Match report in news

  • 93'
    FT: Real Madrid 2-1 Shakhtar Donetsk! An at-times nervy victory for the hosts, but three points and top spot in the group for the time being is all they will care about. They were far from their best, but three points in front of their own fans are the only thing that matters. Plenty of room for improvement, but the Spanish side are masters of their own destiny and in control of their progress to the last 16 with two games to play.

    Corner awarded to Real Madrid and Toni Kroos takes it.
  • 76'
    A fizzing left-footed effort from the visiting captain, after collecting Alan Patrick's pass around 20 metres out from goal, flies narrowly over Courtois' crossbar, with the Belgian goalkeeper at full stretch.
  • 75'
    Madrid appear to be content to sit back here – but their back line is wobbling a bit. A big ask to see this one out for 20 minutes.

    GOAL for Real Madrid! The skipper nets again! He finished off a fine Real Madrid move, choc full of one and two-touch passing as the hosts stretch the Shakhtar defence from one side of the pitch to the other. Vinícius Júnior collects a pass out on the right before embarking towards goal. He picks out Casemiro, whose clever flick allows the 21-year-old to tee up his skipper by the penalty spot, and the French international sweeps a low, right-footed strike just inside the upright.
  • 59'
    The Belgian international stoops to collect Tete's low, left-footed effort that bounces awkwardly in front of the goalkeeper, however the 29-year-old home custodian holds on to the effort.
  • 54'
    Alan Patrick is penalised for a foul on Kroos.
  • 53'
    Tete has a shot blocked Mendy.
  • 50'
    Large cheers from the crowd as Marcelo and Asensio are sent to warm up. Jovic joins the duo now. With five subs permitted, Ancelotti has plenty of scope to shuffle his pack.
  • 47'
    Stepanenko concedes a free-kick for a foul on Lucas Vazquez.
  • 46'
    The second half begins!
  • 45'
    HT: Real Madrid 1-1 Shakhtar! An entertaining half is brought to a close. Real Madrid had the best of the opening exchanges, but were given a warning when Alan Patrick struck the post. Benzema and company have failed to capitalise on their opener, and the visitors have grown in stature, arguably finishing the half as the better side.
  • 44'
    The visitors are in the ascendency here! Shakhtar pounce on a loose pass in midfield and Alan Patrick's clever through ball splits the home defence.
  • 42'
    Stepanenko is penalised for a foul on Casemiro.

Goaaaaaal!
de Shakhtar Donetsk en el 39'
  • 39'
    GOAL for Shakhtar Donetsk! The visitors have looked more likely to score since going behind and they find their equaliser! Matviyenko lofts a delightful pass from just inside the Real Madrid half towards Alan Patrick on the edge of the box. The 30-year-old cleverly chests the ball down for the run of the forward, who gets there first ahead of Alaba's lunge to send a thumping half-volley into the roof of the net.

  • 39'
    Mendy is cautioned by the referee for a foul on Tete.
  • 32'
    What an opportunity to draw level! Mudryk threads the ball through a gap in the home defence for the 22-year-old forward to latch on to, but he can only scoop his left-footed half-volley agonisingly wide of the far post.
  • 30'
    The visitors appear to have settled a bit after their early setback. They're targeting Madrid's right-hand side, with Mudryk's pace and directness troubling Carvajal.
  • 23'
    Mendy is penalised for a foul on Dodo.
  • 21'
    Ismaily is adjudged to be in an offside position.
  • 17'
    Modric has an attempt on goal, but Trubin makes a superb save! The goalkeeper denies the veteran midfielder once again!

  • 14'
    GOAL for Real Madrid! RM have their 1000th in the competition, and fitting for the skipper to clinch it! A searching Militao cross-field pass, looking for Benzema, appears to have been dealt with by the visiting defence. Trubin plays the ball to Marlon in the penalty area, but his heavy touch allows Vini Jr to steal in. The forward races to the byline and tees up his captain, who taps in from close range.
  • 10'
    Alan Patrick's shot hits the post! The visitors almost shock Real Madrid once again! Alan Patrick picks up the loose ball and fires a low effort that skids off the turf and cannons against the base of the post.
  • 8'
    Bad foul by Fernando on Lucas Vazquez.
  • 7'
    Alaba concedes a free-kick for a foul on Alan Patrick.
  • 7'
    Vini Jr earns a corner for Madrid, conceded by Marlon.
  • 5'
    Modric has an attempt on goal, but it was a superb stop from the visitors' keeper! Modric almost caps a crisp passing display from the hosts, playing a couple of one-twos with Lucas Vázquez to burst into the box before prodding a right-footed effort towards goal, with the 20-year-old pulling off a one-handed reaction save to divert the strike out for a corner.
  • 3'
    Firts foul by Ismaily on Modric.

    Modric has a shot blocked by Matviyenko.

    Ancelotti's side are one goal away from netting their 1000th goal in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League. They would be the first team to reach this milestone in the competition.

    There's one big surprise in De Zerbi's XI as 20-year-old Mudryk is given his first UEFA Champions League start. He is preferred to Solomon on the left wing.

    Lucas Vazquez is chosen to partner Vinicius Junior and Benzema in the front line. All the pre-game talk was Hazard or Asensio, but they'll have to settle for a place on the bench.
  • PRVW
    Shakhtar are one of three sides yet to get off the mark in front of goal in this season's competition.
