54'
HOME SIDE EARN A CORNER
Chiquinho whips in the corner, but far too much air under the delivery as Terracciano comes off his line to collect with some relish.
52'
BUT THE OLYMPIACOS PLAYER IS BACK ON
Looked like he was in a spot of bother with concussion, but suddenly insists he can continue and Retsos returns to the heart of the defence.
51'
FIORENTINA FANS IN FULL VOICE
Have not stopped singing this evening as they attempt to inspire their club to a first European trophy in 63 years. Olympiacos look like they are going to be forced to make a change with Retsos in some trouble.

A CLASH OF HEADS HALTS THE MATCH
That looked a bit nasty. As it always does. Medical treatment required for Retsos and Belotti who were not holding back attacking the loose ball.
47'
NO PRESSURE ON EL KAABI
Can he find an historic 11th goal of this competition in the second period?

OFF WE GO THEN FOR THE SECOND HALF!
One goal might well win this final you suspect. Little between the two sides. Fiorentina have been slightly more impressive in attack, but no finish so far.

AND THERE IS THE HALF-TIME WHISTLE!
It is all square at the break in Athens as Tzolakis comes off his line to make a timely clearance. That will do us for the first half in this very even UEFA Europa Conference League final.
43'
LOOKS LIKE 0-0 AT THE BREAK
No lack of effort in the final, but missing that spot of magic to unearth the first goal in the final third. Game began well, but has lost its way ever so slightly.

AND ANOTHER BOOKING IS ON THE GO

A CLASH INVOLVING KEEPER AND STRIKER
Ayoub El Kaabi collides with Fiorentina keeper Terracciano as he raced from his line to clear ahead of the Olympiacos forward. No messing about there to get the ball away. Bit of treatment needed before we continue.
37'
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR FIORENTINA
Nicolás González mishits a volley well over the bar after Kouamé's header back across goal was only parried out by Tzolakis. Another decent chance comes and goes.
35'
ATMOSPHERE IS BETTER THAN THE GAME
So, so narrow in the middle of pitch with so many bodies trying to close down space. Nicolás González throws over a hopeful ball that flies straight out of play on the other wing to illustrate the toils of elite football.
33'
EL KAABI WAITING FOR HIS FARE
Ayoub El Kaabi has only had three touches so far tonight. Can't do nothing in football when you are starved of the ball. Fiorentina have clearly done their homework.
31'
EXCELLENT PIECE OF GOALKEEPING
Konstantinos Tzolakis showing the value of a sweeper keeper as he bounds off his line at pace to win the ball from Christian Kouamé. Smart piece of keeping by the Olympiacos man.
29'
NOTHING DOING FROM THE HOME ICON
Ayoub El Kaabi tries to turn in the visiting area after taking the ball in close, but Nikola Milenkovic produces an excellent tackle to nudge it away from the Olympiacos forward.

AND THERE IS THE FIRST BOOKING
Podence sees his name taken for a late tackle on Dodô and he has the honour of a yellow card.

A BIT OF FOUL PLAY, BUT NO BOOKING
Perhaps a tad fortunate as Panagiotis Retsos is late with a poorly timed challenge on Kouamé, but referee Artur Soares Dias is happy to give him a quick word in the ear.
23'
FIRST GOAL COULD BE CRUCIAL HERE
And it is quite clear these teams fancy doing some damage in the final third. Podence with a header at the near post from the corner. Clever finish, but Terracciano was equal to the task in making the stop.
21'
FIORENTINA CONTINUE ON THE ATTACK
This time Tzolakis is quickly off his line to deny Bonaventura as he charged away from the Greek defence before Gonzalez sees a shot stopped by the keeper.
19'
GOLDEN CHANCE FOR SERIE A SIDE
Ball breaks nicely to Giacomo Bonaventura inside the box, but he ends up side footing the shot straight at Tzolakis. Easy enough save. That was a great chance to give Fiorentina the lead, but not taken.
