- 90'+2'That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
- 90'+2'Dinamo Zagreb top Group C after a 4-0 victory over Atalanta, with City second on goal difference. They return to Premier League action on Saturday, facing Watford at the Etihad. Meanwhile, Shakhtar will hope to get back to winning ways against Desna on Sunday.
- 90'+2'FULL-TIME: SHAKHTAR 0-3 MANCHESTER CITY
- 90'There will be a minimum of two minutes added time played.
- 89'Will there be one final chance for Shakhtar to score a consolation goal? They're playing two up front now, but can't get any joy in the final third.
- 87'Shakhtar are keeping the ball well in these last few minutes, but City have totally dropped off now and are just trying to see the game out.
- 83'Final City substitution now, with Rodri replaced by Mendy. It looks like Zinchenko will move into a midfield position as Mendy comes on at left-back.
- 81'Another City change, with Walker replaced by Cancelo.
- 79'City will want a clean sheet now, they haven't really been troubled at the back in this second half and a 3-0 win would be the perfect way to kick off their Champions League campaign.
- 77'Shakhtar make their third and final substitution, as Moraes heads off the pitch and he is replaced by Dentinho.
- 77'City make their first change, with De Bruyne coming off the pitch to be replaced by Bernardo.
- 76'De Bruyne drives at the heart of the Shakhtar defence after some sloppy play by the hosts further up the pitch. The Belgian then slides the ball through to Jesus, who produces a fine finish.
- 76'GOOOAAALLL! Jesus makes it 3-0 to City! They've finally got their third goal and that should wrap up the three points now. De Bruyne plays a lovely ball square to Jesus, who just stays onside and then races through on goal and beats Pyatov, by sliding the ball into the bottom right-hand corner.
- 74'Shakhtar make their second substitution of the game, with Patrick coming off and he has been replaced by Antonio.
- 70'The hosts are camped inside their own half now, with every player back behind the ball, soaking up the pressure from City as they continue to dominate possession.
- 68'Close! De Bruyne drills the ball just wide of the Shakhtar goal, after a lovely quick move in the final third, but the midfielders shot was off target.
- 67'Another City goal would surely clinch the victory, they are dominating the game now as Shakhtar begin to tire. Still no changes for Pep Guardiola's side.
- 65'Shakhtar have won the domestic cup and league double for the past three successive seasons, but they haven't been able to turn the domestic form into success in European competitions yet.
- 63'Goal ruled out! Otamendi has the ball in the back of the net, with an acrobatic volley, but Sterling was flagged offside in the build-up to the goal so it's ruled out.
- 59'The visitors are playing a very high backline, so it's making it difficult for Shakhtar to create anything as there is so little space in front of them. Just a long ball over the top is available if they can time it correctly.
- 57'City look very comfortable right now, still pushing forward in search of another goal, but they look like they could score every time they attack as Shakhtar don't look assured at the back.
- 55'Shakhtar are knocking the ball about well, but it's all in their own half and there isn't much pace or urgency to their play, so the visitors are quite happy for them to keep it.
- 48'Good positive start to the second half by Shakhtar, they are keeping the ball well and are looking to try and pull a goal back early on here.
- 46'Shakhtar have made a change ahead of the second half, with Solomon replaced by Konoplyanka.
- 46'The second half is underway!
- 45'+1'Shakhtar failed to score against City last season in the Champions League group games and they have it all to do to score and get anything out of this game now.
- 45'+1'HALF-TIME: SHAKHTAR 0-2 MANCHESTER CITY
- 45'There will be a minimum of one minute added time played.
- 44'There's just a few minutes left until the break now, can Shakhtar pull one back before the half-time whistle, or will City extend their lead?
- 38'The first touch from Mahrez is superb, it takes Ismaily out of the game as he cuts inside and then plays a lovely ball in behind the Shakhtar defence for Gundogan to run onto and finish.
- 38'GOOOAAALLL! City double their lead, it's 2-0! Gundogan with the second goal of the game. The midfielder races into the box unmarked and Mahrez finds him perfectly after cutting inside from the right wing, with Gundogan then toe-poking the ball past Pyatov and into the back of the net. Lovely move and goal.
- 37'The game is starting to hot up slightly as we approach the end of the first half, with Shakhtar sitting deep but then breaking forward quickly on the counter when they can. Meanwhile, City are struggling to carve open the resilient defence of the hosts, who are getting numbers back behind the ball.
- 33'Ismaily goes down in the penalty area after a tackle by Otamendi, but the City centre-back won the ball fairly and the referee waves away his weak appeal for a penalty.
- 31'We're midway into the first half now and City lead 1-0, but Shakhtar are keeping the ball well and look dangerous down the flanks at the moment.
- 29'Rodri is the first player booked after he hacks down Ismaily from behind, as the Shakhtar left-back looked to break into the City final third.
- 28'Sterling has been on the end of a few fouls so far, he has won a couple of free-kicks already for City, as the Shakhtar players get tight to him as soon as he receives the ball.
- 24'GOOOAAALLL! City lead 1-0 as Mahrez smashes the ball home from just a couple of yards out. Gundogan strikes the post from the edge of the box, but the rebound falls perfectly to the feet of Mahrez, who fires the ball into the back of the net. There was a quick VAR check on the goal to see if he was offside, but the winger was comfortably onside when the shot was fired.
- 20'Mahrez with a good opportunity as the ball falls nicely to him on the edge of the area, but he gets too much on his effort and it flies high over the Shakhtar goal.
- 18'Walker appears to have picked up a knock here, he was forced into making a challenge on Ismaily a few minutes ago and Cancelo is now getting warmed up on the sidelines.
- 16'Shakhtar are doing a good job of keeping Sterling and Mahrez quiet down the wings so far tonight, they've not seen much of the ball, with Jesus also well marked in the centre of the pitch.
- 14'It's a very even game so far, both teams are going for it, but just lacking quality in the final third at the moment.
- 12'Good play by Shakhtar! Ismaily does well down the left, he beats Walker and then whips a cross into the box, which is headed half clear by Zinchenko, but the ball falls straight to Marlos, who has his first effort blocked, but he gets another go at it. However, this strike flies well wide of the City goal.
- 10'Decent chance! Otamendi almost gets on the end of a deep cross into the box, but he just can't stretch far enough to control the ball at the far post and it goes out of play.
- 7'Sterling wins a free-kick deep inside the Shakhtar half of the pitch, close to the left touchline. De Bruyne whips it into the box, but Gundogan is penalised for a foul on Moraes in the penalty area.
- 5'Shakhar have managed to withstand the early City pressure and are now keeping the ball themselves, trying to break forward quickly on the counter and stretch the weakened City defence.
- 3'The visitors are enjoying the early possession here, keeping the ball well in midfield and forcing Shakhtar to get everyone back behind the ball early on.
- 1'Early chance! City win a free-kick in the Shakhtar half within seconds of getting the game underway and De Bruyne whips the ball into the box, which is met by the head of Rodri, but he can't direct the ball towards goal and it flies well wide.
