35'

Gaitan takes the ball on the run and leaves a leg in as he races past Kuyt. Again there are huge calls for a decision from the ref, but again he says no.

34'

Perez booked for Benfica.

33'

A corner for Benfica results in a goalmouth melee and huge appeals for handball. The ref says no to a spot-kick and is about to brandish another card for the loud protests.

32'

Cardozo meets a right-wing cross with a spectacular volley from a tight angle. Decent effort that flies just wide.

31'

Cristian booked for Fener - he too will miss the final if they make it to Amsterdam.

30'

Cristian plays in the marauding Sow down the right and he beats the offside trap to race in on goal before toe-poking well wide at the near post. A real waste.

29'

Pereira booked and will miss the final if Benfica make it.

28'

Sow gets away in the inside right channel and hits a shot across goal that Artur is forced to react smartly to keep out.

27'

Pereira winds up the right foot and hammers one high into the stand. The away team will take that all day.

26'

Benfica have completely lost their swagger now and it's the visitors who look calm and composed.

25'

Kuyt's goal means the tie cannot go to extra-time. We will have a winner inside 90 minutes. Benfica need three now.

24'

Massive, massive moment for the Turkish team. It looked like a soft penalty as Kuyt's flick on hit Garay on the arm at close quarters. The referee decided it was a spot-kick and it has changed the entire complexion of the game.

23'

GOAL! Fener level it up! KUYT tucks home the penalty. The man for the big occasion does it again. 1-1 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate to Fenerbahce.

22'

PENALTY to Fenerbahce!

21'

A spell of some much-needed possession for the Turkish outfit....

20'

Fener trying to put a first real attack of the match together but it's not happening. Kuyt attempts to spread the play and arrows a pass out for a throw. They need to find their feet fast or Benfica will run riot.

19'

Fener fans will be lamenting those missed chances last week even more now. THREE times they hit the woodwork. And now it's all Benfica and all-square in the tie.

18'

Maxi Pereira is given the freedom of the right flank once again and he whips in a cross for Cardozo to head just wide under pressure.

17'

A Benfica free-kick is dinked back into the area by Salvio for Luisao who gets his header all wrong. The Brazilian needed to nod that back across goal and it would have been a major problem for the away team. Instead they breathe a sigh of relief with a goal kick.

16'

STAT ALERT: Benfica's record in eight games against Turkish clubs is W3 D2 L3 (W3 D0 L1 at home – W0 D2 L2 in Turkey).

15'

The duo are back on their feet and play resumes with Benfica on the front foot.
