Join us for live minute-by-minute coverage of the Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham of the Europa Le, including goals and more

END OF THE MATCH AT DEUTSCHE BANK PARK!!!!

Tottenham's defense clears it...

Yellow card for Romero, apparently for entering the field without permission, after leaving to be treated.

A free kick from the side, Santos goes up to finish...it could be one of the last for the home side...

Time is up, but two more minutes will be added after this last interruption.

Yellow card for Theate for getting into a fight with Romero upon getting up, accusing him of possibly wasting time.

Romero remains lying on the turf, seemingly a little shaken up... or trying to squeeze seconds out of injury time in search of a place in the semi-finals, which Spurs now see as imminent.

Ninth corner for Eintracht, with Tottenham's entire team boxed in, defending. The ball is lost without a finisher.

Five minutes of extra time, play will continue until the 95th minute.

Time and again, balls are being sent into the box, looking for Kristensen, who is overtaking Udogie, looking for the extensions to the center of the six-yard box for the shot by Ekitiké or Wahi.

Out!!! Ekitiké's header from a corner goes wide. Eintracht are now bombarding the London area in search of the goal that would send us to extra time.

Curiously, both coaches have used up their substitution windows, but not all available substitutions; Toppmoller made four substitutions, and Postecoglou three. It's worth remembering that both had to use up their first substitution window in the first half due to a forced substitution due to injury.

Third and final change for Tottenham: Danso replaces Brennan Johnson.

And another arrival from the Danish full-back, who shot inside the area, although this time his weak shot was not dangerous.

Eintracht are having their chances, especially with Kristenssen's runs at the far post for crosses from the left wing.

Out there!!!! Kristenssen's left-footed shot from a clear position at the far post, just inside the box. The Dane tried to place it just inside the post, but it went wide.

Second change for Tottenham: Mathys Tel makes way for Pape Sarr. The Frenchman put in a strong performance, one of the most incisive in Spurs' attack.

And Knauff takes Brown's place.

Double change for Eintracht, which is running out of substitution windows: Wahi replaces Larsson.

Out there!!!!!! Kristenssen's header goes wide of the post.

Good minutes now for Tottenham, maintaining possession for a little longer and entering Santos' area more frequently.

The game resumed with another corner kick awarded to Tottenham, but without any consequences.

A penalty was called for a possible foul by Romero on Ekitiké. The French forward touched the ball and fell due to possible contact with the Argentine's foot. The referee, very close to the incident, didn't call anything, and it doesn't appear that VAR will review it.

Three shots on goal per team, although in total shots, the visitors win by 7 to 10.

Bentancurrrr!!!! Another header from a corner that Tottenham managed to finish. The Argentine's well-positioned header went just over the bar.

Tel!!! Several defensive clearances ended with the ball at Tel's feet, who cut inside from the left corner of the box and looked to curl a shot with his right foot. This time it went high.

Tottenham's 5th corner of the match. Pedro Porro will be the one to take it.

Well, just like in the first half...Eintracht dominates the ball and the game more, but Tottenham are the ones posing the greatest danger with the little they have coming in.

The attacking team managed to finish off its first set piece. Eintracht narrowly escaped.

Romero!!! Cuti Romero came close to making it two! The Argentine center-back's powerful header from a corner went just wide of Santos' left post.

Kulusevskiiii!!! A dangerous attack from Tottenham now, with the left-footer shooting from inside the six-yard box, albeit at a very wide angle and with little room for space. His shot was blocked by the defense, sending the ball out for a corner.

Second change for Eintracht: Bahoya leaves the match and Can Uzun comes on.

Kristensen receives a yellow card for tripping Udogie. If he qualifies, this yellow card will rule him out of the first leg of the semi-finals.

Six fouls per team in a closely contested and tight match up to this point. This reflects the evenness of the match, with each team winning 50/50.

Just like in the first half, Eintracht came out dominant, playing in the opponent's half and not letting Tottenham get out.

UUUUUUYYYYYY!!!!! What a free kick from Chaibi from far away!!! It grazed the post with Vicario already far from reaching it.

Corner for Eintracht, taken short and the subsequent cross into the box is cleared by Romero.

THE SECOND PART STARTS IN FRANKFURT!!!!

END OF THE FIRST HALF AT DEUTSCHE BANK PARK!!!!

