    Time:120'
    • Guimaraes
    • Portsmouth
    • 120' It's scrappy again at the end from the Portsmouth defence as Guimaraes continue to look for that consolation goal but Pompey just about hold firm and there is the final whistle that signals the English side's entrance into the group stages of the UEFA Cup
    • 119' Douglas puts in a good run down the left and almost snatches a consolation goal for Guimaraes but James gets in the way. Guimaraes have a corner though
    • 115' Guimaraes are beginning to look like they just want the whistle to be blown now as Portsmouth continue to run them all round the pitch. Just five minutes remaining though and Portsmouth will be through to the UEFA Cup group stages for the first time ever
    • 110' GOAL PORTSMOUTH! Balhadj makes a brilliant run down the centre of the pitch before finding an unmarked Crouch on the edge of the area to his right. Crouch then slams the ball home with his second touch going into the top of the net comfortably beating Nilson
    • 106' After a quick turn around and we are back underway for the second half of extra time, with Younes Kaboul coming on to replace Jermain Defoe
    • 105' The whistle goes to signal the end of the first half of extra time and Portsmouth are in a strong position now
    • 104' GOAL PORTSMOUTH! Peter Crouch finally gets the goal that should see Pompey through to the group stages heading home after a Johnson cross. Guimaraes now need two goals, one would still see Portsmouth goal through on away goals.
    • 103' Flavio thinks he has put Guimaraes into the lead tapping home after Douglas sends the ball across the goal-mouth. But the offside flag was up and the goal is dis-allowed
    • 102' David James has just kept Portsmouth in the UEFA Cup! Joao Alves found himself with time on the ball inside the area after Jean Coral had put in a great cross. James stretching out to his right turns the ball away
    • 101' Defoe races down the centre of the pitch before letting a shot go just to the left of the goal. But he hits the side netting in the end with only the keeper to beat
    • 97 Portsmouth are still looking decidedly ropey at the back as Fajardo receives the ball in acres of space and almost catches James napping
    • 94' Danilo earns Guimaraes an early corner ... but Portsmouth clear the danger before Desmarets gives away a free kick allowing James to boot the ball upfield
    • 91' Everton get extra time underway ...
    • 90+2 There is the whistle to signal the end of normal time and sure enough we are heading to extra time, with the scores standing at 2-2 on aggregate
    • 89' We're into the last 90 seconds of normal time and unless some extraordinary, and completely out of the blue, happens this match is going to extra time. And quite probably penalties!
    • 86' Traore tries a desperate shot from distance and Nilson collects, although not that comfortable. Defoe though was in acres of space in the centre of the pitch and would have had a golden opportunity to send Portsmouth through had Traore seen him
    • 84' Johnson with a chance, albeit a crowded one, just on the edge of the area but he lifts the ball up over the crossbar
    • 81' Traore does well again on the left wing and floats the ball into the area where Crouch is waiting. Unsurprisingly Crouch gets up to the ball but his header is a weak one and it is easily collected by Nilson
    • 79' Guimaraes are making substitutions all over the place now as they prepare for extra time. Fajardo is the latest player to come on, in place of Amaral
    • 76' Guimaraes now have themselves a free kick, again from just over 30m out, but this time goal-scorer Joao Alves fires the ball straight at James who collects it at the second attempt unchallenged
    • 75' An interesting substitution from Guimaraes as they take off substitute Carlitos, who picked up a knock after a clash with Distin, and replace him with Jean Coral
    • 73' Defoe with a free-kick just over 30m out after Danilo receives a yellow card for a poor challenge ... but he fires the ball smack into the wall and it fails to make it into the box
    • 71' Portsmouth are looking incredibly dodgy at the back as they only just get themselves out of trouble after failing to let James collect what should be an easy ball
    • 69' Guimaraes are beginning to look more nervous now which should be encouraging to Portsmouth. But Pompey still aren't showing any signs of looking particularly threatning and as it stands, with 20 minutes remaining, we are heading to extra time with the aggregate score at 2-2
    • 65' Traore makes a great run down the left wing but his final ball is a poor one in the area and Guimaraes clear without looking troubled
    • 61' Douglas is still proving troublesome for Portsmouth, despite the much more even start to the second half, as he fires a low shot towards the bottom left hand corner of the net. James is quicker to react this time though and gets down to the save
    • 54' Much better from Portsmouth but Johnson's defence-splitting pass is wasted as Defoe is flagged well offside
    • 52' Crouch on the left attempts to play the ball across the goal mouth to where Johnson is waiting unmarked to tap the ball into the back of the goal ... but the former Liverpool man's touch is poor and he sends the ball straight into the hands of Nilson
    • 46' The action is back underway again in Portugal ...
    • 45' There is the half-time whistle and Redknapp will probably have some harsh words for his boys after such a lacklustre first 45 minutes!
    • 45' Much better from Johnson as he opens up some space for himself on the edge of the area before letting off a shot. Nilson has to dive across his goal and just turns it behind for a corner but he needed to be at full stretch to do so
    • 43' Roberto gets a neat ball into the far post from the left wing but Douglas, unmarked yet again, cannot quite get high enough for the header. Another lucky escape for Portsmouth there
    • 41' Johnson whips the free kick into the area from the right wing but Guimaraes clear comfortably
    • 40' Flavio recieves a yellow card for a poor challenge on Johnson and Pompey here will have their first real chance to get themselves back into this game
    • 36' A nice little chip back into the box by Defoe with the outside of his foot and his back to the goal but he is too close to the goal-line and Nilson has no trouble in collecting
    • 34' Joao Alves unleashes another shot from distance, this time on his left foot, as he spots James covering his right post. The ball drifts just wide of the left post but it is nervous times for Pompey and they are looking very shaky at the back
    • 32' GOAL GUIMARAES! Joao Alves gets Guimaraes right back in this match as he fires his free kick into the bottom left hand corner of the net. The was calamitous by Portsmouth as the wall broke allowing the ball through before Peter Crouch let the ball go through his legs and David James failed to move at all, just watching as the ball dribbled into the back of the net
    • 30' Diarra gives away a soft free kick 45 yards out ...
    • 28' Or not! The corner is whipped in to the edge of the area and Guimaraes manage to clear the danger without too much trouble
    • 27' Flavio comes up with a great flying header to deny Crouch a chance on goal on the left. But the Guimaraes player gives away a corner and Portsmouth might finally be waking up ...
    • 24' Danilo unleashes a bullet of a shot from 35 yards out but the ball whizzes just over the crossbar ... luckily for James who was slow to react
    • 22' Guimaraes continue to keep Portsmouth pinned back in their own half as they earn themselves another corner ... this time though Distin manages to clear the danger
    • 19' GOAL GUIMARAES! Douglas get Guimaraes off the mark as he finds acres of space in the area after Amaral headed down into his path
    • 18' Danilo comes flying in at the far post in a bid ro connect with a corner kick for Guimaraes and James was nowhere near it. The ball takes a deflection and goes out for a corner
    • 10' Portsmouth are sitting back at the moment failing to put much pressure on Guimaraes in the midfield, allowing them plenty of time on the ball
    • 5' A nervy opening from Portsmouth despite their 2-0 aggregate lead from the first leg
    • 1' We are underway in Portugal ...
    • 21:15 Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of Portsmouth's UEFA Cup clash with Guimaraes. Pompey lead 2-0 on aggregate
