    Time:90'
    • CSKA Moscow
    • Fenerbahce
    • - LIVE NOW - text commentary on all tonight's Champions League matches! What are you waiting for?
    • - The teams share the points then, perhaps a fair result all in all. They both had periods of domination. Fenerbahce now have four points in Group G while CSKA have one.
    • 90+2' The final whistle sounds in Moscow.
    • 90' CSKA change: Aldonin for Dudu.
    • 86' The effort was drilled from 30 yards out and Mandrykin could not provide the firm hands needed to block as he went to ground. He will consider that an error.
    • 85' Deivid tries his luck from distance AND THE BALL IS IN THE NET! FENERBAHCE HAVE THE EQUALISER!
    • 81' Fenerbahce have three players over a dangerous free-kick. Carlos and Alex are favourites... it is the captain. The ball is destiend for the top corner... Mandrykin saves, pushing the ball away!
    • 78' Zhirkov booked for a late tackle on Kazim-Richards.
    • 77' Final Fener sub: Gonul for Lugano.
    • 75' Fener are well on top at present. Whether they can find another cutting edge now to grab a point we will see... Kazim-Richards takes the ball on and slams a shot JUST OVER THE TOP! That would have been some introduction.
    • 72' Fenerbahce make two changes: Kazim-Richards - who turned down Barnsley to sign for Sheffield United last season - comes on in the Champions League, with Baris making way. Yasin also makes an appearance for the unfortunate Edu.
    • 69' Zhirkov volleys from 25 yards and the ball dips just over the crossbar and on top of the goal! For a moment Fener were worried there.
    • 66' Krasic becomes the latest player to enter the referee's notebook.
    • 66' Jo's left foot will strike a free-kick for CSKA from 25 yards... much like Carlos' effort in the first half, it is low and into the wall. Disappointing.
    • 65' Fenerbahce full-back Lugano is shown a yellow card.
    • 63' The territorial possession is now all with Fener. CSKA are nervous, it seems, after scoring those goals.
    • 60' Now Fener are providing the pressure, forcing CSKA to defend. They have also had chances and are capable of finding their way back into this match.
    • 57' Love with the ball at his feet, he roars forward and slams a thunderous shot at goal from well over 30 yards, forcing Demirel to block.
    • 55' The crowd are alive now with flares going off and all sorts in the freezing night. They have done their bit this evening and deserve those goals. Incidentally Edu was booked for the tackle that led to the penalty.
    • 53' Love steps up... HE SCORES INTO THE BOTTOM CORNER!!! Demirel moved early to his left and Love stroked the ball into the opposite corner.
    • 52' PENALTY TO CSKA!!! The ball broke to Love and Edu again made the mistake, clumsily bringing the Brazil man down.
    • 50' Berezutski (V) curled a ball down the right and Edu tried to play the ball back to his goalie - but he didn't connect very well with the ball and Krasic nipped in to shoot. Demirel saved but Krasic followed up to take the ball on and then slip it into the goal.
    • 49' KRASIC FOR CSKA... HE BAGS THE EQUALISER!!!
    • 48' Love to Jo again and the left-footed attacker does well to win a corner. Krasic's ball in is caught by 'keeper Demirel.
    • 46' The match restarts. CSKA now kicking from right to left as we look at it.
    • - There are no changes as the players re-emerge for the second half.
    • 45' There are only seven seconds of injury time added on at the end of the first 45 minutes. Fenerbahce are leading 1-0 in Moscow while CSKA could have scored a few.
    • 44' Fener with the ball as the clock ticks towards half time. The crowd are still singing though...
    • 41' Fenerbahce were the shock team of the opening round, along with Rosenborg for their draw at Chelsea. They are showing here that they are no flash in the pan however - and not limited to gathering points at home...
    • 38' Zhirkov puts in a good one this time, once more defended by Fenerbahce. This has been a cracking first half.
    • 37' CSKA again pressing. Jo wins a corner kick. Zhirkov cannot beat the near post - that is a pet hate of mine: why can't a professional footballer clear the first defender? I can do it every time!
    • 34' Dudu feeds a pass into the path of Krasic who goes to ground as the ball runs to Jo... his shot hits the side netting! There were people in the stadium who thought that had gone in. So close for CSKA.
    • 33' Kezman racing through on the left, trying to cut inside to shoot but Ignashevich stands tall to intercept and move away with the ball. Great defending.
    • 30' Love once again probing at the Fener back-line. He's into the box and rides a tackle before Lugano dives to block his shot at the last moment! That could have been the equaliser...
    • 29' Zhirkov has a dig from a difficult angle on the left and cannot direct the shot on target. The fans gasp theatrically nonetheless - it looked good.
    • 28' Kezman wins a free-kick for Fener. Alex puts in a wicked cross and Lugano is there to head - but Dudu is up too and gets enough head on it to keep the danger at bay.
    • 26' It has been a fast-paced opening period here in Moscow. Both teams are committed and must be enjoying the noisy atmosphere inside this ground.
    • 23' Fenerbahce with a free-kick of their own just to the right of centre, a few yards outside the penalty area. This is Carlos territory.... it is teed up and he slams it into the wall. Pity the poor fools who must face down one of his set-pieces...
    • 20' Carlos gives away a foul near the corner flag. Krasic is quick down the right-hand side although the ex-Real Madrid man seemed to get the ball. The Serbian player puts the ball in but Fener are not threatened by it.
    • 18' Love on the prowl again, difficult to tackle on the left. The ball is now with Jo, who is challenged and the ball runs to Love again... he finds space just inside the box and shoots - wide of the near post! Good chance.
    • 16' Vederson on the counter for the Turkish outfit... his cross is dangerous but Ignashevich gets a head on it to clear the danger.
    • 14' CSKA threatening now, with Fener content to defend their lead. Love and Jo in particular are keen to make something happen up front.
    • 12' The home fans, packed into this Lokomotiv Stadium, are stunned by that opener for the away side. Fenerbahce won their first game too, 1-0 at home to Internazionale...
    • 10' Calamitous! Aurelio made inroads into the CSKA defence before being tackled. The ball was running safely to home goalie Mandrykin but Berezutski (A) for some reason tried to clear and kicked it straight onto the head of Alex, who nodded home from 12 yards!
    • 9' ALEX SCORES FOR FENERBAHCE!!!!
    • 7' Krasic down the right for CSKA, his mazy run confusing Robbie Carlos... the ball to the far post is good but a Fener defender heads it behind for a corner!
    • 4' Love with a run to the edge of the Fener penalty area, but he cannot find a way through the defensive wall. The Brazil international striker will be a threat this evening.
    • 3' A clever move by the visitors as Alex and Edu dummy and pass, leaving Deivid with a chance... he fluffs it well wide. Promising start for Zico's side.
    • 2' CSKA begin as they mean to go on, forcing the ball upfield and keeping Fener camped in their own half. Legendary left-back Roberto Carlos in the Turkish side's ranks of course.
    • 1' The first half is underway, home team CSKA kicking from left to right in red and black. Fenerbahce in white and yellow.
    • - The players are out on the pitch and ready to begin! Kick off approaches...
