    Time:90'
    • Panathinaikos
    • Villarreal
    • - A deserved 2-1 win in the end for the Spanish side, who played the better football overall and scored two fine goals.
    • 90+2' It's all over and Villareal take it!!
    • 90+2' Rossi ahould have sealed it for Villareal, but he misses from six yards out. Decent save from the keeper, but it was straight at him.
    • 90+1' Two minutes of injury time left for a late miracle for Pana.
    • 90' The home side can't find a way through this 11 man defence and the sub Rukavina hasn't endeared himslef to the Pana fans so far with some poor touches.
    • 88' Into the last two minutes of the 90 and it looks all over for Panathinaikos now.
    • 86' Wawryzniak is off for Pana, as they throw another striker on - Rukavina.
    • 86' High balls into the box now for the home side, but the Spanish rearguard are lapping them up so far.
    • 84' Ten Cate is preparing another sub as the crowd give Gilberto the bird for a few poor passes!
    • 83' Villareal have ten men behind the ball now and they're looking good for the quarter finals at the moment.
    • 80' Snap shot from Salpigidis hits Javi Venta. That one looked destined for the top corner!
    • 78' Villareal have a man down but the home side play on and Mantzios heads a half chance wide. The Spaniards would not have been happy if that had gone in!
    • 76' The home side haven't given this up though and a great ball from Wawryzniak tests the Villareal centre backs. Godin gets it clear this time.
    • 74' Villareal respond with Bruno on for Ibagaza.
    • 73' Sub for the home side. Christodopoulos is on for Gabriel.
    • 72' The home side need two now and the atmosphere inside the Olympic Stadium has gone flat. The home fans not happy.
    • 71' Classic Villareal counter attack and a great finish after a deft ball from Ibagaza means that we can't have extra time now.
    • 70' GOAL!!! And its the sub Llorente who blasted the ball in after a swift counter attack involving Ibagaza and the crowd are silenced!!
    • 70' It comes to nothing though and Pana come forward again.
    • 68' Gilberto and Senna are having a good battle in the middle of the park and the former Arsenal man concedes a foul in a dangerous position.
    • 67' Salpigidis goes down in the area after a nice move by the home side and the fans screamed for a penalty, but it was a bit theatrical.
    • 65' Another Villareal corner is dealt with by the imposing backline of Panathinaikos.
    • 64' This tie really could go either way at the moment, as both sides are going for it with Villareal currently enjoying the most possession.
    • 63' To clear up that substitution earlier, it was Nihat that was replaced for Villareal.
    • 62' Ibagaza's corner is punched clear by Galinovic in the Pana goal.
    • 61' The Villareal defence is looking a bit nervy now and a long punt forward to Mantzios has them scrambling to clear their lines.
    • 60' As it stands, we'd be heading for extra time here in Athens, but will it go that far?
    • 59' Cazorla tries a shot from distance after a square ball from Ibagaza, but it goes miles over.
    • 58' I said that this one was bubbling nicely and it has certainly taken off in this second half. Great game now.
    • 56' The home fans in full voice now and the fireworks are going off so much that the pitch is clouded in smoke!
    • 55' Karagounis it was with the corner and Mantzios rose emphatically to beat the defender and leave Lopez no chance.
    • 54' GOAL!!! From the corner it's Mantzios, who climbs above Godin to power a header past Lopez! It's 1-1 here.
    • 54' Good work down the left earns the home side another corner.
    • 50' Pana try to get back on terms straight away and earn a corner, but it comes to nothing.
    • 49' Great strike from Ibagaza after a fine move involving Rossi and Capdevila and that puts a new complexion on things.
    • 49' GOAL!! Ibagaza hits a first time shot from the edge of the area left footed and that's a brilliant goal!!
    • 48' Some confusion as to who's gone off, but Villareal playing with two up front now in Rossi and Llorente.
    • 47' The fourth official held up the number 6 of Eguren as the man to come off, but he's still on the pitch!
