71'
THE GAME IS FIZZING OUT
David Moyes needs to make a change because as it stands West Ham are bowing out of the Europa League without a fight.
68'
FRANKFURT HOLDING WEST HAM
Despite having the man advantage, Frankfurt have been far from convincing and are lacking ideas going forward, but they remain in control.

HAMMERS TAKING MORE RISKS
With nothing to lose, West Ham are becoming more adventurous and are committing more players forward in search of what would be a huge goal in this tie.

WEST HAM CHANCE
The Hammers are showing they can get at Frankfurt's defence. Antonio stands up a cross into the box and Dawson of all people attack it but it's straight down the throat of Trapp.
58'
OFF TARGET
Kostic is frequently getting forward for Frankfurt - but without producing any meaningful results. The full-back's shot from distance fails to test the West Ham goalkeeper.
57'
CLOSE!
Much better from West Ham. Bowen attacks down the right flank, he sprays a low ball across the face of goal in search of Antonio... but Toure makes a vital interception.
55'
ANOTHER NEARLY MOMENT
The advanced Kostic is released on the overlap, he has plenty of Frankfurt team mates in the middle but overcooks his cross.
For all of their possession and pressure, Frankfurt have flattered to deceive in an attacking sense.
52'
FRANKFURT IN CONTROL
West Ham need two goals but they're sitting deep and still chasing shadows. Very difficult to imagine anything other than a comfortable Frankfurt win at this stage.

SHOT!
Borre takes a touch to set himself up for an ambitious volley and he hits it well but it's relatively comfortable for Areola. That's only Frankfurt's second attempt at goal.

THE SECOND HALF BEGINS
Frankfurt are just 45 minutes away from claiming their place in Seville on May 18. West Ham are going to have to dig deep - really deep - to change what looks like the hosts' destiny.

HALF-TIME: FRANKFURT LEAD 3-1 ON AGGREGATE
Ten-man West Ham need two goals just to take this tie into extra-time. It now looks Mission Impossible for David Moyes' side.

FOUR MINUTES ADDED ON
West Ham are enjoying their best spell of the game just before the break.

OFF THE LINE!
Bowen gets plenty of whip on his free-kick, no one can get on the end of it and it looks goalbound until Ndicka scrambles it off the line!

YELLOW CARD
Ndicka goes into the book for a foul on Antonio and West Ham will have a rare opportunity to attack from the resulting free-kick.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?
It has to be said, West Ham are chasing shadows and are becoming increasingly tired. Can't be easy with just 10 men.
40'
FRANKFURT ON TOP
The hosts are pushing for a second goal and that would surely completely kill West Ham's spirits. Vital the visitors don't concede again before half-time.
37'
IMPORTANT TACKLE
Johnson makes a perfectly-timed challenge to stop the run of Knauff, who is causing plenty of problems down West Ham's left.
35'
ELSEWHERE...
Much better news for Rangers in Glasgow as two early goals have seen the Scottish giants take control of their Europa League semi-final second leg with RB Leipzig...
33'
MATCH-CHANGING MOMENT
West Ham are now playing with a 4-4-1 formation. How must Cresswell be feeling in the dressing room? Frankfurt had looked nervy in the opening stages and I think the raucous atmosphere the fans were making only added to the pressure they were feeling. But the red card has changed everything.
