90+1'
Is there one last chance left in this match for Zenit St Petersburg? They should have scored more than just one given the opportunities they have had. They will rue the misses.
90'
There will be four minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.

Dzyuba wants a spot kick! The big man goes down inside the penalty area. He is appealing to the referee, but nothing is given. Dzyuba had the strength to stay on his feet there.
87'
Zenit throwing everything they have got into this. Dortmund will have some defending to do.

Zenit have nothing to lose here and so they are going for it. They are already out of European competition for the season. They are only playing for their pride this evening.
82'
The finish from Witsel wasn't exactly clean. It was like he actually kicked the ground before kicking the ball and that fooled the goalkeeper somewhat. Kerzhakov didn't have a read on it.
81'
Things have fully swung around for Dortmund as Club Brugge have scored an equaliser against Lazio. If that holds, Dortmund will finish top of the group with only one point!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zenit St Petersburg 1 Borussia Dortmund 2 (79 mins - Axel Witsel). WITSEL! Dortmund have turned this around! Witsel took the shot early, he caught the goalkeeper by surprise and the ball is in the back of the net at the near post! Is that the goal that sends Dortmund through as group winners?

78'
Good chance! Reus drives down the right side and gets the cross into the middle, but Moukoko couldn't control it and the opportunity disappears for the Bundesliga side!
77'
And Zagadou also comes on for the final 15 minutes to shore up the Dortmund defence.

Indeed, Zenit are now enjoying a better period of play. A cross just went across the face of goal and there was nobody for the Russian side gambling to get on the end of it!
