Ajax are seeing much more of the ball, but the Valencia pressure is excellent, they are making it very difficult for Ajax to get out of their own half, never mind near the final third.

Stoppage in play here as Gabriel is down with an injury after being clattered into by Tadic and the centre-back appears to be in a lot of pain. Not sure if he will be able to continue for Valencia.

Valencia have only kept a clean sheet in two of their last 15 games in the Champions League, including only one in their most recent nine.

Indeed, they conceded three goals in the reverse fixture against Ajax at Mestalla — only once have they ever conceded more in a Champions League game v Inter Milan in October Blind fires a low strike towards goal from around 25 yards out, but three Ajax players are caught offside as it comes into the box.

Ajax have made a substitution ahead of the second half, with Alvarez replaced by Dest. The other game in Group H is between Chelsea and Lille, which the English side are currently winning Ajax will have to come out fighting in the second half and level the scoreline, if they are to avoid the Europa League.

There have been a few too many sloppy passes by the hosts, which is starting to frustrate their supporters. Valencia lead at the break, with Rodrigo firing the visitors into the lead after 24 minutes, which means that they will progress to the knockout stages, whilst Ajax will finish third.

It's been a lively game, with Ajax on top for large periods, but unable to find the breakthrough goal, before Rodrigo slotted home from close range for the Spanish side.

Van de Beek and Lang went close right at the end of the half for Ajax, before Rodrigo almost scored a second just before the break, only to be denied by Onana.

Rodrigo is denied a second by the feet of Onana! Gamerio shapes up to shoot on the edge of the box, but instead lays it out wide to Rodrigo, who beats his markers and then drills a lot shot towards goal, however, Onana makes a strong save.

OFF THE LINE! Gaya flicks the ball off the line just in the nick of time! So close to an equaliser for Ajax. Van de Beek chips the ball over the keeper from a tight angle and it appears to be heading into the back of the net, but the left-back reads it well and denies the hosts.

There's not long left to play until the break here, can Ajax get back into the game before the half-time whistle? Or, will Valencia manage to extend their lead?

Only against AEK Athens and Lyon both four have Ajax played more Champions League games without ever losing than they have versus Valencia three , while Valencia have only met Bayern Munich more often five times without winning in the competition than they have against the Dutch club.

Lovely ball into the penalty area from Ziyech and Lang is just inches away from poking that into the back of the net from close range. However, Domenech gets a hand to it in the nick of time and punches it clear.

Valencia are starting to look more and more comfortable, furstrating Ajax by keeping the ball and pressing them quickly and high up the pitch, so when the hosts do get on the ball, they are unable to get time and space in possession.

Nothing on up front for Ajax at the moment, they seem to be trying to score the perfect goal, by walking it into the penalty area.

Playing too many passes in the final third. As we pass the half an hour mark here and it's to Valencia, with Rodrigo's strike separating the two sides.

The Ajax supporters are getting a little agitated. Ajax have to come out fighting now, as it stands they will be knocked out of the Champions League and enter the Europa League, with Chelsea and Valencia going through from Group H.

Ajax were sloppy in possession, giving the ball far too easily and Valencia take advantage. Torres looks like he is going to shoot from the edge of the box, but instead lays it through the Ajax defence to Rodrigo.

Valencia take the lead, it's ! Rodrigo smashes the ball into the back of the net from close range, beating Onana at his near post.

Torres fakes to shoot, passes to Rodrigo instead, who is well onside as Veltman is slow to get out. The home supporters are whistling every time Valencia get on the ball and each goal-kick or set piece, as the visitors are starting to take their time, trying to slow the pace down and disrupt the Ajax momentum.

Both teams are struggling to get the ball down on the ground and dominate possession at the moment, it's quite scrappy and we are yet to see a goalscoring chance.

However, at the moment there is too much of a gap between the forwards and midfield. Genk's Maarten Vandevoordt, who at 17 years and days became the youngest goalkeeper to play in the Champions League, had a nightmare start as he gave the ball away under pressure, allowing Milik to score in the third minute.

The Pole fired the second in the 26th minute and converted a penalty in the 38th before Dries Mertens, on his th appearance for Napoli, completed the scoring with another penalty 15 minutes from time.

The result means Napoli finish runners-up in Group E with 12 points, one behind Liverpool, while Genk finished bottom of the group with one point.

Red Bull Salzburg's campaign ended with a defeat to Liverpool , meaning they finish third to qualify for the last 32 of the Europa League.

Elsewhere, Lyon had to come from behind against group-winners Leipzig to earn the point they needed to progress.

Dutch striker Memphis Depay found the back of the net eight minutes from full-time after Houssem Aouar's superb second-half goal had reduced the deficit.

The Ligue 1 conceded two first-half penalties in a catastrophic start at the Groupama Stadium. It was a bad night for Zenit St Petersburg , who were heading for the last of the Champions League until Lyon scored their equaliser in the last ten minutes.
