41'

Ukraine

Seleznyov throws himself to the ground in search of a free-kick after a minro collision with a visiting player. The referee is having none of it and rightly so. His dive was embarassing.

Ukraine are well on top with just five mintues to play until half-time.

39'

Ukraine

Yarmalenko fizzes a cross into the penalty area but none of his team mates anticipated the delivery and goes harmlessly for a goal-kick.

38'

Ukraine

Garmash connects with a header from the corner but can't direct his effort on target.

37'

Ukraine

Rybalka drills a shot at goal, it takes a wicked deflection, and with the goalkeeper rooted to the spot, the ball goes inches wide of the post. Ukraine have a corner.

Slovenia

Kampl, playing off the striker, tries to find Novakovic with a through ball but it's intercepted and Ukraine have the ball again.

SAVE! Yarmolenko, the goalscorer, tees off Rybalka who strikes a first-timed shot from distance forcing Handanovic into a good save. The rebound is cleared.

32'

Ukraine

The home fans are making noise aplenty at the moment and they have every right to - their side have been magnificent so far.

31'

Ukraine

Shevchuk, once again, finds himself in an advanced position on the flank and tries to deliver a cross into the penalty area but it's blocked and the last touch was off the 36-year-old.

30'

Ukraine

We've reached the half hour mark and it's Ukraine who have the lead - a deserved one as well.

28'

Slovenia

The visitors are slowly catching their grip on this match as they put Ukraine under some pressure now.

27'

Slovenia

OVER! Ilicic fires a shot over the bar from the edge of the penalty box - he should have at least hit the target.

Ukraine

BLOCK! Konoplyanka, on the channel, finds Garmash in space on the edge of the penalty area but the Ukraine midfielder can only fire his shot straight at a defender.
