90+3'
There goes the final whistle! A 0-0 draw for the Premier League side in Moscow. A fine result for Alan Pardew's team in this first leg.
90+1'
Into three minutes of time added on here in Newcastle.
89'
Taylor turns in the home area, but deemed to be fouling as he flashes a shot miles over the bar.
88'
Eto'o fouls Perch and Elliot can hammer this long into the Anzhi area.
87'
Traore penalised for a late push in the visiting box on Yanga-Mbiwa. That will relieve all the pressure on Newcastle.
86'
Logashov takes over from Eschehnko for the home side.
85'
Andrei Yeschenko needing a spot of treatment here. And on we go. Touch of cramp.
84'
Eto'o gets a shot at goal, but decent enough defending by Taylor to hold him up. Shot is gathered up by Elliot.
83'
Carcela-González takes over from Shatov for Anji.
82'
Tioté replaces Cabaye for Newcastle. Almost over the line for a 0-0 draw.
81'
Zhirkov tries to go beyond Simpson, but the home defender does well to make sure he can't cause any damage.
80'
Russia national coach Fabio Capello can be found in the stands watching this match. Plenty of interest in this one for him.
79'
Ameobi penalised for a handball after racing onto the Sissoko pass. Newcastle showing a bit more adventure here.
78'
Newcastle once again content to use the wide open spaces of this pitch to keep the ball. Pardew demanding his side keep the ball here.
77'
Yeschenko comes up with a timely block on the shot by Marveaux. Did just enough to prevent that effort from travelling goalwards.
76'
Eto'o smashes the ball at goal from distance, but power carries it well away from goal after Cabaye had foulded Traore.
75'
Traore takes a bit of a dive under pressure 25 yards out, but he wins the free-kick for his side.
74'
Taylor takes over from Anita for the visting side for these final 15 minutes or so.
73'
Shatov takes up a menacing position in the box, but ends up striking the ball straight at Obertan, who has been a handy support figure for Newcastle in defence this evening.
72'
Newcastle into the final 20 minutes. This would be a great result for them to take back to Newcastle for the second leg, but work to be done yet.