    • 46' Llorente is on for Villareal as the second half starts.
    • 45' No further goalmouth action, as the first half comes to a close, but this one is starting to come to the boil nicely now.
    • 42' Rossi is starting to look like the man most likely for Villareal, as he tries to turn his man again, but the chance comes to nothing.
    • 40' Both sides, having had their first real chances to make the opposing keeper work are playing a more open game now.
    • 37' Best cyhance of the match for Mantzios, who's through on goal. He has to take the shot early and Lopez makes the save!
    • 36' Ibagaza has the ball in the net, but it's ruled out for an infringement.
    • 35' Senna tries his luck from distance, but the ball sails over the bar.
    • 34' Great effort from Karagounis, but it's a comfortable save for Lopez in the end.
    • 33' Eguren concedes a free kick in a central position about 30 yards out.
    • 32' The game is opening up a bit now with both sides looking more purposeful in possession and a shot comes in from Ibagaza.
    • 31' Half chance for Gabriel for the home side after good work down the right. His shot is a couple of yards too high though.
    • 29' Javi Venta is on for Angel Lopez for Villareal and it looks like an injury to Angel that's the reason.
    • 28' Rossi manages to wriggle free and get a yard, but his shot is blocked twice.
    • 27' Henk Ten Cate did say that he might not be winning many friends tonight with his tactics, but it's working at the moment as both sides are cancelling each other out.
    • 26' The free kick from Karagounis is cleared comfortably and the Pana skipper couldn't earn the corner he was looking for.
    • 25' Strange back pass from Senna puts his own defence in trouble.
    • 23' Rossi bursts into the area, chasing a ball from Ibagaza, but he couldn't get round his marker and it goes out for a goal kick.
    • 20' The Turkey striker didn't get hold of it as well as he would have liked, but the keeper was made to work.
    • 20' The fans have started the whistling early, as we have our first shot on goal from Nihat.
    • 19' It's not too surprising, given the delicate state of the tie, but this big crowd will be looking for more than we've seen so far.
    • 17' Absolutely nothing for the two keepers to do so far. This is a cagey opening from the these two sides.
    • 16' Senna it was with the challenge, which the Pana skipper is still muttering about.
    • 15' Karagounis goes down again, rather theatrically and he gets nothing from the ref this time. He's showing the ref his alleged injury to little sympathy.
    • 13' Capdevila penalised for foul on Gabriel, but the free kick is cleared by the Villareal left back.
    • 12' Capdevila is trying to get forward down the left for Villareal, but he's been well marshalled. This seems the focal point of their play so far.
    • 10' After the opening moments it looks as if Villareal are content to try and soak up the pressure from the home side and play on the break.
    • 8' The pitch looks a bit bobbly and that might count against the Spanish side and their passing game. We'll soon find out.
    • 7' The vistors enjoy their first spell of possession and a patient move ends in a cross from Ibagaza that goes behind.
    • 5' It's cleared by the Villareal defence but the home side have had most of the early play as would be expected.
    • 4' First corner of the game for Pana, after good work from Salpigidis down the left.
    • 3' Ref has a word with Gabriel for a challenge leading with the elbow as the match settles down early on.
    • 2' Mantzios gets the first cross in for the home side, but it's claimed by Diego Lopez easily enough.
    • 1 It's Villareal who start us off tonight and we're underway.
    • - The home fans are certainly making the most of it so far, as there are firecrackers and sparklers lighting up the Olympic Stadium as the teams enter the fray.
    • - The home side are looking to reach the quarter finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2002 when they were eliminated by Barcelona.
    • - This one is evenly balanced after a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Spain, when former Manchester United striker Giuseppi Rossi equalised with a 65th minute penalty after the Greek side had taken the lead through Karagounis.
    • - Good evening and welcome to Eurosport.com's live coverage of tonight's Champions League clash between Panathinaikos and Villareal.
