    Shay Logan gets a shot on target for Aberdeen and Vladimir Plotnikov positions himself well to smother the ball. The keeper then pulls up in pain but it's not immediately clear why.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 6 August 2015

    Adam Rooney replaces Peter Pawlett in Aberdeen's first change.

    Frustration for the home fans as Shay Logan's cross misses everyone. It's been that kind of night for the Dons.

    Peter Pawlett's snapshot from 25 yards is well wide of the Kairat goal.

    That cancels out Aberdeen's away goal from the first leg and Aberdeen now need to score three goals to progress.

    Another effort from McGinn, this time from outside the box, is well over.

    Decent chance for Niall McGinn. The Aberdeen forward retrieves Shay Logan's deep cross in the inside left channel and snatches at his shot somewhat, sending it wide.

    Andy Considine gets a warm cheer from the home fans after making a well timed challenge on Isael.

    This could be a tense second half. Space in the final third is becoming ever more scarce for both sides.

    The second half begins with Kairat kicking off.

    Former Aberdeen captain Willie Miller

    "It's been end-to-end at times, with lots of good play from penalty box to penalty box then it breaks down.

    "Shay Logan looks a bit nervous and anxious, which is unusual and Niall McGinn has been anonymous, which is disappointing since the Kairat left-back is there for the taking."

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 6 August 2015

    Kairat still lead 2-1 on aggregate after 45 minutes at Pittodrie. The Kazakh side started the better of the two sides but Aberdeen gradually got a foothold and, with a bit more composure in the final third, could have got themselves ahead.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 6 August 2015

    A third booking for Kairat, this time Mikhail Bakaev is carded for a challenge on Peter Pawlett.
