- 90'+6'That's all for now though, goodbye!
- 90'+6'The result means that Leicester qualify for the next round, while Braga move four points clear of AEK Athens in second.
- 90'+6'Leicester secure qualification to the knockout stages after a dramatic ending against Braga! The hosts dominated the first half and established a 2-1 lead at half time with Al Musrati and Paulinho's goals either side of Barnes' smart finish for Leicester. However, Leicester were much improved after the introduction of Vardy and Maddison and the latter's assist set up Thomas for a tap in with 10 minutes to go. With the game set to end all square, Braga struck as Fransergio clipped a fine finish over Schmeichel to grab a late lead. Leicester weren't to be denied though and they equalised at the death through Vardy to snatch a 3-3 draw!
- 90'+6'FULL TIME: Braga 3-3 Leicester City
- 90'+5'Albrighton only had a narrow window to aim at there, but he confidently slammed it across the face of goal and it found Vardy in the perfect spot!
- 90'+5'VARDY EQUALISES AT THE DEATH! 3-3! What an ending! Leicester surge forward with one last attack as Maddison feeds it out wide to Albrighton who fizzes a pinpoint cross to the back post where Vardy is on hand to slide in and bundle it into the net!

- 90'BRAGA SCORE LATE ON! 3-2! The hosts sting Leicester with a quick counter-attack as Galeno latches onto Matheus' throw, before flying past Fofana and slipping Fransergio through on goal where the attacker keeps his cool and clips it over Schmeichel and into the net!

- 87'Castro is replaced by Andre Horta in midfield.

- 78'LEICESTER EQUALISE AGAIN! 2-2! Maddison feints to cross, before driving skillfully past Esgaio and slamming it across the face of goal where Thomas is on hand to flick it in from close range!
- 77'Medeiros is replaced by Fransergio on the right flank.
- 76'Leicester are starting to pile the pressure onto Braga as they search for that equaliser that will secure qualification early.
- 75'Chance for Evans! Vardy flicks on a Maddison corner at the near post and it whips towards Evans who glances it inches wide from close range!
- 73'With Zorya Luhansk currently leading 2-0 against AEK Athens, Leicester will know they now need just a draw to qualify today.
- 71'Leicester have controlled the game much more effectively in the second half - they've had 61% possession in this period despite having just 48% in the first 45. However, they need to quickly translate this authority on the ball into clear chances.
- 69'Horta departs after a great performance, with Silva taking his place.
- 68'Leicester make one more change - Perez comes on for Iheanacho.
- 68'Big save from Schmeichel! Medeiros jinks past Thomas before whipping in an inch-perfect cross that glides over Fofana and onto the head of Paulinho who powers it towards goal only to see Schmeichel acrobatically tip it over the bar!
- 67'Braga make a rare foray forwards but Medeiros' cut back is hacked away by Fofana.

- 57'Justin teases in a dangerous cross towards the back post, but it just sails narrowly over Iheanacho and away for a goal kick.

- 45'+3'Leicester will want to secure qualification tonight and you wouldn't be surprised if Vardy and Maddison were introduced from the bench to swing the tide.
- 45'+3'Braga head into the break with a slender lead after a thrilling first half. The hosts took the lead within five minutes as Al Musrati drilled in a brilliant effort from 25 yards. Leicester responded swiftly through Barnes' powerful finish, but they were still second best from this point. Braga continued to control the game and got their reward after Paulinho finished off a fine move - and it could have got worse for the away side, with Schmeichel pulling off a string of fine saves to keep the score at 2-1 at half time.
- 48'Braga were consistently threatening in the first period, while Leicester only found fluency in brief moments and it resulted in the hosts producing six shots from inside the box compared to Leicester's three.

- 45'+2'Bruno Viana nods well wide from a corner as the hosts continue to pile on the pressure.
- 46'The second substitution sees Fofana come on for Fuchs in defence.
- 46'Leicester make a double substitution - the first of which is Tielemans in place of Praet.
- 45'+1'Schmeichel with another big save! Galeno's no-look pass frees Sequeira, who rushes to the byline before drilling in a cross to Horta who flicks it at the near post from close range where Schmeichel is on hand to instinctively block it with his legs!
- 44'Thomas intercepts an errant pass to end a long spell of possession for Braga, but the hosts quickly press Leicester and force them all the way back to Schmeichel.
- 42'Braga have been in control since taking the lead and they're creating plenty of opportunities while restricting Leicester to counter-attacks.
- 40'Leicester break quickly after the referee collides with Castro and Under dances all the way to the edge of the area before hitting a tame shot at Matheus - much to the referee's relief!
- 39'Brilliant stop from Schmeichel! Galeno whizzes in behind Albrighton before cutting it back to Paulinho who drills a shot at goal that ricochets off the goalkeeper and out to Horta who attempts to stab it in from close range, only for Schmeichel to quickly block it away!
- 37'Fortunately, it looks as though Justin won't be forced off as he returns to the action.
- 35'Justin falls awkwardly after a challenge from Al Musrati and there's a delay as he receives treatment.
- 33'Barnes bursts in behind the Braga defence down the left flank and he chips in a cross to the unmarked Thomas, but his header is misplaced and it sails high and wide.
- 30'Praet looks to kickstart a counter-attack for Leicester, but Castro robs him on the halfway line and the away side are pinned back again.
- 28'Braga have looked consistently dangerous with their snappy interchanges on the edge of the Leicester box and their second goal encapsulated that threat! They'll be looking to hang onto this lead longer than last time though.
- 26'Brilliant save from Matheus! Under latches onto a short backpass from Tormena to find himself clean through on goal! However, his first shot is blocked bravely by Matheus, before his second effort is cleared away by Sequeira!
- 24'Horta did brilliantly to keep his composure and pass it to Paulinho rather than take on the chance from a tight angle and he gets his reward with an assist!
- 24'BRAGA TAKE THE LEAD AGAIN! 2-1! The hosts get a second with a sweeping move, as Horta plays a one-two with Paulinho on the edge of the area, before dancing around Schmeichel and cutting it back to Paulinho who taps it into an empty net!
- 23'After a frenetic beginning, this game has slowed down a little; both teams have calmed the tempo down as they look to tighten up at the back, before carefully probing in attack.
- 21'Braga attempt to build up a spell of pressure as Galeno slips Sequeira in behind the Leicester defence, with his eventual cross forcing Justin into a nervous clearance.
- 19'Galeno races onto a throughball near the byline and stands up a cross that Schmeichel calmly collects.
- 17'Leicester have been in fine form in Europe and could set a new record for themselves today: they've won each of their last three games in European competition and could win four in a row for the first time in their history.
- 15'Leicester win their first corner of the game but it's headed clear at the back post by Sequeira.
- 13'Galeno almost darts in behind the Leicester defence but Albrighton recovers well to knock it off the attacker for a goal kick.

- 9'LEICESTER HIT BACK! 1-1! Iheanacho wriggles into the box and although Castro pokes it away from the attacker it trickles into the path of Barnes who slams a powerful finish beyond Matheus at the near post!
- 6'Well, this is the ideal start for Braga! They've began with plenty of intent and now they'll be able to sit back and hit Leicester on the counter-attack if they choose.
- 4'BRAGA TAKE AN EARLY LEAD! 1-0! Medeiros gets in behind down the right flank and he cuts it back to Horta who has two shots bravely blocked by the Leicester defence before it drops to Al Musrati who drills a brilliant effort across Schmeichel and into the bottom corner from 25 yards!
