  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Standard Liège
    • Everton
    • 90+4 The corner is played near post, Howard is in there but the last touch sends it out for a goal-kick and that's it! Everton are out, Standard Liege are through! A major shock for David Moyes's men, but this Belgian side are very, very good.
    • 90+3 Throw in to Standard on the right, they go for the corner this time and it's out for a goal-kick. Everton come forward, they have men over and Cahill is free but the pass is just behind him! He keeps it alive, Anichebe shoots but over and a corner!
    • 90+2 Jovanovic again leads the charge, he can kill it off here by taking it into the corner but he tries the shot, straight at Howard though.
    • 90+1 Everton counter, they now have men over and the ball is swung into the box but a good punch this time!
    • 90' Again Jovanovic counters and Witsel is free but he tries to go it alone and Yobo clears!
    • 88' Standard with a typical counter, they have men over and Dalmat finds Jovanovic in space in the box and he can finish it off here but he tries a lob which doesn't come off.
    • 86' Everton come forward now and the cross finds Cahill late but the ball was out of play.
    • 85' Defour has the ball on the right now, he cuts inside and he can shoot but there are two runners in the box and he pings it across but Jagielka sticks a boot out and Everton survive!
    • 84' Standard break, Mbokani on the right, he could be in here but there are a few blue shirts in front of him so he does the sensible thing and holds it up.
    • 82' Everton with a bit of pressure but Cahill and then Pienaar fail to get meaningful shots away.
    • 79' Jovanovic steps up to take it... and Howard almost saves it, diving the right way but just missing it with his outstretched left hand! 2-1 Liege and Everton scoring would merely force extra-time.
    • 77' Jovanovic on the ball, they have men over and he plays a one-two with Mbokani and he's in but Baines trips him and it's a penalty! Yellow card for protesting, but he did make contact with his knee at the same time as the ball! Standard can go ahead.
    • 75' Dalmat again goes down easily but he gets the free-kick this time. Easy for Howard though.
    • 73' Everton are really bossing it now, but there's a break from Standard and Dalmat is in but he goes to ground far too easily and the ref waves him to get up.
    • 71' EVERTON SUB: No messing from the Toffees as Pienaar comes on for Saha.
    • 70' An Everton player is down after an accidental collision. Saha it is, he's holding his head but I don't think it was intentional.
    • 67' Second corner then, Arteta to swing in from the left... easy for the keeper BUT HE DROPS IT AND JAGIELKA POKES THE BALL HOME! There was a defender on the line but he couldn't keep it out, Everton level! Terrible keeping from Espinoza, but Everton don't care and they just need one more goal!
    • 66' It's a decent corner that causes some problems and they don't clear it, the ball drops to Anichebe on the edge of the box and his shot is blocked for another corner.
    • 65' Anichebe with a run down the right and he tries the early ball but Sarr puts it behind. This is more like it from Everton.
    • 62' Everton make a change and it's a bold one - Hibbert off for Anichebe. 4-3-3 with Neville moving back to defence.
    • 59' Everton come forward now, Arteta on the left, he pings a cross in for Saha but the header is weak and off target.
    • 58' Everton give the ball away but Hibbert intercepts the through ball. Still with Standard, Jovanovic slows it down until Dante comes round the back of him and he skins the defender before having a pop but deflected into Howard's arms!
    • 56' Corner to Everton on the right, Arteta to take... he swings it far post and Osman and Jagielka rise but the whistle goes, free-kick for pushing.
    • 54' Long ball aimed at Saha and the keeper Espinoza comes out to clear but just rolls over it and lets the ball go out of play. Risky but effective.
    • 52' Good play by Jovanovic on the left, he tries the cross and it's back with Dante but his delivery is out.
    • 48' Needless handball from Arteta midway inside his own half.
    • 46' Second half underway - and it is tipping it down in Belgium.
    • 45' The ref blows for half-time, Standard Liege lead Everton 1-0 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate!
    • 44' Cahill and Arteta have barely had a sniff. Standard are just out-playing them.
    • 42' Another good move from the Belgians but Defour can't get the final ball in. Everton are really struggling to get into this match.
    • 38' Mbokani in on the right now, he gets behind Neville and cuts inside but the shot is wild, wide and high.
    • 36' Dalmat again in on the right and he swings a far-post cross over for MBOKANI BUT HOWARD FLIES ACROSS TO PUNCH CLEAR! Almost a second again.
    • 31' Everton really under the cosh here, it's all Standard Liege who look a really good side! Incessant pressure but Everton - with Lescott in particular working hard - are batting them off.
    • 26' Mbokani goes down on the edge of the box but nothing given!
    • 22' Defour on the ball, running through the middle, he has a crack but Howard dives across with a save, he can only parry it and Jovanovic is there on the right to play a delightful far-post cross AND WITSEL SLIDES IN WITH THE FINISH FOR 1-0! Standard lead again! 1-0 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate. Everton have it all to do - they need to score at least twice now.
    • 20' Poor challenge on Yakubu, free-kick to Everton around 30 yards out but straight into the keeper Espinoza's arms.
    • 18' Baines to take, just on the edge of the D... straight into the wall, it lands with Neville but his shot is weak and easily cleared.
    • 17' Everton break forwards and Saha goes down on the edge of the box, Defour pushed him and he screams his way into the book.
    • 14' Dalmat on the right, back to Defour who crosses for Mbokani who goes down but nothing given and the ref has a word for the dive.
    • 12' Saha on the ball, to the left of the box, he cuts inside and leaves Camozzato for dead and he can get a shot in here but slips as he shoots and it spins well wide!
    • 10' Dalmat on the right, he surges at Neville who dives in and Dalmat shows those dribbling skills to skip over him and play it in for Mbokani but hacked behind by Jagielka for a corner! As per the first leg, Standard really dangerous on the break.
    • 8' A rare foray into attack by Standard, good play down the left and Defour has it centrally but a poor ball for Mbokani is back to Howard.
    • 6' Lots of possession for Everton but no real penetration.
    • 3' Early run down the left by Arteta but he can't get the cross in. Everton with most of the ball early on in this encounter.
    • 1' Match underway!
    • - A tricky one for the Toffees, who conceded two away goals when they drew with Standard at Goodison. They've had a tough start to the season and realistically will have to win here in Belgium if they are to make the group stage.
