RB Leipzig 1-0 Sporting CP
Sporting have thrown on Viktor Gyokeres as they look to get back into the game. He's the man they will want the ball to fall to in the final half hour or so.

Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 Brest
It could be 3 for the home side! Only a strong save from Bizot prevents Shakhtar going 3-0 up against the Ligue 1 side, who are seeing their hopes of automatic qualification slip away...

DISALLOWED GOAL! RB Leipzig 1-0 Sporting CP (Raum)
Leipzig think they have doubled their lead but VAR rules it out for offside!
It's an excellent finish from fullback David Raum.
The creator of Leipzig's first goal latches onto a crossfield pass before his first touch takes him back inside, allowing him to curl a right-footed effort into the far corner!
But after a pitchside review the referee rules it out for Lois Openda being offside in the buildup.
Sporting survive...
