Play by play
- 92'
The PSV players are heart-broken - and rightly so. Milan have robbed them here; they were sluggish and sloppy all night but stole a late goal to send them to Istanbul.
- 92'
FULL-TIME: So, so tough on PSV, who have been much the better side over the course of the two legs. They have dominated tonight and deserve to be in the final.
- 91'
PSV still need another goal, with Milan having scored that crucial away strike through Ambrosini. They push forward and only a desperate last-ditch tackle from Stam denies Park a chance to break in to the area.
- 90'
GOAL! An amazing finish! VoH flicks on a long ball and Cocu smashes a stunning volley past Dida.
- 89'
GOAL! Ambrosini comes up with the winner! Kaka breaks down the left and sends over a lovely cross which Ambrosini glances past Gomes.
- 88'
Great skill from Robert on the edge of the Milan area almost sees the subtitute dribble past two defenders. He's robbed at the crucial moment, however.
- 87'
The whistles start to ring out as Milan enjoy a short spell with the ball inside the PSV half.
- 86'
Gattuso curls the ball in, and PSV are forced to put the ball out for a corner. Pirlo sends the ball in to the middle, and Shevchenko heads wide of the far post.
- 85'
Gattuso is bundled over 40 yards out. Free-kick.
- 84'
Neither side are showing great urgency to win the match inside ninety minutes. PSV are the team with more desire, perhaps, with Milan seemingly set on ET.
- 83'
There are a lot of very tired players on the field at the moment, and with extra-time looming, it could be a mistake that settles the tie.
- 81'
Robert attempts to battle his way through Stam and Nesta. It's something of a mis-match and Dida collects the loose ball.
- 80'
Cafu and Tomasson combine down the right, but Cafu fouls his man. Three PSV players collapse to the turf through exhaustion and cramp, and the physio seems to have a hard time convincing them to get to their feet.
- 79'
Oooh! The corner comes in and Ambrosini, completely unmarked six yards out, plants his header low but straight at Gomes, who palms clear.
- 78'
Shevchenko holds the ball up on the left side of the penalty area. He tries to clip a ball in to the late-running Kaka, but Vogel puts the ball out for a corner.
- 77'
Tomasson lays the ball off to Ambrosini, but Lucius sticks out a boot and forces it out for a corner.
- 76'
The corner is half-cleared to Farfan, who strikes another ambitious shot. This time he drags his right-foot volley a couple of yards wide.
- 76'
Oooh! Farfan pounces on a loose ball and fires off a surprise shot from a tight angle. Dida is alert enough to get down to his left and palm wide.
- 75'
Tomasson is caught off-side as he chased down Kaladze's lofted ball over the top of Alex.
- 74'
Cocu floats the set-piece in to the Milan penalty area, where Alex and Bouma were waiting. Dida comes through the crowd to collect and ease the pressure.
- 73'
Cafu commits what seems to be his 15th foul of the evening, bringing down Park on the PSV left.
- 72'
Gomes hasn't had a single save to make tonight; Milan haven't tested him at all.
- 71'
The atmosphere is very tense inside the stadium now. It's as if the PSV fans can't quite belive what they're seeing.
- 70'
Twenty minutes to go: another goal will be decisive, either way? But which way will it go? Stay here and find out.
- 69'
SUB: Bouma off, Robert on. A very positive substitution from Hiddink; Robert is a lively young forward, replacing centre-back Bouma. They seem to have gone 3-4-3.
