    • 105' HT in ET.
    • 104' Bannan's cross is deflected behind for a corner.

    • 98' Chiellini is booked for a late challenge.
    • 97' Villa having the lions' share of play at the moment in extra time.
    • 94' Reo-Coker drives at the heart of Juve's defence with a powerful run which wins his side a corner.
    • 91' Extra time gets underway. Herd has replaced Carew for Villa. Amauri on for Giovinco for Juve.

    • 90'+2 Zebina skies a chance at the death as Juve almost snatch it.
    • 90' Two minutes of added time. Del Piero replaced Camoranesi.
    • 90' Del Piero finally makes his entrance from the bench. He whips a free-kick over the bar with his first touch...

    • 73' Carew is flagged offside as Young whips in a delivery.
    • 72' Great save with the legs from Guzan as he denies Trezeguet with a double save! Cuellar was culpable there following some terrible defending.
    • 70' Thankfully Davies is back on and running it off. O'Neill must've been trimming his fingernails at a fair rate there...
    • 69' Oh dear. This looks like an injury worry for Curtis Davies. He's down inside Villa's area, and is receiving some treatment.
    • 68' Melo feeds Iaquinta but the striker slices a chance over the bar! Juve are starting to stretch Villa.
    • 67' Iaquinta rises to meet a cross but heads well off target. Albrighton almost teed Sidwell up just before.
    • 65' Del Piero is warming up for Juve...
    • 63' Trezeguet! From six yards the Frenchman slams the ball over the bar after a cutback almost provides the game's opening goal. Horrible miss, and he can't believe it.

    • 47' Guzan gathers up an early Camoranesi cross. Villa go up the other end and win a corner.
    • 46' Second half is underway...
    • 45' HT. 0-0 at the interval in Spain, and Villa have piled on the pressure in the latter stages of the half.
    • 44' Chance at the other end but Molinaro heads over for Juve!
    • 43' Young creates a chance for Carew but the striker heads over! Villa have been raining down the opportunities in the lead-up to half time.
    • 41' Now Albrighton is denied by Buffon! The youngster fires off a great shot inside the area but Buffon is on form!
    • 38' Carew rasps a low free-kick towards goal but Buffon is equal to it! Powerful effort from the Villa man, but the Juve keeper was just as sharp.
    • 36' Albrighton shows some class to provide Carew with a chance but the striker just can't make it. Lovely play.
    • 33' Young whips one in for Carew to attack, but the big Norwegian can't get on the end of it.
    • 30' Iaquinta heads just wide for Juve as Camoranesi drops the ball onto his head with a neat cross! Chances at either end are starting to flow...
    • 29' Carew sets Young up with a nice through ball but Buffon manages to deny the winger's shot.
    • 28' Ashley Young dupes Melo into a rash challenge as he takes the ball forward and forces the midfielder to foul him.
    • 27' Ashley Young is profligate with a free-kick. Juve come back with a surge up the other end. Camoranesi delivers a free-kick in but Carlos Cuellar deals with it.
    • 25' Curtis Davies has looked relatively supple, no sign of his shoulder injury playing up yet. That'll be encouraging for Martin O'Neill.
    • 22' Reo-Coker wins a battle of muscle with Camoranesi. The Villa man has been busy so far, and he's looked pretty sharp with it. Ashley Young wasted a corner for Villa moments earlier.
    • 20' Camoranesi causes a few problems with a decent ball dinked over the top which Iaquinta latches onto. Nothing comes of it, but it's more positive play from the Bianconeri.
    • 17' Almost 20 minutes in and Juve have looked the stronger so far.
    • 12' Ooooh! That's close for Felipe Melo, who flashes a shot from all of 25 yards wide of Brad Guzan's goal. Wonder if Arsene Wenger's watching and wishing he'd actually got the midfielder for Arsenal.
    • 7' Ashley Young's turn to warm Gigi Buffon's palms as he works his way in off the left and picks off a shot that the Italian keeper gets his body behind.
    • 5' No real drama as yet. Marchisio's tried to find his range with a drive from 20-odd yards but it was always flying over.
    • 1' Kick off, and we're underway. Juve's line-up: Buffon; Chiellini, Zebina, Molinaro, Legrottaglie; Marchisio, Melo, Camoranesi, Giovinco; Trezeguet, Iaquinta. Subs: Chimenti, Manninger, Cannavaro, Zanetti, Salihamidzic, Del Piero, Amauri, Grygera, Ariaudo, Mendes, Marrone, Immobile.
    • - Team line-ups are in and it's a big evening for Austrian youngster Andrea Weimann, who replaces Emile Heskey up front. Aston Villa: Guzan; Lichaj, Cuellar, Davies, Shorey; Albrighton, Reo-Coker, Sidwell, Young; Weimann, Carew. Subs: Parish, Bannan, Herd, Lowry, Hofbauer, Collins, C Gardner.
