Rubin Kazan host Panathinaikos in their Champions League Group D clash at the Central Stadium with both sides desperate for maximum points.

The full-time whistle goes at the Central Stadium, and Rubin Kazan and Panathinaikos play out a pretty poor goalless draw in their Champions League Group D clash. Thanks for joining us.

Govou blasts a wild shot from range which sails way over the bar, and that is a poor attempt late on.

Just two minutes will be added at the end of this second half, and that shows how few challenges have been made.

The visitors are boxed into their half and cannot escape, but they hang on for now.

Martins has looked very bright in the final third, but the service has not given him a chance.

The hosts are dominating, but they simply cannot break the deadlock here.

Rubin keep the ball in the visitors' half, and surely they will score soon!

Marinos is booked for a poor challenge on Noboa, and that is certainly a booking.

Martins ghosts into the box and somehow fails to convert a Noboa cross - what a delivery!

Cisse and Govou have a mix up in the final third, and that is poor from the France duo.

Govou heads narrowly wide, and that is a decent chance for the Frenchman!

Silva and Martins combine, and the visitors are slowly beginning to get into the match.

Karagounis is withdrawn as Christodoulopoulos (phew!) comes on to replace the skipper.

Two stunning saves from Tzorvas! Cesar Navas and Kornilenko both have close-range efforts saved superbly by the keeper, who is keeping his side in it!

Gilberto Silva hammers a wild shot from range, but again it does not test Ryzhikov.

Simao attempts an ambitious drive from range, but Ryzhikov makes a fine stop to his left.

Noboa and Karagounis battle away once more in midfield, all in the visitors' half.

Karagounis is typically dramatic as he is rightly booked for a mistimed challenge.

Another change is made as Obafemi Martins comes on to replace Eduardo. That makes more sense.

Karadeniz replaces Kasaev, and that is quite surprising - he has played very well!
