  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Amkar Perm
    • Fulham
    • 90+4 And that's the final whistle! A lucky escape for Fulham, who win 3-2 on aggregate but were a whisker away from going out. Up next we have Everton's trip to Sigma Olomouc.
    • 90+3 Fulham go down the other end and it's Seol, Seol is in, he must score but the shot is blocked and Amkar clear!!
    • 90+3 Long ball towards the Fulham box, Hangeland lets it bounce and Panstil makes a right hash of the clearance under pressure from Kushev AND ZHILAYEV IS IN, HE MUST SCORE TO WIN IT FOR AMKAR BUT HE SMASHES THE BALL OVER!! That whistled past Schwarzer AND the top corner, what an escape for Fulham!!
    • 90+2 Clever play from Damien Duff to win a free-kick when Fulham were under the kosh again. Hoofed rugby style to the far corner, Fulham just need to hold out for 60 seconds....
    • 90+1 Three minutes of added time to be played - Amkar just need one goal and they're through! All hell is breaking loose in the stands!
    • 90' Fulham are trying to keep the ball in the corner but Kamara cannot hold on to it and Amkar counter, wide right to Peev who is in space and swings over an excellent cross AND KUSHEV FLIES IN WITH A HEADER INTO THE TOP RIGHT FOR 1-0! RIGHT AT THE DEATH! Amkar back in with a shout!
    • 89' Kamara gets it on the right, he cuts inside but has no support and is tackled.
    • 88' Yellow card for Kamara after a late tackle halts a counter from the hosts. Drincic takes short but eventually it is given away and Fulham can break....
    • 86' The match is winding down now. Amkar have had their chances - plenty, in fact - and the 2-0 result they needed was definitely a possibility. It still is, with at least five minutes left.....
    • 84' Shocking effort from Seol in a great position, he skies the free-kick. The wall was pretty makeshift too, he really should have got that on target.
    • 83' Belorukov chops down Gera and earns himself a booking, and gives Fulham some respite and, crucially, a free-kick right on the edge of the box, two yards from it in fact, central too.
    • 82' Amkar come forward again and Peev is on the edge of the box but his shot is blocked, corner on the right, Drincic to take but awful, cleared at the near post.
    • 80' Amkar attack again but again they over-elaborate on the edge of the box, Hangeland clearing from Kushev.
    • 78' Kamara caught offside.
    • 77' Amkar still dominating but they have somehow failed to score. This is quite silly actually - eight shots on target to Fulham's one, which just happened.
    • 76' Gera eventually takes the free-kick and, while he sends it past the wall and on target, it is straight at Narubin who gets a rare touch of the ball.
    • 75' AMKAR SUB: Junuzovicon for Grishin.
    • 74' FULHAM SUB: Seol comes on for Riise.
    • 73' There's some kind of drama outside the Amkar box with Fulham awarded a free-kick... Fulham will make a change too, Seol is coming on...
    • 72' Amkar break again, Peev cuts in from the right and he dribbles towards goal but half-cleared, now Drincic but Kelly is across to block.
    • 71' Amkar break and they have men over, Peev swings it over and Hangeland misses it and Kushev is in and he must score but Schwarzer flies out to block, still with Kushev but Panstil comes across to challenge, now Peev can slide it in but Hughes is back defending and Fulham survive!!
    • 69' It's take short to Peev who takes a touch and shoots low but blocked by the wall, who stood firm and Fulham clear.
    • 68' Hangeland fouls Kushev and Amkar have a free-kick around 25 yards out, pretty central...
    • 67' FULHAM SUB: Kamara comes on for Nevland.
    • 66' Fulham with a rare attack as Cherenchikov makes a hash of clearing and Nevland is in, he's in the box and must shoot but he checks back for some reason and tries to set up no-one in particular. Amkar clear.
    • 65' AMKAR SUB: Zhilyaev on for Jean Carlos.
    • 64' Reall good delivery and Schwarzer stretches those long arms through a crowd of bodies to palm away!
    • 63' The first yellow card of the match goes to Panstil for a foul on Drincic, who will take the free-kick...
    • 62' Kushev almost gets in again but the ball skips away from him into the arms of Schwarzer. Fulham have done very well to keep this goalless.
    • 61' Drincic gets down the left to the excitement of the home crowd but the cross is poor and Fulham clear.
    • 60' AMKAR SUB: Novakovic is on for the hosts, defender Telkiyski comes off.
    • 59' Terrible delivery from the left, bouncing out for a goal-kick.
    • 58' Grishin with some good work on the left to win a corner, all the big lads come up for it, Drincic to take...
    • 56' Amkar camped down the right at the moment, working Kelly hard on his debut. Surely it's only a matter of time before they score?
    • 55' Poor delivery, flying well out for a goal kick.
    • 54' Still all Amkar, Fulham look half-awake today (or tonight as it is in Russia). The hosts dominating the ball and winning a free-kick on the left.
    • 52' Another testing ball in from the left which Hughes heads behind for a corner but, no, the whistle has gone, some kind of infringement, offside perhaps but he looked fine to me.
    • 51' Peev gets down the right and he whips over a deadly ball AND FULHAM ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND KUSHEV MUST SCORE but he puts the finish just wide of the left-hand post! Schwarzer was beaten too!
    • 49' The corner is cleared and, with Kelly on to the loose ball, Fulham have already dropped and it's back with Narubin in goal for Amkar.
    • 48' Good play from Fulham, Kelly and Gera combine while Duff gets across, now Gera inside to Nevland, Duff is on the right to get on to Etuhu's ball and Fulham win a corner.
    • 47' Good start for the Russians with Kushev almost getting in but Etuhu and Hangeland manage to clear and now GRISHIN WITH THE DRIVE but it goes wide.
