Shaparenko fires a last-minute free-kick just wide but Juventus start their Champions League campaign with a win and it's a satisfying evening for Andrea Pirlo. Juventus were not at their sparkling best, though, and Cristiano Ronaldo was sorely missed. Nevertheless Juve will be happy to taking home all three points ahead of their mouthwatering clash against Barcelona in matchday 2.
GOOD SAVE! From Szczesny to deny Sydorchuk's swerving low effort from 25-yards out! Juve's number one has had a solid game.
THREE of added time.
SUB! Garmash is on for Buyalskyy.

GOAL! Morata scores again with a nice finish to surely seal all three points for Juve! It's a fantastic cross from Cuadrado down the right and he nods in on the run! Surely all over now.

Rodrigues sprints down the right and wins a corner off Danilo. The Kiev crowd roar their side on. They sense opportunity here. The corner swung out is headed clear to the edge of the box. Sydorchuk hits it on the half volley but Szczesny catches the bouncing effort.
OVER! Cuadrado down the right pegs the ball back for Ramsey but he fires first-time well over the crossbar.
SUBS! Dynamo are switching things up. Popov and Verbic are on for Karavaev and Tsygankov.

B. Verbic

V. Tsyhankov
We're now at a snails pace. Can Kiev find a way to get a goal? They are struggling to even construct any attacking moves.
Juventus are slowly passing inside their own half. The Kiev fans are growing restless with Juve seemingly content to preserve their one goal lead for now.
SUB! De Pena comes off for Luxembourg international Gerson Rodrigues.
Aside from the goal it has not been a particularly enthralling second half so far. Morata's goal is the difference but Pirlo will be expecting more from his side against Dynamo who seem happy to soak up any pressure that comes their way in their rigid 4-1-4-1 shape.
SUB! Dybala is on for Kulusevski. Not the worst of subs...
On
P. Dybala
Off
D. Kulusevski
YELLOW! For Cuadrado after a poor sliding challenge which catches Karavaev.
Yellow card
J. Cuadrado
GOAL! Just 50 seconds into the second half and Juventus lead! Chisea passes to Ramsey who flicks it back to Kulusevki, his placed shot on the edge of the box is parried by Buschan straight out to Morata who fires into the roof of the net from point-blank range. Juventus lead!

Back underway!
HALF-TIME! Goalless at the break. Not a classic so far. Juventus are edging it but plenty for Pirlo to ponder.
Tsygankov whips the free-kick in between the two-man wall but Szczesny gets his body behind it and claims.
YELLOW! The first of the evening and it goes to Bentancur after he hauls down Shaparenko on the edge of the box.
Yellow card
R. Bentancur
