Live Commentary
Time:90'- Fulham
- Amkar Perm
- - It's all over at the Cottage and it's a 3-1 win for Fulham and they look good to progress to the group stages of the Europa League.
- 87' Dempsey tries to replicate his earlier screamer and he's not too far away, but this time it flies wide of the right hand post.
- 85' Hangeland is penalised for a foul on Kushev and Drincic takes the free kick, but that won't worry Schwarzer.
- 83' Edin Junuzovic is on now for Perm, replacing Bemvindo Jean Carlos.
- 82' From another of those inswinging corners by Nikola Drincic, Brede Hangeland stretches to make the clearance. Amkar going all-out for a second away goal late on here.
81' Dempsey goes into the book after handling the ball.- 78' Duff with a corner for Fulham and that's whacked clear by Zahari Sirakov.
77' Chris Baird is on now to replace Dickson Etuhu.- 77' Fulham fans will be hoping that Andy Johnson's injury isn't too bad. It was a pretty industrial challenge that led to Johnson being subbed and he looked in a bit of pain.
- 73' New signing Damian Duff comes on to replace Gera for Fulham.
76' GOAL!! Just as I say that Fulham have sealed it Amkar get a precious away goal and it was thumped in off the crossbar by Vitali Grishin from the edge of the area!!- 76' GOAL! And that surely seals it for Fulham!! Zamora with it, but it was made by Duff, who has just come on!
68' Dempsey tries to get his second of the evening as he hits a free kick given for a foul on Zamora. Narubin is equal to it though.- 67' It's been a spirited fightback by the Russian side since that second Fulham goal went in and now Vitali Grishin has a shot on goal that goes wide of the post from the edge of the box.
- 65' Amkar respond with a change of their own - Mitar Novakovic is off and Dmitar Telkiyski is on.
- 65' Andrew Johnson is going to be replaced by Eric Nevland for Fulham.
- 61' Dmitri Belorukov becomes the first into the book this evening after a foul on Andrew Johnson.
- 58' Amkar still on the offensive and now from another of those Nikola Drincic corners Martin Kushev gets his head to the ball from close range, but is unable to find the target!
- 57' The visitors make the first substitution of the match and Vitali Grishin is on to replace Nikolai Zhilyaev.
- 56' Spell of pressure here from Amkar as Nikola Drincic takes another corner and from it Zahari Sirakov has a shot on goal and Schwarzer is called into the action again.
- 55' Another corner straight away for the visitors and this time Zamora is the man to get the ball clear for Fulham.
- 54' Amkar have managed five corners, the latest of which comes in now from Nikola Drincic and that's easy for Schwarzer.
- 52' The home side not settling for two, as boss Roy Hodgson has mentioned that if they have a good lead he might send some young players for the second leg in Russia. Konchesky on the attack again for Fulham now.
- 51' GOAL!! Fulham have that vital second goal and it's Clint Demspey with it! Great goal it was too - right in the top corner from distance! 2-0 Fulham.
- 48' Kushev in the action again, but this time he fouls Dempsey and concedes a free kick.
- 47' Martin Kushev it was with the opportunity and Fulham living slightly dangerously there.
46' Underway with the second half here and Perm just had their best chance when Konchesky was careless at the back and the shot came in from about eight yards that Schwarzer had to save.- - Half time here at the Cottage and Fulham with a comfortable 1-0 lead. The visitors have just had the one effort on goal, while Fulham could have added at least one more. Back with more soon.
- 43' Danny Murphy takes the resulting corner, but his kick is cleared away from the danger area by Martin Kushev.
- 42' Dempsey with another shot for Fulham and that effort is cleared by Dmitri Belorukov at the expense of a corner.
37' Martin Kushev goes on the chase for Amkar, but his run is stopped by the offside flag.- 37' Zamora is the architect of the majority of Fulham's good work at the moment and a header from Hangeland flies over the bar.
- 35' Zoltan Gera putting himself about a bit more now, but he's penalised for a foul on Miklos Gaal.
- 35' Fulham almost got a second goal in a very similar manner to their first there and it was Zamora's pass to Johnson once more that created the chance. The finish didn't beat Naburin though. Decent save.
- 31' Fulham have their second shot on target of the match through Demspey, but that's saved by Sergei Narubin in the Perm goal.
- 29' Zahari Sirakov tries to create something for Perm, but his delivery is comfortably cut out by Schwarzer.
- 28' Dempsey fouls Nikola Drincic and Drincic takes the free kick himself.
- 26' Konchesky trying to create that width now for Fulham and his run down the left ends in a handball decision, but his free kick is cleared by Zahari Sirakov.
- 25' Perm are enjoying a fair amount of possession here without creating anything of any note. That said, Fulham are struggling to find any width in their play and the likes of Zoltan Gera haven't really figured yet.
- 20' It's been a pretty comfortable opening 20 minutes for Fulham in truth. The visitors don't look to be in the same class as Fulham and more goals from the hosts is the likliest outcome at the moment.
- 17' Amkar Prem on the offensive now and Brede Hangeland gives away a free kick, but manages to redeem himself by heading clear from the resulting delivery by Nikola Drincic.
- 16' Another free kick for the hosts, this time for a foul on Clint Demspey by Zahari Sirakov.
- 15' Fulham on the attack down the left now through Paul Konchesky, but his delivery is cut out by Nikolai Zhilyaev.
- 11' Nikola Drincic on the attack for Amkar, but he's going to be pulled back for handball there. Schwarzer will take the free kick for Fulham.
- 9' Free kick to Fulham now as Danny Murphy is brought down by Martin Kushev. Murphy gets up and takes it himself and he's perfectly ok it appears.
- 8' Zamora penalised there for a challenge on Cherenchikov. free kick to the visitors and Zamora seemingly everywhere at the moment.
- 5' Zamora's pace was the key there as the visitors were stunned by the speed of the Fulham counter attack and great awareness from Zamora too to play in Johnson.
- 4' GOAL!! And it's Andy Johnson who has put Fulham ahead!! Zamora broke away from an Amkar corner and played in Johnson who made no mistake with a clinical finish! Great start for Fulham!
