron McEneff has a shot cleared off the line – but Shamrock want a penalty because he was tripped by the keeper after getting his shot away. VAR says no.
GOAL! Ajax 0-2 Union SG (agg: 2-2; David 27)
A lovely, cool penalty from Promise David brings Union SG level on aggregate – and they have a man advantage.
GOAL! Plzen 1-0 Ferencvaros (agg: 1-1; Durosinmi 28)
All square in this one.
RED CARD AND A PENALTY TO UNION SG!
25 min: Ajax 0-1 Union SG Davy Klaassen makes an outstanding, instinctive save. The trouble is he’s not the goalkeeper, so it’s a clear penalty and red card. Ajax are in all sorts.
GOALS! Real Sociedad 2-1 Midtjylland (agg: 4-2; Sucic 18, Buksa 24 pen)
Adam Buksa’s penalty gives Midtjylland a bit of hope in Spain, though Sociedad were well on top until that point.
Anderlecht v Fenerbahce is about to resume. Apparently there was a “security issue”, so it wasn’t necessarily crowd trouble as originally suggested.
Full time: Heidenheim 1-3 FC Copenhagen (agg: 3-4)
A marvellous win for FC Copenhagen, who will play either Chelsea or Vitoria SC in the next round.
Full time: Bodo/Glimt 5-2 Twente (agg: 6-4)
Bodo/Glimt go through after a ding-dong thriller in Norway. They will play Olympiacos or Rangers in the last 16.
NO GOAL! Ajax 0-1 Union SG
Boufal was offside so, although the ball hit two Ajax players before reaching him, the goal has been disallowed.
GOAL! Ajax 0-2 Union SG (agg: 2-2; Boufal 19)
I say! Union SG are level in the tie after scoring twice in four minutes. Sofiane Boufal took advantage of some wretched defending to score.
GOAL! Ajax 0-1 Union SG (agg: 2-1; Mac Allister 16)
There could be a twist in Amsterdam. Kevin Mac Allister, brother of Alexis, has given Union SG the lead on the night with a cracking header. It was extremely tight for offside but the semi-automated system gave Mac Allister the all-clear.
Anderlect v Fenerbahce suspended
9 min: Anderlecht 0-1 Fenerbahce (agg: 0-4) The players have left the field, apparently because of trouble in the stands.
GOAL! Bodo/Glimt 5-2 Twente (agg: 6-4; Verschueren og 115)
A sensational run from Fredrik Bjorkan leads to an own goal from Arno Verschueren. Bodo/Glimt are surely heading through.
GOAL! Shamrock Rovers 0-1 Molde (agg: 1-1; Eikrem 10)
Magnus Wolff Eikrem punishes a goalkeeping error to bring Molde level on aggregate. Until that point Molde had only 13 per cent of the possession – but now they’re ahead on the night.
GOAL! Bodo/Glimt 4-2 Twente (agg: 5-4; Fet 111)
Bodo/Glimt lead again! A corner was headed down to the substitute Sondre Fet, who forced a shot on the turn past the goalkeeper. It was booted clear by Steijn but the ball had just crossed the line.
GOAL! Real Sociedad 1-0 FC Midtjylland (agg: 3-1; Mendez 5)
A farcical goal, one for the books. Mads Bech Sorensen and the keeper Jonas Lossl leave the ball to each other, then Sorensen slips over in the comedy style. Brais Mendez accepts the gift, passing the ball almost sheepishly into an empty net.
GOAL! Anderlecht 0-1 Fenerbahce (En-Nesyri 4; agg 0-4)
A horrible mistake from Lucas Boel Hey allows Youssef En-Nesyri to put Fenerbahce ahead in Anderlecht. They’re strolling into the last 16.
Half time in extra time: Bodo/Glimt 3-2 FC Twente (agg: 4-4)
“In a fact I only looked up because I have had the good fortune to see Roma play in the Stadio Olimpico back in 2016, Roma and Lazio have played 184 official games and none of them have been in European competition,” notes Matt Burtz. “Talk about a Roman holiday should they be matched up in the next round! (I’ll see myself out.)”
Peep peep! The 8pm games are under way.
