DURAN WITH THE PANENKA! Cool as you like from the former Aston Villa striker who dinks in the opener after winning the penalty himself. Celtic's tough task just got a whole lot harder...
4: PENALTY TO BENFICA! A nightmare start for Celtic - but they can have no complaints, Murray kicking Duran in the back of the leg as he goes to make a clearance in a crowded penalty area.
4: Really good start from Bournemouth with plenty of the ball and positive, attacking play. Tavernier has looked lively, curling in a good effort that Rodriguez can't quite meet. His brother, James, has strong pedigree in this competition with Rangers. Can he match it this season?
1: PEEP! The first whistle blows in Lisbon, Bournemouth and Brighton and this evening's 8pm kick-offs are up and running!
Sky Sports News' Mark McAdam at the Vitality:"An atmosphere like never before at Vitality Stadium." Lights, flames, fireworks, a tifo and for the first time ever at home Bournemouth in Europe. "Formed in 1899 on the site of a cherry orchard - this little corner of Kings Park has never seen anything quite like this before.
"It’s a match you’ll talk about for the rest of your life, a real 'I was there' moment, but only if Bournemouth win. "Strap yourselves in Cherries fans - this is what dreams are made of."
There is a minute's applause ahead of kick off tonight to remember former Brighton midfielder Doug Loft, who passed away last weekend. Loft signed for Brighton back in 2006 and made his Championship debut against Preston.
Benfica: Trubin, Bah, Araujo, Lenglet, Dahl, Palhinha, Aursnes, Lukebakio, Sudakov, Prestianni, Duran. Celtic: Sinisalo, Donovan, Murray, Trusty, Tierney, Baur, McGregor, Duran, Sorensen, Tounekti, Hogh.
Bournemouth: DPetrovic, Smith, Diakite, Silva, Soler, Adams, Cook, Gannon-Doak, Rodriguez, Tavernier, Evanilson.Strum Graz: Khudyakov, Quarshie, Stankovic, Seidl, P Petrovic, Malic, Beganovic, Balbo, Heil, Hodl, Matoshi.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler:"The focus is fully on tonight because it's a big game for us. "The Europe games are different. In the Premier League, you know what you can expect from the opponent. "In Europe, they come from a different league, a different culture. "Every club who has the right to play in the Conference League has quality, and therefore you can't underestimate anyone."
Sky Sports' Charlotte Marsh:"Bournemouth are preparing for their first-ever home European game as they welcome Sturm Graz this evening." They won their maiden Europa League appearance at Real Sociedad, and will be hoping to make it two from two at the Vitality." Austrian side Sturm Graz are European veterans though, competing internationally for the sixths successive season.
They beat Hearts in the qualifying rounds for the Champions League before losing to Fenerbahce for a spot in the league phase."
