That brings proceedings to a close here - sorry if you tuned in to see the English teams in livecom action, circumstances beyond our control and all that... At least you've seen the only goal by an Englishman in Europe tonight! Goodnight.

Real Madrid started like a house on fire - and deservedly took the lead through Owen's first goal in the white shirt. However, Kiev are a good side and were never out of the game. Rincorn and Kleber spurned good chances, and Casillas was in good form to deny several chances. Ronaldo and Solari nearly finished the match off, but it remained one nil right 'till the end. Not the greatest of performances, but a vital win for Real all the same.

The FINAL WHISTLE blows - 1-0 to Real Madrid thanks to Michael Owen's close range goal in the first half.

After a goul mouth scramble the ball is cleared!

Foul by Solari - it's now or never for the Ukranians. On the right hand side of the area...the keeper is forward...
- 93'
Kieve are exerting some late pressure, with a throw in deep in Real territory.
- 92'
Real pump the ball into the corner - not long now...

Zidane is putting in tackles all over the place - he has lead from the front this evening. Real are longing for that whistle!
- 90'
We're into added time - can Kiev salvage a late point and ruin Madrid's night?? They are pressing forward in numbers.
- 89'
Zidane's flick from a Guti set piece goes behind for a goal kick. Real are looking more comfortable but there are three minutes of stoppage time to be played...
- 88'
A pathetic, piddling drive by Roberto Carlos does n't trouble anyone.
- 88'
Free kick right on the edge of the area...
- 87'
After a driving run by Solari, Shovkovskiy saves very well.
- 87'
Ghioane, he of the bad left foot, has gone off for Kiev to be replaced by Peev. Helguera is hobbling meanwhile.
- 85'
Michael Owen must be getting excited on the bench - the headlines are his if the scoreline stays like this.
- 84'
Roberto Carlos drives one across the face of goal and it nearly lands at the feet of Raul. Carlos usually does better from that sort of range. 5 minutes left...
- 83'
Real are keeping the ball well, just what they need to do.
- 82'
Debatable offside against Morientes. He hasn't had a look in yet.
- 81'
The final ten minutes are upon us and it's Dynamo who look the more likely scorers. Don't write off Real though!
- 81'
Casillas fluffs a corner but the ball flies over the bar. Lucky, lucky Real. They are hanging on!
- 79'
Another change for Real Madrid. Ronaldo off for Morientes, the champions league specialist. The fresh legs will help Real.
- 77'
It's nail-biting stuff now for Real fans - the midfield have disappeared and Dynamo are attacking with ease. Real need to sort it out, and sharpish!
- 76'
What a save from Casillas, again - Kleber fires one in but the keeper is equal to it at point blank range. Corner to Dynamo.
- 75'
Belkevich on for Rincorn - will it make any difference as Kiev press for a point?
- 74'
Raul curls one over from 18 yards - he has been influential tonight without having supllied any decent final product.
