Thursday’s premiere European competition returns for another edition tonight as the Europa League quarter-finals take centre stage. Our attention turns to the Lazio vs. Fenerbahce clash – a match to be played behind closed doors after UEFA banned Lazio’s fans for racist behaviour. The Biancocelesti faithful complete a two match suspension tonight, but with the game of utmost importance you wonder whether the home side can overturn a 2-0 first leg defeat without their passionate support.

That's our lot. It's Fenerbahce who progress to the Europa League semi-finals. They defended resolutely throughout, and Erkin's bullet assured they emerged victorious. Over and out.
90+2'
Candreva whips another ball in but it evades Klose and is cleared. Ledesma fires over soon after.
90+1'
Handball by goalscorer Lulic on the edge of the Fenerbahce area. Three minutes of added time, we've played one.
90'
Candreza wins his 1000th foul of the night, but Lazio elect to play it short. They know this tie is beyond them.
89'
Ciani, fresh from being floored, gets up and blazes the ball high and wide. Pure frustration.
88'
Lots of niggling fouls now, Ucan the latest to bring out the referee's whistle as he fouls Ciani.
87'
Welcome to the match, Krasic. Candreva turns him with a great piece of skill and the new boy hauls him to the floor. Escapes a booking.

Final subsitution as goalscorer Erkin is replaced by Milos Krasic.
85'
Lazio's Radu and Ciani bringing the ball out from the back to get more numbers in the opposition half. They can't get through, though.
84'
Candreva continues to cause Fenerbahce problems down the right. This time his cross flies off his right boot out of play, but he easily skipped past two weak challenges to create the space.

Yobo almost lobs his own keeper with a header from twenty yards but the ball bounces narrowly wide. That would have made an interesting last few minutes...
82'
Header tipped over by Demirel. Another dangerous ball from Candreva causing all sorts of problems.

Mehmut Topuz joins the action for Webo, who has barely had a kick. He won't mind though if the scores stay the same.
80'
Joesph Yobo rises above everyone to clear a Lazio corner. 10 minutes for the Turkish side to hold on...
79'
Lazio are still plugging away, but it looks like this game has got away from them tonight. Klose almost latches onto a Lulic cross, but Gonul defends well.
78'
There might only be a handful of Fenerbahce fans but they're in full voice now, waving their distinctive yellow and black flags to taunt the empty blue seats.
77'
Radu fires wide of the Fenerbahce goal after being fed by Hernanes. Lazio need three goals - it looks very unlikely.

Last throw of the Lazio dice as Antonio Rozzi is sent on for Kozak. The striker has worked incredibly hard all match, but his efforts look to be for nothing.
75'
It's slightly undeserved, but Fenerbahce are fifteen minutes away from a historic European semi-final here. Wow.

Fenerbahce find themselves with numbers inside the Lazio box and the ball breaks to Erkin. He dummies brilliantly to create space, before firing a vicious shot beyond Marchetti. I make that their first shot on target. But what an important shot.
