    It’s almost a chance for Dinamo on the counter, but Gavranovic can’t quite manage to find the pass as the support arrives up to him and Spurs escape.

    We're back underway in Zagreb. I have to say that I didn't see this coming, but Dinamo have been well worth it.

    We're getting another thirty minutes. Spurs barely deserve this chance to rescue their Europa League campaign after a shambolic display, but can they take it?
    90+3'
    Kane curls a cross towards the back stick in one last desperate attempt to find a winner in normal time, but the keeper beats Vinicius to it and we’re heading to extra-time.
    90+2'
    Bale’s optimistic effort flies over the bar and it looks like we might be heading to an extra half hour.
    90+1'
    It’s a free-kick to Spurs and Gareth Bale is standing over it…

    There will be three minutes of added time. Will we get a late winner? Or are we heading to extra-time? Remember that a Spurs goal would effectively count double at this stage due to the away goals rule.
    89'
    Bale is almost played through, but the ball is cut out at the last possible moment. Spurs are trying to rescue this game in normal time and Dinamo are clinging on for the extra 30 minutes… that’s certainly how it feels anyway.
    87'
    Aurier bends in a cross but Ndombele can’t quite get there and fouls the defender in his enthusiasm to reach the ball.

    Vinicius replaces Lucas for Spurs. It’s anybody’s tie now!

    Off the line! Bale bends in a cross to the back post and Kane somehow gets a header away, only for the keeper to make a terrific save and Théophile-Catherine to hack off the line.

    GOOOAAALLL!!! The tie is level on aggregate! Atiemwen slides a ball across the box and Orsic arrives to slot home his second of the night. 2-0!

    It’s another couple of changes for Dinamo, with big centre-forward Gabranovic and Leovac coming on.
    79'
    Dinamo press again, but Kane does a brilliant job to hold the ball up and draw a foul. That is exactly what you want from your striker in that situation.
    78'
    A reminder that one more goal for Dinamo would send this game to extra-time.
    77'
    Davies to the rescue for Spurs, scraping the ball away just as Orsic looks set to pull the trigger from close-range.

    Dinamo go in search of goals, taking off their holding midfielder Jakic and bringing on Atiemwen.
    74'
    Lo Celso’s lovely chipped ball over the top finds Lucas, but the angle is tight and he can only find the side-netting with his shot.
    74'
    The quality of Ndombele and Lo Celso has had an immediate impact and Spurs have rediscovered a foothold in midfield.
    73'
    Davies has a couple of yellow shirts to aim for as he gets into space on the left of the box, but is delivery sails over their heads and away. That’s poor.
    71'
    Lo Celso’s deflected shot on the turn almost sneaks inside the post, but the keeper is alive to the danger and makes a smart stop.
