90+2'
The referee blows up and ends a triumphant European evening for Manchester City.
Basel, a team who have historically provided a stumbling block for English sides, provided little difficulty for the bookmakers' favourite in this competition.
90+2'
The pace is slow as both teams ride the final few seconds out.
89'
Gundogan is also booked, presumably for something he said.
89'
There was absolutely no need for that challenge from Die, on a player with an injury history. The ref has a chat and gives him a card.
88'
A brief scuffle breaks out as Die puts in a nasty tackle on Gundogan.
87'
Oberlin plays a dangerous one-two with Frei on the edge of the area, but Otamendi intercepts.
85'
SUB: Danilo replaces Aguero and lyounoussi is replaced by Bua.
84'
This game has been over for a good hour, but City are still knocking on the door.
Vaclik charges to meet Aguero on the right edge of his area, but the ball runs away from the striker. Embarrassment avoided for the goalkeeper.
82'
Sane dances towards the box but his 18-yard shot is blocked.
74'
CHANCE!
Aguero cuts a cross back fromt he left and finds Gundogan in space! His first-time shot is saved by Vaclik, denying the German his hat-trick!
72'
SUB: Ajeti replaces Stocker.
70'
CHANCE!
Oberlin shoots from a free kick 35 yards out and forces an outstretched save form Ederson!
67'
CHANCE!
Elyounoussi beats Bernardo on the edge of the box and charges towards goal. He shoots point-blank at Ederson, but aims straight at the 'keeper, who bats it away!
66'
Aguero, on the penalty spot, lays the ball back to Silva on the edge of the box. He shoots first time and it ends up in row Z.
63'
SUB: De Bruyne is making way for Silva.
61'
Stocker lifts an area ball into the box in a dangerous area, but Kompany does very well to clear the danger.
Basel are still pushing to get something out of tonight.
58'
Xhaka takes a corner. He swings it out and Lacroix attempts a spectacular overhead kick... but he lands flat on his back and not particularly near the ball.
57'
SUB: Sterling is replaced by back-from-injury-very-early Sane.
57'
CHANCE!
Oberlin beats the offside trap down the right channel and attampts a low shot across goal. It rolls a few feet wide of Ederson's post.
53'
GOAL!
It's a beauty from Gundogan!
The German international recieves a square ball from Aguero 20 yards from goal, takes a touch to beat his man and curls one into the top-right corner.
