- 90'+3'That's all for now though, goodbye!
- 90'+3'The result means that Villarreal are now in pole position to qualify for the semi-finals, where they'll either face Arsenal or Slavia Prague.
- 90'+3'Villarreal take a narrow 1-0 lead into the second leg after a professional performance in Zagreb. The visitors started brightly as Pedraza had two chances saved by Livakovic, however, the hosts began to grow into the game, Theophile-Catherine missed Zagreb's biggest chance when he headed wide from a corner. Nevertheless, the visitors broke the deadlock just before half time though when Moreno scored from the spot, following a handball from Theophile-Catherine. The second half was a less open affair as the visitors completely stifled Zagreb, and it'll take a mighty effort from the Croatian side to overturn this 1-0 deficit in the second leg.
- 90'+3'FULL TIME: Dinamo Zagreb 0-1 Villarreal
- 90'+2'Moreno scoops Gomez's cross well over from eight yards.
- 90'+1'Three minutes of stoppage time are added.

- 86'Trigueros switches out for Pena after an impressive display in midfield.
- 86'Gomez misses a huge chance as he pokes Moreno's cut-back wide, but the flag is quickly raised to spare his blushes.
- 84'Foyth clumsily knocks over Ivanusec, presenting Zagreb with a promising free-kick 30 yards out. However, the resulting delivery is wastefully clipped straight into the arms of Rulli.
- 82'The second change sees Orsic swap out for Tolic.
- 82'Zagreb make two more changes: firstly, Majer departs for Franjic.
- 80'Villarreal look content to try and nullify Zagreb with possession currently: they're knocking it around without any real intent to score as they try and deny the hosts before the second leg.
- 78'Orsic's long diagonal pass flashes away for a throw-in - the hosts look incredibly tired right now.
- 76'Moreno is booked after a cynical lunge on Ristovski to stop a counter-attack.
- 74'Kastrati is caught offside chasing Theophile-Catherine long pass over the top as Villarreal continue to stifle the hosts.
- 71'Zagreb have struggled to create chances in this half, despite needing to level the scores before the second leg - they've managed just two shots inside the box in the second half.
- 71'Gvardiol makes way for Leovac in defence.
- 69'Chukwueze is replaced by Gomez in attack.

- 61'Zagreb make a double substitution to try and turn the tide: the first change sees Atiemwen head off for Petkovic.

- 57'Good save from Rulli! Gvardiol bursts forward from the back, before driving an angled shot from 20 yards that forces Rulli to acrobatically dive across goal to push it away!
- 56'Villarreal are controlling the early stages of the second half: they've had 61% possession since half time - and it's resulted in a few openings already.
- 54'Alcacer wriggles into the box, before drilling a 12-yard shot at Theophile-Catherine.
- 52'Ademi takes an off-balance shot from 25 yards that skews well wide.
- 45'+3'Villarreal get the second half under way.
- 50'Capoue's 25-yard effort is charged down by Lauritsen.

- 45'+3'Moreno's penalty gives Villarreal a slender lead at the break. This has been an even game with chances for both sides. The visitors started brightly and had two clear chances fall to their left back, Pedraza, inside the opening 20 minutes - only for the defender to be denied by Livakovic. However, Zagreb rallied and had chances of their own through Theophile-Catherine and Orsic.

- 44'MORENO! 1-0! Moreno steps up confidently and sends Livakovic the wrong way before rolling a composed penalty straight down the middle!
- 43'Penalty to Villarreal! Theophile-Catherine blocks Moreno's cross with his hand from point-blank range and the referee decides to award a penalty for handball! Theophile-Catherine was within a yard of Moreno when the cross was hit and it certainly seems like a harsh decision!
- 41'Chukwueze beats Gvardiol for pace near the touchline, but the defender recovers just as the Villarreal winger enters the box to slide in and knock it behind. Parejo's resulting corner is cleared by Lauritsen.
- 39'Zagreb are having their brightest spell of the game so far, and the visitors are simply trying to keep the scoreline level before half time.

- 28'Orsic heads Atiemwen's cross into an empty net, but the goal is immediately called back for offside.
- 26'Despite being deployed at left-back, Pedraza has caused the hosts plenty of problems so far: the defender has already produced two shots on target and a key pass.

- 22'Moreno bundles a low cross a few yards wide of the near post.

- 19'This has been an open game so far. Both teams have tried to avoid taking too many risks going forward, but there have still been chances for both sets of attackers.
- 17'Ivanusec's cross takes an unfortunate flick off his own player - Ademi - allowing Villarreal to clear.
- 15'Moreno latches onto Parejo's throughball and drives to the byline, but Jakic tracks his run and knocks the cross away for a corner. The resulting delivery is blasted well over the bar by Moreno from 12 yards.
- 13'Huge chance for Theophile-Catherine! Majer's corner drifts towards an unmarked Theophile-Catherine at the back of the six-yard box, but the defender wastefully heads it wide of the near post!
- 11'Strong save from Rulli! Majer's 25-yard shot deflects off Torres, forcing Rulli into a scrambling save low to his left, where he tips it around the post!
