Tomovic adds to the collection of yellow cards, and that booking is just punishment after a crunching and reckless challenge on Lens. That may just about do it here.
90' +2
K. Babacar has scored a goal for Fiorentina!
BABACAR HAS DONE IT! FIORENTINA HAVE THEIR REWARD! Fernandez somehow hooks a cross in from the right, and the Senegal striker fights for the initial ball. Bodies go down in a heap, but he's the first to hold his balance, and he finishes with a neat overhead kick from point-blank range!
90'
Tomovic swings in a decent cross that is kept alive by Vargas' header at the far post. Salah attacks it centrally, but it's a swing and a miss as he attempts to convert on the volley.
88'
Dynamo just need to keep possession here with time winding down fast. Fiorentina, apart from a two-minute flurry, have generally been out of attacking ideas in the second half.
86'
Salah once again beats the first defender, but his dribble takes him a little too far away from the ball, and he's unable to recover before Dragovic scampers across to clear the danger.
84'
Montella follows suit with his final substitution, replacing the quietly impressive Valero with Aquilani. Fiorentina have never lost a match at this stage of the competition, stretching back to when it was known as the Uefa Cup.
83'
A. Aquilani enters the game and replaces Borja Valero.
82'
Valero does well to release Salah initially, but what first appeared as a great through ball eventually seems over-hit, as Neto is able to race off his line and clear despite coming out of the blocks late.
80'
Y. Chumak enters the game and replaces V. Buialskyi.
Buyalskiy has departed for Chumak as Rebrov uses his third and final substitution. Time is really starting to run out for the visitors, who had two great opportunities pass them by in the last few minutes.
78'
AGAINST THE WOODWORK! That's the closest that Fiorentina have come to a goal in this game. Vargas' cross takes a crucial deflection that puts it into the path of Valero's run at the near post. The Spaniard meets it with a header, but with Shovkovskiy stranded, he can only rattle the upright! Was that the chance for a Viola away goal?
Minute
Description
77'
K. Babacar enters the game and replaces M. Gómez.
76'
DISAPPOINTING END TO AN ENTERPRISING MOVE! Salah races down the right-hand side and not even the combined attention of Vida and Dragovic can keep him down. The Egyptian races into the box via the byline and cuts back to the top of the D. He has Vargas unmarked on the opposite side and attempts to lay if off, but Khacheridi reads the pass too easily and intercepts!
74'
That last spate of yellow cards and substitutions disrupted what paltry momentum the game had managed to muster up. How long until Dynamo retreat their forces and protect this 1-0 lead with everything?
72'
Less than 20 minutes to go now and it's still 1-0 to the hosts. The bookings are starting to pile up thick and fast, with Lens the latest recipient of a yellow card after sliding in late on Fernandez.
71'
J. Lens gets yellow.
70'
Sydorchuk has also departed for Belhanda, moments before the referee reaches for his pocket again to pull out a yellow card for Khacheridi, who was responsible for upending Alonso.
69'
Y. Khacheridi gets yellow.
Joaquin's evening is at an end, with the Peruvian Juan Vargas coming on to replace him. The left-footed substitute will look to provide more ammunition from the flanks, as opposed to the Spaniard, who cut inside regularly.
68'
J. Vargas enters the game and replaces Joaquín.
Y. Belhanda enters the game and replaces S. Sydorchuk.
It won't be the last booking, however, as Alonso is penalized for tugging back, then tripping Teodorczyk in plain view of the referee. The Dynamo striker has plowed a lonely furrow up to tonight.
67'
Badelj is upended by Sydorchuk, leading to another booking. Surprisingly though, it's the first card of the second half despite a number of testy challenges occurring since the restart.
66'
Marcos Alonso gets yellow.
Joaquin squares up to Vida on the right-hand side, but the substitute doesn't fall for any of the Spaniard's trickery, and does excellently to muscle him off the ball before a competent cross can come in.
65'
S. Sydorchuk gets yellow.
64'
Dynamo have won all five home games in Europe so far this season, and all five of those matches have been taken by a margin of at least two goals. Meanwhile, Sydorchuk hesitates on a shot from a good position to an audible groan from the crowd.
62'
The away goal has become such an important tactical consideration that many sides don't see a goalless draw at home as a bad result. Make no mistake - a 1-0 win for Dynamo will represent great business for Rebrov and his team.
60'
Just about one hour left in this one and there's truthfully been little sign of a second goal in this game since Lens' deflected opener. The second half in particular has been not much more than a scrap.
