Wanderson is teed up by Mamaev but he sends his shot straight into the arms of Howard! It is the final act of the game, as the referee blows for full time!
90' +1
We are into the first of an additional three minutes.
90'
Baines sends a great corner to the back post and Lukaku connects with it. He powers a header towards goal but Dikan gets across and manages to keep it out.
88'
Krasnodar have not reacted in a positive fashion to the equaliser and continue to allow Everton to dictate the game. Perhaps they will be hoping to catch them on the counterattack, but it is looking more likely that the visitors could steal a late winner now!
86'
Osman sends in a cross from the right and Lukaku attempts an overhead kick in a crowded penalty area. He fails to connect and the referee awards the hosts a free kick for his high foot.
84'
Krasnodar had been inviting pressure from Everton and it has finally cost them! That goal from Eto'o could well provide an important point on the road for the Toffees, but could they go on to snatch all three?
83'
S. Petrov enters the game and replaces M. Pereyra.
82'
S. Eto'o has scored a goal for Everton! Assist by L. Baines.
McGeady picks up the ball on the right and he beats Kaleshin to the byline. He attempts to arrow a cross into the centre but the left back makes a recovering challenge to send it out for a corner.
GOOOOOOOOAAAL!! EVERTON HAVE THEIR GOAL! Baines bends a fantastic cross in from the right flank and Eto'o gets away from his marker to divert it home from the edge of the six-yard box! We are all square!
80'
Krasnodar have another chance to hit Everton on the break as Ari loops a pass over the top of the defence. Wanderson latches onto it but he takes too long on the ball and it allows the visitors to get numbers back and the momentum soon fizzles out as play is sent backwards.
78'
Lukaku is adamant there is a handball as he tries to dribble into the box but the referee doesn't see it. Krasnodar look to break but Baines makes a fantastic recovering challenge on Ari. The Brazilian looks to be in some pain following that, but gets up to continue eventually.
Minute
Description
76'
Krasnodar are beginning to drop further back now and are inviting Everton onto them. Still, the quality of passing into the likes of Lukaku and Eto'o has been disappointing.
74'
Eto'o has been very quiet on his return to Russia. The Cameroonian scored on this ground as a Anzhi player but has been practically invisible for much of this evening.
72'
Osman shows a delicate touch to flick Baines' pass over the head of his marker and in behind for Lukaku. The striker is quickly close down as he tries to create space in which to shoot. He ends up at a very acute angle but still forces Dikan into a save with a low strike towards the near post.
71'
P. Mamaev enters the game and replaces R. Laborde.
Time is running out for Everton here. The introduction of Lukaku has not had the desired effect as the Belgian has not received much service. Perhaps Martinez will look to Naismith soon in order to inject some pace to his side's attacking movements.
70'
Laborde, who has put in a really good shift for the hosts tonight, is replaced by Mamaev for the closing 20 minutes.
68'
Laborde is the next Krasnodar player to waltz his way into the penalty area, but he can't quite match Wanderson and is forced to pass the ball back out to Jedrzejczyk. He clips a cross towards the far post which is hooked out for a corner by Hibbert.
66'
OFF THE BAR! Wanderson almost makes the perfect impact! Some superb dribbling from the Brazilian sees him dance his way into the box before clipping an effort past Howard which goes behind off the top of the bar! Great attempt!
65'
Krasnodar make their first change of the match as Izmailov is replaced by Wanderson.
64'
Wanderson enters the game and replaces M. Izmaylov.
63'
Everton have done well to weather the most recent spell of Krasnodar dominance and, while there is only one goal in it, they will still harbour hopes of finding an equaliser.
61'
A couple of chances for Krasnodar! Firstly, Izmailov's blocked shot falls to the feet of Ahmedov but the midfielder fairs no better and is unable to test Howard. Then, Ari gets on the ball at the edge of the box and his shot takes a deflection which sees it loop up before dropping on the roof of the net.
60'
McGeady finally gets back on the ball and works some space on the right in order to get a cross into the box. He fails to find a team-mate but a deflection sees it go behind for a corner.
58'
It is all Krasnodar at the moment. Much like the start of the first half Everton are lacking coherency as they are pressed whenever they have possession. Will the Russians be able to keep this up for the full 90 minutes?
56'
Izmailov tries his luck from 20 yards out once more and this time his effort is blocked by the nearest white shirt. After a bright start he is beginning to work his way back into the action now.
55'
Everton have only faced Russian opposition once previously, and that ended in victory. A Tim Cahill goal was enough to secure a 1-0 win over Zenit in the 2007-08 Uefa Cup.
53'
Lovely play from Krasnodar! Izmailov brings the ball in from the left and feeds Ari. The Brazilian plays a neat one-two with Pereyra before a crucial challenge is made by the Everton defence. The Byki attackers have showed some quality movement tonight.
