Return leg in Ukraine on 19 March
If Everton don't take a lead to Ukraine they'll be frustrated. This tie has been turned on its head. Ross Barkley has a goal-bound shot charged down before Seamus Coleman goes close with a header from Kevin Mirallas's cross. How much longer can Kiev's defence hold out?
Image source, PAAnother chance, another near miss. Luke Garbutt is having a busy night. He whips in another corner and Steven Naismith's glancing header flies to Romelu Lukaku, who fails to make a clean contact. Kiev's defence is creaking.
Daniep, Darlington: Regardless of allegiance (I support man utd) i think we all want everton to do well tonight. Just so the Premier League doesn't look so bad.
Mike: Been an Evertonian all my life and honestly never seen and Everton team play so badly. 100% I was behind Roberto but it's about time he gave in his notice and we got manger that actually knows what it means to wear the blue kit. Upsetting and shocking are the words
James Marshall: The Premier League itself is the reason for European exits. Clubs now have one eye on their league positions and Europe is more of a distraction now than ever.

Luke Garbutt whips the set-piece into the danger area from a wide angle. Everton players try but fail to head the ball - which is nonetheless on target and the Dynamo Kiev keeper is content to beat it away. It's all Everton. Wave after wave of attack.
Those white shirts have become edgy and nervous. In contrast, the players occupying the blue shirts are swarming across the pitch and playing like a team in control. Everton have a free-kick in a dangerous area.

Lots of energy and purpose about Everton. High tempo start to the second half. Antolin Alcaraz chancing his luck from distance. It's not a bad effort either. Applause rings out. Not long ago the home fans were booing him.
Everton left-back Leighton Baines is in the ITV studio talking a lot of sense. Home fans would dearly wish he was on the pitch. We're back under way.
Mike Lawson:, external I really do wonder how much my life has been shortened by watching Everton. Tonight is a perfect example.
Michael Mabbitt:, external Only Chuck Norris has ever survived going shoulder to shoulder with Lukaku.
Tim Oliver:, external Yes! Finally Everton actually try to attack directly, and we score.

Former Everton and England keeper Nigel Martyn: , externalGood finish to the first half from Everton. They need to come out and put them under the same sort of pressure at the start of the second half.

"And the lesson for Everton and Roberto Martinez - football played at a decent tempo with just the occasional forward pass might get you somewhere."

Helter-skelter at Goodison Park. Everton fans were ready to let rip but the players trudge off to applause after a strong finish to the half. There's an awful long way to go. But the Toffees are in the ascendancy.
Everton are ending the half with a flourish. They have a huge chance. Kevin Mirallas goes round the keeper and Romelu Lukaku is screaming for the ball for a simple tap-in. But Mirallas's pass is cut out before any damage can be done.
Si's Insights:, external Delighted to see Naismith equalise for Everton. The just reward for a spell of high tempo, passing, pressing play.
MJC1973:, external That goal been coming. That's how they should play and this from Liverpool fan.

Talk about timing. Steven Naismith's goal has totally transformed the atmosphere at Goodison. The natives were growing restless. Now they're singing their hearts out.
Image source, ReutersEverton have come alive. And they're now level. Romelu Lukaku bulldozes his way through Kiev's defence to set up Steven Naismith. The Scotland forward still has work to do but shows great composure to fire a low finish across and beyond the keeper. Goodison erupts.
Image source, ReutersBetter from Everton. Romelu Lukaku skims the bar with a free-kick but the referee gives a corner, thinking the keeper had made a finger-tip save. From the corner Phil Jagielka's goal-bound header is cleared off the line by Danilo Silva before Antolin Alcaraz has a shot deflected over.
