90+3'

Full time! Shaktar have beaten Chelsea in impressive fashion though a late fade meant they had to hold on to keep all three points!

90+2'

Shaktar win a pair of free-kicks in the middle of the park which are effective in cooling Chelsea's momentum as they try to press forward. Time ticking away.

90+1'

Three added minutes for Chelsea to try and snach an unlikely point.

90'

Dangerous cross from the right by Fernandinho, but Terry with a crucial interception! Ball comes the way of Mkhitaryan who again tests Cech but the keeper holds on.

89'

GOAL! Chelsea with a lifeline! Sturridge fouled on the right but Ivanovic takes over with advantage, crossing low for Oscar to finish. There's your Brazilian flavour!

88'

Willian comes off and Douglas Costa is his replacement. Plenty of Brazilian flavour at the Dombass, both starting and from the bench.

87'

Luiz takes the 30+ yarder, but hits the wall.

86'

Delay to the free-kick as Ramires receives treatment.

85'

Lovely turn begins a dangerous dribble down the middle of the pitch from Ramires, drawing a check from Hubschman which earns him a yellow.

83'

Fernandinho's lovely dummy almost creates another golden chance for the Ukraine side, but it's the same player who ruins it with a handball.

82'

Opening scorer Teixeira makes way for Ilsinho in the hosts' first substitution.

80'

Luiz enters the book for a push on Willian.

79'

Chelsea go direct from the goal kick and Hazard's attempt to flick a ball over Kyatov is well thwarted by Pyatov, who has had a good game in goal for Donetsk.

78'

The set piece is headed from goal but a follow-up cross from the right is headed down by Adriano to Kucher! He didn't know it was coming and the ball ricochets off his leg and just wide!

77'

Teixeira frustrates Terry by holding up the ball near the right-hand corner flag and drawing a petulant foul.

75'

A rare moment of complacency from the home side at the back almost allows Sturridge in, but they clear up their mess.

74'

Chelsea counter but a fluid through-pass to Hazard should have been squared to Sturridge at the far post. Instead, the big-money summer signing tamely shoots straight at Pyatov.

73'

Another tiki-taka attack from Shakhtar and it's Mkhitaryan again with the shot. Cech holds onto this one.

72'

This is a great period of play from the home side. All of their Brazilian attackers have a hand in a neat move which ends with Adriano having a shot saved.