51'
Laborde attempts to latch onto a pass in behind Jagielka but the Everton centre back gets himself in the way and draws a foul from his opponent. Krasnodar are showing no signs of sitting back and resting on their lead at the moment.
49'
Barry attempts to drill a pass out to McGeady on the half-volley but he gets too much elevation on it and the Republic of Ireland interational is unable to control it and keep it in pay. It was a good idea to try and stretch the play quickly, it was just poorly executed.
47'
Krasnodar win a corner on the near side and it is taken short to Pereyra. The Uruguayan plays it to the feet of Ari as the striker makes a near-post run. He attempts to flick it over the head of Hibbert with his first touch but the Everton man gets his body in the way and deals with it.
46'
R. Lukaku enters the game and replaces C. Atsu.
We are back underway in Russia! One change at the break sees Lukaku come on in place of Atsu.
45' +2
A long ball over the top is nearly latched onto by Laborde but Howard races off his line and heads it away before the referee blows his whistle to signal the end of the half!
45'
There is to be just one minute of added time at the end of this half.
43'
Ari has scored a goal for Krasnodar!
GOOOOOOAAL! ARI OPENS THE SCORING! Ahmedov dinks a pass behind the centre backs for Pereyra but Jagielka, in his attempts to clear it, knocks it straight into the path of Ari. The Brazilian subsequently puts the visitors to the sword with a fine finish past Howard!
42'
Krasnodar are ramping up the pressure at the end of this half. The centre of the field is so congested but they are still getting options out wide in the space.
41'
Laborde again proves to be the source of danger as he races to the byline before checking back inside. Hibbert commits to the challenge and is taken out of the equation, but Barry follows in and stops him from centring the ball with an important challenge.
40'
Hibbert gets a foot to the ball in a challenge on Laborde near the dugouts but the referee didn't like it. It looked clean, but the hosts are awarded a free kick.
38'
Laborde flights a lovely cross in from the left wing which is flicked on by the head of Jedrzejczyk. He fails to get enough power on his header and it bounces comfortably into the hands of Howard.
36'
Atsu has only sporadically got in behind on the right and this time he finds himself in his best position of the half. He does not have much support following the break, though, and can only cut a pass back to Eto'o. His deflected 20-yard shot goes straight back to the winger but he is adjudged offside.
35'
Stones again makes an important challenge on Laborde to stop the Colombian from dribbling into the area. Granqvist initiated that attack as he stepped up from the back in order to push his team on towards goal.
33'
Hibbert clips a great pass down the line for Atsu to run onto and the Chelsea loanee gets in behind to latch onto it. He gets his head up and looks to cut ball back into midfield and only finds Pereyra. Krasnodar subsequently break but Laborde is uanble to worry Howard with his attempted shot from the right flank.
31'
Atsu gets caught on the ball 25 yards from goal by Kaleshin and Krasnodar get Ari on the ball at the top of the box. He lets fly and sees his deflected shot trickle narrowly wide of Howard's goal.
30'
Ari and Pereyra attempt to combine in order to get the former on the ball inside the box, but the Uruguayan's pass is blocked and Everton are able to remove the threat.
28'
WIDE! Gibson's delivery runs all the way out to McGeady on the left of the box and he finds room to dink it back into the centre. Stones gets up, unmarked, and heads it goalwards but his header loops over the roof of the net. Dikan was rooted to the spot!
27'
Atsu shows his pace by breezing past Kaleshin on the right before Granqvist comes across to block his progress from reaching inside the box. Everton manage to retain possession, though, and win a free kick in a great area by the corner.
25'
After a shaky start Everton are beginning to impose themselves on this game. They are still being pressed high but they look far more confident in possession. Barry pulls a good save from Dikan with a left-footed effort that was curling inside the post!
24'
McGeady flights in another quality corner and Stones challenges Dikan for the ball. The Krasnodar players are annoyed by the challenge and feel that the free kick awarded is not enough. The keeper receives some treatment but play soon continues.
23'
GOOD SAVE! McGeady dribbles inside from the left and lashes a low shot towards goal. It looks to be heading into the bottom corner but Dikan gets down and tips it around the post for a corner!
22'
Everton win a corner on the left and it is swung in deep towards the back post. Osman makes a good run and nods the ball back across goal but there is no white shirt to get on the end of it and Granqvist clears.
20'
Howard is forced into another save as Jedrzejczyk tries to sneak a shot inside the keeper's near post from 20 yards. He gets a hand to it and knocks it behind but looks annoyed once he realises that it was clearly going wide of the target.
19'
Ari has been exceptionally lively so far and is leading the line brilliantly. He gets in behind Jagielka here although a poor touch sends the ball straight into the arms of Howard.
17'
IZMAILOV! A cracking strike from the former Porto midfielder is kept out of the bottom corner by a strong hand from Howard! A really good save from keeper.
