    Miovski's positioning is brilliant. He drifts away from his defender, gets a bit of good fortune.

    You know he's going to put that into the back of the net.

    Someone needed to bring Pittodrie to life!

    Miovski just guided it perfectly into that bottom corner.

    It is really poor defending but you can't afford that man the space in the 18-yard box.

    What a finish we're in for at Pittodrie with 83 on the clock.

    Oh myyy, what a chance! Duk, you've got to score.

    A hopeful punt forward catches the HJK defence sleeping and the Dons striker is one on one.

    He's denied in the end by a top save but he has to burst the net.

    It's the first one Miovski hasn't had to think about.

    Aberdeen thoroughly deserve that equaliser.

    GOAL! Aberdeen 1-1 HJK Helsinkipublished at 21:48 British Summer Time 5 October 2023

    Bojan Miovski

    It's the Battle of the Bojans!

    HJK captain Miro Tenho inexplicably heads a Dons cross straight into the path of Bojan Miovski, who grabs the gift with both hands and nods in a leveller.

    Game on.

    Up the other end, the Aberdeen Bojan tries to slide in a similar cross from the left.

    He just can't get there though.

    That could've been game over.

    It's another stunner of a cross from Tuomas Ollila, but goalscorer Bojan Radulovic can't slide it in.

    Can Robson take one of his centre-halves off and bring on an attacker? They have got to go for broke.

    Fifteen minutes of regulation time remaining.

    Realistically, Aberdeen need a win from this. That's asking a lot though.

    Nicky Devlin latches on to a ball on the right and bends in a low cross.

    It's fairly straightforward for the keeper in the end.

    Between Shinnie, Miovski, Barron, Jensen, Duk... I don't know how Aberdeen haven't scored a goal tonight. They'll be kicking themselves.

    This is going to be a massive opportunity missed if they can't get back into this game. They don't deserve to be behind.

    Aberdeen throwing the kitchen sink at Helsinki at the moment in a bid to try and get back into this game.

    But the visitors are standing firm, for now.

    Moments later, Jesse Ost spills an easy save and Duk tries to poke in the rebound.

    Looks like he knocked it out the keeper's hands actually.

    Aberdeen are really coming into this.

    Graeme Shinnie fresh-airs a volley he should really connect with, then Bojan Miovski forces the keeper to tip over.

    The second corner ends up getting headered by the referee. Genuinely.

    Everyone just plays on like nothing happened.

    Better from the Dons as they win a corner.

    Connor Barron takes it. It's cleared but he gets a second bite, that's also turned behind.

    Aberdeen started the second half so tamely.

    I was expecting them to come out with fire but they didn't show that. They were passive, they sat off.

    That's Jack MacKenzie's last action. He's replaced by Jonny Hayes.

    Jack MacKenzie surges down the left and his deflected cross/shot is parried away by the keeper.

    Duk then goes down under a challenge. Never getting a pen for that though.
