E. Sobol gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
And Zorya's terrible evening is capped off by a second yellow card to Sobol, who had fouled Stoch. They're down to 10 men, but that may be the last act of the game.
90' +2
M. Škrtel gets yellow.
Skrtel gets a late booking.
90'
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A THIRD! Stoch, who has been enterprising off the bench, drives down the right-hand side and puts it on a plate for Potuk, who can't beat Shevchenko at his near post!
88'
Two minutes to go here in Istanbul, and the Fenerbahce fans are celebrating. They've been in great voice all night. Demirel gets his first touch in a very long while, catching a simple cross.
86'
S. Uçan enters the game and replaces M. Sow.
Sow has had an interesting game, and really began to show more of his ability when Emenike departed. On comes Ucan for the final stretch, meaning that we're not going to see Van Persie tonight.
83'
Kharatin takes aim from a decent position on the edge of the 18-yard area, but he can't keep it down. That gives Fenerbahce control of possession again and they're in no hurry to relinquish it.
80'
The tempo of this game has died down, and it's now a matter of how many goals Fenerbahce want from this game. They're passing the life out of Zorya and looking completely at ease.
78'
Chaykovskiy sees an effort blocked as he tries to rush through a gap between Skrtel and Kjaer, rushing a half-volley. It's the closest that Zorya have come in the second half, which sums it up.
76'
Fenerbahce win another free-kick in a similar sort of position to the one that led to the second goal. However, they play it short this time, preferring to keep a hold of the ball on the near side.
74'
E. Sobol gets yellow.
Sobol takes a chunk out of Stoch with a challenge, and is shown a yellow card.
Minute
Description
73'
R. Neustädter enters the game and replaces V. Şen.
Neustadter has been introduced in place of Sen for the hosts.
72'
It's going to take some doing for the home side to end up losing this now. They've been dominant since the restart, and are heading through to the round of 32.
70'
Fenerbahce are threatening to run away with this in the second half, as Sen tries to tee up Sow for a finish but this time, Shevchenko gets there first and smothers the ball from in close.
69'
Paulinho enters the game and replaces V. Kulach.
Kulach's night is at an end, and on comes Paulinho.
67'
S. Kjær has scored a goal for Fenerbahce! Assist by A. Potuk.
Lovely free-kick from Potuk!
FENERBAHCE HAVE ADDED A SECOND! From the resulting free-kick, Kjaer gets ahead of his man inside a crowded penalty area to plant a bullet header into the back of the net!
66'
E. Dennis gets yellow.
Bonaventure is booked for a foul on Sen. It was a blatant drag back by the substitute.
64'
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TWO! A shot from the right side is so bad, it ends up being a pretty decent cross for Sow, who stretched his leg to make contact inside the area, but he can't convert!
61'
What will the response be from Zorya? They've certainly shown that they're capable of causing Fenerbahce some problems, but the second half has proven to be a different story. With their danger man Petryak off, it's unclear where the thrust will come from.
59'
M. Stoch has scored a goal for Fenerbahce! Assist by M. Sow.
SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF THE NET! The substitute Stoch advances from the left-hand side and takes aim from at least 25 yards. Shevchenko got a hand to it, but could not keep it out!
Moments before, Sow acrobatically got a touch on the ball to present it to Stoch.
57'
E. Dennis enters the game and replaces I. Petriak.
Petryak has been withdrawn for Bonaventure.
Sivakov is needed to get to the ball ahead of Sow. This is a complete 180 from the events of the first half, where it was Zorya doing the bulk of the attacking. The opener may not be too far away.
55'
The pressure continues to mount on the visiting side, who have barely been able to get the ball out of their own half. Ozbayrakli takes another speculative shot that goes well wide of the mark.
52'
One of the best moves of the game sees Zorya struggling to keep up with the movement of Fenerbahce. Ozbayrakli shifts his body to evade his marker and create space for the shot, but it's sent off the mark.
50'
Zorya will do well to recover some poise here as Fenerbahce are all over them. However, they need to do a lot better than Sen, who bent a shot well off the mark from a good position.
48'
Fenerbahce have started the second period at full speed, and Sen's corner finds the head of Skrtel inside the area. The ex-Liverpool man bounces his header into the turf, but Shevchenko spectacularly tips it over!
46'
M. Stoch enters the game and replaces E. Emenike.
Stoch has been introduced for Emenike, who was disappointing.
Off we go again.
45' +1
Skrtel climbs all over the top of Kulach, but the visitors can't make anything of the free-kick, and that will be the end of the half.
44'
A sweeping cross from Potuk flashes dangerously towards the far post, but Sivakov is able to get his body in the way to prevent Sow from getting a touch. Not long to go now in the first half.