58'
Khacheridi makes an unorthodox but ultimately effective clearance down the wing to prevent Salah from getting through. He's another Dynamo player who has improved considerably after a shaky start to the game.
56'
Rybalka and Sydorchuk have both taken turns dropping into the home side's back four whenever there's been a ball about to come in from the flanks. As a result, the likes of Gomez have barely had a sniff in this half.
54'
The second half has struggled to kick into life, and that's largely because Dynamo have done a better job in possession. That has created a lot of bogged-down situations in midfield, which suits the hosts just fine but isn't as promising for the visitors - not to mention us neutrals.
52'
Salah has been the victim of a few tough challenges today, and it's no surprise why. His form for Fiorentina since the move to Chelsea has been stellar, and he's proven that again tonight with a threatening display.
50'
Fiorentina are starting to get on the ball more and more, mirroring their play for much of the first half. The end product isn't really the greatest, however, and the visitors are going to have to be a little more clinical to get back into this contest.
48'
There was an early chance coming out of the break for Rybalka, who lashed a 20-yarder the wrong side of the post. He, along with Yarmolenko have been the best performers for the home side. His ability to set the tempo and facilitate attacks has really helped his team recover from that shoddy opening half-hour.
46'
We're off again!
45' +2
M. Gómez gets yellow.
Still enough time for Gomez to get carded for barging away his marker with a careless collision.
45' +1
It sails over the crossbar from Fernandez, but there was a deflection, giving the visitors a corner with probably the last chance of the first half. However, la Viola can't get the resulting set-piece past the first defender.
44'
A. Dragović gets yellow.
Dragovic goes in hard on Valero, and that challenge is enough to warrant the first yellow card of the game. It also sets Fiorentina up with an interesting chance from a free-kick about 25 yards out.
42'
It's not going Fiorentina's way here, and a defeat will put the finishing touches on a miserable week for them, after successive 3-0 defeats to Juventus and Napoli that saw their Coppa Italia ambitions ended and their hopes for a Champions League spot next season severely damaged.
40'
This is more like the Dynamo that overcame Everton in that entertaining round of 16 tie. It's Fiorentina's turn to sit back and soak up the pressure, as the hosts seek another before the break.
38'
That goal, which registered as Dynamo's first shot on target, seems to have woken up the home side from their slumber. Rybalka has an attempt from 30 yards out that ends up sailing right down the throat of Neto.
36'
J. Lens has scored a goal for Dinamo Kiev! Assist by V. Buialskyi.
SHOCK OPENER! Completely against the run of play and Dynamo still need a huge slice of luck! Lens has a speculative try from outside the box, but a deflection off Tomovic is enough to fool Neto and see the ball sail into the back of the net!
35'
Badelj has a crack from at least 25 yards, and the midfielder comes close to taking a lick of paint off the crossbar with that attempt! The chances continue to fall around the home side's goal.
33'
It continues to be one-way traffic in this game, and a Fiorentina opener seems more and more like an inevitability. There haven't really been that many clear-cut chances, but the play in the middle and final thirds from the visitors has been so much better than their opponents.
31'
JUST WIDE OF THE MARK! Fiorentina orchestrate another excellent buildup, which sees Fernandez start and nearly finish a one-two with Gomez. However, the Chilean's effort curls around the wrong side of the upright!
29'
Rybalka hooks a deep pass down the right again, and Yarmolenko makes an almighty stretch to bring it under his control. However, Alonso does well to keep tight on him from the first moment, and eventually prevent him from having a cross or a run from the byline.
27'
CHANCES! Yarmolenko cuts in from the right-hand side again, but once more, his effort is blocked by a defender. Almost on the very next play, the visitors then have a chance to go ahead when Salah attacks a loose ball at the near post, but Shovkovskiy makes an excellent save down low!
25'
After a long and seemingly unneeded delay, the stricken Antunes, who could barely walk for the last few minutes, has been replaced by Domagoj Vida. Will that change Fiorentina's fortunes down the right-hand side?
24'
D. Vida enters the game and replaces Antunes.
23'
The noise from the fans has changed from unbridled passion to a more pensive outlook, with the visiting side clearly in control of this match. The home team have barely had the ball out of their own half for more than a few seconds.
21'
There's a problem for Antunes, who appeared to have tweaked his ankle in that last tussle with Salah. To be honest, the full-back has been under much duress in the early exchanges even without that injury. Fiorentina have found a lot of joy down his side.
