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.
17'
GREEK SIDE EARN A FREE-KICK
Once again little to no time on the ball as Lucas Martínez Quarta is guilty of a late challenge on Chiquinho. El Kaabi with 32 goals so far, but no chances so far tonight.

OLYMPIACOS WITH MORE OF THE BALL
Greek side happy to show off their technical excellence so far in reaching this final, but the Viola have had three out of four of the shots on goal so far.

HOME FANS CREATING PLENTY OF NOISE
Not the biggest of venues, but as close to a home party as Olympiacos could wish for in a major European final. Still nervy moments.
11'
NO TIME TO TAKE TOUCHES
Three touches is probably one too many before you are closed down here. Both teams really buzzing around the ball as Christian Kouamé sees a shot charged down.

ITALIAN SIDE HAVE THE BALL IN THE NET
But Nikola Milenkovic is clearly offside as he helped the finish into the net amid the sound of silence. VAR not hanging about in confirming the offside call was right.
5'
EARLY CHANCES AT BOTH ENDS
Daniel Podence with a shot from the edge of the box that is nudged wide by Pietro Terracciano before Belotti drags his effort past a post at the other end. Game opening up nicely early doors.
3'
TEAMS SETTLING DOWN TO THE CHALLENGE
Plenty of boos around the ground whenever the white shirts of the Serie A side get on the ball. Which is not much at the moment. Ayoub El Kaabi just failing to control the ball up front.
