Half-time: Sparta Prague 1-0 Bournemouth. The Cherries missed a glorious chance to lead when Cook's penalty - won after Hoever's handball - crashed against the post, and they were made to pay when Sparta broke straight up the other end and Singhateh finished off Surovcík's pass to make it 1-0. Bournemouth were handed a lifeline when Guddal saw a second yellow for his foul on Rodríguez, leaving Sparta down to ten men from the 37th minute, and they finished the half much the stronger side, going close through Gannon-Doak among other efforts without finding an equaliser. Bournemouth edge the shots, shots on target and corner counts, with three minutes of stoppage time added on at the end of the half.

Bournemouth have finished the half the stronger side with Sparta down to ten men, piling forward and nearly levelling twice in quick succession - Rodríguez heading straight at Surovcík before Gannon-Doak forced another good save moments later. The shot count and corner tally have both swung Bournemouth's way since the last update, and they go in at the break trailing 1-0 despite dominating that extra-man spell.

Cruel twist for Bournemouth, who had just gone close through Diakité's header being superbly saved by Surovcík, only for Sparta to break straight up the other end and take the lead through Singhateh after a fast break set up by Surovcík himself.

Sparta have edged back on top over the last ten minutes, nudging possession up again and forcing Di Gregorio into his first save of the night with a well-placed stop on Irving's left-footed effort from outside the box.

Bournemouth have grown into this one after a shaky start, with possession now far more even and the shot count level at 3-3. Rodríguez had a left-footed effort blocked from the right side of the box, before Hoever tested the Cherries' defence at the other end with a blocked shot of his own. Neither keeper has had to make a save yet as both sides probe for a way through.

Sparta have started the brighter of the two sides, dominating possession and forcing an early chance through Brunes, who twice went close - first shooting narrowly wide and then seeing a follow-up effort blocked. Bournemouth's best moment so far came from Cook, whose effort from outside the box drifted just wide, while Guddal picked up an early yellow for a foul on Gannon-Doak as the hosts continue to see more of the ball.