19'
Antunes is left for dead out wide by Salah, who tees up Gomez centrally. The German's initial effort is scuffed, but he recovers admirably to win the ball off a defender and fire another attempt, this time into the side netting!
17'
Yarmolenko picks up a loose ball and storms through two players through sheer willpower, but his snap shot on the top of the box is just about blocked. Great hustle from the winger there.
15'
Decent attack from the home side, with Lens hooking a dangerous ball into the area that is just about contained by Alonso at the back post. Yarmolenko was lurking dangerously to apply the finish.
13'
Dynamo seem to be inviting a lot of pressure on themselves with their rudimentary distribution out of defence. Their players are a little too close to one another and it's making it easy for Fiorentina to hunt in packs and win the ball.
11'
EFFORT BLOCKED! Close call for Dynamo there, as Joaquin's quick turn of direction appeared to have fooled his marker, but the Spaniard digs his effort into the prone body of the defender instead of on the target. He's appealing for a handball, but it was always likely to be a tough one.
9'
Closely contested game here. These teams were always unlikely to be separated by much, and there's been a lot of hard battles in the midfield areas already. This is going to be tight.
7'
Opportunity here as Joaquin cuts in from the left, driving across the face of the box, but his strike is lashed far over the bar. A little better from Fiorentina in recent advances into the opposition half.
5'
Mati Fernandez has won a free kick on the right-hand side after a tussle with Antunes, who will be a busy man tonight with both the Chilean and Salah to contend with on the flank. However, la Viola can't make anything happen from the resulting delivery, and Dynamo clear.
3'
Excellent atmosphere inside this ground despite the partial stadium ban. Chants of "Dynamo, Dynamo!" ring around the stands, and to be quite honest, it looks to be rattling Fiorentina a little.
1'
Here we go!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Europa League quarter final between Dynamo Kiev and Fiorentina. The Serie A side have seen their season begin to unravel in recent matches, with this competition representing their only chance at a trophy. They face a tricky test against the Ukrainian Premier League leaders. I'm Keeghann Sinanan, your guide for all the action.
Just over a week ago, Fiorentina were in the hunt for two trophies and a Champions League finish in the league. However, they were dumped out of the Coppa Italia by Juventus courtesy of a 3-0 loss, and were beaten by Napoli by the same scoreline in the Serie A over the weekend, leaving them eight points out of Roma in the third and final UCL berth, with only eight games left. La Viola suffered disappointment in two competitions last week - will they again be left wanting in a third?
Dynamo Kiev are five points clear at the top of the Ukrainian Premier League, and have not tasted defeat in their 19 games so far. They dumped out Everton 6-4 on aggregate to reach this point. Serhiy Rebrov has worked a minor miracle at the club, and is hell bent on breaking Shakhtar's cycle of domestic dominance. On a more sobering note, tonight's match at their Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex will see the ground under a partial stadium ban due to racist behaviour of some of their supporters during the tie against the Toffees.
There have been four previous clashes between these two sides, and none of those games has resulted in a Dynamo win. Fiorentina have won twice, with the other two encounters ending in goalless stalemates. The Ukrainians have been very strong at home this year, but it remains to be seen how the atmosphere will be affected by the stadium ban.
Jeremain Lens returns to the startng lineup in place of Artem Kravets, but there's not enough time for Portugal midfielder Miguel Veloso to recover from his injury. A lot will depend on Andriy Yarmolenko on the right flank, and Fiorentina will have to be aware of his danger.
Mario Gomez has returned to lead the line for the visiting side, with Mohamed Salah and Joaquin flanking him. Mati Fernandez has also been handed a start in midfield, replacing Juan Manuel Vargas. Jose Basanta and Khouma Babacar are both missing from this game with suspension and injury respectively.
And that will do it for the first half from Ukraine. Fiorentina, quite honestly, will be kicking themselves at the fact that they're behind. A first half hour dominated by the visitors somehow saw the Dynamo goal escape unscathed. Not long after, a deflected effort gave the hosts the lead against the run of play. That sparked something of a Dynamo revival, but Rebrov will still know deep down that his team are fortunate to be in the lead. Stay tuned for the restart in just a bit.
We're at full time here, and it was a dramatic end to a match which often struggled to kick into life. Babacar's spectacular leveler got the visitors the away goal that they craved, and leaves this tie finely poised for the second leg in one week's time. Dynamo were ahead for so long against the run of play, but just could not close it out in the end.
That's all from me, I've been Keeghann Sinanan and it's been a pleasure!
