Another player goes down for cramp but we are less than two minutes from time now.
90' +2
Cullen hits the bar! So unlucky with the goalkeeper and the defender on the line beaten. Some fine footwork to cut the chance for himself. He's really taken his chance, has Cullen.
90'
There will be six minutes of added time.
89'
Another chance goes begging for Burke, who let's the ball drop for a volley inside the area but scuffs the connection.
88'
More cramp for the Lusitanos players, which is hardly surprisingly. The West Ham fans cheers ironically.
86'
It's all very pedestrian now but West Ham have just confirmed an attendance of 34,966, which is very impressive for a Europa League first qualifying round. There are 22 Lusitanos fans.
81'
Many injury stoppages as the Andorran side continue to see players drop to the floor. West Ham are starting to get a little frustrated.
76'
Nearly a goal for Burke! Unfortunately his header is straight at the goalkeeper following a corner. Unlucky for the youngster.
74'
D. Parfitt-Williams enters the game and replaces M. Zárate.
A third change for West Ham as Zarate, who looks to be holding his groin, is replaced by Parfitt-Williams.

Description
69'
Cullen has impressed in the short amount of time he's been on. First getting a shot on target after a few seconds and now pinging the ball around with confidence. One to watch, perhaps.
66'
Interesting, West Ham's entire back four is made up on players from the academy. Fantastic for the Hammers.
65'
A pace has slightly slowed now with the result all but confirmed.
63'
Óscar Sonejee gets yellow.
62'
E. Lee enters the game and replaces D. Sakho.
Now Sakho is replaced, so no hat-trick for him, by Lee.
60'
J. Cullen enters the game and replaces J. O'Brien.
Change for West Ham now as O'Brien is replaced by Cullen. Oxford moves to centre-back, his more natural position.
58'
J. Tomkins has scored a goal for West Ham United!
GOAL! Tompkins makes it 3-0! That really is game, set and match (and tie) now as the captain nods home just before the hour mark.
57'
So close from Oxford and nearly a debut goal! The balls sits up nicely for the 16-year-old and tests Gerardo from 25 yards, but the goalkeeper pushes the ball away. Fine effort.
54'
Óscar Sonejee enters the game and replaces Franklin Soares.
West Ham have much more about them this half. I'd be very surprised if there arn't more goals before time is up.
A final, and enforced, change for Lusitanos as Oscar Sonejee comes on for Franclim.
50'
And Amalfitano nearly goes one better with a fantastic strike from range! A dipping shot is dipping under the bar but Gerardo tips the ball away. Superb effort.
49'
Superb play by West Ham and Sakho is really starting to enjoy himself. The striker, with his back to goal, finds Amalfitano with a neat flick but the midfielder can only hit the ball straight at Gerardo.
47'
Lusitanos have brought on Edu Moya and Alfi Conteh for Luigi San Nicolas and J. A. Aguilar.
46'
Edu Moya enters the game and replaces Luigi San Nicolás.
A. Conteh-Lacalle enters the game and replaces Josele.
We are back under way here at Upton Park. Lusitanos have made two changes. More on that shortly.
45' +3
And that's half-time!
45' +2
D. Sakho has scored a goal for West Ham United!
GOAL! So simple from West Ham as Sakho makes it 2-0 with a simple cutback from Zarate.
45'
There will be two minutes of added time at the end of the first half.
43'
Very nice from Amalfitano! He finds Sakho inside the area with a neat little flick from the striker is quickly closed down, impressively from the visitors, with the goal gaping.
41'
It's been deserved on West Ham's dominance but they've been far from their best this evening, as expected.
40'
D. Sakho has scored a goal for West Ham United!
GOAL! Sakho gives West Ham the lead! It's been a routine they've tried all game and it's finally paid off, this time Zarate floating a ball towards the back post and Sakho heads in. Simple, and it's 1-0.
34'
OFF THE LINE! Jarvis, who is really enjoying himself, whips in another cross to Burke who directs the ball inside the near post but his effort is hacked clear.
33'
More corner and more wasted opportunities from West Ham, this time Oxford failing to get an effort on target.
31'
Oh, that should be 1-0! Sakho is again found at the back post, this time by O'Brien, but heads over from six yards. Very rusty, it seems.
27'
R. Oxford gets yellow.
Moisés San Nicolás gets yellow.
26'
And now Oxford gets a booking for an overeager challenge on Acosta. Things might be heating up.
24'
Josele gets yellow.
Meanwhile, Lusitanos may have slightly different views on the game as Aguilar is booked for a heavy challenge on Page.
19'
West Ham have urgency but it's evident they are playing a poor side and have only just returned from their holidays.
17'
Oh, this is better though as Amalfitano connects with a Jarvis cross to hit a volley towards Gerardo but only hits the side netting.
15'
Zarate is the next to test Lusitanos but his free kick is hit straight into the wall. That was poor.
12'
It's all West Ham, as expected, and will likely be this way for the remainder of the game. Another free kick for the hosts, which Tomkins meets, but the chance goes begging.
9'
Oooh. That was risky from Lustianos! They visitors get away with a cheeky offside trap by centimetres as Tomkins is denied a tap in.
7'
More good work from West Ham as Amalfitano finds Sakho after gaining space on the right but goalkeeper Gerardo beats the striker in the air.
5'
Ah, I may have spoken too soon. Jarvis beats the full-back down the flank and finds Sakho at the back post but the striker fails to find the target with a header.
4'
A good start for Lusitanos, carving open an opportunity for themselves with neat play around the West Ham area. It's a bit sloppy from the hosts at the moment.
2'
An early chance for West Ham for Sakho, but the striker drags his shot wide after latching on to a knockdown on the edge of the area.
1'
We are under way!
Good evening and welcome to Goal's LIVE coverage of the Europa League first qualifying round first-leg game between West Ham and Lusitans. My name is Alex Young and I will be guiding you through tonight's proceedings.
The interesting news ahead of the game is that new West Ham manager Slaven Bilic will be watching for the stands tonight instead of taking charge of his first game. Academy boss Terry Westley will be in the dugout.
With is West Ham's first European game for nine years, while Lusitans were only founded 16 years ago. They do have more Champions League experience than West Ham though...
So academy boss Terry Westley has gone with a mix of youth and experience. The likes of Reece Burke, Reece Oxford and Lewis Page team up with James Tomkins, Morgan Amalfitano and Matt Jarvis and Diafra Sakho in the starting line-up.
Slaven Bilic will be introduced to the crowd ahead of kick-off this evening, with the stadium filled to capacity.
Oxford is set to become West Ham's youngest ever player at just 16 years and 198 days old. That record has stood since 1922 when Billy Williams - at 16 years and 221 days old played against Blackpool. Remarkable.
We are just over five minutes from kick-off now. Slaven Bilic is standing near the tunnel.
And here is Slaven Bilic, wearing a West Ham scarf as 'Bubbles' rings around the stadium and through the PA system.
West Ham took a while to get into their stride by two strikes of Sakho in the final five minutes of the half gives them a commanding lead. You have to say this tie is effectively over already, which I'm sure Bilic & Co. will be delighted about.
Not the best quality on show, with Lusitanos never in it, but goals from Sakho and a third from Tomkins has all but sealed West Ham's passage into the second round of qualification. The second leg is in a week.
Thanks, as ever, from following along tonight. Until next time, goodbye!
