AZ Alkmaar 0-0 Roma

2025-01-23T19:14:07Z

It’s no less than the Bundesliga side have deserved – they have been much the better side in the second half, with Spurs looking more like their recent selves.

GOAL! Hoffenheim 1-2 Spurs

With 22 minutes left, Hoffenheim are right back in this. Anton Stach was the scorer, finishing off a brilliant counter from close range.

Game on.

2025-01-23T19:04:54Z

Elsewhere on the continent, Fenerbahçe-Lyon and Porto-Olympiacos remain goalless.

How might the Europa League table look in a half hour or so?

2025-01-23T19:03:36Z

There’s been a single shot on target in the opening hour of AZ and Roma’s clash.

One goal might do it for either side at this point.

2025-01-23T18:58:01Z

The Rangers team is out too, and there’s a return to Old Trafford for former loanee Jack Butland.

2025-01-23T18:57:21Z

The Man Utd team is in, and there’s a starting spot for Alejandro Garnacho, as well as Altay Bayindir, Toby Collyer and Christian Eriksen.

2025-01-23T18:51:28Z

We’re back underway in the early kick-offs.

Can Spurs get a big win? Will there be a winner between AZ and Roma?

A tribute fitting of the man known as the “King of the Stretford End”.

Manchester United will be looking to somewhat steady the ship once again tonight when they host Rangers at Old Trafford.

2025-01-23T18:34:21Z

HALF TIME!

Spurs are in control in Germany at the break, and surely will hold out for a crucial win.

AZ and Roma can’t be separated so far.

2025-01-23T18:16:51Z

There’s not a huge deal happening so far in the clash between AZ and Roma, which could really do with a goal.

2025-01-23T18:15:42Z

In his 436th appearance for Spurs (the 10th most in their history), Son has scored his 171th goal for the club.

It’s also the 10th time he’s faced Hoffenheim in his career, and he looks on course for his eighth win.

2025-01-23T18:10:02Z

GOAL! Hoffenheim 0-2 Spurs

Did we speak it into existence?

The Spurs captain has indeed scored on his latest return to Germany with a deflected effort after Maddison put him through on goal.

2025-01-23T18:02:40Z

Spurs have looked good so far, and Son Heung-Min has had their latest opening.

Can the former Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg man grab a goal back in his former adopted country?!

2025-01-23T17:57:41Z

Over in Alkmaar, Roma have dominated possession in the opening 10 minutes, but have yet to test Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro in the AZ goal.

2025-01-23T17:56:24Z

They’re not wrong 🎯

2025-01-23T17:51:20Z

GOAL! Hoffenheim 0-1 Spurs

It has taken just four minutes for Spurs to get off to a dream start in Germany.

James Maddison is the scorer, brilliantly taking down Pedro Porro’s long ball, and smashing the ball high into the net with an equally elite finish.

2025-01-23T17:47:25Z

KICK OFF: The early games are underway in Alkmaar and Hoffenheim!

A big night begins.

2025-01-23T17:27:39Z

Hoffenheim need a result tonight to stay in the hunt for the knockout round playoffs, and this is how they line up!

2025-01-23T17:20:38Z

Artem Dovbyk has been Roma’s main man of late. Can the Ukrainian continue his hot streak tonight?

2025-01-23T17:04:22Z

Roma have had a good day so far, completing the signing of Ajax defender Devyne Rensch, and are going Double Dutch with a clash away to AZ Alkmaar.

This is how they line up.

2025-01-23T17:02:24Z

Spurs look relaxed. Will they be in 45 minutes at kick-off?

2025-01-23T16:50:24Z

It’s a big night for Ange Postecoglou, who desperately needs a positive result in Germany.

Spurs are on a wretched run of just two wins from their last eight games in all competitions, and currently sit outside the automatic qualification spots for the Europa League knockout phase.

2025-01-23T16:45:37Z

The pick of the early kick-offs see Tottenham visit Hoffenheim, and AZ Alkmaar host Roma, and the Spurs’ team news is in.
