Evening and welcome to our coverage of Schalke v Benfica in Group B of the UEFA Champions League.

Full-time - Schalke 2 Benfica 0. Farfan and Huntelaar on target for the Germans.

Benfica are battling to the end, but this game is over and they know it.

There will be four minutes of injury time.

The crowd is rocking at the Veltins-Arena.

GGGOOOAAALLLL!!!!! 2-0 to Schalke. Raul nicked the ball off David Luiz and then strode at the heart of the Benfica defence, before laying the ball to Jermaine Jones arriving from the left wing and the second half substitute had the simple task of rolling the ball to Huntelaar who slid the ball into the empty net.

The Germans look comfortable at the moment.

More than 50,000 packed into the Veltins-Arena tonight.

Another dangerous ball flies across the Schalke box... All it needed was a touch.

Jose Jurado off for Peer Kluge.

Fábio Coentrão then does the same for Benfica as they try to hit the Germans on the counter attack.

Jefferson Farfan fires the ball across the face of the goal, just ahead of his strikers.....

GGGOOOAAALLLL!!!! Jefferson Farfan scores for Schalke. A cross from Lukas Schmitz was missed by Cesar Peixoto and found its way to the Peruvian, who struck the ball across Roberto Gago and into the left hand corner of the net.

It's been disjointed and littered with niggly fouls, yellow cards and a string of substitutions.

This has been a very disappointing second half.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos' challenge has forced Óscar Cardozo off. On comes Alan Kardec.

Another fine intervention from Schalke's Kyriakos Papadopoulos. He makes a saving tackle on Óscar Cardozo after a mistake from Christoph Metzelder.

Jermaine Jones cuts in from the left wing and blazes over from the edge of the box.

Schalke's Ivan Rakitic makes way for Jermaine Jones.

Pablo Aimar replaces Javier Saviola for Benfica.

Jefferson Farfan in the book for a foul on Carlos Martins.
