Aberdeen 1-1 Shakhtar Donetsk
The second half has started in a similar style to the first - Donetsk dominating, Aberdeen defending.
An audacious attempt with the outside of the boot from full-back Vinicius Tobias leaves Dimitar Mitov on his heels, but thankfully for the goalkeeper it flies over the bar.

HT: Aberdeen 1-1 Shakhtar Donetsk
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at PittodrieThis has been a really disciplined performance so far from Aberdeen, and it has had to be against a Shakhtar side who have pushed and probed with plenty of possession.
The only negative has been the space the visitors were afforded for their equaliser.
The Dons will need to find a way of carrying a bit more of a threat in the final third, but when you consider the level of opposition they have done very well so far.
They will also have the benefit of the wind behind them in the second half.

Rodgers on Schmeichel & lack of goalspublished at 20:53 BST 2 October
FT: Celtic 0-2 Braga
Image source, SNSHere's more from Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers...
On Kasper Schmeichel's role in the opening goal: "He'll be really disappointed with it. It's a good strike and it's obviously moved a little bit, but I haven't spoken to him about it."
On Celtic's lack of goals: "Whatever it is, I need to find the solution to it. There's been too many games now where we haven't scored for a team that, last season, scored the most goals in the last 54 years in the club's history.
"It's my responsibility to find the solutions to that. We got into some good areas and the keeper made some good saves, but we still need to be more aggressive."
On whether summer recruitment has played a part: "It doesn't really matter what it is because nothing is going to change in that aspect until at least January, so I need to find an answer."
HALF-TIME Aberdeen 1-1 Shakhtar Donetskpublished at 20:51 BST 2 October
Aberdeen are still in it at the break, but probably a shade fortunate to be level.
Donetsk have dominated most of the ball and look dynamic going forward.
Arda Turan's side will be disappointed not to have created more clear-cut chances in the opening 45.

FT: Celtic 0-2 Braga
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been speaking at his post-match press conference and says he feels Kelechi Iheanacho's disallowed equaliser against Braga should have stood.
"I can't understand why the referee isn't asked to go and have a look at that," the boss said.
"If you look at it once, twice, I'm assuming the people in the VAR room have looked at it more than that, there's absolutely no way, whatever way you look at it, [Iheanacho] has touched it.
"That's a huge moment in the game. It was a big moment in the game. We started the half well and we continued to push."

Shakhtar equalise with a powerful strike.
Dimitar Mitov rushed out to punch a corner clear, with the following cross back into the area flying over everyone and finding Yegor Nazaryna at the back post.
The central midfielder has time to take a touch out of his feet before firing back across goal.
Mitov could have probably done a bit better to push the shot clear.

Just the 80% possession so far for Shakhtar Donetsk.
Most of that has been in Aberdeen's half too, and the Dons have already put in some shift at the back to remain resolute.
The hosts look decent on the break, but this surely isn't a sustainable way to keep a lead this early on.

Gabri Martinez watches the ball rebound off him into the Celtic net for Braga's second goal
At a glance
Horta hits a speculative shot which Schmeichel flaps at to give Braga lead
Iheanacho races through to equalise, but after lengthy VAR review, the goal is ruled out for handball - pictures don't show a clear infringement
A clearance rattles off Martinez and rebounds into the net for Braga's second
Celtic suffered further European disappointment as goals in each half and a controversial disallowed equaliser earned Sporting Braga victory in a chaotic Europa League encounter at Parkhead.
Kasper Schmeichel had an error-strewn game in goal and failed to keep out Ricardo Horta's early long-range effort, which stunned the Celtic Park crowd into silence.
The Dane then did well to keep out a late shot but was helpless when the ball bounced off Gabri Martinez in a botched clearance and rebounded into the net to seal all the points.
After their Champions League qualification failure against Kairat Almaty, and an opening Europa League draw with Red Star Belgrade, this continued Celtic's disappointing start to their European campaign.
In fact, so sharp has been the drop-off since last season, that Brendan Rodgers' side may struggle to qualify for the latter stages of the Europa League unless they can find their way again, and quickly.
- Published2 October

This was a match Braga dominated for long spells in the first half, prompting Rodgers to change his formation after the break in the hope that a back three and extra men in the middle might solidify his side.
The Scottish champions showed improvement thereafter and thought they had equalised when Kelechi Iheanacho calmly slotted home after a mistake from the Braga backline.
His celebrations were ended by referee Tobias Stieler blowing for handball, a decision backed up by a lengthy video assistant referee (VAR) check, although footage appeared to show the ball did not hit a hand.
Braga then had goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek to thank for two super stops as Celtic ramped up the pressure in search of an equaliser.
First, he leapt to his left to keep out a Kieran Tierney header, before hurling himself to the other corner to tip away Sebastian Tounekti's curling effort which looked destined for the net.
After the change of formation, Rodgers then threw on several substitutes - including Reo Hatate, Arne Engels and James Forrest - but no-one could conjure the quality to find the goal Celtic needed.
Analysis: Celtic's European hangover continues
Celtic showed they're not good enough for the Champions League by failing to score in 210 minutes against Kazakh side Kairat.
Their credentials for the Europa League have now been given a thorough examination by the side sitting seventh in the Portuguese top flight.
Braga are a decent side, and have now beaten both Celtic and Feyenoord in their opening matches in this league phase.
They're far from an elite European outfit, though, and this defeat will sting for Celtic if they have any ambitions to be playing in the competition's knock-out phase.
One point from the first available half dozen will not do, and there was a certain chaos and vulnerability about Rodgers' men which the manager will not have liked.
His team were so comprehensively outplayed for much of the first half that he even abandoned his trusted 4-3-3 formation to go to a back three with wing-backs.
It couldn't inspire a goal and this toothless aspect to Celtic will trouble the manager. They couldn't stop scoring last season. It's a real struggle for them this term.
What they said
Rodgers vows to fix Celtic goal-scoring problems
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "I can't understand why the referee isn't asked to go and have a look at that [Iheanacho's disallowed goal].
"If you look at it once, twice, I'm assuming the people in the VAR room have looked at it more than that, there's absolutely no way whatever way you look it that Iheanacho has touched it. That's a huge moment in the game.
"There's been too many games now where we haven't scored for a team that, last season, scored the most goals in the last 54 years in the clubs' history. It's my responsibility to find the solutions to that."
Former Scotland forward James McFadden: "It was a poor Celtic performance. Lacking quality, something we're not used to seeing. I think the change of shape at half-time helped a little bit, but in the end Braga deserved the win."
Former Celtic midfielder Stiliyan Petrov: "It was all over the place from Celtic. Even Schmeichel - he can play with the ball, but he gave it away and made a lot of mistakes."
What next for Celtic?
Celtic are back to domestic business on Sunday, with Jens Berthel Askou's new-look Motherwell making the trip to Glasgow on Scottish Premiership duty (15:00 BST).

Match Facts
This will be the third European match between Celtic and Braga, after the Portuguese side eliminated the Hoops during a UEFA Champions League qualifier in 2010-11 (4-2 on aggregate).
Braga have played Scottish opposition four times previously in the UEFA Europa League, losing three times to and beating Rangers once between 2020 and 2022.
Celtic have lost just one of their last eight home games in all European competition (W4 D3), a 1-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in last season’s UEFA Champions League.
Braga have failed to win any of their last four away UEFA Europa League games (D1 L3), conceding nine goals in total during that time.
After his goal against Crvena Zvezda, Kelechi Iheanacho could become the seventh player to score in both of his first two major European competition appearances for Celtic, and first since both Andreas Thom and Simon Donnelly did so in September 1995 in the Cup Winners’ Cup.
