Concern for Wolfsburg as Jung tangles with Asare, who was trying to shield the ball from the Wolfsburg defender, who then fell awkwardly. He's clutching his knee.
8'
Slight opening for Wolfsburg as Kruse's cross from the right almost deflects into Draxler's path, but it's frantically cleared away.
7'
But the free-kick from Vieirinha is, well, plain awful and it sails over everyone in the box and straight out of play.
6'
Nielsen manhandles Kruse and Wolfsburg have a free-kick in a dangerous position on the left.
4'
Gent struggling to get out of their own half at the moment. Wolfsburg pressing very high up the pitch.
3'
It's been a pretty dominant start by the German,s who only last weekend ended a five game winless streak. They could do with an early goal to find their rhythm.
2'
Wolfsburg enjoying some good early possession here.

For Wolfsburg, Josuha Guilavogui hurt his hip against Schalke and was subsequently ruled out for around ten days. André Schürrle missed the game in Gelsenkirchen due to adductor problems but returned at the weekend as a second-half substitute, and the former Chelsea man is on the bench again tonight.
19.30
Gent have lost three of their 11 games since matchday six, two of those defeats coming away to title rivals Club Brugge and the other at KV Mechelen.

Midfielder Julian Draxler said: "The fans have been right to criticise us. We hadn't shown for a while what we could do. We've drawn a line under things now."
19.05
Wolfsburg ended a five-match winless run with a 2-0 victory over Ingolstadt last weekend. Some more of that kind of form will be needed tonight, as Gent could prove the surprise package in this year's competition.
19.00
So a big night for both of these sides, but especially Gent, who will need a decent lead and to avoid conceding a goal tonight if they are to have any chance of getting past a strong Wolfsburg side over the two legs.
