Good evening and thank you for joining Sports Mole for live text commentary of the Europa League match between Trabzonspor and Juventus at the Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium.

TRABZONSPOR XI: Onur Kivrak, Bosingwa, Mustafa Yumlu, Aykut Demir, Kadir Keles, Bourceanu, Ozer Hurmaci, Zokora, Olcan Adin, Mierzejewski, Malouda, Janko

JUVENTUS XI: Buffon, Caceres, Bonucci, Ogbonna, Isla, Vidal, Marchisio, Pogba, Peluso, Osvaldo, Giovinco

TRABZONSPOR SUBS: Zeki Ayvaz, Zeki Yavru, Caner Osmanpasa, Colman, Bourceanu, Emre Gural, Paulo Henrique

JUVENTUS SUBS: Storari, Barzagli, Lichtsteiner, Pirlo, Padoin, Tevez, Llorente

Juventus keep some of their big names on the bench, as Osvaldo and Giovinco start up front ahead of Llorente and Tevez. Pirlo is also on the bench, but Pogba and Marchisio start in the midfield. The home side have former Chelsea man Malouda in their attack, with Janko leading the line.

KICKOFF! We are underway at the Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium!

Juventus have started this game well and are pegging Trabzonspor back deep inside their own half. They look determined to grab a quick goal and put this tie to bed.

OFF THE POST! Juventus are close to finding that early goal, as Isla is picked out in acres of space on the edge of the box, before drilling a strike across the keeper and against the far post.

Giovinco is keen to make an impression for the visitors tonight and he fires a free kick just wide of the post, via the help of a slight deflection.

CHANCE! From the resulting corner, Giovinco plays the ball to Marchisio, who has plenty of time to set himself and fire in an effort that Kivrak does well to beat away.

CHANCE! It looks like Kivrak is going to be in for a busy evening, as he blocks Pogba's powerful volleyed effort from the edge of the area.

DISALLOWED GOAL! It is all Juventus in the opening stages and they have now had a goal ruled out. Following a corner kick, Pogba drills in a low strike that is saved by the keeper, and Peluso follows up to put the rebound into the net, but he was standing in an offside position.

The home side can't get a touch on the ball at the moment, and it is so easy for Juventus to play the ball around their midfield. They have certainly shown why they are top of the Serie A table.

GOAL! Trabzonspor 0-1 Juventus (Vidal)

Juventus finally take the lead and you can't say it hasn't been coming. Giovinco sees his close range strike well saved by the keeper, but Vidal arrives to slam the rebound into the roof of the net. Surely now the Bianconeri are heading into the last 16 as their 3-0 aggregate lead looks far too big a mountain for Trabzonspor to come back from.

DISALLOWED GOAL! The visitors have the ball in the back of the net, but for the second time this evening it is disallowed. The ball is crossed in from the right and headed on by Vidal for Osvaldo to tap in at the back post, but Vidal was offside when he initially made contact.

Trabzonspor come forward and the ball is worked to Mierzejewski on the edge of the box. He looks to find the top corner, but ends up firing a strike high over the bar.

Juventus have looked brilliant on the break this evening and they come forward with pace again. Vidal is eventually played in down the right hand side and he delivers a low ball across goal that is just diverted beyond the reach of Isla at the back post.

Since taking the lead we haven't quite seen the early attacking onslaught from Juventus, but they look well in control, and the more likely of the sides to get a second goal.

GOAL! Trabzonspor 0-2 Juventus (Osvaldo)

It looks like it is going to be a long evening for Trabzospor, as the visitors grab their second goal. Giovinco latches onto a ball over the top and picks out Osvaldo inside the six-yard box to nod into the back of the net. It was all too easy for Juventus, who can start thinking about their match against AC Milan at the weekend, with a 4-0 aggregate lead.

SUBSTITUTION: Juventus are indeed thinking of Sunday's clash at the San Siro, as Pogba heads off to be replaced by Padoin.

Osvaldo is almost in again for the visitors as he charges towards the edge of the box, but Bosingwa does well to get back and win the ball before the striker can get a shot away.

CHANCE! Juventus should have a third goal, as Giovinco floats a wonderful ball to the back post for Vidal, who then sees his low effort well blocked by the keeper.

There is going to be one minute of added time at the end of the half.

HALF-TIME: Trabzonspor 0-2 Juventus

The first half comes to an end with Juventus in complete control. They have a 2-0 lead on the night, and are four goals ahead on aggregate. There is simply no way back for the home side, and they are lucky not to have conceded any more.

