90+4'
And that's your lot. The referee blows for full-time and Liverpool will need to overturn a 1-0 deficit when the battle resumes at Anfield this time next week. Thanks for joining me, the full match report will be up shortly.
90'
Kaka with what looks like a deliberate elbow on Carroll. He gets away with it, but Carroll requires treatment. He's going to be OK. And a substitution to report - Cesar off, Barbosa on.
88'
Braga are having the better of the final few minutes here. They'll be four minutes of stoppage time.
87'
Liverpool have a free-kick in a central position, 30 yards out. Meireles lays it off for Johnson...but his shot is easily blocked by the wall.
86'
Carragher looks for Carroll in the box, but this time the big man can't quite get himself in the right position.
84'
Meireles sends over a cross from the right and it goes through the box and out to the opposite flank.
83'
Alan tries to link up with Viani, but the return pass is short.
82'
Johnson with space on the left. He sends over a low cross, but it deflects into the arms of Artur in the Braga goal.
81'
Kuyt is still working furiously up front for Liverpool - closing down every time Braga defenders are in possession.
80'
Carroll appeals for a foul by the touchline, but the referee is having none of it.
79'
Whistles already from the Braga crowd. Are they willing full-time or simply protesting their team's performance in the second half.
77'
Liverpool go route one. Carroll heads on to Kuyt, who heads on to...nobody.
76'
Another change for Braga. Lima is replaced by Albert Meyong.
75'
Good work from Lucas in midfield to win Liverpool possesion. Carroll calls for a ball forward, but Liverpool give it away cheaply.
74'
Liverpool won't be too upset if it stays at 1-0. You'd fancy them to advance at Anfield.
73'
Lovely feet by Cesar in the Liverpool box, but Kyrgiakos eventually clears for Liverpool.
72'
Braga win a corner. Viana swings in a dangerous ball and Reina can only parry it over the bar for another one.
71'
Kuyt dispossessed on the halfway line and Braga clear.
70'
Defensive change that for Braga. They clearly sense an upped threat from the Carroll-infused Liverpool.
69'
Braga make a change. Mossoro is replaced by Paulao.
