AJAX 0-1 BENFICA - DARWIN NUNEZ HEADER STUNS HOSTS TO SEND BENFICA INTO CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER-FINALS

Tadic's cross finds Alvarez who attacks it, but he is off balance as he goes for it and his header flies over the bar. The Ajax midfielder has come closest to opening the scoring so far with his two opportunities.

Weigl nods behind an Ajax free-kick and the hosts have another corner. Berghuis plays it short but it is immediately intercepted. Ajax are camped inside Benfica's half at the moment.

Referee Del Cerro gives Nunez a warning after he catches Martinez with a high boot. No card is issued.

Mazraoui's cross into the box deflects behind for a corner. This time Alvarez meets it but his header near the penalty spot crashes off the turf and bounces out for a goal-kick.

Haller has the ball in the net, but it will not count as Tadic is offside as he picked the ball up in the box and squares for the former West Ham striker to tap in.

Benfica have committed plenty of men forward and it has allowed Ajax to break but Mazraoui's cross is a poor one and is comfortably dealt with.

Berghuis wins Ajax their first corner of the match. Gravenberch plays it short and its worked to Berghuis, but his cross is cleared away. It comes out to Tadic who crosses into the box and Antony meets it at the far post, but he cannot make a clean connection with his header and it bounces out for a goal-kick.

We are underway!

Both sides are out on the pitch at the Johan Cruyff Arena and it is absolutely rocking! The Champions League anthem is blaring out and kick-off is just moments away!

"I don't think it's today the issue," Ten Hag responded when asked if he was ready to move abroad. "It's about today's game. I focus on that and I don't pay attention to any other subjects. I only focus on Ajax v Benfica"

"We have a fantastic home record," Ajax boss Erik ten Hag told BT Sport pre-match. "We won all three of our home games in the group stage. We won here last year in the Europa League. We beat opponents like Lille and Young Boys. We know what to do and it's about what you bring on the pitch."

It ended all square between Benfica and Ajax after a four-goal thriller at the Estadio da Luz.

Ajax have made one change to the side that played Benfica in the first leg. Andre Onana is back in goal, taking the place of Remko Pasveer who has a broken finger. Benfica's lineup is unchanged.
