Rudiger rescues a late point for Madrid.

Madrid clear the corner!

Play has continued and Shakhtar have a corner.

Rudiger goal

It came late, very late. Madrid equalised in the 95th minute. You can never ever write them off in this competition. 

It's a nasty clash and also a very dangerous one. We wish both players well as they recover. Rudiger is up and walking about but Trubin is still down.

Trubin is down receiving treatment after the clash of heads.

Rudiger is walking off with a lot of blood on his face and his shirt.

Kroos sends in a wonderful ball and Rudiger gets up to head home. There is a nasty clash of heads between Rudiger and Trubin which has delayed Madrid's celebrations.

Trubin catches Vinicius' cross from the left.

RUDIGER!

The German defender's header flies just wide!

So close...

Bondar heads Alaba's left wing cross away!

Can Shakhtar hold on to their narrow 1-0 lead?

There will be five minutes added on in Warsaw!

VINICIUS!

It's a wonderful chance but the Brazilian heads over Vázquez's cross.

Shakhtar lead 1-0!

Mudryk goes off

OFF Mykhailo Mudryk

ON Ivan Petryak

Zubkov comes off. He has been excellent tonight and could be the match winner unless Madrid can snatch a late goal. It is the Champions League and it is Real Madrid so you can never rule it out.

Shakhtar changes

OFF Georgiy Sudakov
ON Neven Djurasek

OFF Oleksandr Zubkov
ON Lucas Taylor

Leipzig have taken the lead against Celtic in Glasgow!

Shakhtar change

OFF Lassina Traore

ON Danylo Sikan

Vinicius comes in from the left to curl a right-footed cross to the back post. Asensio can't reach it as he goes sliding in. 

KROOS!

The German creator smashes it from 25 yards but it flies wide. Madrid have less than 20 minutes of normal time to find an equaliser in Warsaw. 

 Mudryk goes on a mazy run before dragging his shot low and wide. 

In tonight's other Group F game, Celtic are drawing 0-0 with RB Leipzig.

Triple change for Madrid

Alaba, Camavinga and Asensio all come on for Madrid as they chase an equaliser.

It's Zubkov again!

His left-footed strike is saved by Lunin.

Ancelotti is about to make three changes. It looks like Alaba, Camavinga and Asensio are coming on.

It should be 2-0!

Lunin spills it and it falls to Traore. He chips it onto the bar. 

TRAORE hits the bar!

Vázquez sends in a brilliant cross from the right. Shakhtar defend it very well. It remains 1-0 in Warsaw. 

Will Vini be dancing tonight?

Shakhtar will not have been pleased to see the Brazilian come off the bench.

Madrid have beaten Shakhtar in their last three outings. Is it all about to change?

Ancelotti is going for it

The Italian coach sends on Modric and Vinicius. He wants to wrap the group up tonight!

Tchouameni is in acres of space 35 yards from goal. He looks up but sends his cross straight into the hands of Trubin between the sticks. 

Not part of Madrid's plan

All the talk pre-match was about Madrid advancing from the group. They now find themselves behind. 

Madrid's corner from the left falls to Benzema at the back post. The No 9 spins, but then blasts over in the box. 

Modric and Vinicius are warming up for Madrid. 

Shakhtar take the lead!

They had grown into the game in the second part of the first half. They now have the lead in this Group F clash.

It's a brilliant header at the back post and Zubkov opens the scoring for Shakhtar. Madrid have been caught off guard at the beginning of the second half. 

Shakhtar get us underway for the second 45'

Trubin keeps Madrid out

Trubin has denied Madrid on a couple of occasions but Shakhtar have grown into the game. 

HT: Shakhtar Donetsk 0-0 Real Madrid

It's all square at the break in Warsaw!

There will be one minute added on.

Mudryk does well down the left but wastes the opportunity by giving it back to Madrid. They think very highly of Mudryk. He's still only 21.

Benzema heads the resulting corner wide.

How good is Fede Valverde though? He has it all.

Valverde hits it superbly from distance. Trubin manages to tip the powerful effort over.

Madrid side

Ancelotti has made changes with one eye on El Clásico.

Benzema has turned it on. Maybe tonight is the night for his first goal since the end of August. 

Trubin denies Benzema again, this time from a very tight angle. 

Benzema then plays Rodrygo in. Trubin stops it from the same angle. 

Shakhtar are growing more and more into the game. A corner from the right is cleared by Rudiger and Rodrygo. Madrid have had to deal with some more pressure from the Ukrainian outfit but it remains 0-0.

Another fine piece of defending by Nacho. This time he reads the situation well and slides to clear the danger. 

Stepanenko is down after getting Kroos' strike straight in the head. That looked very painful. It's rising and catches him in the face, even worse than the head!

Shakhtar open Madrid up with a wonderful move. 

Zubkov goes 1v1 with Nacho. The Spaniard doesn't dive in and eventually blocks the shot. Shakhtar have a corner. It comes to nothing. Nacho showed all his experience there, standing his ground against Zubkov.

Tchouameni trips Traore in the box but Grinfeeld says it's not a penalty. 

Madrid have been unable to break the home side down. Tchouameni picks the ball up in a central position but his chipped cross is just too high. 

Tonight's game is in Warsaw. Shakhtar, from Ukraine, signed a one-year lease agreement with Legia Warsaw to use their Municipal Stadium (Stadion Wojska Polskiego) in the Polish capital for all of their Champions League home games this season.

Kroos crosses!

But Nacho, sneaking in at the back post, is offside. 

BENZEMA!

It's well hit but Trubin saves Benzema's rising left-footed strike.

Shakhtar clear after some nice link-up play between Benzema, Valverde and Vázquez on the right. It remains 0-0 in Warsaw if you're only joining.

 Konoplya picks up the first booking of the game for a foul on Rodrygo.

Tchouameni makes an excellent challenge on the edge of the area as Shakhtar break forward.

Hazard in Europe

There is pressure on the Belgian to perform tonight.

Real Madrid have won their last five matches in the Champions League and have scored at least two goals in six of their last seven matches against Shakhtar in all competitions.

Rudiger’s effort from distance goes wide.

Lassina Traore is playing up front for Shakhtar with the number two shirt. I never understood that one...

Benzema hasn't scored since August 28 after spending time on the sidelines due to injury and will be hoping to get among the goals tonight. The France international was rested against Getafe on Saturday. 

Celtic take on RB Leipzig in tonight's other Group F clash in Glasgow.

It's been all Madrid in the opening five minutes but there have been no chances of note thus far. 

Hazard is playing in the hole, behind Benzema. Vinicius is on the bench.

Real Madrid will be looking for a positive performance tonight ahead of El Clásico on Sunday. Los Blancos beat Getafe in LaLiga at the weekend. 

Benzema kicks us off in Warsaw!

Madrid are playing from left to right. 

Orin Grinfeeld is tonight's referee.

Both teams go into this game with Madrid top of Group F on nine points and needing just a win to mathematically guarantee their place in the next round.

Shakhtar are second on four points.

The players are in the tunnel!
