FT
There goes the final whistle and APOEL Nicosia have registered their first ever victory in the Champions League group stages!

90'
ZENIT SUB: Bukharov replaces Hubocan.

Faitzulin floats in a lovely cross but Lombaerts' header is just wide!
88'
Despite having 10-men, Zenit are throwing the kitchen sink at APOEL!
87'
Zenit are just inches away from equalising! Faitzulin jabs the ball goalwards and beats Chiotis but sees his shot come back off the post!
85'
Zenit win a free-kick on the edge of the box. Lazovic plays a clever ball across the top of the area but the resultant shot is well blocked by a yellow shirt.
84'
Kerzhakov is given a sniff but can't get his shot away and APOEL clear.

Lazovic runs into trouble on the right wing and is dispossessed.

ZENIT SUB: Zyryanov makes way for Lazovic.
79'
What can 10-man Zenit muster in the final 11 minutes?
78'
ZENIT SUB: Faitzulin comes on for the visitors in place of Shirokov.
76'
It's gone from bad to worse for Zenit! Bruno Alves brings down Ailton to stop Ailton breaking forward and the Portugese defender is shown his second yellow card. The visitors are down to 10 men!
75'
GOAL! The game has been turn on its head! Ailton latches onto a neat through-ball on the left side of the box and curls his finish past Malafeev and into the far corner!
74'
APOEL SUB: Poursaitides makes way for Solomou.
73'
GOAL! Manduca equalises! A mis-cued shot from the edge of the box falls straight to Manduca, who makes no mistake from six yards!
71'
Paulo Jorge and Paulo Jorge are both booked by the Spanish referee, who is very quick to reach into his pocket.
70'
Zenit were very casual throughout the first have but really have stepped up a gear after the break and look very comfortable.
