Key events
GOAL! Roma 0-1 Porto (agg: 1-2; Samu 27)
Samu Aghehowa has put Porto ahead with a stunning goal! It stemmed initially from a wretched pass by the Roma keeper Mile Svilar that was intercepted on the edge of the area. He made a desperate save, then a shot was blocked and Roma seemed to have got away with it. But then Samu flicked the ball up and hook a brilliant volley over his own shoulder and into the net.
GOAL! Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Twente (agg: 1-3; Sjovold own goal 26)
The first goal of the evening has been scored in Norway. Bodo/Glimt have been completely on top but it’s Twente who have taken the lead through an unfortunate own-goal. A corner from the right bounced up awkwardly, hit the unsighted Fredrik Sjovold on the head and flew into the net.
Conference League: Shamrock Rovers v Molde (8pm; agg: 1-0)
Shamrock Rovers have the chance to become the first Irish team to reach the last 16 of a European competition since Dundalk in 1979-80. To those who have been following Irish football in the last few years, it’s no great surprise.
