Remarkably, despite an incredibly poor performance, Juventus will top Group H after a late equaliser from Zenit in Russia. Their 3-3 draw with Chelsea means Zenit top the standings, and they need to learn their lessons if they want to progress any further in the competition. In their defence, it is a good sign that they can play so poorly and still get the job done, but they wasted numerous chances to add to Kean's goal. The powerful forward scored the game's only goal when he headed home Bernardeschi's cross in the first half. He was then denied on two occasions by Malmo goalkeeper Diawara, who also thwarted Rabiot and Morata inside the 90 minutes.
Juventus' confidence in the final third looks totally shot, but they have the players to cause other teams problems. If Allegri can strengthen his squad in January, they may progress into the next round of the competition, but other teams will not fear them after a display like that. Malmo were already out of the Champions League, and they will look to learn their lessons and try to return next season.
That is all for tonight folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!

FULL-TIME - JUVENTUS 1-0 MALMO.20:37
90'+3'
If any scouts are watching tonight, they will not have made many notes. A night to forget from both teams in front of goal, but it looks like Kean's goal will be enough for Juventus this evening. 20:37
90'+2'
Bad news for Juventus as Chelsea have scored a third, meaning they will top the group if they can hold onto their 3-2 lead over Zenit.20:36
90'+1'
Four minutes of stoppage time to come...20:34
90'
Allegri makes another change in midfield as Bentancur is replaced by Miretti.00:06
90'
Rabiot is the latest player to be booked for a poorly-timed challenge.20:34
90'
Juventus goalscorer Kean makes way for Da Graca.20:34
89'
Innocent has struggled with an injury in the last few minutes, with Nalic now on in his place.20:33
85'
WHAT A WASTE! Juve squander another chance to score as Cuadrado blazed his shot into the stands, ruining Morata's work in the process. 20:31
83'
DOUBLE SAVE!!! Diawara denies Kean yet again, and it really should be 2-0 to the home side. Rabiot's stinging drive was fumbled by the Malmo keeper, allowing Kean to run into the box at speed. He looked destined to score, but Diawara charged off his line to concede a corner!20:25
82'
Allegri adds some pace into his midfield as Bernardeschi makes way for Cuadrado.20:24
80'
Substitute Pena is shown a yellow card after he fails to win the ball when challenging Morata from behind.20:23
78'
Colak has barely touched the ball for Malmo, and Abubakari is now given a chance to impress for the final 12 minutes of normal time.20:23
72'
De Winter, who was making his first senior start for Juventus, is replaced by De Sciglio.20:15
71'
CHANCE! Juventus go close on two occasions, but they fail to double their lead. Bernardeschi started the move, as his left-footed strike forced Diawara into a save. The Malmo keeper pushed the shot to his left, allowing Kean to fire home the rebound, but he put too much power behind his strike and blazed the ball over the bar. 20:15
70'
Juventus are not dominating like they were in the first half, but they seem to have the tools to put the game to bed. That will frustrate Allegri, because his team could have made this game so much easier for themselves. 20:13
68'
Innocent has made one or two strong challenges in the second half, but his latest tackle gets him into trouble as he catches Bentancur on the top of his foot, and he is shown a yellow card as a result.04:07
67'
Chelsea have now scored an equaliser against Zenit, with Romelu Lukaku drawing them level. However, that is still not enough to dislodge Juventus from top spot in Group H.20:09
65'
SAVE! Diawara comes to Malmo's aid with a smart save as he thwarts Kean at his near post. The Juventus strike put plenty of pace behind his shot, but Diawara's reactions were inch-perfect. 20:08
63'
Malmo registers their first shot on target, but Colak's strike was far too tame to trouble Perin who made a routine save. Still, it is a sign of improvement!20:07
61'
Bonucci has had a drink and he is now back on the pitch!20:22
60'
The game comes to a halt as Bonucci takes a shot to the face. The physios are now tending to him inside the Juventus box. 20:05
58'
SIDE-NETTING! Rabiot is the latest Juventus player to try his luck, but the midfielder sees his left-footed strike hit the side of the goal. 20:02
57'
OVER! Juventus' latest corner helps them create another shooting opportunity, but Bernardeschi wastes the chance as he curls his shot over the crossbar.20:01
55'
Juventus have won each of their last five home games in the Champions League, and they will extend that record to six unless Malmo can dramatically improve their performance.20:05
53'
We haven't had a great deal of action so far in this second half, but both teams are not giving an inch, with some strong challenges going in from both sides. 19:57
51'
Christiansen is OK to continue, which is a relief for Malmo.19:53
50'
Christiansen goes down injured after a strong challenge from Bentancur, but the referee fails to show a yellow card. 19:53
49'
Colak picks up the first yellow card of the game after a late challenge off the ball. 19:51
46'
We are back underway in Turin! 19:47
46'
One change at the break for Juventus as Morata replaces Dybala!19:59
Malmo's tactics may have had to change after Rakip was forced off with an injury, but they still need to improve in the second half. Despite being below par, Juventus are currently going to top the group, but Malmo can still get something from this game if Juve does not get into second gear. 19:47
Kean's 18th-minute header is the difference between the two sides as the half-time whistle sounds. Bernardeschi's delightful cross allowed Kean to head home with ease, but Allegri's men have not done enough to kick on from there. Malmo have not exactly caused any problems for Perin, but it would be great to see Juventus try to assert themselves a little more in the second 45 minutes.19:41
