    • 90+3' There goes the final whistle! It ends CSKA Moscow 1-1 Real Madrid. Thanks for joining us this evening.
    • 90+2' GOAL! Wernbloom scores for the home side two minutes into time added on. Fine finish, and CSKA have rescued a draw. Brilliant volley.
    • 89' We are into three minutes of time added on.
    • 88' Pepe nods clear after Casillas opted to stay on his line. The big defender has enjoyed a fine night at the back for the visitors.
    • 87' The Russian club have never lost a European match against Spanish opposition, winning three and drawing two. That looks like changing here.
    • 86' Real just counting down the minutes now on the plastic pitch. Looks like the job is done.
    • 85' A couple of corners for the visitors. Chepchugov continues to impress as he collects the high ball.
    • 84' Real Madrid looking to shut up shop in these closing moments. Great break by Ronaldo, but Alexei Berezutsky is there to make the interception.
    • 83' Ozil departs the action to be replaced by Albiol.
    • 82' Another chance for Ronaldo! Ball breaks to him at the edge of the box, but he pulls the shot wide of the post.
    • 81' Casillas with the double fisted punch to clear the free-kick from Honda.
    • 80' Necid on for the home side with Tosic departing the action.
    • 79' Coentrao has been booked for a sliding tackle on Oliseh. Looked a fair challenge, but the referee feelt otherwise.
    • 78' Ronaldo seemed to be pulled back by Wernbloom. Strong, surging run by him. He is looking a menacing figure.
    • 77' Casillas collects a loose ball in the box. The Spain goalkeeper has not really been tested in this second period.
    • 76' More inspired play by Ronaldo on the run. Flicks the shot at goal, but Chepchugov spreads himself to make the stop.
    • 75' Sergio Ramos rises to power a head at goal from Ozil's delivery. Fine stop by Chepchugov.
    • 74' Callejon departs to be replaced by Kaka.
    • 73' Nice piece of play by Callejon as Real Madrid earn another corner.
    • 72' Sergio Ramos has been booked for complaining afte Doumbia caught Coentrao with a late tackle.
    • 71' Dzagoev goes for a spectacular finish with a volley. Fails to connect with the ball, and Real Madrid have a free-kick that Casillas lumps long down the pitch.
    • 70' Honda drills the dead ball at goal. Never had the pace to trouble Casillas who saves with little or no fuss.
    • 69' Alonso guilty of bringing down Dzagoev. No booking, but CSKA have a free-kick.
    • 68' Doumbia has been penalised for a foul on Arbeloa. The visitors inching towards this victory.
    • 67' Honda takes over from Aldonin. Can he provide the inspiration for the home side?
    • 66' Mourinho on the touchline. He is well wrapped up and looking very content with what he is watching here.
    • 65' Another man enters the book as Wernbloom is carded for hauling back Ozil.
    • 64' Oliseh replaces Musa for CSKA. Need to make something happen otherwise this is going to finish in an away win.
    • 63' Iker Casillas was the only goalkeeper with a 100% save percentage in this season’s Champions League Group Stage, keeping a clean sheet in all of his five appearances.
    • 62' A few of the Real Madrid substitutes warm up. Not really a night to be standing still. A bit different from Madrid.
    • 61' Ronaldo picks up the ball 30 yards out. Decides to go for goal, but that effort flies well over the bar.
    • 60' CSKA threaten moments later through Musa, but a shot from inside the box fails to trouble Casillas who makes an easy stop.
    • 59' A corner from Dzagoev but Aleksei Berezutsky is guilty of a push on Arbeloa.
    • 58' The home fans continue to try to back their side as CSKA win their first corner of the match.
    • 57' Real continue to set up camp in the CSKA half. Nice, patient play by Mourinho's men.
    • 56' Musa takes out Coentrao with a late challenge. Real opt to keep the ball rather than throw it into the box.
    • 55' Ronaldo lifts an effort over the bar after the Russian side are again found wanting in defence. That rearguard looking highly suspect.
    • 54' Chepchugov off his line to rattle the ball away from Higuain, who is making some fine runs forward.
    • 53' Real now with eight attempts at the home goal. Another one would surely kill off this tie before the second leg in Madrid.
    • 52' Chepchugov makes a fine stop to keep out the shot by Callejon. Real really starting to pile on the pressure.
