FULL-TIME: FREIBURG 0-2 JUVENTUS (0-3 on aggregate).
90' +5
F. Chiesa has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by A. Rabiot.
Rabiot's quick thinking there was excellent, picking out Chiesa as the defence arrived and giving the substitute just enough time to rifle the ball home.
GOOOOAAAALLL!!!! The last eight, here they come!!!! Kubler's poor clearance is cut out by Rabiot, who finds Chiesa in the space vacated by the stranded Freiburg defender. He drills the ball towards the far corner, which beats Flekken and strikes the post before nestling in the back of the net to make it 2-0 to Juve! That's a 3-0 aggregate score, and seals their passage into the quarter-finals.
90' +3
Kubler's long throw is flicked on by Sildialli in the box, and he claims a penalty for hand-ball which the referee isn't interested in hearing!
90' +2
Freiburg win a free-kick which Grifo is again the man to cross into the box, but the delivery is too close to Szczesny and the Bianconeri goalkeeper claims it.
90' +1
M. Soulé enters the game and replaces M. Kean.
Juve make another late change, as Kean is replaced in the front line by young forward Matias Soule.
90'
We'll play an additional five minutes of added time as Juventus close in on the last eight of this season's Europa League.
89'
Gatti heads Sallai's cross away to the edge of the box, where the ball is brought down by Grifo. He sets himself too shoot, but the shot he releases is underhit and rolls into the arms of Szczesny.
87'
R. Sallai gets yellow.
Kean drops deep once more, doing well to win and keep the ball on the near touchline, but he's shunted to the ground by Sallai after releasing the ball and the Freiburg substitute is booked.
86'
Sildialli's cross from the right is glanced away before Weisshaupt returns serve from the opposite touchline. It's only half-cleared by Juventus and the ball drops towards Petersen, but he can't turn and shoot before Gatti intercepts!
85'
M. De Sciglio enters the game and replaces J. Cuadrado.
Alterations also come out wide, with Mattia De Sciglio replacing Cuadrado at right wing-back.

Description
84'
E. Barrenechea enters the game and replaces M. Locatelli.
Juventus make late changes in midfield, as Locatelli is replaced by Enzo Barrenechea.
82'
S. Iling-Junior gets yellow.
The hosts win a free-kick on halfway which Kubler attempts to take quickly, but he's prevented from doing so by Iling-Junior, who is promptly booked for time-wasting by the referee.
81'
Juve can't clear properly from a Freiburg corner and the ball is passed to Sallai in the middle. He drops a shoulder to open up space on his right foot, but his 20-yard effort is pulled wide!
79'
Sildialli finds space down the right and attempts to cross from a throughball, but he's dragged back by his shirt and the perpetrator, Iling-Junior, is penalised.
78'
Iling-Junior passes inside to Fagioli in space, who drives from distance and sends a 25-yard effort searing high and wide of Flekken's left post!
77'
Kean drops deep to collect a pass from Rabiot, but he's held back by Schmidt and wins a free-kick for Juve.
75'
Weisshaupt's early cross from the left sees both Bremer and Danilo go for the same ball, with the ball going behind off the former for a Freiburg corner.
74'
N. Petersen enters the game and replaces M. Gregoritsch.
N. Weißhaupt enters the game and replaces C. Günter.
That half-chance will be Gregoritsch's last, as the striker is replaced up front for Freiburg by Nils Petersen.
Captain Gunter is also withdrawn in the hosts' final substitution, and Noah Weisshaupt will see out the remainder of the game for Freiburg.
73'
A long-range throughball from Locatelli is almost seized upon by Kean, but Schmidt gets back to recover possession for Freiburg and the chance comes to an end.
71'
Kostic also comes off for the Old Lady, and young English forward Samuel Iling-Junior will replace the starting left-winger.
70'
F. Chiesa enters the game and replaces D. Vlahović.
S. Iling-Junior enters the game and replaces F. Kostić.
Vlahovic's goal remains the difference in this game as we enter the final 20 minutes, and Federico Chiesa replaces the Serbian in attack, which will likely see him support Kean up front.
67'
Freiburg win a free-kick on the right-hand side and Grifo stands over the ball. He crosses to the back post, but slightly overhits his delivery and the ball sails behind.
66'
Rabiot wins possession in midfield and tees up Kostic from distance, but the winger drags his low drive well beyond the reaches of the far post.
64'
Sallai looks to step beyond Kostic before crossing into the box, but the substitute's effort from the right edge hangs high before floating behind.
62'
R. Sallai enters the game and replaces R. Doan.
V. Grifo enters the game and replaces L. Höler.
Freiburg make further changes on the hour, as the impressive Doan is replaced by Roland Sallai in the front three.
Holer also comes off, and Freiburg's top scorer in all competitions this season, Vincenzo Grifo, enters the fray.
56'
D. Vlahović gets yellow.
Vlahovic needlessly knocks Ginter over before booting the ball away when penalised, and the referee doesn't hesitate in showing the goalscorer a yellow card for dissent.