45'+2'
HALF-TIME - JUVENTUS 1-0 MALMO.19:35
45'+1'
WIDE! Juventus end the half with a spring in their step as Arthur nearly converts a fine counter-attacking chance, only to see his shot sail past the near post. Kean did well to hold up possession before realising his pass, but Arthur couldn't apply the finishing touch. 19:35
45'
One minute of stoppage time to come...19:31
42'
Advantage Juventus!! Chelsea are now losing 2-1 to Zenit, meaning the Old Lady would finish on top of Group H. 19:28
40'
Juventus' crowd seem a little bored by their team's performance, but Allegri has something to work on at half-time, thanks to Kean's first-half header. 19:29
38'
It has taken them the majority of the first half, but Malmo are now starting to unsettle Juventus near the halfway line, and Allegri's side have lost control of the contest. 19:26
35'
Innocent wastes a good chance to test Perin in the Juventus goal, blasting his shot out for a throw-in from the edge of the box. The less said about that shot, the better. 19:21
33'
OK, that was a false alarm and not worth waiting for. Juventus cleared the danger at the first attempt, but the Swedish outfit will hopefully find confidence from that foray forward. 19:20
31'
We are over 30 minutes into this match, and Malmo have just won their first corner. Hopefully a sign of things to come!19:19
30'
Rakip's night is over and it will be Pena that replaces him in Turin. 19:16
27'
This has become a tough watch in the last few minutes, with Juventus looking lazy while on the ball. The majority of their forwards are a little too static, and their tactics are playing into Malmo's hands. 19:17
25'
Rakip, who recovered from an injury to start tonight, appears to be struggling on the right-hand side of Malmo's midfield. 19:16
23'
Despite conceding, Malmo are yet to lift the tempo while trying to dispossess Juventus and Allegri's team look in total control. 19:10
21'
This season, Malmo ranks 32nd out of 32 teams in the UEFA Champions League for shots per game, with the Swedish side averaging six in each fixture. After the first 21 minutes, that looks like a trend that should continue.19:07
18'
Juventus' pressure finally proves too much, and it is no surprise with crosses like that from Bernardeschi. That was a beauty, and it made Kean's life much easier. 19:05
18'
GOAAALLL - JUVENTUS 1-0 MALMO - The deadlock is finally broken as Kean heads his side into the lead from inside the six-yard box. Bernardeschi's cross with the outside of his left boot was exquisite, and Kean did the rest, heading past Diawara from close range.
Juve's midfield are still in total control at present, but at least Malmo are making life difficult on the edge of their own box. 19:01
13'
Colak looks like a lonely figure in Malmo's attack, with the rest of his team-mates sitting far too deep. Malmo coach, Jon Dahl Tomasson, seems to be urging his side to push up, but at the moment, they are reluctant to do so.19:01
10'
Malmo are still struggling to get a touch of the ball, and this game has been a classic example of attack versus defence so far.18:58
8'
While they have yet to break the deadlock, Juventus have made a strong start in front of their own supporters, and they look like the team who will open the scoring so far. 18:55
7'
WIDE! Juventus nearly score two goals inside two minutes. Diawara saved Bernardeschi's low strike, but the better chance fell to Kean. The former Everton frontman found space on the edge of the box, but his right-footed strike hit the side netting. 18:52
4'
Not ideal news for Juventus, Chelsea are already leading against Zenit. 18:50
3'
CHANCE! Juventus create an early opportunity to score after winning a corner. Rugani managed to break free at the far post, but his downward header fell straight to Diawara. 18:48
1'
We are underway in Turin!18:45
Juventus have a 100 per cent record against Malmo in European competition, winning all three of their previous meetings and keeping a clean sheet in all three games.18:37
Allegri has made wholesale changes to his starting XI, with only Bentancur, Bernardeschi and Dybala keeping their spot from the 2-0 win over Genoa. Malmo pair Jonas Knudsen and Ola Toivonen miss out through injury, but Christiansen and Rakip have recovered from their injury issues to start.18:49
SUBS: Sergio Pena, Franz Brorsson, Sebastian Nanasi, Eric Larsson, Johan Dahlin, Malik Abubakari, Melker Ellborg, Adi Nalic, Peter Gwargis.18:36
MALMO (4-4-2): Ismael Diarra Diawara; Niklas Moisander, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Lasse Nielsen, Martin Olsson; Jo Inge Berget, Anders Christiansen, Bonke Innocent, Erdal Rakip; Veljko Birmancevic, Antonio-Mirko Colak.18:36
SUBS: Manuel Locatelli, Mattia De Sciglio, Wojciech Szczesny, Fabio Miretti, Alvaro Morata, Giorgio Chiellini, Carlo Pinsoglio, Cosimo Marco Da Graca, Matthijs de Ligt, Juan Cuadrado.18:34
JUVENTUS (3-4-1-2): Mattia Perin; Daniele Rugani, Leonardo Bonucci, Koni de Winter; Arthur, Federico Bernardeschi, Rodrigo Bentancur, Adrien Rabiot, Alex Sandro; Paulo Dybala, Moise Kean.18:33
The Old Lady have struggled with consistency this season, but Massimiliano Allegri will hope his team have turned a corner. Juventus have won their previous two Serie A games 2-0, while they have won three in four at home. Malmo are unbeaten in five matches, but they have struggled in Europe, losing four of their first five games in Group H.18:27
Even though they are out of the competition, Malmo still have something to play for during their trip to Turin. The Swedish site will be trying to cause an upset while claiming their first Champions League win since October 2015.18:25
Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of the Champions League encounter between Juventus and Malmo. The Italian giants are already through to the knockout stage of the competition, but they need to better Chelsea's result, with the Blues facing Zenit St Petersburg tonight. 18:15
