There goes the final whistle! A 1-0 win for Zenit. Very fortunate three points, but they will take the win on the night.
De Sutter is booked for diving before knocking a cross by Molins inches wide of goal. Has been so frustrating for Anderlecht. Story of their night really.
We are into four minutes added on in this match...
Kerzhakov unloads a shot wide from 20 yards out. Plenty of power, but no direction. Awful play really by the Russia forward.
Yakovenko tries his luck from distance. Never really had any pace on the shot as Malafeev makes a comfortable save in his goal.
Hulk with a fine ball across the face of goal. Kerzhakov tries his luck from 12 yards out, but his shot is blocked. And Anderlecht survive.
Ball is dinked into the box by Hulk, but Bruno Alves can only flick the ball into the path off Proto who collects the loose ball.
Kouyate takes out Kerzhakov with a late challenge. Game raging from end to end with players tiring on a sticky surface.
Molins takes over from Wasilewski for the Belgians. Last throw of the dice.
Another chance for the visiting side, but this time Jovanović fails to hit the target. Frustration for Anderlecht continues.
Yakovenko throws the ball deep into the area, but Malafeev is off his line to punch the danger clear.
Kanu goes down. Not much in that, but the referee somehow saw a foul there by Witsel. All very soft. Free-kick out wide to the visiting side.
Anderlecht players looking stunned. Little wonder with this scoreline flattering the home side, and then some.
Deschacht dinks an inviting cross into the middle, but there are no takers on hand to convert as Malafeev comes off his line to pluck the ball out of the air.
Witsel is deemed to be offside, and on we go with Zenit holding this 1-0 clear as we approach the final 10 minutes of the contest.
Lombaerts seemed to be pulling the shirt of Yakovenko in the box. Big decision for the referee. Looks to be a penalty, but the referee thinks otherwise.
Bruno Alves is the latest man to be introduced with Shirokov departing the scene for Zenit.
Gillet clatters Bystrov, and there is going to be another free-kick chance here for Zenit just outside the visiting box.
Yakovenko takes over from Praet for the visiting side.
Anderlecht trying to drag themselves back into a game they really should be leading. A change coming here for the Belgian side.
