    Time:90'
    • BATE Borisov
    • Real Madrid
    • 90'+5 And it's finally all over in Minsk. Real have won by the odd goal and are through. The Belarussians' challenge is over.
    • 90'+4 And still we play on. BATE are trying to work an opening but Real won't give them time on the ball.
    • 90'+3 BATE boss Goncharenko looks resigned to his fate as Casillas delays a goal kick.
    • 90'+2 Another floated free kick for BATE but Drenthe races clear with the ball.
    • 90' It's a corner for BATE. This could be the last chance, but Real bang it clear.
    • 89' There's still time for Khagush to get booked for a late tackle on Drenthe while Saviola makes way.
    • 87' We're into the last few minutes of normal time and Real are about to make a third substitution to run the clock down.
    • 86' Drenthe has been largely anonymous for much of the second half and his tired shot fails to trouble the BATE stopper.
    • 85' Javi Garcia comes on for Real and goal hero Raul makes his way slowly off the pitch.
    • 83' Van der Vaart tries his luck from distance but it's simple for Veremko.
    • 82' Another free kick for BATE in a less dangerous position but Real are giving away too many fouls.
    • 79' The bandaged Guti is off for Real and Van der Vaart comes on for the last ten minutes or so.
    • 78' After complaints by the Real defence, the kick is wasted by Skayvish as it strikes the Real wall.
    • 76' Free kick for BATE about 25 yards out and central. Could this be the moment?
    • 74' Casillas almost fumbles the ball as Vitali Rodionov storms in.
    • 74' There's an urgency about BATE's play now as they look for the elusive equaliser.
    • 72' At the other end, Raul goes for a left-foot strike and Veremko just manages to tip the ball on to the bar and out to safety.
    • 71' A clever back heel sets up Gennadi Bliznyuki only for the BATE man to drag the ball wide.
    • 70' And here we go. Maksim Skayvish is on for skipper Dmitri Likhtarovich.
    • 68' BATE boss Goncharenko is preparing a third substitution as the clock starts to run down for the Belarussians.
    • 67' Vitali Rodionov races on to a through ball only for Heinze to beat the BATE man with a fine tackle.
    • 66' Another poor BATE free kick fails to beat the first defender.
    • 65' Another BATE substitution. Mikhail Sivakov is on for Aleksandr Volodko.
    • 63' It's Khagush v Drenthe yet again and this time the BATE man gets an accidental blow in the face for his trouble.
    • 62' BATE have had their best spell of the game and are beginning to push Real back.
    • 58' Torres retrives the ball from the snow-covered perimeter and his white shirt is momentarily lost in the surroundings.
    • 57' A long ball almost puts Kryvets in only for the BATE man to be flagged offside.
    • 57' The fouls are mounting up. 15 to BATE and 10 to Real.
    • 55' Guti, with his head bandaged, runs on to take a Real free kick which is deflected for a corner.
    • 52' BATE are seeing more of the ball in these early stages. The bizarrely numbered 55, Aleksandr Yurevich, tries to thread the ball through the Real midfield but the pass is cut out.
    • 50' Practically everything is going through Drenthe, but there's no way through a solid BATE tackle this time.
    • 47' Drenthe carries on where he left off in the first period and Sergei Sosnovski makes an unsure interception.
    • 46' Stasevich is off for BATE and Pavel Nekhaychik replaces him.
    • 46' Real keep the home side waiting in the Belarussian cold for a few minutes, but we're underway for the second half.
    • 45+3 It's half time in Minsk. Real lead 1-0 thanks to that man Raul.
    • 45+1 Stasevich with the corner, there's a scramble at the near post and Real are awarded the goal kick, much to the home fans' disgust.
    • 45' There's two extra minutes to be added as BATE have a corner.
    • 44' BATE are gamely plugging away without really troubling the Real backline.
    • 43' Miguel Torres becomes the first Real man in the book for upending Stasevitch.
    • 42' BATE win a free kick midway in the Real half but the delivery is poor and Real deal with the high ball with ease.
    • 41' Veremko's long kick sails into the Real half but Pepe is on hand to clear the danger.
    • 39' It's getting tasty between Drenthe and Khagush. This time the BATE man comes out on top.
    • 37' Drenthe finds himself free and closing in on the BATE goal, but Kazantsev arrives just in time with a great tackle as Drenthe prepares to pull the trigger.
    • 35' The free kick is taken but it's too high for the leaping Pepe and Sergio Ramos.
    • 35' It's Drenthe v Khagush - the rematch. This time the BATE defender brings down the Real man, giving away a free kick in a dangerous position.
    • 34' A long ball meant for Drenthe runs straight through to the BATE keeper, much to the Real man's annoyance.
    • 32' No way through for Drenthe this time as Khagush flies in with a solid tackle.
    • 30' Drenthe is giving the BATE defence nightmares and defender Vitali Kazantsev is relieved to find his scuffed cross bounce off his feet.

    • 14' Great work from Pepe finds Raul unmarked at the far post but he fails to make proper contact and Sergei Veremko palms his volley round the post.
    • 12' BATE finally get a sight of the Real goal only for Igor Stasevich to fire wide of Casillas' left hand post from 20 yards.
    • 10' Another sweeping Real right hand move almost sees Heinze conjour up an opening, but the ball goes out for a goal kick.
