o 90+2 Final whistle! A draw is a fair result, Arsenal come back late to snatch a point. Great entertainment in Kiev!
o 90' Dynamo bring on Kravets to waste some time, they're hanging on now.
o 89' Arsenal are pushing for a winner now, with Adebayor and Vela almost combining...
o 88' Arsenal are throwing caution to the wind here, Gallas has gone up front now, the ball is with Adebayor on the edge of the box, he holds it up for Walcott on the overlap and his cross IS MET BY GALLAS WHO SMASHES IT IN FOR 1-1! Arsenal level, late, late in the day.
o 87' Arsenal are piling it on now which means they have left gaps at the back and there's a huge one here as Bangoura breaks forward but his final ball to the unmarked Eremenko is shocking!
o 85' Dynamo have their backs against the wall as Bendtner is give a chance to shoot but Adebayor was offside off the original ball.
o 84' The corner is sent to Bendtner far post but he heads straight at the keeper! Vela on for Arsenal.
o 83' Havoc after that free-kick sees Denilsin drive it in but a deflection takes it wide for a corner.
o 82' Walcott hares down the right and Vukojevic slides in late and gets a yellow. He's having a go at Walcott too, although jebus knows what for...
o 81' Adebayor has found some space on the right, he hits the byline and swings a cross over for Bendtner but Diakhate cool as a cucumber nods it back to the keeper.
o 78' Eboue on for Sagna, more of a midfielder which means Arsenal are now 3-4-3.
o 75' Arsenal are having a 'mare, Kiev have men over again and Ninkinovic is in the box, he goes down but no penalty and it breaks to Bangoura who hammers a shot in but just wide!
o 74' Arsenal are all over the place now as Eremenko almost gets clean through, but Gallas slides back to save the day.
o 73' Eremenko on the right now, he spots Bangoura on the edge of the box and he finds him but he shoots over!
o 71' Great attacking move by Dynamo, one-touch passing on the edge of the box and then Bangoura takes a silly dive over Toure's leg and he is rightly booked. He could have made that too!
o 70' Bendtner does come on, for Song. 4-3-3 then.
o 69' Dynamo counter from that, the game is really stretched now, but Vujekevic takes a tumble, no foul, Arsenal come again but that breaks down and then the ref blows for something. Frantic stuff now.
o 68' Corner to Arsenal swung in from the right, Bogush is flapping under pressure from Adebayor and out for another corner.
o 66' Vukejevic hobbles off after taking a knock. Arsenal's forwards have been poor today, Wenger needs to make a chance - Vela and Bendtner are available on the bench.
o 65' Arsenal break from the kick-off but Van Persie wastes it on the left.
o 64' Sagna was booked in the aftermath of that incident.
o 63' The dust settles after that and Bangoura to take... and he calmly rolls it into the bottom right for 1-0! Almunia went the other way and Arsenal are rueing some missed chances and that iffy penalty decision.
o 62' Gallas with an error to mis-judge a bouncing ball and Yussuf is in but he has to stand it up on the right to wait for support, he sends a cross in and Bangoura goes down under pressure from Sagna and it's a penalty! Disaster for Arsenal and the replay shows that was NOT a penalty, Bangoura pulled Sagna and went down! Oh dear.
o 59' Bangoura sprints into the Arsenal box but Toure slides back to intervene! Dynamo have woken up this second half.
o 58' A long shot by Fabregas is saved and Dynamo counter, they have men over and it's a typical Kiev counter but the shot is poor.
o 57' Nesmachniy gets the first caution of the match for a late sliding tackle on Walcott.
o 56' Kiev attack now, Yussuf with an excellent through-ball for Bangoura but he snatches at the shot, well wide.
o 54' Fabregas goes wide left to Van Persie who crosses for ADEBAYOR but Bogush flies out to punch clear!
o 52' A loose ball by Vukojevic goes to Walcott, he sprints forward, good run by Walcott who looks wide to Van Persie but with Adebayor free in the box he foolishly shoots over from the angle!
o 51' Toure on the ball, he surges to the halfway line, Sagna cuts in from the right and Toure keeps going, he plays it over to Adebayor who heads towards goal but well over!
o 49' Arsenal have a man down, Bangoura has it and Arsenal are all over the place and Bangoura slips it wide to Eremenko who takes a touch and drills it low and it beats Almunia at the near post and rebounds off the woodwork! Almunua dives onto it before Bangoura can reach the ball, a lucky escape for Arsenal!
o 48' Song gets it off Adebayor, he looks wide to Sagna who slides it through to Van Persie, who's in, but he's also offside!
o 46' Second half underway!
