Eddie Howe's Newcastle United have put past 5 goals in the 1st half itself against Azerbaijani side Qarabag at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium in Baku. Catch all the live action right here.

Vinicius Junior was the central figure in a dramatic 1-0 win for Real Madrid. After scoring a stunning curling goal in the 50th minute, Vini Jr. reported being racially abused by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni.

The match was halted for nearly 10 minutes as the referee activated UEFA’s anti-racism protocol. Amid chaotic scenes, Madrid players briefly threatened to walk off, and Benfica coach Jose Mourinho was later sent off as well for his protests. Despite being struck by objects thrown from the crowd, Vinícius finished the match, securing a vital first-leg lead.

Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Tottenham, Barcelona, Chelsea, Sporting CP and Manchester City - all qualified for the round of 16 after finishing within 8th in the UCL league phase standings.

And we are underway for the first-half of this all important 1st leg of this knockout phase play-offs. Let's see who scores the first goal.

It has been a controlled start for Bodo/Glimt, they haven't looked sloppy at all and have not given Inter much space to penetrate forward. Both the teams have shots 2 each but none were on target.

Outstanding gameplay from Bodo/Glimt as they go in front with a well worked team goal as Sondre Brunstad Fet scores for the Norwegian outfit.

Inter pull one back just minutes after conceding the opening goal of this match as Pio Esposito fired the ball inside from a cross that dropped right in front of him. It has been a highly competitive game so far.

It’s 1-1 at the break in Norway. Sondre Brunstad Fet ignited the home crowd with a 21st-minute strike, but Inter Milan responded through Francesco Pio Esposito, who clinicaly leveled in the 32nd minute. Despite the freezing conditions, both sides have traded blows in a high-tempo, remarkably even first half.

The hosts created a few good chances as the 2nd half began but Inter have looked disjointed at times, especially in defence. Still a long way to go in this game.

Is it game, set and match already? Bodo/Glimt have ran riot against this Inter side, which is looking absolutely clueless at the moment as the Norwegian outfit gains a 2-goal cushion out of nowhere.

Jens Petter Hauge and Kasper Hogh scored in the 61st and 64th minute.

A sense of urgency to spark a comeback has intensified over the last couple of minutes for Inter Milan who are keeping it calm and throwing bodies inside the Bodo/Glimt box to find the back of the net.

Bodo/Glimt can be proud of their efforts and for the way they played against Inter Milan who looked absolutely lifeless tonight. Their structured gameplay did not cause any trouble to the free flowing style of Bodo. The Norwegians will visit the San Siro Stadium with a 3-1 lead.
