90' +2
G. Higuaín has scored a goal for Juventus!
GOOOAAALLL! Higuain doubles his sides lead and makes it 2-0 late on! The striker plays a quick one-two with Dybala on the edge of the penalty area and then lashes the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net, giving Hradecky no chance of saving that.
90'
There will be a minimum of FOUR minutes added time played.
87'
The home supporters have kept the volume levels high all night, they've remained behind their side despite the scoreline and qualification falling out of their grasp.
85'
B. Matuidi enters the game and replaces A. Rabiot.
Another Juventus change, with Rabiot replaced by Matuidi in midfield.
84'
Juventus are allowing Leverkusen to keep the ball now and pass it around the pitch at their own pace, they look content with a 1-0 victory away from home.
82'
K. Volland enters the game and replaces L. Alario.
Leverkusen make their third and final substitution, with Alario coming off the pitch and he has been replaced by Volland.
79'
It's a lot more open now, with Juventus opening up the game and playing more freely now that they know they have the advantage. Leverkusen look short of ideas.
77'
That should be Leverkusen knocked out of the competition now, they need to score at least two goals and hope Atletico lose their two goal lead.

Description
75'
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by P. Dybala.
GOOOAAALLL! Juventus finally get the breakthrough goal and they lead 1-0! Dybala is played through on goal deep down the left and he squares the ball into the penalty area for Ronaldo, who was sprinting up alongside him and he just taps the ball in from a couple of yards out.
Dybala shows great quality to time the pass into the middle for Ronaldo, finally showing some quality with the pass in the final third.
73'
The pace of the game has certainly picked up in the last few minutes, but we're still lacking any goalmouth action at either end of the pitch.
69'
The main front three of Ronaldo, Higuain and Dybala are now on the pitch, can they open up this resilient Leverkusen defence?
67'
Almost! Hradecky gets to the ball just in time as a long lofted pass is played over the top of the Leverkusen defence, he punches it clear just before Ronaldo gets on the end of it.
66'
J. Baumgartlinger enters the game and replaces K. Demirbay.
L. Bailey enters the game and replaces K. Bellarabi.
P. Dybala enters the game and replaces F. Bernardeschi.
Leverkusen make a double substitution now, with Demirbay the first player coming off and he has been replaced by Baumgartlinger.
Juventus respond by making a substitution of their own and it's Bernardeschi coming off and he has been replaced by Dybala.
The second Leverkusen change sees Bellarabi replaced by Bailey.
63'
Lars Bender goes for goal from a tight angle and it takes a big deflection as it flies towards goal, but this takes the pace off the shot and Buffon makes a comfortable save.
61'
Still no signs of any changes for either team here, we're an hour in now and it remains 0-0 at the BayArena.
59'
It looks like Leverkusen are trying to break forward on the counter here, with Juve seeing more of the ball, but they aren't doing much with it in the final third.
57'
The chances of Leverkusen qualifying from the group have decreased further now, as Atletico are 2-0 up in the other game in Group D.
53'
Juventus are the side on top at the moment, keeping the ball well, but it's all in the middle of the pitch as Leverkusen are pressing high and not allowing them time and space.
50'
Good Juve counter! Bernardeschi breaks free down the right wing and he should look up and cross to Ronaldo, who was in so much space, but the winger doesn't look up and spot him. Ronaldo is furious with his team-mate.
48'
Another foul by Rabiot that doesn't get punished with a yellow card, it's a very late challenge on Bellarabi and he's certainly lucky not to be booked there.
46'
The second half is under way!
45'
HALF-TIME: BAYER LEVERKUSEN 0-0 JUVENTUS
43'
Despite needing to win this game, Leverkusen aren't really testing Juventus and they don't look close to scoring, with all of their efforts coming from long range, which are comfortable for Buffon.
41'
There's not too long left to play before the half-time whistle now, can either side break the deadlock before the end of the first half?
34'
Juventus aren't showing any urgency to go and attack here, slowing the pace down when in possession. They don't have to win here as they are already guaranteed top spot.
32'
Ronaldo feels like he is fouled in the middle of the Leverkusen half and wants a free-kick, but nothing is given and the striker isn't best pleased.
30'
As we pass the half an hour mark here at the BayArena, it remains goalless between Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus, with a few goalscoring chances for both teams, but it's the hosts who have gone the closest, by striking the post through Diaby.
28'
The other game in Group D is between Atletico Madrid and Lokomotiv Moscow, with the Spanish side leading 1-0, which means they will go through to the knockout stages alongside Juventus as it stands.
26'
Apart from the chance earlier on, Higuain and Ronaldo haven't been heavily involved for Juventus so far, with the visitors struggling to keep the ball for the large part.
21'
Not too far away! Ronaldo manages to find a little bit of space inside the box and drills a lot shot towards the far post, but Hradecky allows it to go wide. Just a few seconds later Cuadrado also goes close, but from the edge of the box instead.
19'
There is a cracking atmosphere here inside the BayArena, with the home supporters making a huge amount of noise and whistling every time Juventus get on the ball.
15'
Alario is the latest player to try and test Buffon, but his header is weak and the Juve keeper comfortably gathers to his left.
13'
The game has certainly livened up in the last five minutes or so, with Leverkusen the team on top at the moment and they look very strong in attack.
10'
Decent effort! Leverkusen pick up the pace of their attack and work it well into the penalty area, Juve clear the initial ball and it then falls to Demirbay on the edge of the box, but his volley flies just wide of Buffon's goal.
7'
Both teams are trying to play out from the back, despite the high press from both attackers, which is leading to a few mistakes in the final third. Pjanic tries to square the ball, but it gets cut out on the edge of the box, but luckily it flies out of play.
5'
Both teams are just trying to settle into possession at the moment, Juve are enjoying more of the ball in the middle of the pitch, but the likes of Higuain and Ronaldo are yet to get involved.
3'
Poor tackle! Rabiot is lucky to get away with just a warning for a high challenge on Havertz, his boot striking the mid-drift of the Leverkusen man.
2'
Good cross! The hosts get forward quickly down the right and Bellarabi whips a lovely low ball into the penalty area, but none of his team-mates are on the same wavelength and the chance goes away.
1'
