30'
Igor Smolnikov with a surging run into the Vienna box, but nobody on hand to tuck away the cutback. We remain at 0-0.
29'
Simkovic with the corner for Vienna, but Holland rises to head past the post. Was a chance with Lodigin rooted to his spot that time.
28'
Not sure what Lodigin is doing in the Zenit goal. Came miles out off his line to palm clear a high ball. No real need for that.
27'
Witsel back on his feet looking a bit groggy, but we can play on here after a slight delay.

Meanwhile, Witsel is down on the deck needing a spot of treatment after taking a blow to the cheekbone after trying to meet a header in front of the Vienna goal.
25'
Nicolas Lombaerts with a header at the opposition goal that is frantically scrambled away.

Royer has picked up a yellow card for a late challenge.
23'
Leovac warned by the referee after careering into a late challenge on the back of Hulk. Fortunate to avoid a yellow card for that one.
22'
Zenit with an enormous 67 percent of possession. The game being played in the Austria Vienna half, but no goals as yet.
21'
Shatov's corner fails to pick out a Zenit head before Ortlechner concedes a free-kick for a foul on Kerzhakov. Zenit again in possession.

Fine diving stop by Lindner as he threw himself to his right to claw away the Hulk shot. Plenty of venom on the hit, but repelled by the Austria Vienna goalkeeper.
19'
It was Suttner who threw himself in front of that previous Danny shot, but here come Zenit again..
18'
Austria Vienna trying to get up the park as much as possible, but it is evident they are lacking the quality in depth of Zenit if not the effort.
17'
Danny sees an effort block by a white shirt after being picked out by Witsel. Bright play by Zenit without the end product.
16'
Austrian teams are on a run of nine consecutive defeats in the Champions League - Sturm Graz & Rapid Vienna & Austria Vienna.
15'
Alexander Kerzhakov almost on the end of the Hulk pass. Right idea, but the pass was just too strong.

Royer with a spinning swerving shot from distance. Straight at Lodygin, who makes the stop. Just. Didn't cope well with that effort. No takers on the rebound for the visiting side.

Hulk sees a shot come back off the woordwork after some bright play with Danny. So fortunate for Austria Vienna to survive that one.
12'
Igor Smolnikov lifts a cross straight into the arms of Lindner in the visiting goal. Poor delivery. All a bit aimless.
11'
Manuel Ortlechner with the clearance from the Hulk cross. Decent position, but the final ball not really there from the Brazilian.
10'
This is the first competitive meeting between the two sides. The only Champions League encounter between Russian and Austrian sides was in the 1998/99 group stages between Spartak Moscow and Sturm Graz. The Russians won 2-0 in Graz before a 0-0 draw in the Russian capital.
