Play by play

So, PSV triumph on penalties. Beasley misses for the home side, but misses from Abidal and Essien mean the Dutch side go through, to meet probably AC Milan.

PEn 7: Beasley scuffs a penalty straight at the keeper. Dreadful. Nerves got the better of him. He's consoled by his team-mates, though they are probably cursing him under their breath. PSV 3-2 Lyon.

Penalties are the new rock and roll. Except without the drugs, attractive groupies, mental breakdowns, trashed hotel rooms, public affection, ability to change the world and Bob Dylan.
- 120'
FULL TIME EXTRA TIME: Penalties! Penalties! Penalties! Stay here with me, and prepare to wet your pants with excitement.
- 119'
Both sides have defended very well tonight. PSV in the second half, especially; Alex and Bouma started badly with a number of mistakes, but have been massive since the break.
- 118'
Lyon win some ball deep in PSV territory, but they attempt to be a little too clever and, instead of shooting from just outside the area, attempt to work a better chance. They fail, and PSV break.
- 117'
Both sets of players will now be turning their thoughts to whether they will be asked to take a penalty. Would you? I wouldn't, I can tell you that right now.
- 116'
PSV win a corner, but Lyon hold strong and head clear.
- 115'
If the tension inside the stadium here could be likened to the size of a dog, with Great Dane being "Very tense" and poodle being "Not very tense", I'd certainly equate it somewhere close to a Sheep Dog. Does that help paint a picture?
- 114'
Essien knocks a couple of million pounds off his summer transfer value as he slices a left-foot shot from 30 yards so badly that it goes out for a throw-in. But let's not be mean - the ball probably took a bobble.
- 112'
Park requires treatmet after getting a forearm in the face from Essien. Nothing deliberate, obviously. There's a lot of love in Eindhoven, despite the tension.
- 111'
Van Bommel brings down Juninho in a dangerous area. The Brazilian, anonymous all game, attempts to cheekily curl a chip over Gomes, but his effort drifts a yard or so over the bar.
- 110'
Park skills his way in to the area and flicks a ball through to Beasley, but the American is out-muscled six yards out.
- 109'
Oooh! After some delay in getting the wall 10 yards away from the ball, Van Bommel curls a right-foot drive narrowly wide of the far post.
- 108'
Van Bommel wins a free-kick just outside the area after being fouled by Reveillere. The PSV skipper stands over the ball, looking mean and moody.
- 108'
Park tricks his man on the edge of the area and cracks a low right-foot shot just wide of the post. My commentator's eye saw the defelction off Cacapa's head. Corner.
- 107'
Beasley cuts in from the left wing and his right-foot shot is blocked. The ball eventually finds Park in the box. He prods to Cocu, but the veteran's effort is weak and straight at Coupet.
