Full time. 1-0 Shakhtar and well deserved.
Stankovic comes on in place of Krstajic.
Gai hits the post! A neat pull-back from Willian finds the midfielder on the edge of the area, his left-footed effort hits the inside of the right hand post, rolls along the goal line before being cleared.
Krstajic has a header saved from Tomic's corner. All of a sudden Pyatov is a busy man.
Pyatov has to make two saves in quick succession. Tomic has two efforts on goal, both from outside the area, but the Shakhtar stopper tips both efforts away.
Adriano comes on in place of Vitsenets.
Cleo shoots wide from 30 yards out. Pyatov had it covered though.
A deep cross from Srna is messily cleared by Savić - confusion ensues as his clearance goes no further than the 18 yard box. They eventually get it away though.
Smiljanić fouls Teixeira and a FK is given. Srna curls in the free kick from 28 yards out, it dips low and beats Stojkovic at his bottom right post. Great technique. Harsh on Stojkovic though, great performance tonight.
1-0 Shakhtar!
And they so nearly do! A free kick from the right finds Krstajić at the back post. He lofts the ball back in but it's cleared off the line by Rakitskiy.
It would be hilarious if Partizan nicked this.
Shakhtar taste blood now. but with two forwards up against NINE Partizan players in the penalty area alone, it'll take something special to win this one.
And ANOTHER amazing save from Stojkovic. Srna crosses from the byline and Luiz Adriano has so much free space it's ridiculous, and his header is heading for the back of the net, but a reflex save from Stojkovic tips the ball over the bar.
A through ball fo Adriano but a spot of good defending from Lazevski blocks his run and Stojkovic can clear.
Partizan break! Boya runs on to a through ball on the right wing and pulls it back for Miljkovic to cross. Cleo gets his head on it, but it's behind him and incredibly low and floats harmlessly wide.
Iliev is coming off for Partizan in place of Boya. While Jadson is replaced by Teixeira. I didn't even realise Iliev was playing to be honest. Anonymous.
4-0 Arsenal. Fabregas again. I'd love a goal here. Not even four. Just the one would do.
This is relentless from Shakhtar. But if I was Lucescu right now, I'd get Eduardo on. Saying that, he coudl probably do a better job than his forwards in this game. Profligate.
He smothered that ball, absolutley threw himself at it. Very brave.
