I've been following the Cherries since I was eleven in 1954 and they were in the Third Division south. Now at the age of 83 I am still following them from my current home in Berlin. Come on you cherries, you're 1-0 up and I love you all.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Lech playing well right now and Radoslaw Murawski hammers a shot over the bar from distance.
Real Sociedad 0-2 Bournemouth
It was so, so good from Alex Scott.
A brilliant little pick out and Rayan just had to direct the header on target.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Lech striker Mikael Ishak's second big chance of the game. He runs onto a ball through the middle, lets it bounce and hits a half-volley just over the bar. He was through on goal but maybe the defenders were going to catch him.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Yeremy Pino's goal was his first since January when he scored in back-to-back games against Macclesfield and Sunderland (both 2-1 defeats).
Rayan (20 mins)
Unbelievable stuff.
This is a wonderful ball by Alex Scott to find the run of Rayan towards the back post. He gets his head on it at the angle and directs into the far corner.
The travelling fans are going crazy!

Time for Bournemouth to sit in and defend their box as Real step on to them more now they find themselves behind.
No bother for the Cherries, though, they deal with the danger.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Lech have a decent spell but now it's back to Palace on the attack. They have a corner but end up going all the way back to the keeper.

First Cherries game? Versus York City, 1 May 1971. Won 4-0 that day and promotion from Division 4. What a strange and wonderful trip it has been.

Former Bournemouth defender on BBC Radio Solent
What a goal!
Truffert is such an up-and-down left back and he gets himself forward really well. He gets found, and it is a lovely ball into the centre, and Kluivert is miles onside, and [provides] a lovely finish.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Yeremy Pino has had the last three shots in this game.
Real Sociedad 0-1 Bournemouth
Bournemouth are in absolute dreamland here.
What a start.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Another Yeremy Pino chance but this time the Palace man fires over from outside the box.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Palace continue to probe but Chris Richards gets a pass wrong and it rolls out of play.
Justin Kluivert (11 mins)
History for Bournemouth!
Adrien Truffert bursts up the left wing and plays in a delicious cross into the path of Justin Kluivert, who is about a centimetre on side.
He makes no mistake to score the Cherries' first European goal.

Onside for me...
Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Yeremy Pino is now Crystal Palace's joint third all-time European goalscorer - with two goals...
Real Sociedad 0-0 Bournemouth
I'm not so sure about this one.
We've got a long wait going on and this may get overturned.
Real Sociedad 0-0 Bournemouth
Justin Kluivert thinks he's just side-footed Bournemouth into the lead but the offside flag quickly goes up as he wheels away in celebration.
It's tight...
Crystal Palace 1-0 Lech Poznan
Robbie Savage on TNT reckons it was a foul throw by Terry Yegbe on top of that. Bet he wishes the referee had blown for that...