    • 51' Golden chance for the second. Lovely ball by Ronaldo into the path of Callejon who slams a shot wide of the goal.
    • 50' 56% of CSKA Moscow’s Champions League goals this season have been scored by Seydou Doumbia (five out of nine).
    • 49' Pepe late on Doumbia. He is penalised for that challenge. Real on the break seconds later.
    • 48' Callejon robbed of the ball in the middle of the park. CSKA trying to weave their way through this Real defence.
    • 47' Alonso is the first man into the book for a late foul on Musa.
    • 46' And we are off and running in the second half.
    • 45+2' There goes the whistle for the break. A 1-0 lead for Real Madrid. Fine goal by Ronaldo. Probably just about merit their lead.

    • 43' Aldonin smashes a shot well over the bar from 25 yards out.
    • 42' Higuain caught just offside after some more fine play by Musa at the other end.
    • 41' CSKA look like they will be heading for the break one down. Casillas out to collect the ball ahead of Musa.
    • 40' Ronaldo caught by Wernbloom. A clash of heads there, but no lasting damage done to either player.
    • 39' Callejon with the cross. Decent delivery, but Sergio Ramos is deemed to be offside.
    • 38' Doumbia rises above Arbeloa, but can only head wide of the target.
    • 37' Jose Mourinho has lost just three of his last 31 matches as a coach in the Champions League, with all three defeats at the hands of Barcelona.
    • 36' Ronaldo thumps the shot straight at the wall. CSKA clear the ball long down the park.
    • 35' Ignashevic is penalised for a foul on Cristiano Ronaldo. A free-kick chance for the visitors right on the edge of the box.
    • 34' Casillas off his line to try to thwart Doumbia. CSKA still well in this match. Real hit on the break.
    • 33' Real with four attempts at goal already. Coentrao picks out Alonso before the moves breaks down at the halfway line.
    • 32' Dzagoev takes a dive in the box. Referee waves play on before Higuain is caught offside.
    • 31' Real hunting in packs to close down the space. Tosic tries to dash clear. Solid defending by the visitors.
    • 30' Pepe just whacks the ball long down the pitch. Real have what they came for here: the away goal. Can the home side find a way back..
    • 29' Ronaldo on the run again. Lovely dash into the box, but fails to connect with the ball. CSKA suddenly rocking at the back.
    • 28' A 36th goal for Ronaldo in 35 matches. 122 goals in 124 games for Real Madrid. An incredible record, and it is the Real fans who can be heard inside this vast arena.
    • 27' Tosic fails to head clear the cross from Coentrao and that is a wonderful finish. Real suddenly right in charge of this match.
    • 26' GOAL! Ronaldo with his 21st Champions League goal in 29 appearances. A thumping finish from inside the box after CSKA failed to clear.
    • 25' Ronaldo comes up with a delightful cross. Bounce in front of the home goalkeeper, but Chepchugov keeps his idea on it to collect. Fine stop.
    • 24' Musa dances down the line. Throws over a cross, but far too much energy on the ball as it flies out of play.
    • 23' Ronaldo with a lovely little cross to the back post. CSKA nod the ball away from the corner.
    • 22' Tosic halting Arbeloa from getting out. Real try to go on the break before Dzagoev handles at the the halfway line.
    • 21' Musa gets up to win the ball in the air, but can only nod it in the direction of Coentrao. Again Real on the ball, but sitting deep.
    • 20' Real with the ball deep in their half. The visitors seems happy to play a containing job. All very methodical.
    • 19' After winning none of their first seven European games away in Russia, Real Madrid have won the last two matches there. A draw would not be a bad result tonight.
    • 18' Seemed to catch the striker with an elbow in the air. Referee not ready to book anybody at the moment.
    • 17' Wernbloom fouls Higuaín. Strong challenge. Real bench unhappy with that challenge.
    • 16' Chepchugov pulls off two brilliant saves. Keeps out the shot from Higuain before getting back to his feet to claw out the rebound from Khedira. What a stop.
    • 15' Sergio Ramos just hooks the ball out of play. Again Real try to get their passing game going, but CSKA have bodies back here.
    • 14' Benzema departs to be replaced by Gonzalo Higuain. Not a bad replacement.
    • 14' Benzema with 10 goals in his last 11 appearances, but seems to have run his race for the night. He has a groin injury.
    • 13' Benzema rattles a shot wide from distance. Real yet to trouble the home goal in this match. Benzema is needing a spot of treatment.
