The fourth official indicates that a minimum of two minutes are being added on here in Greece. Silva deserves great credit for what looks to be a match-winning substitute by bringing on Pardo.
90'
F. Pardo has scored a goal for Olympiakos! Assist by K. Fortounis.
GOOOOOOOOOOOAALLLLLL!! It’s 2-1 to Olympiacos! Pardo bags his second goal since coming off the bench to surely hand the Greek side all three points with a coolly-taken finish inside the penalty area.
88'

Seba looks to launch a counter-attack but as he tries to control the ball, it strikes off his arm and the referee gets straight on it, awarding Dinamo a free-kick with three minutes of normal time left to play.
85'
Fernandes surges forward for Dinamo and looks to play in Henriquez, who wins a corner off his clever movement at the near post. This is a great chance for the visitors to nick a late winner.
83'
It's still all Olympiacos as they continue to force Dinamo right on top of their goalkeeper's toes. The visitors are really feeling the pace at the moment but they are giving their all at the back.
81'

OUCH! Pardo looses the ball inside Dinamo's half and as Rog looks to hack away the danger for the visitors, the Olympiacos man wipes him out with a rough challenge down the flank.
Silva makes his third and final change of the match as he takes off Kasami and brings on Finnbogason. The hosts have two strikers up top as they look to throw everything at Dinamo in the latter stages of this game.
80'
L. Sigali enters the game and replaces M. Pjaca.
Mamic makes his second change of the game for Dinamo as he takes off Pjaca and brings on Sigali in the wake of Pivaric’s sending off in the second half. It’s backs to the wall stuff from the visitors now.
79'
J. Pivarić gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
HE’S OFF!! Pivaric continues to struggle up against Pardo and as the Olympiacos man tries to drive forward on the counter-attack, the Dinamo defender pulls him back and therefore receives his marching orders from the referee.
77'
Masuaku powers in a cross from the left flank again towards the back stick and Pardo puts enough pressure on Pivaric to force him to head behind for an Olympiacos corner.

73'
Dinamo set their stall out to hold onto what they had right from the get-go in the second half and they're still looking to stay compact late on, despite conceding a goal. Olympiacos have the momentum with them at the moment.
71'
The game continues to be bitty with so many suspensions in play from the referee as Rog brings down Seba inside Dinamo's half. Free-kick to Olympiacos as we edge towards the latter stages.
69'
Paulo Machado gets yellow.
Pivaric drives forward again from left-back and plays a pass in towards Henriquez, but Da Costa closes off the space really well and forces the Dinamo man away from goal. Good defending.

67'
Masuaku digs out a great cross towards Milivojevic who winds up a long-range shot from just outside the penalty area, but Taravel gets his body in the way once more. Great defending.

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!! It’s 1-1 and Olympiacos are back in it! Pardo collects Ideye’s pass into him and cuts inside past Pivaric too easily as he levels the tie to the home fans’ delight. Game on at the Karaiskakis Stadium!

Silva makes his second change of the evening for Olympiacos as he takes off Hernani, who was quite poor for the hosts tonight in truth, and replaces him with Pardo just after the hour mark.
62'
Pardo gets stripped on the touchline as Silva looks to make his second substitution this evening. Seba and Hernani are in contention to come off and both have disappointed this evening, so it's a toss-up.
60'
Olympiacos still have plenty of time to score but the supporters are starting to get on their back now. They were quiet for large spells in the reverse leg but still found a way through in the end so you can't write them off just yet.
58'
Dinamo are enjoying a good spell of possession at the moment, knocking the ball around amongst themselves with good pace. The visitors have looked so comfortable tonight and all credit goes to their manager, Mamic, for whatever he has said to them in the build up.
57'
Á. Henríquez enters the game and replaces A. Hodžić.
Mamic makes his first change of the night for Dinamo as he takes off Hodzic, who scored his side’s goal but has been limping for a while now, and replaces him with Henriquez in a striker swap for the Croats.
56'
The Karaiskais Stadium falls silent again as Fortounis passes up a huge opportunity for Olympiacos to equalise on home soil. Dinamo must think their luck is in tonight.
54'

SAVED!! Eduardo dives early to his right and denies Fortounis, before the Olympiacos midfielder blasts the rebound over the crossbar from point-blank range. The Dinamo goalkeeper comes up with a vital stop between the sticks.
53'
Gonçalo Santos gets yellow.
PENALTY TO OLYMPIACOS!! Ideye picks up the ball from Fortounis and as he looks to get a shot away, Goncalo Santos brings him down with poor challenge and the referee points to the spot.
Gonzalo Santos collects a yellow card from the referee as he gives away a penalty for Dinamo. He gets nowhere near the ball as he dives in on Ideye and presents them with a great chance to draw level.

