Full-time: APOEL Nicosia 0-3 Real Madrid. The dream is all but over for the Cypriot team.
GOAL! Ronaldo and Ozil combine to set up Benzema for his second and Madrid's third. Almost identical to the chance he missed in the first half. This time he makes no mistake.
CHANCE! Long range effort from Marcelo fizzes just wide of the post.
CHANCE Chiotis manages to take the ball off the head of Benzema lurking dangerously.
Kaka has really made a difference since coming on. Made one, scored one.
Real Madrid back a change, Esteban Granero comes on for Nuri Sahin.
GOAL! Kaka makes it 2-0 to Real Madrid. The two subs combine to extend Madrid's lead. Marcelo beats Paolo Jorge and pulls the ball back for Kaka, who guides the ball into the back of the net.
Incredible noise being made by the home fans. Fantastic support.
It's wave after wave of attack now - can APOEL keep the score to 1-0?
CHANCE! Chiotis races off his line to save at the feet of Benzema.
CHANCE! Chiotis spills a shot from Ozil, but APOEL manage to scramble the ball clear.
CHANCE! Benzema pulls the ball back for Ronaldo, unmarked in the box, but the Real Madrid attacker is denied by the legs of Chiotis.
GOAL! There's the breakthrough. Second half substitute Kaka sends in a brilliant cross from the left and Benzema makes it count with a diving header. It's an away goal for Real Madrid.
Nicosia make their final change, with Esteban Solari coming on for Helio Pinto.
CHANCE! Benzema fires a shot just wide of the target. Another chance goes begging.
CHANCE! Ronaldo, Ozil and Ramos all fail in a bid to break the deadlock. APOEL are defending bravely.
Double substitution by Mourinho. Gonzalo Higuain makes way for Kaka and Marcelo replaces Fabio Coentrao.
Sadly, his hard work amounts to nothing as the free kick is wasted...
Fantastic stuff from Ailton. He wins a free kick for APOEL in a dangerous position. The Brazilian striker has been brilliant, working tirelessly up front on his own.
There's still plenty of time to go and Madrid are piling on the pressure - either APOEL will tire and Madrid will take advantage of this or Mourinho's men will get more and more frustrated and APOEL will grow in strength.
