41'
Gent have steadied the ship a little now. The first 30 minutes was all Wolfsburg and the home side can be pleased with how they've defended, but they really need a goal tonight.
39'
No foul? Very strange decision by the referee, who fails to award Gent a free-kick on the very edge of the box as Dante comes across and clearly obstructs Depoitre's path as he was about the drive into the box. Should be a free-kick and yellow card for Dante, whose foul was cynical.

WOLFSBURG CHANCE! Jung's shot is clawed away by Sels and Draxler's follow-up effort is blocked. The Gent goal coming under siege, but the Belgian's defending well.
36'
Worth noting again that the man pressuring Depoitre was Dante.
35'
Foket wins a corner for Gent and Milicevic's ball in almost falls at the feet of Depoitre but he can't quite bring the ball under his spell.
33'
The deep-free kick comes in, but who's there to clear it? Yes, Dante.
32'
Wolfsburg starting to concede some silly free-kicks though, and Luiz Gustavo is the guilty party this time, and Gent have a free-kick in a dangerous area...
30'
Promising burst forward by Asare, but his run is stopped on the edge of the box by Dante, who hasn't put a foot wrong tonight.
28'
Wolfsburg really do have a tight grip on this game though. Gent toiling just to get out of their own half.
27'
The resulting corner is cleared as far as Luiz Gustavo, who never really got hold of his shot which goes comfortably wide for the Gent defence.

ALMOST AN OWN GOAL! Closest we've come to a goal yet, and it was almost calamitous stuff. Wolfsburg find space on the right again, Max Arnold cuts it across and Gent defender Stefan Mitrovic has to deal with it. He nods the ball back, but it's flying into the corner of his own net until Matz Sels gets a slight touch and turns it away.
25'
Vieirinha in the thick of the action again, but this time he drills a disappointing shot way over, when he had team-mates in support.
23'
Vieirinha finds space on the right flank, but his low cross somehow misses all the waiting players in the box.
21'
The resulting corner is rolled all the way out to Arnold on the edge of the box, but his shot takes a deflection and loops into Sels's arms.
19'
Wolfsburg on the attack again through Kruse, but his mazy run is eventually halted on the edge of the Gent box.
18'
Gent claiming a penalty after the ball is pelted at Vieirinha and comes off his elbow, but that's never going to get a penalty.
17'
Panic at the back for Gent. Jung's good run and low cross causes problems in the box for the defence, who only half clear as far as Träsch, who lashes a shot from the edge of the box well wide.
16'
The ball comes out to Arnold 25 yards out, but the German's left-footed drive was always going over.
15'
Gent aren't going to get too many chances like that tonight.

FOKET CHANCE! First real chance of the game and it's wasted by Foket. Depoitre does really well to nod down a high ball at the far post, but Foket lashes his shot well over.
12'
Jung is back on, but not moving too freely.