16'
Hibbert gets forward on the right to offer some additional width but Gibson's attempt to find him is poor and possession is given back to the hosts. Krasnodar break with Laborde looking to get to the byline on the left but a superb challenge from Stones thwarts the move.
14'
Everton finally get into an advanced area but they are unable to create anything and Ahmedov eventually looks to launch a counterattack when he picks up the ball. Barry tugs on his shirt as he tries to keep pace and the referee gives a free kick.
12'
Kaleshin feels his side should have a penalty as his cross is knocked behind for a corner by Hibbert. It appears to strike the right back's arm but the referee does not believe it warranted a free kick and awards only a corner to Krasnodar.
10'
What a chance! Pereyra rolls the ball out to his right for Laborde and the Colombian fires a low cross right across the face of goal. Ari and Izmailov are the men in the middle but neither are able to supply a finishing touch in order to give the hosts the lead.
9'
AHMEDOV! Important block from Jagielka! Krasnodar again cause problems by closing the visitors down in their own half and Ahmedov thumps a shot on goal after Ari tees him up. He gets plenty of venom in it but it deflects off Jagielka and goes out for a corner.
8'
Stones stays down following his attempt to block Laborde's latest cross from the left flank. It appears that he will try and run it off, and indeed, it did seem a fairly innocuous one.
7'
Krasnodar are pressing very high up the pitch and are forcing Everton into a number of errors as they rush to get possession out of their half. The Toffees need to try and calm the tempo to the game or they could be in for a very long night.
5'
McGeady attempts to run in behind Jedrzejczyk but the right back shows his strength to shield the ball from him and let it run out of play for a goal kick.
3'
OVER THE TOP! Gibson loses possession cheaply inside his own half and Ari sends Laborde down to the byline. He cuts the ball back into the six-yard box for Izmailov but it is behind him and the Russian is unable to divert it on goal with a flick.
1'
We are underway in Russia!
Ari comes away with the ball on the left and surges into the middle of the park. He lays it off to Pereyra and the midfielder tries his luck from 25 yards out and fails to hit the target. A bright start from the hosts, though.
Good afternoon and welcome to today's live text commentary on the Europa League Group H encounter between Krasnodar and Everton. The Russian side eliminated Real Sociedad in the play-off stage to ensure their place here, so Roberto Martinez's men face no easy task following their long journey to the east of Europe. My name is Tom Webber, and I will be guiding you through all the action.
Krasnodar have enjoyed a great start to their debut European campaign and are one of just four teams remaining from the second qualifying round. The Russians have won all three of their continental home games to date and have scored 11 goals without conceding. This could be a tricky trip for the Toffees!
KRASNODAR TEAM NEWS: Oleg Kononov makes two changes from the team that started the 3-0 win over Arsenal Tula at the weekend. Brazilian duo Joaozinho, who is suspended for today's game, and Wanderson make way for Ricardo Laborde and Ari.
EVERTON TEAM NEWS: Martinez replaces five players from the group he selected to face Liverpool. James McCarthy, Muhamed Besic, Romelu Lukaku, Steven Naismith and Kevin Mirallas are removed and Darron Gibson, Leon Osman, Samuel Eto’o, Aiden McGeady and Christian Atsu all come in.
Everton sit top of Group H having picked up a resounding 4-1 win at home to Wolfsburg on matchday one, while Krasnodar earned an impressive point with a 1-1 draw away at Lille. There is clearly plenty of quality in this group and there could be twists in every game!
Phil Jagielka’s wonder-goal earned Everton a point in the Merseyside derby with Liverpool at the weekend. Given his changes, Martinez may well have one eye on another tricky fixture against Manchester United on Sunday, but with a place in next season's Champions League available to the Europa League winners he will still be expectant of a positive result.
The Byki have won their last three games in all competitions, scoring 10 and conceding just one. Given that this is their first season in Europe they are somewhat of an unknown quantity. The Toffees will have done their research, but we should still be in for a really interesting game.
There are just a few minutes remaining until kick of at Kuban Stadium!
HALF TIME - Krasnodar 1-0 Everton: The hosts started brightly but it was not until just before the break that they opened the scoring through Ari. Dikan has had a couple saves to make in the Russians' goal, though, as the Toffees threatened during the midway point of the first period. We still have another 45 minutes to come, so stay tuned!
Welcome back! The teams are back out on the pitch and the second half will begin imminently.
FULL TIME - Krasnodar 1-1 Everton: Ari gave the hosts the lead in the first half and Wanderson was only denied from adding to that by the crossbar. However, the Byki eventually sat back and invited the Toffees onto them and it cost them as Eto'o netted a late equaliser.
Everton will now have to wait for the result of the game between Wolfsburg and Lille to see if they hold onto top spot in Group H. That is it from me, Tom Webber, for this evening. Have a great night.
