Galatasaray vs Schalke 04, 1st Leg

1. Thanks for joining us for, and don't forget there will be more action tomorrow for the Europa League including Liverpool, Newcastle, Tottenham and Chelsea.

2. 90'

   FULL TIME: An enthralling game finishes even. Schalke will be delighted to come away from Gala on an even keel, a real platform to build on for the second leg.

3. 90'

   Eboue's persistence forces the ball into the penalty area from the right wing but Drogba's run is blocked off and Hildebrand gathers.

4. 90'

   Farfan breaks down the right but an extra touch takes the ball away from him, it is good to see them still trying to steal the second away goal deep into added time.

5. 90'

   Gala go direct to Drogba again, but again it is cut out easily.

6. 90'

   A late challenge from Yilmaz leaves Jones in pain on the floor, the Turk caught the top of his boot.

7. 90'

   Three minutes of added time to be played.

8. 90'

   Kolasinac plays a neat one-two with Pukki and powers his way into the Gala penalty area but he is tackled and the ball trickles away.

9. 89'

   A desperate effort from Jones clears the goal by a long way. With time running out the goalscorer thought he would try his luck a second time. Why not?

10. 88'

    The ball is directed at Drogba, again, but he is outjumped and Schalke come clear.

11. 86'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Hoger drags Amrabat to the floor and receives a yellow card.

12. 84'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Draxler makes way for Barnetta. Great shift from Draxler tonight, one of Schalke's stand out players, at the centre of so much of their good work.

13. 83'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Sabri departs to be replaced by Bulut. Third and final change for Gala.

14. 82'

    Drogba looks like he may be tiring as he clutches his shoulder. He has put in a good shift for the hosts tonight.

15. 81'

    A dangerous swing from Amrabat on the edge of his own penalty area sends the ball up in the air but the jeopardy is averted as he controls the ball on its return to Earth and clears ably.

16. 80'

    As it enters the final throes this game is opening up again and chances are being created.

17. 79'

    Sabri fires a fizzing effort from distance but Hildebrand manages to tip it over the bar. Another effort gone.

18. 78'

    Drogba, strong and accurate, wins the aerial battle and directs the ball into the path of Yilmaz but his effort glances wide. Great opportunity wasted.

19. 77'

    Increasingly Gala are going long and direct towards Drogba, who is responding well, but the Schalke defence have prepared for this threat and aren't phased.

20. 75'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Teemu Pukki is on to replace Huntelaar, that wayward effort his last action of the night.

21. 74'

    Draxler immediately shows Gala how it is done, taking advantage of Riera's bad defending and flashes a low ball across goal but Huntelaar's shot is over by a mile.

22. 73'

    For all the ball they have had Hildebrand in the Schalke goal has not had an awful lot to do, the visitors have been comfortable.

23. 73'

    The sustained spell of possession is undone by a poor touch from Melo, but not to worry, Schalke are equally sloppy and hand the ball straight back.

24. 72'

    The pressure doesn't pay off and Schalke clear but only as far as midway into their own half for another Gala throw.

25. 71'

    A succession of Eboue throw-ins on the right hand side has allowed Gala to work their way up the field and into the area and eventually win a corner.
