    Time:90'
    • Aberdeen
    • Dniepropetrovsk
    • 90+3 Considine gives the ball away in injury time - and Nazarenko breaks before playing it across to Kornilenko who had just come on but he produces a poor shot.
    • 90 Into stoppage time now - Chris Clark makes way for Lee Mair - while Michael Hart has gone into the book for a bad tackle.
    • 88' Lovell with a bicycle kick inside the box it is on target too but it is headed away before it gets to Kernozenko.
    • 86' The match just fizzling out now - Aberdeen have put a lot into this and they are starting to tire now.
    • 82' Lyopa cuts inside and gets a powerful shot in but it is also well wide - and Aberdeen survive.
    • 80' The pace of the game has slowed down now - and you get the impression that Dnipro would be very happy to get out of here with a 0-0 draw.
    • 76' Langfield needs to make a very good save as a deflected effort from Kankava calls him into action. Great play from Nazarenko again to set it up.
    • 72' McNamara off - Foster on for Aberdeen
    • 71' Clark nicks the ball off the Dnipro defence and looks to be clear through on goal - he puts in a low shot but a Dnipro defender just gets a touch on it and it goes wide.
    • 70' First Aberdeen change Derek Young comes off and Steve Lovell comes on.
    • 69' Aberdeen's defense get back well after Lyopa nearly got away on a counter attack.
    • 66' Samodin off and Kankava on for Dnipro.
    • 64' Considine takes the ball down in the box lays it back to Young but he is challenged just as he looked to shoot - but all Aberdeen now.
    • 60' Kravchenko is booked while on the deck injured and he is then subbed - 18 year-old Lyopa comes on.
    • 55' Aberdeen getting lots of balls into the box now - crosses and long throws and Dnipro are not always dealing with them.
    • 52' Little turn and shot from Jamie Smith with his back to goal in the box - Kernozenko needs to get down quick to push away.
    • 49' OFF THE POST FROM ABERDEEN - Clark cuts in from the left and from just on the edge of the box he curls a shot towards to bottom right corner - Kernozenko just gets a touch on it to put it onto the post. Great save.
    • 47' Shershun slices a clearance and Miller jumps with the keeper for the ball - it goes out for a corner but Aberdeen can't do anything with it.
    • 46' Great drive from Kravchenko from 30 yards - without any backlift he just fires a bullet of a shot that Langfield has to tap over.
    • 46' No changes from either side at half-time and we are now back underway.
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle - good stuff by Aberdeen they are competing well against a more technically gifted team and will now look to push on and take a lead into the second leg.
    • 45' The ball drop to Kravchenko on the edge of the Aberdeen box after a corner but he produces a poor, poor shot that goes wide.
    • 42' Aberdeen doing the pressing in the final moments of this half but still neither goalkeeper has had too much work to do so far.
    • 37' Again Nazarenko shows good feet and cuts in from the left he again tries a quick shot but once more it is high and wide - he is getting closer however.
    • 36' Severin spots a great run from midfield by Barry Nicholson - he then takes the ball down so well but he just couldn't get any power on his shot.
    • 33' Nazarenko curls an effort just over the bar after the ball was worked to him just outside the box - the playmaker is getting more and more into the game now.
    • 30' Chance goes abegging for Aberdeen as a quick free kick send Clark free on the left he checks it back for Jamie Smith but the striker is soon crowded out.
    • 26' Considine is having a great game for the Dons he does very well to race and clear the ball just as Samodin was about to shoot.
    • 23' Diamond gets his head on a corner for Aberdeen but that goes wide.
    • 20' Bad tackle from Nazarenko on Severin - he rightly gets a yellow for that.
    • 16' Tough match out there the tackles are starting to fly in now.
    • 12' Young strike Samodin gets the ball on the left for Dnipro and cuts in side - he gets in a shot but drags it wide of the target.
    • 10' A few little warning signs for Aberdeen - Dinpro look quite dangerous on the break but Langfield still hasn't had a save to make.
    • 7' Good tempo from Aberdeen now - the crowd are really into too - they are starting to pile on the pressure.
    • 4' Aberdeen come close to opening the scoring - Diamond and SMith both won headers after a free was floated into the box and Considine had a chance from just six yards out decent effort but Kernozenko make a superb save.
