Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Apoel Nicosia in match day six of the Champions League group stages. Spurs may have already sealed their place in the latter stages of the competition but have endured a tough run domestically and Mauricio Pochettino's out of form side could do with a morale-boosting victory.

RELIEF
33'
Apoel are enjoying a spell of possession now, but they can't create an opening. Aloneftis tries to pick out a team mate with a low cross but Sanchez clears.
32'
OFF THE MARK
31'
A long ball over the top of the Spurs defence almost releases Ebecilio but Rose does enough to put the Apoel forward off his stride.
30'
Again Rose lifts a cross into the danger area but only Llorente is in the Apoel penalty box and the visitors survive.
29'
Alli tries a clever back heel to find Nkoudou but it is intercepted. It is only a matter of time before Spurs recover possession though. There is just no way out for Apoel at the moment.
27'
Llorente is afforded far too much space to float a cross into the Apoel box. Sissoko rises highest but fails to generate the power needed to beat Perez who catches with ease.
26'
Rose receives the ball on the overlap but his low cross is poor and easily dealt with by the visitors.
25'
Llorente is left unmarked at the corner but he can't quite reach the corner delivery and Apoel scramble the ball clear.
24'
Spurs spread the ball wide to Nkoudou who shows quick feet as he attempts to go past his marker but can only win a corner.
22'
It has only taken him 17 appearances...
21'
As it stands, Dortmund will finish third in Group H. Apoel will now need at least a draw, but Spurs are in total control and will be in no mood to surrender their lead.
20'
GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Apoel.
Llorente is off the mark for Spurs with a well taken goal. Aurier's low cross is slightly behind the Spaniard, but he controls beautifully with his right foot to kill the ball and stabs it home with his left.

18'
The corner finds Foyth at the near post, but the Spurs man cannot direct his header on target.
17'
Aurier curls an inviting ball across the Apoel six-yard box towards Llorente. It isn't half convincing by Apoel but Perez does enough to turn it behind for a Spurs corner.
16'
Spurs are dominating possession but they are playing at a snail's pace. Apoel are content to sit deep and defend their way to a nil-nil draw.
14'
There are quite a number of empty seats at Wembley, but the visiting supporters are making enough noise for both sets of fans.
13'
And now Cristiano Ronaldo makes it 2-0 at the Bernabeu. Apoel will be desperate to cling on to a priceless point at Wembley this evening.
10'
Real Madrid are now 1-0 up at home to Borussia Dortmund in the other game in Group H. Obviously Spurs still remain top, but as it stands Apoel will claim the Europa League spot.
8'
OFF THE LINE!
Winks' free-kick delivery causes major panic in the visitors' penalty box as his cross meets the head of Llorente. The goalkeeper makes a good stop and then it is simply brilliant defending by Rueda as the Apoel defender blocks N'Koudou's shot on the line! Sanchez then glances his header wide.
6'
Son makes a late run into the box untracked and latches onto Llorente's knock down. However, Apoel's skipper nips in at the crucial moment to take the ball off his toe.
