    Time:90'
    • Wisla Krakow
    • Tottenham Hotspur
    • 90+4' The final whistle goes, mercifully for Spurs fans, and they go through 3-2 on aggregate. Wisla Krakow can count themselves very unlucky, they had plenty of chances and a couple of penalty claims in the closing stages.
    • 90' Spurs are hanging on by the skin of their teeth as we move into added time. Four minutes are signalled.
    • 89' Brozek goes in for a header and Dawson is all over him.. no penalty! Wisla had a real claim for a spot-kick there, Dawson was almost wrapping himself around Brozek!
    • 88' Juande Ramos brigns on an extra defender as Dawson comes on for Lennon. If it goes to extra tiem then they could be in trouble.
    • 86' Wisla force a corner. It's headed out as far as CLEBER WHO VOLLEYS... Saved by Gomes but it breaks for BROZEK... Headed straight at the keeper on the floor! What a let-off for Tottenham!
    • 85' Darren Bent is down on the ground after taking a bang to the head. There are whistles from the crowd as he walks off for treatment.
    • 83' GOAL!! Tottenham are caught flat-footed again by a simple route one ball, that Pawel Brozek gets on to a knocks high over the onrushing Gomes and the ball drops into the net! Is extra time on the cards?
    • 80' Sobolewski digs out a shot from the edge of the box that hits Zokora on the hand... No penalty! It would have been harsh, as the Ivorian was lifting his arms to block his face, but they have been given before.
    • 80' Wisla have had a good spell of late as they realise they have to push for a goal. An inviting corner is sent in for BROZEK TO HEAD... Wonderful save by Gomes! he tipped the header on to the post!
    • 77' Luka Modric looks a bit unhappy as he is substituted for Tom Huddlestone.
    • 75' Lennon goes in on Junior Diaz and the Wisla striker is not happy! He squares up to Lennon and there is a little bout of pushing and shoving among several players. Lennon, Cleber and Zokora are booked.
    • 74' Aaron Lennon is played in on the left of the box and powers a good first-time ball across for BENT... Just over the striker's head!
    • 73' Jamie O'Hara will take a corner, and he plays it short. There is some miscommunication and a pass contrives to roll out for a goal kick.
    • 69' Darren Bent controls a long ball well. He twists Cleber inside out before working the space to SHOOT... Flashed wide of the far post! This game is finally seeing some action.
    • 68' Campbell goes off to be replaced by O'Hara.
    • 66' Zokora breaks forward with the ball now. He's got space in front of him down the left and he continues his run. He has Campbell following up in the middle but ZOKORA SHOOTS... The shot curls Just wide of the far top corner! Whenever Zokora gets his first Spurs goal, it's going to be a cracker!
    • 64' Cantoro fouls Lennon in midfield, but again Jenas wastes the set piece. The Spurs vice-captain, previously one of Tottenham's most consistent performers, has looked disinterested of late.
    • 61' Bale is booked for a foul on Baszczynski.
    • 60' Good pressure on the edge of the Spurs box by Wisla and it's teed up for SOBOLEWSKI... His low drive could have snuck in at the near post but Gomes is there.
    • 57' GOAL!! Spurs can rest a little easier now as they take the lead! Gareth Bale's inviting cross was bound for Campbell but it was turned past Pawelek by Arkadiusz Glowacki! Campbell is celebrating but it definitely went in off the defender.
    • 56' Zokora breaks forward with the ball and plays it through for Bent... far too late, Bent had been offside for a few seconds before the pass was made.
    • 55' Fraizer Campbell is working admirably hard, but there is no denying he looks a striker-shaped peg in a winger-shaped hole. He does well to cut a ball back towards MODRIC... Another low strike, but on target this time, saved by Pawelek at the near post.
    • 50' A Jenas free-kick is swung in for CAMPBELL... Fraizer Campbell takes the ball down and blasts a shot, butit's deflected for a corner. Spurs can't capitalise from the set piece.
    • 47' The Wisla fans are singing a song that sounds not too dissimilar to Chas and Dave's 'Ossie's Dream'!
    • 46' The second half is underway, and Spurs are 45 minutes away from the group stages. All they have to do is not concede and they will go through.
    • 45+2' Half time in Krakow and, as it stand, Spurs are going through, but they look far from convincing. If Wisla get their act together they have every chance of reaching the group stage.
