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.

35'

Another wave of Lazio pressure, building nicely from the back, results in Kozak winning a corner.

34'

Another Lazio shot flies wide. Kozak must have annoyed his teammates in the week, no one wants to pass to him.

33'

Wasted. Hernanes shoots low and strikes the wall. Probably should have floated it over the wall...

32'

Ederson cuts in from the left wing again but before he has a chance to pull the trigger he is fouled by Cristian. Unsurprisingly we see the game's second booking. Good chance this...

31'

Reto Ziegler goes into the book for refusing to give the ball back. Somewhat childish, but it did prevent a Lazio break.

30'

Half an hour in and Fenerbahce will be very happy with their evening's work.

29'

Hernanes unleashes a shot from distance but it hits Joseph Yobo and the chance is gone. Lazio have had a few sights from distance when a pass may have been the better option.

28'

Webo is outnumbered four to one in the Lazio penalty area and the ball is inevitably cleared. Remember, if Fenerbahce score Lazio need four.

27'

Lulic breaks down the left again and delivers a great low cross to the edge of the area which is met by Candreva. His volley flies narrowly over the bar. Better from the home side.

26'

Kozak attempts to latch onto a pass down the right but it's too long and drifts harmlessly out of play.

25'

The corner flies in low. Too low, it doesn't clear the first man. Lazio yet to create a big chance.

24'

Ederson wins a throw in deep inside the opposition half. They work it well and force a corner.

23'

Oh dear. Awful cross from Webo on the right wing when he had plenty of time. There weren't many options in the middle so he probably should have held onto it.

22'

Lulic breaks down the left and gets the ball into the box. After a bit of head tennis amongst the Fenerbahce back four, the ball is cleared.

21'

Raul Meireles strikers from thirty yards but the ball sails high into the stands. Unfortunately that is where it will remain as there is no fan in sight to fetch it...

20'

Fenerbahce keeping the ball around the halfway line but are struggling to make any ground in the Lazio half.

19'

I wonder what both managers will be thinking as we near the halfway point of the first half? Lazio have had a few sights from distance, but Fenerbahce do look susceptible to players running at them.

18'

Fenerbahce appear to have weathered that early Lazio storm and are starting to look composed on the ball. Erkin is involved in most of their forward pressure.

17'

This atmosphere is really strange. The few Fenerbahce fans in the ground are trying their best, but it has the feel of a training ground exercise.

16'

Fenerbahce win the ball back inside the Lazio half, but a shot from distance comes to nothing.

15'

A short corner is worked to Hernanes, who elects to run with the ball into the box rather than cross. He shoots high over the bar from a tight angle. Should have crossed it.