    • 12' Real Madrid’s José Callejón has scored a brace in each of his two Champions League starts; the former Espanyol player has converted 83% of his shots this term in Europe.
    • 11' Musa with a fine challenge on Coentrao. They are trying to unsettle the visitors, who are not being allowed to develop their passing game.
    • 10' Ramos with the long ball up the park, but Callejon is caught just offside.
    • 9' Alonso having to dart back to make a tackle on Dzagoev. A real energy about Moscow as they come out of hibernation to play for the first time in two months.
    • 8' Pepe comes in with a superb tackle to deprive Musa of the ball. Doumbia and Musa really causing problems for the Real Madrid defence.
    • 7' Schennikov picks out Dzagoev with a lovely cross, but he can only hook the volley wide of the target. Real chance there.
    • 6' An incredible amout of noise. Fábio Coentrão is penalised for a foul on Musa.
    • 5' Lovely bit of skill by Coentrao, but the cross is disappointing as the ball flies out of play.
    • 4' Ronaldo taken out late by Wernbloom. Mourinho making a few notes on the bench.
    • 3' Chepchugov on the ball for CSKA. Early touch for the goalkeeper. Real taking their time. In no hurry to go anywhere as Tosic fouls Arbeloa.
    • 2' Sergio Ramos gives the ball away cheaply. Tosic on the dash, but can't get clear. Ozil then on the ground needing treatment.
    • 1' We are off and running in this one. 70,000 fans watching the action.
    • 16.55 Teams on their way out. A freezing night. -15. Can CSKA unsettle this Madrid side on the artificial surface? Let us find out.
    • 16.50 Odds for this evening: CSKA 15/2, Madrid 2/5, Draw 7/2. As expected, Real are warm favourites in a freezing Moscow to grab victory.
    • 16.45 Real Madrid have qualified to the Champions League knockout stage for the 15th consecutive season, currently the longest run. CSKA have lost three of their last four European matches on home soil. The Russian club have never lost a European match against Spanish opposition, winning three and drawing two.
    • 16.35 CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky is concerned about being without injured goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev. He said: "Igor (Akinfeev) has been the main part of our team for many years, he's almost indispensable, but we'll have to find a way to overcome his absence. "
    • 16.30 Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is relishing the chance to reach the last eight. He said: "Now we turn to the Champions League and we must focus on the match against CSKA. Everyone is pleased (with the 4-0 win over Racing), we have two days to recover, and we are a happy group. We have a long journey but happiness helps make miracles. We are very motivated even though we know it will be difficult in Moscow."
    • 16.25 CSKA hand debuts to new signings Pontus Wernbloom and Ahmed Musa. Seydou Doumbia starts as a lone striker with Alan Dzagoev supporting from midfield. Karim Benzema starts in attack for Real with Gonzalo Higuain on the bench.
    • 16.20 Teams in full: Real Madrid: Casillas, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrão, Arbeloa, Khedira, Özil, Alonso, Ronaldo, Kaká, Benzema..subs: Adán, Carvalho, Marcelo, Varane, Granero, Callejón, Higuaín////CSKA: Chepchugov, Ignashevich, Aleksei Berezutski, Vasili Berezutski, Schennikov, Wernbloom, Dzagoev, Musa, Tošić, Aldonin, Doumbia..subs: Revyakin, Šemberas, Honda, Rahimić, Oliseh, Kim In-Sung, Necid
    • 16.17 CSKA will also miss defender Kirill Nababkin and midfielder Pavel Mamayev through suspension for the first leg.
    • 16.15 CSKA have not played for over two months due to the Russian winter recess. They have problems ahead of the clash, not least the continued absence of Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev (knee). Vladimir Gubolov had deputised well enough but he joined Anzhi in the winter break, leaving Sergei Chepchugov - who has mostly played in the second division - and 16-year-old rookie Sergei Revyakin as the only professional goalkeepers at the club.
    • 16.10 As expected, Real Madrid do not risk winger Angel Di Maria, who returned from injury with a goal against Racing Santander on Saturday but bruised a muscle in the process. Lassana Diarra is out with a back complaint, while Hamit Altintop has a torn calf muscle.
    • 16.05 Real Madrid side for tonight: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Coentrao; X. Alonso, Khedira, Özil, Ronaldo, Benzema, Kaka
