35'
FIRST BOOKING OF THE GAME
Amad is cautioned for a foul on Udogie.
TNT Sports reporter Ben Snowball: "Biggest cheer of the night was that yellow card for Amad after the referee briefly teased the Spurs fans by not issuing it immediately.
"Udogie v Amad is the best duel on the pitch right now."
32'
GOALKEEPERS STRUGGLING WITH THE OCCASION?
"I must say, neither keeper has started that impressively," TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher has analysed.
Meanwhile, co-commentator Ally McCoist has urged both teams to "pepper" their opponent's goal.
30'
MORE UNITED PRESSURE
Amad drives into the box from the right, twists and turns past Udogie and fires a shot across the box but Johnson gets a crucial block in.
Romero is down in the box after bumping into Rasmus Hojlund, but he's soon on his feet and play resumes.
27'
MAGUIRE DOES WELL
Dominic Solanke has his back to goal as the ball comes to him on the edge of the box and is surely favourite to win possession, but Maguire holds him off and wins the ball expertly. He had to, or it could have been trouble.
24'
A NERVY START
Both sides have had chances in an end-to-end start.
21'
INTO VICARIO'S CLUTCHES
Another positive moment from Man Utd as Fernandes gets forward and pulls a cross back from the byline on the right, but Spurs goalkeeper Vicario is there to pounce and nullify the danger.

AMAD FLASHES THE BALL WIDE!
Amad Diallo picks the ball up at the back post from the corner, takes a touch with his right foot to beat his defender and blasts a ball across the face of goal and behind for a goal kick.
It's been an electric start to the Europa League final!

ROMERO COULDN'T TAKE THE CHANCE!
Maguire sends a beautiful ball over the top for Patrick Dorgu, who is at full stretch as he volleys the ball back across goal for a red shirt, but Romero is the only one there and hooks it behind for another corner.
14'
RICHARLISON GOES CLOSE
Spurs send in a free-kick from the left and the ball drops at the front post, with Richarlison winning the scrap before seeing his snatched effort deflected behind.
This time, Maguire is the one to head clear from the corner and Man Utd draw a foul to ease the pressure. Both defences have looked a little suspect in the early stages.
12'
DOUBLE SPURS CHANCE!
This is better from Spurs.
Johnson is direct as he bursts past Maguire down the right flank before firing a shot straight at Onana from a tight angle, before Pape Sarr follows up to see his shot on the edge of the box blocked.

BIG HEADER!
Porro delivers a deep cross from the right and Andre Onana isn't getting there. The ball evades him and heads for Richarlison at the back post, but Noussair Mazraoui gets a vital touch on it to guide the ball behind for a corner.
This time, Onana does better as he punches the set-piece clear.
8'
FROM THE GROUND
TNT Sports reporter Ben Snowball:
Absolutely cracking atmosphere. Spurs edged the pre-match noise, but that endless Ruben Amorim chant has taken over now. United have settled quickly; a couple of early, and familiar, defensive errors for Spurs.
6'
HALF-CHANCE FOR UNITED
Bruno Fernandes wriggles through a busy box and gets a shot away, but it doesn't trouble Guglielmo Vicario as it thunders into the cluster of white shirts.
The Spurs defence look pretty shaky in the early stages.
5'
MAN UTD CORNER
United win a free-kick out wide, which Luke Shaw sends into the box for Maguire to get his head on, before Destiny Udogie shanks the ball behind for a corner.
Fortunately for the Italian, it comes to nothing.
2'
EARLY TOTTENHAM CORNER
Spurs are out of the blocks fast and Brennan Johnson wins the first corner of the game.
Pedro Porro whips it in, but referee Felix Zwayer blows up for a foul from Micky van de Ven on Harry Maguire in the box.

OFF WE GO!
Tottenham gets us underway in Bilbao for the first half.

THE PLAYERS ARE OUT
And the Europa League anthem rings out around Estadio de San Mames!
"I'm hoping for carnage," Ferdinand told TNT Sports.
"I want mayhem, I want goals, I want jeopardy. But you've got to go out there and put your authority in the early part of the game and gain that territorial advantage.
"Put your attitude out there, get your chest out. I think Man Utd have got the leaders like Casemiro, who have been here before.
"On that point, I'd put them as slight favourites."

AMORIM 'NOT THINKING ABOUT THE MONEY'
Man Utd boss Amorim has insisted that winning the Europa League trophy is more important than financial gain for the club.
