West Ham vs Fiorentina LIVE: Score and updates from Europa Conference League final after fans fight in Prague

Jovic is closed out quickly as the ball bounces his way inside the box. One effort is blocked, the next is cleared quickly as he looks to pounce on the rebound.

Bowen wins a free-kick and a few ironic jeers sound out; Fiorentina are fairly dominant now with 69% of possession so far.

Oh, it appears David Moyes’ dad is in the crowd.

West Ham players and fans alike getting irate with the referee – they feel too many tackles are being punished without any real contact in them.

Antonio embarks on a winding run through three or four challenges, then loses his footing before the last one.

A lofted ball towards Jovic at the other end of the pitch briefly poses a question of the Hammers’ defence, but Areola claims it.

Bowen escapes down the right flank after Paqueta’s pass – but his cross is poor and cut out.

A throw-in bobbles around the edge of the area after only being half-cleared and it falls to the right boot of Declan Rice…but he scuffs his volley wide of the post.

Mandragora fizzes a shot in from distance with his left foot – it’s well wide though and never troubling Areola.

It’s fairly slow-paced now, neither club really committing too many forward on the ball.

Dodo and Benrahma collide heads in mid-air and the Fiorentina man needs a bit of treatment – but he’s fine to continue.

Gonzalez is claiming an elbow from Declan Rice. We can help him out: there wasn’t one.

The England midfielder may have brushed his hair with a fingertip but that’s about all. However, some plastic cups are thrown onto the pitch where Gonzalez lays holding his face, which is typically moronic and not at all called for.

Neither side really settled into bossing the game just yet.

Here we go then in Prague. Bonaventura spins on the edge of the box and tries to shoot early on – he manages nothing but air.

Straight up the other end, Antonio scuffs away a shot of his own which is saved easily at the near post.

Plenty of noise inside the ground and a couple of early shouts from Fiorentina players for free-kicks when there looks absolutely minimal contact.

We are ready for kick-off…and off we go!

Closing in on kick-off in Prague. Will it be Soucek and Coufal celebrating on home soil?

Another Czech, Vladimir Smicer, is out there on the pitch showing off the trophy. He did win in Europe of course, twice: the 2001 Uefa Cup and the 2005 Champions League, both with Liverpool.

Ahead of kick-off: Here’s Carlton Cole talking exclusively to the Independent on tonight’s final, his coaching career and more.

Will his former side be celebrating a couple of hours from now?

We are now a little under 20 minutes from kick-off in Prague and the players have been having their warm-up.

Carlton Cole, in the studio for BT, is talking about the Hammers’ goal threat – Michail Antonio is the team’s top scorer and it’s imperative they give him service tonight.

Luka Jovic leads the line for Fiorentina and he has six in Europe tonight – all close-range finishes, first time, headers and finishes. A lethal marksman when he’s in form.
