90+3'
FULL-TIME: The Dutch side take it through Toivonen's double. Sampdoria were actually the better side after the first half but they crumbled wretchedly to surrender the advantage.
90+2'

Yellow for Dessena - another terrible challenge. Sampdoria have played a cynical second half and they've got their just deserts.
90+1'
Three minutes of added time to be played, but there might as well be none. This one is over.

TOIVONEN! Hutchinson starts a slick move, and Toivonen latches on to the rebound from Berg's shot to tuck away the winning goal!
89'
Hutchinson holds the ball down the right and the Italians can do nothing with the ball in their own half.

No - it's gone from bad to worse - Marilungo off, picking up a second yellow card for dissent when he is given offside. That... was beyond stupid when his side needed him.
88'
News from Metalist Kharkiv's game - 2-1 is the final score and that means that Sampdoria have to score in the next two minutes or so. Can they find one?
87'

CLOSE! Good run from Mannini on the inside - and his ball is a dangerous one, but Marilungo's shot does not find its mark.
86'
Poor ball, cleared straight back out. Dessena jumps for the second cross but Sampdoria have to settle for a throw-in.
85'
Berg brings down Mannini midway into the PSV half. Palombo eyeing up the set piece.
84'

PSV change - Berg replaces Reis in time for the corner.
83'
PSV still look the more dangerous side - Toivonen's run into the box is only stopped at the last minute, and the lively Swede has won a corner.
82'

AGONISING! PSV SO NEARLY IN FRONT! The shot from Dzsudzsak goes through Curci's legs and dribbles towards goal... but so slowly is it rolling that the keeper gets back to it and stops it on the line!
81'
Reis tries a shot from 20 yards on the break but it's no problem for Curci.
80'
The other game in the group - Metalist Kharkiv v Debrecen - has just seen a goal for the hosts. 2-1 to Metalist - and that means Sampdoria have to win or they go out.
79'
PSV are just ten minutes away from qualification for the next round - Sampdoria need to win to stay alive in the competition.
78'
Pieters has to clear as Mannini makes a move down the left hand side. First sign of promise for Sampdoria for a good few minutes.
77'
Nasty little challenge from the substitute Mannini on Afellay - he's only been on the field for a few moments, but looks like he's carrying on Marilungo's scrap.
76'

Mannini replaces Poli as Sampdoria try to regain some momentum for the final quarter of an hour.

Marilungo fells Afellay with a nasty challenge from behind. Sampdoria losing their discipline, and Marilungo gets a card.