Silva makes his first change for Olympiacos as he takes off Botia, who appears to have picked up a hamstring problem, and brings on Da Costa as his replacement at the back.
50'

48'
Fortounis picks up the ball down the right-hand side and wins a corner as his cross gets blocked. The Olympiacos midfielder steps up and bends in the set play but Matel clears at the near post.
46'
Welcome back! Dinamo get us under way again here in Greece as neither side makes a change during the half-time interval.

41'
Dinamo were much better in possession in the early stages of the first half but Olympiacos have been able to keep it better in the last 10 minutes or so. Silva's men need a bit more zip in their distribution, though.
39'
Seba cuts inside from the left-hand side and looks to pull back a goal for Olympiacos, but his effort goes straight down the throat of Eduardo who makes a decent save between the goal posts for Dinamo.
37'
Olympiacos are, as expected, looking a threat from set plays but apart from that, Dinamo are finding it too easy to defend against them when they have the ball in open play.
35'
Fortounis takes a free-kick away from Masuaku but he fails to beat the first man with his attempt as Fernandes clears away the danger at the near post for the Croatian side.

31'

28'
J. Pivarić gets yellow.

27'

21'
A. Hodžić has scored a goal for Dinamo Zagreb! Assist by J. Pivarić.

19'
Ideye controls a long ball forward on his chest and as he looks to engineer a bit of space for himself to get a shot off, the ball smacks off the back of Matel and the whole stadium screams for a penalty, but the referee ignores their protests.
17'
Both sides have moved the ball around well so far but Olympiacos are probably just shading things at the moment, especially with Hernani having by far the best chance to break the deadlock.
15'
BIG MISS! Masuaku marauds forward from left-back and drives a powerful cross past Matel towards Hernani at the back post, but the winger makes a hash of his headed attempt as he passes up a great opportunity to put his side in front.
13'
M. Rog gets yellow.
Siovas steps out of defence and tries to thread a through ball forward towards Fortounis, but he overcooks his pass as Goncalo collects the loose ball. The visitors have made a decent start to proceedings so far.
Rog becomes the first man to get his name taken by the referee as he makes a mistimed challenge in the middle of the park. The Dinamo man fouls Hernani and the man in charge of the cards dishes out a caution straight away.
11'
Rog skips past several Olympiacos players inside the hosts' half and plays a neat pass to the feet of Hodzic, but the Dinamo striker scuffs his shot into the turf and that allows Roberto to make an easy save.
9'
Seba powers forward on the breakaway for Olympiacos and sprays a good pass out wide to Hernani. The Porto loanee lacks options and therefore bends a shot with the inside of his left foot towards goal, but Eduardo makes an easy save between the sticks.

Good evening and welcome to our LIVE text commentary on tonight's UEFA Champions League clash between Olympiacos and Dinamo Zagreb from the Karaiskakis Stadium. I'm Matthew Judge and I will be your host for the match, which kicks off at 7:45pm.
If Arsenal were to lose against Bayern Munich in Germany tonight and Dinamo picked up a positive result against Olympiacos, the Croatian outfit are right back in the mix for a place in the last 16.
TEAM NEWS: Marco Silva has made just one change to the side which started Olympiacos' last match against Veria in the Greek top flight. Hernani comes into the first eleven in place of Felipe Pardo, who drops to the bench this evening.
TEAM NEWS: Zoran Mamic has made five alterations to the team which started Dinamo's 1-0 defeat against Hajduk Split in their last outing. Eduardo Carvalho, Jeremy Taravel, Marko Rog, Junior Fernandes and Armin Hodzic all get the chance to shine from the first whistle tonight.
DINAMO ZAGREB substitutes: Jezina, Sigali, Musa, Sovsic, Pavicic, Coric, Henriquez.
A massive three points dangle in front of both of these teams tonight. Olympiacos can take their tally to nine and really put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages with a win, while Dinamo can make things interesting in Group F with a victory this evening.
Both sets of players are stripped and raring to go as they leave the tunnel and enter onto the field here at the Karaiskakis Stadium. We are just moments away from seeing the action start to unfold.
HALF TIME: OLYMPIACOS 0-1 DINAMO ZAGREB
Hodzic still looks in pain from an earlier challenge as the referee calls time on the opening period. It's his strike in the first half which has Dinamo leading Olympiacos by one goal to nil here in Greece.
Olympiacos winger Hernani passed up a great chance to score with a poor header just minutes before Hodzic buried one of his own for Dinamo. The Croatian side have been solid at the back so far and the hosts have found joy in the final third hard to come by.
FULL TIME: OLYMPIACOS 2-1 DINAMO ZAGREB
Pardo comes off the bench and scores a second-half brace to put Olympiacos in a great position to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages. Dinamo put up a great fight but tired after the interval.
Hodzic scored for Dinamo to get them up and running and the Croats led during the break. Fortounis missed a penalty in the early stages of the second half but just when the visitors thought it was their night, Pardo comes up with the goods from the bench.
That's all from me, Matthew Judge, and it has been a great pleasure talking you through all of tonight's action here in Greece. We hope you can join us again very soon. Take care!
