- 90'+8'That's all from the Johan Cruijff ArenA today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
- 90'+8'Victory extends Benfica's unbeaten run to eight matches in all competitions, and after winning only one of their last 14 away Champions League matches before this one - qualifying excluded - they reach the last eight of Europe's elite competition.
- 90'+8'Always a concern for any side which dominates a two-legged tie without establishing a lead, Ajax slip out of the Champions League to a steadfast Benfica side that defended stoutly and struck from a second-half set-piece. As the game wore on, it became clear that the Eredivisie outfit were merely retreading the same paths, while their Portuguese rivals seemed content to hope for a lucky break, a counter, or even a penalty shootout. Such drama wasn't required, though, as Nunez capitalised on Onana's error to send the Eagles flying into the quarter-finals.
- 90'+8'FULL-TIME: AJAX 0-1 BENFICA
- 90'+7'Chasing through the centre, with the Ajax defence stranded upfield, Yaremchuk runs out of steam and fails to get a shot off from the edge of the box before being blocked. That would have finished it once and for all!
- 90'+6'Ten Hag makes a last roll of the dice, as Timber comes off and Kudus comes on.
- 90'+4'Gravenberch has also been booked in the aftermath of his challenge on Yaremchuk.
- 90'+4'After Gravenberch thunders into Yaremchuk with a hefty challenge, Blind complains when the Benfica forward goes down - too heatedly for the referee's liking: that's a yellow card.
- 90'+3'In the third of seven indicated stoppage-time minutes, Ajax build another patient attack by switching the ball around hopefully, but Benfica's black shirts stand firm.
- 90'+1'Having just picked up a knock, Gilberto is taken off; Lazaro comes on to help Benfica see out stoppage time.
- 90'+6'Substitution - In20 - Mohammed KudusSubstitution - Out2 - Jurriën TimberTen Hag makes a last roll of the dice, as Timber comes off and Kudus comes on.