Surprisingly, Trabzonspor have had the same amount of possession as Juventus in the first half. The Italians used the ball far better and had 13 shots on goal compared to the Turkish outfits two attempts.

There are certainly more goals in the second half for Juventus, but they may conserve their energy for league action at the weekend. You can read our half time report on the events in Turkey here.

Antonio Conte has already substituted Pogba and he may be looking to bring off Vidal at the break, as there is no need for them to risk an injury or a card at this stage.

The players are making their way out of the tunnel and the second half will be kicking off shortly.

We are back underway!

SUBSTITUTION: The home side have made a change at half time, with Osmanpasa replacing Bosingwa.

CHANCE! Juventus start the second half as they begun the first, and almost score again. Peluso plays a wonderful ball over the top for Osvaldo, but with just the keeper to beat, the striker completely mishits the ball up into the air, allowing the keeper to claim it with ease.

CHANCE! It is so easy for Juventus to get in behind the Trabzonspor defence as Giovinco is slipped into the box. His shot across goal beats the keeper, but Demir manages to get back and clear his effort off the line.

Trabzonspor will have a rare chance to get a number of players into the box, as Peluso gives away a free kick for a foul on Bosingwa.

The ball is played short to Zokora who chips an effort into the box, but is it easily cleared by the Juventus defence.

CHANCE! The visitors break quickly after they clear the free kick and Giovinco is played into the box, before seeing his low shot blocked by the keeper. The ball eventually comes out to Marchisio, who lashes a strike wide of the post.

SUBSTITUTION: Barzagli comes on for Juventus in place of Caceres.

CHANCE! The chances keep coming for Juventus, and it is a wonder how they have only scored twice. Osvaldo is given acres of space down the right, and he charges into the box before blasting a shot just over the crossbar.

Juventus surely won't have an easier game all season, as they are still comfortably in command. They are not being closed down at all, and it is taking very little effort for them to get in behind.

Ogbonna collects the ball in defence and charges forward down the left wing before going down under pressure inside the box, but the referee feels that he made the most of it and waves play on.

Janko collects the ball outside the box and tries to pick out the top corner, but his strike fails to trouble Buffon and goes high over the bar.

The home side win a free kick 25 yards out from goal that Adin steps up to take. He bends an effort over the wall and gets his strike on target, but it is far too central and is easily saved by Buffon.

SUBSTITUTION: Pirlo is going to come on for the closing stages of the match, as he replaces Marchisio in the centre of midfield.

SUBSTITUTION: The home side also make a substitution, as Bourceanu comes on for Mierzejewski.

CHANCE! Osvaldo does brilliantly on the edge of the box to backhell the ball into the path of Padoin, and the midfielder sees his low shot pushed behind by the keeper.

The pace of this game has really slowed down now, with Juventus knocking the ball around between their centre backs under no pressure at all. The Turkish fans have not stopped singing all night though and they would surely love to see a goal from their team.

CHANCE! Giovinco has had countless opportunities to grab a goal this evening, and he comes close again when he is played through on goal but sees his effort from a tight angle blocked by Kivrak.

CHANCE! What a miss this is! Juventus win a free kick on the edge of the box that Pirlo looks set to take. In the end, it is Giovinco who curls in a strike that is beaten away by Kivrak into the path of Peluso, but from just a few yards out and with the goal gaping, he fires an effort over the bar.

The Trabzonspor keeper has had a brilliant game this evening and he denies Juventus again, when he rushes out quickly to block at the feet of Osvaldo. Without him, the hosts would surely have let in far more than the two they already have.

Hurmaci tries his luck for the hosts with an effort from long range, but it would have to be an exceptional strike to beat Buffon from such distance, and the keeper comfortably saves.

CHANCE! Trabzonspor have their best opportunity of the evening, as Hurmaci turns well on the edge of the box, before drilling a strike just wide of the post with Buffon at full stretch.

We are going to have two minutes of stoppage time.

FULL-TIME: Trabzonspor 0-2 Juventus (Juventus win 4-0 on aggregate)

Juventus have made it through to the last 16 of the Europa League, after a comfortable win in Turkey. They won 2-0 on the night thanks to goals from Vidal and Osvaldo, to earn a 4-0 aggregate victory. They should have scored more, but for wasteful finishing and a good goalkeeping display from Onur Kivrak.

That's all we've got time for here. Please stay with us at Sports Mole for all of tonight's results and the latest news. Until next time, goodbye!