Doan darts down the right and looks to pick out a cross, but after he's shoved over by Kostic, the referee strangely awards Juventus a goal kick rather than giving the hosts a free-kick!
55'
Danilo's all over Doan as the Freiburg forward drops deep once again, and the Japanese forward wins a second free-kick in as many minutes for his side.
53'
Fagioli's attempted throughball for Kean is cut out by Ginter, who finds Doan in support. He turns Kostic brilliantly and looks to spark an attack but is fouled from behind by the Juve winger.
48'
Rabiot concedes the first corner of the half, but Gunter's delivery doesn't get beyond Gatti, who heads clear for Juventus at the near post.
46'
K. Schmidt enters the game and replaces M. Eggestein.
Eggestein is withdrawn at half-time by the hosts, with Kenneth Schmidt coming into the midfield to make his debut for the club.
Gregoritsch kicks off the second half for Freiburg, who have a mighty task ahead of them if they're to progress beyond this stage of the competition!
45' +4
Gregoritsch turns in the box to find Doan darting across him, but the Japan forward's shot from the tightest of angles is deflected behind for a corner!
HALF-TIME: FREIBURG 0-1 JUVENTUS (0-2 Aggregate).
45' +1
We're into three additional minutes at the end of this first half, which could well end up being more given the drama we've just witnessed!
45'
Penalty goal scored by D. Vlahović for Juventus!
GOOOOAAALLL!!! Vlahovic scores... just!!! The striker steps up and drills the ball low and hard, but Flekken guesses the right way and the ball deflects off his torso into the roof of the net!! A double-whammy of good luck for Juve, but they won't care as they lead the tie 1-0 on the night and 2-0 on aggregate!
44'
M. Gulde gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
N. Höfler gets yellow.
HE'S OFF!!! The penalty is given for that handball by Gulde, and it's a rather harsh yellow card. However, that's his second of the game, meaning the Freiburg defender is off as Vlahovic prepares to take the Juventus penalty!
Yellow Card Nicolas Höfler
37'
Freiburg again pop the ball in and around the Juventus box and it's spread wide to Gunter, but his effort from distance is woefully poor as he drags it well wide of the far post.
33'
Holer drops deep to receive a midfield pass but is soon barrelled over by Gatti. The Juve defender races back into position and shares some words with the referee on his way, appearing lucky to have avoided a dissent-related yellow there!
30'
Gunter latches onto Holer's flick and cuts inside to shoot from the edge of the box, but his right-footed effort is snatched at and Gatti easily blocks it.
26'
M. Gulde gets yellow.
Rabiot plays a one-two with Kean but is clipped very late by Gulde on his way through, resulting in the first yellow card of the game being shown to the Freiburg defender.
25'
Doan looks to turn away from Danilo, but is caught from behind and is fouled by the Juventus captain.
23'
Freiburg attempt to pull off a pre-planned move from their latest corner, but in the process Eggestein is caught offside and the flag's up before Doan can shoot!
22'
Doan dribbles his way into the box before passing back to Eggestein. His cross is met by Gunter, whose deflected effort is heading behind and Szczesny can't keep it in!
21'
Freiburg keep possession well and Holer looks to tee up Eggestein for a shot, but the midfielder is flagged offside and the free-kick goes Juventus' way!
19'
Bringing the ball down following a switch in play by the Old Lady, Cuadrado drives into the box and takes on Gunter. He looks to step beyond the Freiburg captain and goes down under the slightest of pressure, with the referee far from convinced and calling play on!
17'
Juve seem happy to simply keep the ball at the moment, and are doing well to bypass the press of Freiburg. They're already in control of this tie on aggregate, so any attack that does come from this spell of possession will not be rushed, by any means.
15'
Locatelli threads one peach of a throughball into the path of Cuadrado. He cuts inside onto his left foot but is dispossessed, and the same happens to Fagioli when he attempts to drive into the area with the loose ball!
13'
Kubler's long ball forward is aimed to the outlet of Gregoritsch in the box, but his off-balance header is recovered by the Juve defence.
11'
A Freiburg free-kick is crossed into the area, but Holer fouls Gatti in the Juventus box and the visitors are awarded a free-kick of their own.
7'
Gulde attempts to hit a throughball into Doan's path, but his pass is overhit and the Freiburg forward can't reach the ball before it sails out of play.
1'
Vlahovic kicks the game off for Juventus, and we're up and running in south-western Germany!

A 3-0 aggregate victory for Juventus sees the Bianconeri reach the last eight of the Europa League, and with the quality of sides in the competition being filtered and narrowed with every passing round, the Old Lady will need to be at their ruthless best to beat whichever opponent they are drawn. Freiburg's first spell in Europe since 2017-18 ends here, however their league form - currently fifth in the Bundesliga - suggests that they could well be back stronger by the time next season rolls around.
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game. It's goodbye for now, but we'll see you for the next round of European fixtures!
We're back for the second period, and can 10-man Freiburg pull off the unlikeliest of comebacks to get back into this tie?
