Highlights

90+4'

That's full time. Embarrassing for West Ham and Bilic, who started well against Astra but promptly threw the match away with indiscipline and perhaps a lack of fitness. They go into the return leg a manager and potentially several players down.

90+1'

RED CARD! Bilic has been sent off after saying the wrong thing to the referee. Four red cards in five matches for West Ham in this tournament.

90'

There will be three minutes of added time. Payet is booked after getting involved in a row between Maiga and Alves, with Alves cross for Maiga for a possible dive.

87'

Dandea replaces Boldrin.

86'

West Ham are struggling to hit back, and with a few minutes to go, West Ham might have appeared to have thrown away the game.

81'

GOAL! West Ham 2-2 FC Astra - Ogbonna scores an own goal. A ball in looped into the box, and Ogbonna leaps towards it and it skims off his shin and over Adrian.

80'

Cresswell is booked for kicking the ball away. West Ham deal with a corner, and then an Alves cross, and they have a goal kick with Adrian now.

78'

About 12 minutes of normal time for West Ham to hold on.

76'

De Amorim is off for Astra, replaced by Florea, and Jarvis replaces Zarate.

74'

Oxford anticipates a moment of danger with a ball towards the box, and deals with it calmly. At 16, that's impressive.

71'

GOAL! West Ham 2-1 FC Astra. Boldrin scores - he has room for a shot from 25 yards, and fizzes in a strike against the underside of the bar.

67'

Budescu has a shot from 30 yards with predictable consequences.

63'

Oxford, now at centre-back, performs a diving header to concede a corner from a cross, and then Astra win another. Noble clears off the line after a Bodrin shoots, with West Ham risking their position.

61'

The Astra manager is starting to lose it. There's a vague simmer on the pitch right now.

58'

RED CARD! Collins tugs Budescu, making a run forward, and Budescu goes down without reservation, and Collins has put his team at risk for no reason.

57'

Budescu, after revenge, kicks Payet up the backside. He's annoyed by Collins' foul, and also because he's two down. Hughes on Tuttle, not quite, but a memorable one.

56'

Lung rushes out now to deny Zarate, who had just made an excellent run into the box.

54'

Colllins is booked for a challenge on Budescu, a late one rather than a terrible one.

53'

Enache is booked for lashing out at Kouyate in midfield.

51'

GOAL! West Ham 2-0 Astra. Zarate scores - He bursts into the area, using excellent close control, skips past some challenges and then slides into a shot, to put it beneath Lung.