The first half ended with Tottenham leading by a narrow margin (0-1) thanks to Solanke's penalty in the final minutes of the first half. The first half was very even, with few clear-cut scoring chances.

Yellow card Brennan Price Johnson

Another corner for Eintracht, their fourth of the match, and another defensive clearance, prevailing over the attacks from set pieces.

Six minutes of extra time, we'll go to the 51st minute of the first half.

First change for Tottenham: Kulusevski replaces Maddison, who has gone off injured.

Maddison is back on the ground, and Tottenham are asking for a substitution. He appears to have not recovered from the collision with the goalkeeper in the penalty shootout.

Penalty goal Dominic Ayodele Solanke-Mitchell

TOTTENHAM TOOK THE LEAD JUST BEFORE HALFTIME AFTER SOLANKE CONVERTED THE PENALTY, FOOLING SANTOS BY FLYING IT INTO THE MIDDLE. THE GOALKEEPER DIVED TO HIS LEFT.

He sees the yellow card for the action Santos.

PENALTY FAVORABLE TO TOTTENHAM!!!!

The Italian action will be reviewed...

Phew! Santos and Maddison collide in the box. The visitors appeal for a penalty, and the assistants come out to assist both players. Maddison heads the ball at goal, and Santos arrives a second late, blocking the shot but overwhelming the English player, who may be slightly shaken.

There were six corners in total, and none found a finisher in the box. In a tie as close as this one seems, perhaps a set piece will ultimately decide the game.

And again, a defensive clearance to neutralize the dangerous action.

Udogie, Tottenham's most persistent attacker so far, makes another run, and his shot bounces off a defender and goes out for a corner. It will be the visitors' third of the match.

Tottenham's second corner, which the German defense headed clear. Maddison and Betancur were poorly involved in the match, and Spurs felt it.

Tottenham's possessions are very short, unable to break out of the Germans' high press after losing possession. Possession is very evenly distributed (52% to 48% for the home side).

Minutes of Eintracht siege on Vicario's area, with multiple crosses from the sides, which the Spurs defense is defending well.

And again, the German forwards are out of bounds without finding a shot. Little has been done so far from set pieces.

Bentancur's poor clearance in the box after a curled throw-in went wide. The hosts took their third corner.

Tottenham's first shot on goal, with three for the home side, although this was undoubtedly the most dangerous of all.

Tel's shot from the edge of the box and what a fantastic save from Santos! A great right-footed shot to the far post, with spin and a great dive from the Brazilian goalkeeper to deflect it for a corner, which will be the visitors' first.

A header from newly substitute Chaibi, following a cross from the right, came out in the middle and Vicario easily caught it.

Second corner in favor of Germany, the dangerous play is lost without a shot.

It's raining heavily in Frankfurt, although the pitch looks fantastic. Deutsche Bank Park is packed.

Johnson's run down the right and his cross into the box is finished off with a first-time effort by Tel, who half-missed... weakly into Santos' hands. Tottenham's first warning of the match.

This could be a significant loss for the home side, who will miss the passing skills of the veteran German player, who appears to have retired with a muscle problem in his right leg.

Substitution Mario Götze Farès Chaïbi

Ekitikéee's first clear chance! A good pass into space and a run from the Frenchman, challenging Van de Ven, who finally manages to get ahead of himself and prevent the striker's comfortable shot. The ball ends up in Vicario's hands.

Mario Gotze is injured, holding his hand to the back of his right thigh. There are no substitutions for the moment, and he remains on the pitch.

A very hard-fought match, with tight possessions and strong defensive pressures that make fluid ball circulation very difficult.

Tottenham is playing, and the home captain is returning to the match. Tottenham has barely made it into the opponent's half so far.

He leaves on his own two feet and apparently recovered.

Koch is lying on the turf after a collision with Solanke in midfield. He took a serious blow to the face, and the assistants come in to treat him.

Brown takes a shot from the left, clears it first time, and Gotze fires the ball in from the edge of the box into Vicario's hands. Eintracht takes the lead at the start.

A free kick taken by Gotze was cleared by the London defender for a corner, the first of the match.

Attempt saved. Jean-Mattéo Bahoya (Eintracht Frankfurt) left footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the bottom right corner. Assisted by Mario Götze.

First arrival for the locals!! 1 Cross from the left, and Bahoya's shot, soft into Vicario's hands.
