    • - LIVE NOW Metalist v Everton - plus Bolton and Blackburn's matches from 20:00 BST!
    • 90+4' For the final whistle sounds and the Scottish club are through. Dnipro gave their all and almost did it - but no cigar. Aberdeen will contest the group stage of the UEFA Cup.
    • 90+4' Langfield again with the save! What a hand to - send Abderdeen through!!!
    • 90' Four minutes of injury time to chill Aderdeen hearts!
    • 86' Another outstanding save from Langfield as he tips Kravchenko's strike onto the bar! That would have been a real show-stopper.
    • 82' Balls are sent into the away side's penalty area, kept at bay up to now... Aberdeen have invited this pressure, but defended valiantly so far. The goal was a bit lucky.
    • 77' Dnipro hit the bar now as they head onto the attack! This one will go to the wire. Calderwood having kittens on the touchline.
    • 75' Considine swung to clear but the ball came off the boot of Vorobey and into the net. They run the ball to the halfway line. No extra time or penalties tonight...
    • 74' THE EQUALISER GOES IN FOR DNIPRO! They need one more now to go through...
    • 71' Dons sub: Mackie out with Lovell replacing him.
    • 67' Another chance goes begging as the ball drops to big centre-half Shelaev and he thumps the ball way over the top from about eight yards.
    • 66' Kravchenko strikes a superb volley that Langfield tips over the bar! Great effort!
    • 60' Aberdeen still sitting back. Corner to Dnipro... Rusol meets it and his header hits the bar and goes over!
    • 56' Vorobey tries to shoot with the outside of his foot. The ball flies off, nowhere near the goal.
    • 54' Vorobey felled by Considine and a yellow card is shown to the Aberdeen man.
    • 51' The kick is wasted by danger man Nazarenko as his pass is cleared easily. The home fans groan. Justice done - it was never a free-kick.
    • 50' Diamond back in his won box to shepherd the ball to his 'keeper. He gets an inadvertent touch and when Langfield falls on it the ref gives an indirect free-kick for a back-pass!
    • 49' Dnipro pressing already in this half. Nazarenko heads for goal but it muscled out by right-back Hart. He stops and complains about the challenge, but will get nothing for it.
    • 46' The second half is underway, a big 45 minutes ahead for both clubs.
    • - Abderdeen change: Mair on for the hurt Smith.
    • 45+2' The whistle sounds for half time in Ukraine after Dnipro charge down an Aberdeen free-kick.
    • 45' Smith is hobbling with an injury as the fourth official flashes up two minutes of added time.
    • 42' The Dons have a line of nine players across the area as half time looms. Balls are peppered in, all dealt with as the fans get excited.
    • 39' Dnipro want a penalty for a challenge in the box, but the tackle was clean and the refeeree waves away their protestations.
    • 36' Langfield has been strong when needed and Aberdeen have defended well. Some dude in a wheelchair in the crowd executes wheelies, so happy is he at the prospect of qualification.
    • 32' Nazarenko's free-kick is gathered up by Langfield. He looks up and boots the ball long for Smith to chase - he is through on goal! Although free of the defence, goalie Kernozenko is just out to get there first and volley away. Close call for Dnipro there...
    • 29' Nazarenko allowed Foster space close to the by-line and he volleyed across goal - Mackie thundered a header home from a few yards out. The travelling fans go nuts on the far side of the ground.
    • 28' GOAL FOR THE DONS!!! Mackie has it!
    • 24' McNamara was ruled out of this match with a hamstring injury. Lovell is fit but on the bench while Smith (J) is both fit and playing. So far we have not seen a lot from Aberdeen however...
    • 20' Good fotball from the home side, teasing Abderdeen out of position. The Scottish outfit are having none of it.
    • 16' Foster gives the ball away to Dnipro and Nazarenko has the ball in an advanced position. He holds off a challenge to cross, but it runs past the man at the far post.
    • 15' With the first leg ending goalless, this one could go to extra time and penalties - if this leg also ends 0-0. The group stages are next up and would be a nice little earner for either club...
    • 12' There is a cracking atmosphere in this little stadium with the home fans chanting and roaring their team on. It could go either way at present.
    • 8' Smith sent through on the right... he shoots from just inside the corner of the box but it is blocked by a last-minute tackle.
    • 4' A good move by the Ukraine club ends with a low ball across the box, where Liopa shoots... great save by Langfield down in the corner!
    • 2' Dnipro with the early possession. Samodin shoots and the ball is deflected behind for a corner... it is wasted though.
    • 1' The first half begins with the home team in all white kicking from left to right and Aberdeen in red.