41'
Fenerbahce are ending the first half with something of a revival, but they haven't been able to get Emenike involved from open play. Most of their attacks have run through Potuk in the centre.
39'
Zorya are playing like a side that know that their Europa League future is on the line in this game. Petryak has been the best player on the park, but Chaykovskiy and Kharatin have also put in dependable displays.
37'
NOT A BAD LOOK! Petryak swings in another dangerous ball from the left flank that just sails over the head of Kulach. Karavaev picks up the pieces on the far side, squaring for Grechyshkin to have a go, but it's well off the mark after a block.
35'
Y. Opanasenko enters the game and replaces M. Kameniuka.
Kamenyuka is struggling, and he'll have to be replaced by Opanasenko.
34'
You get the sense that it will be a mistake that leads to the breakthrough in this game. Both sides are turning the ball over in risky positions and the midfields aren't doing a proper job of protecting the defence.
32'
Potuk makes a darting run down the centre, but a touch on the ball from Kamenyuka takes him off his stride. However, the playmaker does well to hustle back to win the ball, taking aim from the edge of the area but shanking it horribly.
30'
WAS THAT OFFSIDE? Petryak is the man with the plan for the visitors once more, sending in a cross that Kharatin takes on the turn and fires into the back of the net. The flag was up, but replays showed him to be level with Skrtel!
27'
Fenerbahce have been absolutely terrible when attempting to play out of the back. Chaykovskiy pounces on a loose pass from Topal and gets the ball to that man Petryak out wide for a cross that's blocked.
24'
BLOCKED! Petryak has been a busy customer on the left flank, although he's lucky the referee didn't see the ball slip out of play as he raced down the far touchline. He squares it for Chaykovskiy to shoot from 20 yards, but it's deflected away.
22'
Karavaev misses the target with a speculative shot. You get the sense that we're edging closer to an opening goal, with neither side looking entirely comfortable when defending from open play.
20'
WIDE OF THE MARK! Fenerbahce are really starting to look more like their usual selves, as Emenike pounces on a turnover deep in the opposition half, only to flash wide from 20 yards.
18'
Fenerbahce have their first sight on goal after winning a corner down the right-hand side. Potuk sends the ball into a good area, and Souza connects with a header, but it sails over the bar.
14'
SHOULD HAVE TESTED THE KEEPER! Sobol overlaps down the left and hoists a cross that somehow evades two banks of players, finding its way to Kamenyuka at the back post. He wasn't expecting that, as the ball bounced off his chest and out!
12'
A Zorya corner is palmed away by the goalkeeper, but it's kept alive by Petryak on the far side. The return cross is sent into the area, but Skrtel manages to get a boot to the ball.
10'
Fenerbahce finally get a spell of sustained possession on the ball, and try to build out of the back with methodical passing. They're unable to connect with the front four though, as Zorya defend well.
8'
The Ulker Stadium is a cauldron of noise as you would expect, but the tribal chanting hasn't done much to wake Fenerbahce out of their slumber. It's been a pedestrian start by the hosts.
5'
The visitors have won a fair number of free-kicks, but their end product has been sorely lacking. Twice, the ball has been curled wide from good positions that should have put the defence under pressure.
3'
Karavaev is quick, but even he doesn't have the legs to catch up to a long ball over the top that finds its way through to Demirel in the end. Decent start to the game from the visitors.
1'
Off we go!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Europa League match between Fenerbahce and Zorya in Istanbul. A win will see the home side through to the next round, while anything less than three points for the visitors will be the end of their European journey.
A win guarantees Fenerbahce a spot in the next stage, while even if they fail to pick up maximum points, results elsewhere could see them progress. Domestically they're third in the Super Lig, but are already eight points off the pace after 11 games.
Zorya have only picked up two points in their opening four Group A games, and simply need to win, or they're out of their first-ever Europa League group-stage campaign. They also sit third in their domestic league, although they have an 11-point gap on leaders Shakhtar.
Robin van Persie is on the bench for the home side, with Emmanuel Emenike leading the line, flanked by Moussa Sow and Volkan Sen. The visitors will line up in a defensive 4-4-1-1 formation, and a lot will depend on the ability of Ihor Kharatin to link with striker Vladyslav Kulach.
The referee sends both teams down the tunnel with the scores goalless - a result that doesn't really help either side in their hopes of qualification from Group A. The visitors, facing elimination, have been the better side, and will be a little disappointed that they haven't managed to test Shevchenko more often. Second half is soon, so stay tuned.
And that will wrap things up here from Istanbul, with Fenerbahce booking their place in the round of 32 thanks to a 2-0 win over Zorya, who are now eliminated. Goals from Stoch and Kjaer made the difference for the hosts, who were under pressure in the opening period, but recovered to dominate after the interval. That's all from us, thanks for joining!
