- 78' DEMPSEY!! He's unmarked in the box, heads it!! That's a good save by Chimenti!!
- 76' Great work by Davies to win the ball for Fulham. Goes down, the ref plays advantage, but the move is wasted as Baird's ball goes astray.

- 66' Etuhu is back on for Fulham.

- 63' And Clint Dempsey looks set to come on soon.

- 56' Diego finds Trezeguet!! Shoots!! But that lacks the power to trouble Schwarzer and the Fulham keeper gathers it in.

- 54' Sissoko with the foul. Free kick delivered by Konchesky. Duff tries to control it but that's gone out for a Juve throw.
- 53' That's probably a wise decision before Camoranesi earned himself a red card!
- 52' Sub for Juve. Camoranesi is off and on comes Paolo De Ceglie.

- 44' And Fulham again come forward. Kelly on the right and he's won a corner!

- 42' Juve win a free kick and it'a the Italians who are desperately looking for a few seconds of relief!!
- 41' Baird now with the strike!! That's well wide of the post but Fulham are rampant!!
- 40' GOAL FULHAM!! GERA BREAKS THROUGH!! No one can say that hasn't been coming!! Great play by Zamora, flicks the ball to Davies, he guides the ball across the box and Gera finishes from close range!! 2-1 Fulham!!
- 39' ETUHU!! Heads against the post from some five yards out!!
- 38' DAVIES WITH THE FREE KICK!! Hits the bar with Chimenti nowhere!! Not sure if that was a goal attempt but that was so close!!

- 36' Appeals now from Juve for a free kick. Again the ref ignores it.
- 36' But Zamora is penalised now and Chimenti will launch it forward.

- 30' There's 15 minutes left in a first half that has raced by - and Fulham are causing the illustrious Italians all sorts of problems!
- 29' And just before that free kick, Antonia Candreva was sacrificed for Zdenek Grygera.

- 28' And after all the fuss has died down Fulham have a free kick just outside the 18 yard box and central!

- 25' Diego now for Juve. Finds Sissoko on the opposite flank. Salihamidzic now, but there's no way through for Juve as the final ball goes astray.
- 24' Good play down the Fulham flank by Juve, that's a foul on Camoranesi by Davies.
- 23' And that's a hopeful Juve ball over the Fulham backline. There's no one there and Schwarzer will clear.
- 22' Good counter by Juve, but that's broken up by Hangeland.
- 21' That's wasted and Fulham come forward. Gera finds Davies. Looks for Zamora at the far post and that's just too long!

- 20' Howls of derision from the Fulham faithful as a Juve pass flies into touch.
- 19' In it comes, Hangeland tries to make the header, can't make it, but there were three Juve defenders wrestling Zamora in the box! How can the ref and the assistants not spot that?

- 2' Juve have a free kick in the centre circle. Played short. Mohamed Sissoko finds Mauro Camoransei, to David Trezeguet..
- 1' This is a tinier ground than Juve are normally used to. Will that make a difference?
- 1' That's immediately thumped clear by the Juve defence, all the way through to Mark Schwarzer.

after watching fulham for 60 years this has to be the best result in all that time,im so proud of those lads,and of course there boss,who has done so much for the club,keep up the good work all of you,and thanks for the memories you have given me over the last couple of years. John of Andover
Well done fulham!!! From a tottenham fan. But u r gona lose to us in the FA Cup replay!!!
Well done to Fulham but in all honesty it could be short lived, Milan will always be Milan and juventus will always be Juventus, you can not take away their name and history. If Fulham start doing well like winning their league and cups and in Europe then it is a start of something, but no team in any history of a competition wins every year but some more than others.
Fulham, I am so proud of you!!!!
Well done Fulham keep it up hope you go all the way From a Villa fan
Well done Fulham!!! I don't understand why Juve/serie a fans are acting the way they are on here. It's disapointing and disgusting.
Fulham out played and out classed them the whole game...
Take your loss like big kids, brush yourselves off, and get back on your feet instead of acting like ignorant morons.
well done Fulham..
Milan and Juve..look towards yourselves, what happen to yours..now, only inter can give fight.
Hats off to Fulham for a fantastic performance.
Good luck with the draw.
From a Man Utd fan.
walaowei fulham to enter semi final alongside valencia, liverpool, and atheltico madrid.

i hate man u fans, they feel as though, if Fulham can trash a good italian side like juve, then they must be EVEN BETTER then any other team, because they themselves have just beaten Fulham 3-0, well fottball is never that straight forward, i wouldnt be surprised if teams like Leon or Bordeoux eliminate Man U from the CL instead!