    • 45+1' Wisla are buoyed by that chance and build again. Spurs can't clear a cross from the right and there's a scramble in the box. The ball falls to DIAZ... Junior Diaz got a shot off from the edge of the six-yard area but there was no power on it and Gomes smothers it. A heart-stopping end to the half for Spurs!
    • 45' A Wisla through ball is met by Sobolewski, and a deft first touch on the run sees him one-on-one with GOMES... SAVED!! Sobolewski went for palcement over power and Gomes saved with his feet!
    • 44' The corner is headed away but Zokora heads back in. Pawelek comes out and claims well as Campbell was under the ball with his back to goal.
    • 43' Jenas stands over a free-kick on the right-hand side. It's whipped in for KING... Glanced behind. The referee gives a corner! Not sure about that.
    • 41' A dangerous cross is whipped in from the left and Gomes stretches every inch of his 6ft3 frame to punch clear for a corner! The referee blows up for an infringement in the box and the danger goes.
    • 37' Wisla have a free-kick in midfield, and have sent men forward. Junior Diaz will SHOOT... Right through to wall but straight into the hands of Gomes.
    • 34' Jenas fires in a free-kick from distance that Pawelek catches with no problem. As the keeper goes to throw the ball out, Woodgate comes in and knocks his arm! The referee promptly books him. How did he expect to get away with that? Especially considering he got a yellow card for the same thing against Portsmouth last Sunday!
    • 29' A Wisla free-kick in midfield is played forward. It's nodded back to the edge of the box for BROZEK TO SHOOT... The volley is low and straight at Gomes. The Brazilian keeper gets down to collect easily, but he didn't look confident as he prepared to face the shot.
    • 27' Lennon goes bombing down the right wing and goes flying as Cleber comes steaming in... no foul! Lennon had to jump out of the way there!
    • 23' Cleared by Wisla and after some nice quick interchanges Wisla build an attack. It ultimately fizzles out.
    • 22' Spurs have been the more enterprising of the two sides. Plenty of whistles as Jenas comes over to take a corner. It's to King at the near post... headed behind for another corner.
    • 21' Modric gets the ball on the edge of the box and fances a STRIKE... The shot is low and tame and goes wide of the goal. About the best effort of the match so far for either side.
    • 18' Cleber plays a nicely weighted ball down the channel for Junior Diaz to chase. The Spurs back line put up their arms... The linesman leaves it a few seconds before putting his flag up!
    • 15' It's been an uncertain start from both sides after 15 minutes. Wisla look capable of breaking but don't want to concede first, while Tottenham are playing like a side low on confidence.
    • 9' Cleber heads away the initial corner but it's sent back in. The cross flies over everyone and Campbell gives chase and keeps it in, but his cross is caught by Pawelek.
    • 8' Bale's chipped ball down the left is picked up by Campbell, and his cross is headed behind for a corner.
    • 7' The Spurs defenders are flat-footed as Junior Diaz tries to stab a diagonal ball into the box but Brozek is offside.
    • 5' A marauding Lennon run is checked by Cantoro and Spurs have a free-kick in a central position about 35 yards from goal. Bale strikes it straight into the wall.
    • 2' A lot of noise reverberating around this ground, despite the fact that it is missing a stand behind one of the goals. The ground is being renovated due to its status as a reserve ground for Euro 2012.
    • 1' Spurs will get us underway here at the Wisla stadium!
    • 14:39 The players are out on the pitch on this lovely afternoon in Poland. Spurs are in their special European all-black kit. Make of that what you will.
    • 14:36 Tottenham: Gomes, Gunter, King, Woodgate, Bale, Lennon, Zokora, Jenas, Modric, Campbell, Bent. Subs: Cesar, Bentley, Huddlestone, Giovani, Dawson, O'Hara, Assou-Ekotto
    • 14:36 Wisla Krakow: Pawelek, Baszczynski, Glowacki, Cleber, Piotr Brozek, Boguski, Cantoro, Sobolewski, Diaz, Jirsak, Pawel Brozek. Subs: Juszczyk, Singlar, Guedes Filho, Zienczuk, Niedzielan, Lobodzinski, Barreto
    • 14:34 The big team news is that Frazier Campbell starts up front with Darren Bent for Spurs. Remember that Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko is cup-tied. Luka Modric also comes back into the side, while David Bentley will begin the afternoon on the bench.
    • 14:31 Spurs lead 2-1 after the first leg in London, but Wisla did enough at White Hart Lane to hint that it won't be easy for their visitors here. They way things have been going for Spurs, the home crowd will be hoping for big things when the action kicks off at the in-no-way crazy time of 14:40!
