The corner is wasted as the hosts give away a free kick. Felgueiras sends it up the park and the referee blows his whistle. It finishes 1-1. Thank you for joining us tonight.

Anywhere will do for the Romanians at the minute. They're nearly there. Galatasaray have a corner.

Burak Yilmaz should score. Selcuk's set-piece somehow finds the substitute who takes a great touch on the right of the penalty area before drilling his effort into the side netting. The flag was up anyway...

We'll have three minutes of stoppage time. Can the visitors, who have been so resilient in this second, hold out for a draw?
89'
Felipe Melo sees his name in lights as he attempts an overhead kick from the edge of the penalty area. The Brazilian catches it all wrong and the ball nearly goes out for a throw-in.
87'
Amrabat brushes off a number of challenges on the left to find Riera. The Spaniard lofts the ball into the penalty area but it's too near the keeper.
86'
Selcuk is pulled to the floor but the referee waves play on. Muresan leads the breakaway and opts to try and lob Muslera from the halway line. The keeper reads it and is back on his line to save.
85'
The Romanian side still have not had an effort on target all night. They could do with a spell of possession in these closing five minutes if they hope to hold out for a vital point.
84'
Anti-climax. Selcuk sends the ball some way over the penalty area from the edge of the penalty area. Shocking effort, really. The keeper needs to be worked there.
83'
Nicoara gives away a very silly free kick right on the edge of the penalty area. He's not done a great deal since he came on, Nicoara, and could now have contributed to his side's downfall.
82'
Amrabat does well again down the left to earn his side another corner. It's taken quickly as they search for a winner.
81'
Amrabat sends in another wicked cross that is met by the head of Bulut. It’s not a great connection, however, as the ball loops into the arms of Felgueiras.
80'
Cluj enjoy a moment of possession for the first time in this second half but a poor pass from substitute Muresan gives the ball back to the hosts.
79'
The momentum is very much with Galatasaray now and, if I were a betting man, I’d put my money on the hosts to grab a second.
78'
The atmosphere has completely changed inside the stadium now. The home crowd are making a lot of nopise. Gabriel Muresan replaces Kapetanos as Ioan Andone introduces some fresh legs.

GOAL FOR GALATASARAY!! You've got to say they deserve it. They've been knocking on the door and they're now level. Amrabat picks up the ball down on the left wing and sends a dangerous cross into the box. Burak Yilmaz rises highest to powerfully head home.
75'
Galatasaray are awarded another corner. Selcuk sends in another ball which is dealt with by Pinto. Felgueiras comes for it but is completely out of his depth.
74'
Sarioglu goes into the book for giving the linesman an earful. The Turk is pleading to be awarded a corner but, upon watching the replay, the ball definitely came of the substitute.
73'
There are currently six Galatasaray players camped in the Cluj penalty area. Riera whips in another ball but it doesn’t fall to any of them.

The rain has started to come down heavily again. Rafael Bastos is taken off as Viorel Nicoara, who is surely going to spend the next 20 minutes at the heart of defence, comes on.