    • 46' Fulham get the second half underway!
    • - The teams have come out for the second half now. It's a nice enough evening but the pitch is awful, it really is.
    • - Fulham have only had 36 per cent of the ball in this match so far, with Amkar having five shots on target to Fulham's zero. But it's still goalless, and that's what counts!
    • 45+1 Half-time, the Russians have by far had the better of it but goalless so Fulham still lead 3-1 on aggregate!
    • 45' One minute added time being played.
    • 44' Consecutive attacks from Fulham, who sense that they need a goal to calm their nerves, but Kelly's final ball is poor and Nevland is isolated and the hosts clear.
    • 43' The corner is swung in from the left by Drincic and Schwarzer flaps horribly and Belorukov must score but it comes off the top of his head and IN FLIES CHERENCHIKOV BUT HE SOMEHOW HEADS OVER FROM ONE YARD OUT! There were bodies everywhere but it was a bad miss.
    • 42' Good delivery to the far post causes problems for Fulham but Hangeland heads behind for a corner.
    • 41' Foul by Kelly on the Amkar right, the ref has a word and asks him to calm down.
    • 40' Duff is chopped down but the ref waves play on, which Fulham fail to exploit thanks to a heavy first touch from Baird.
    • 38' Kushev is in on the left but the flag is up for offside.
    • 37' Duff is playing on the right now, switching with Riise who is back in the middle. Duff prefers getting it on to his left though, but with it quite congested in the middle of the park, he needs to be hugging the touchline.
    • 36' Sirakov on the right, inside to Peev but his centre is poor and Hangeland kicks clear.
    • 35' Belorukov comes forward from defence into the Fulham half, Amkar putting a lot of pressure on the Whites and playing it around nicely given the conditions on the pitch.
    • 33' Kelly comes down the left, inside to Gera who looks backwards, now Etuhu as Fulham try to at least keep the ball for a spell. Poor from Baird though, selling Panstil short and out for a throw.
    • 32' Sirakov inside to Grishin, who comes forward but is held up and it's back with Schwarzer.
    • 31' Low, flat delivery from Riise which Nevland stoops to flick on but cleared with ease by the hosts, who have been the better side so far!
    • 30' Some respite for Fulham who have a free-kick on the left, won by Gera. Riise to take.
    • 29' Jean Carlos on the edge of the box, he's in but Hughes blocks his shot and Kushev can finish but blocked again and Fulham survive! All Amkar at the moment!
    • 27' Sirakov almosy gets in down the right but his cross is deflected away, swung in from the left and Peev flies in but Hangeland gets it clear, Still with Amkar and it ricochets in the box AND PEEV MUST SCORE BUT SCHWARZER HURLS HIMSELF OUT WITH THE BLOCK! Panstil misses the clearance and a Fulham player chops down Jean Carlos I think but nothing given!
    • 25' Good play by Amkar, knocking it about nicely on the edge of the box, Sirakov drifts from left to right and Peev is in but his shot is deflected behind for a corner.
    • 24' Corner to the Russians now, which Drincic will take but headed away by Hangeland.
    • 23' Almost a good move by Amkar but this pitch is awful, shocking, and what should have been an easy pass to Jean Carlos takes a huge bobble and spins out for a throw.
    • 22' Gera gets down the left and cuts inside before launching a cross towards Nevland but the hosts clear.
    • 21' Sirokov almost gets in down the right but Kelly hoofs clear. Foul by Jean Carlos.
    • 19' Grishin has a crack but off target.
    • 17' Duff wins a free kick now but the hosts clear.
    • 15' Jean Carlos fouled by Kelly again, who needs to be careful. Drincic delivers but cleared.
    • 13' Riise gets down the right and crosses in but behind for a conrner. Duff takes but cleared.
    • 11' Drincic with a corner for Amkar but Fulham clear... Geev now with a cross but Hughes clears.
    • 10' The free kick is swung in right-footed by Drincic, but Pantsil clears.
    • 9' Stephen Kelly fouls Dmitar Telkiyski, chance for Amkar with a free-kick on the right wing...
    • 5' Good ball from Grishin - who scored in the first leg - but Hangeland rises to head clear.
    • 2' Stephen Kelly gets his first competitive start for Fulham underway with a foul on Jean Carlos.
    • 1' Match underway in Russia!
    • - Referee: Markus Strombergsson (Sweden)
    • - So, Duff, Kelly and Riise get their first starts since joining the Whites this summer, while surprisingly Erik Nevland leads the line, alone, with Kamara on the bench and CHRIS BAIRD in midfield. Yes, Chris Baird.
    • - Fulham: Schwarzer, Kelly, Hughes, Hangeland, Pantsil, Gera, Riise, Etuhu, Baird, Duff, Nevland; Subs: Stockdale, Seol, Kamara, Eddie Johnson, Smalling, Saunders, Anderson
    • - Amkar Perm team: Narubin, Sirakov, Cherenchikov, Belorukov, Gaal, Peev, Drincic, Telkiyski, Grishin, Jean Carlos, Kushev; Subs: Usminsky, Novakovic, Pomerko, Zhilyaev, Junuzovic, William, Kalashnikov
    • - The Whites won the first leg comfortably but conceded a goal that gives the Russians hope today. MATCH REPORT: Fulham 3-1 Amkar Perm
    • - Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has a host of injury concerns with Danny Murphy, Bobby Zamora and Paul Konchesky all out in addition to Andy Johnson and Simon Davies. MORE HERE!
    • - LIVE FROM 3PM! Amkar Perm need to win 2-0 or more if they are to get past Premier League Fulham, who lead 3-1 from the first leg of this play-off to make the group stage of the Europa League.
