Tottenham are losing!
32'
Leicester move the ball to the right, with Albrighton's cross blocked by Insue.

29'
So close! Livaja pounces after a mix-up in the Leicester defence between Morgan and Fuchs. Bearing down on goal, the AEK forward drags his shot agonisingly wide of Schmeichel's far post. They should be level.
27'
Great stop! Schmeichel has to be alert to tip Livaja's bullet header over the bar! Leicester were calling for offside and although it was close, the AEK forward was just on.
26'
Ansarifard is tripped by Fofana, giving AEK a free-kick on the right flank.
25'
Leicester are carving the home side's defence open at will. That was a huge chance for Under to get his first goal for the club, but in fairness it was an impressive save by Tsintotas, who hurt himself in the process.
23'
A chance for another one! Leicester are threatening to run riot! Maddison feeds Vardy, who ushers through Under. Tsintotas narrows the angle and makes a huge save to deny Leicester their second!
21'
Yellow card! Mantolos goes into the book for a foul on Maddison, who is proving a handful.
18'
GOAL! AEK Athens 0-1 Leicester (Jamie Vardy, pen): Not the most of convincing of spot-kicks from Vardy as Tsintotas gets a hand to it, but he can't keep it out! Leicester are ahead!

17'
Penalty to Leicester! Maddison slips a through ball into the path of Vardy. The goalkeeper rushes off his line and catches the Leicester forward. Stonewall penalty!
16'
Just wide! The best chance of the evening falls to Maddison, who smashes a low shot, searching for the bottom corner, from 25 yards. It's just wide.
15'
The visitors fail to clear their lines from the corner delivery. Helder Lopes feeds it back into the danger area with a cushioned header but Schmeichel can let it go for a goal-kick.
14'
Leicester are appealing for offside as AEK build another attack down the right. The referee allows play to continue and Choudhury concedes another corner.
13'
Gaitan has doubled Braga's lead against Zorya.
12'
Tielemans switches off at a throw-in and Mantalos spins away into space, volleying a shot over the bar. That was another half-chance for AEK.
10'
Leicester are really struggling to keep a hold of possession in the early stages. Albrigton is culpable this time of conceding the ball, as Mantalos drives down the left, but his cut-back is behind Livaja and the visitors survive.
8'
Morgans heads clear the corner delivery, but AEK force another. Again, Leicester deal with the set-piece.
6'
Tielemans gifts the hosts possession with a loose ball in midfield, and they work a nice move down the right. Morgan is alert at the near post where he heads a cross behind for a corner.
5'
Paulinho has given Braga an early lead against Zorya in the other Group G game.
3'
Free-kick! Maddison wins a free-kick in a great position, left of the penalty area. It's a disappointing hit from Maddison, who strikes his shot straight at the wall.
