And there's the whistle! Chievo are 2-1 victors. Thanks for joining us tonight, follow me on Twitter for post-match discussion and other random sporting musings - @liamhappe

90+4'

Novara get it into the box from the left, but Chievo stand firm and head away.

90+3'

Extended treatment for Drame now. Another Luciano scenario?

90+2'

Sammarco is put through on the counter, but the offside flag goes up. He shoots wide anyway.

90+1'

FOUR minutes of stoppage time. Can the home side rescue a late point? They make a change inside the first of those four with Jeda coming on for skipper Porcari.

90'

Good Novara counter and Porcari volleys a cross in towards Rubino, but the defence get to it first.

89'

An off-balance Rigoni skies one into Row Z from 20 yards.

88'

Jensen looks to pick out fellow replacement Rubino with a long diagonal loft pass, but Acerbi shields it out for a goal kick.

87'

The Brazillian is soon back on his feet to contribute to a failed Chievo attack, so I know which of the two scenarios gets my vote.

86'

Luciano stays down after a foul by Jensen. Really hurt, or playing for time?

85'

Morganella is advanced on the right wing and cuts it back for Jensen! Shot under pressure is off-target!

84'

Hetemaj is replaced by Bostjan Cesar, and Thereau slooooowwwwlly trudges off with Davide Moscardelli coming on.

83'

And now Chievo have two subs ready to come on, their final two to make.

82'

Radovanovic is brought off for Daniel Jensen, signed from Werder Bremen.

81'

Novara are preparing another substitution. I'd imagine an attack-minded one if they fancy themselves to salvage a comeback here.

80'

The forward converted a Rigoni cross from close range as the away side were congratulating themselves on a job well done a little too early, it seems.

79'

MASCARA! Novara pull one back instantly!

78'

And the sub has an assist to his name inside a minute! A well-worked team move capped by Sammarco's ball to Thereau to finish, and Chievo's lead is doubled!

77'

Paolo Sammarco replaces Paloschi in the visitors' first change.

75'

Sardo dispossesses Rigoni but Pellissier's cross is mis-hit.
