its gone to Vasco Da Gama from the boot of Rodrigo Souto and I must say they do deserve it, but with only a few moments left on the clock it looks all over here and its now

Gutted.

the whisltes have blown...

Nantes have won the Europa Cup having beaten Watford by 2 goals to 1, whilst Cosmos have demolished Yokohama 5-1 to win the Confederations Cup, and Vasco have won the Copa Libertadores, but extra time has to be played in the Champions Cup final between Schalke and Plymouth as its finished 3-3 there...

So lets cross to Rob Mclean for blow by blow commentary on extra time in the Champions Cup Final...

This game has been immense up until now and I hope it doesnt go to penalties. We have another 30 minutes to look forward to yet...

Schalke kickoff with Ronaldo and Muller working the ball forward...

Well it can't get much closer than this although another 30 mins with 10 men is gonna be one hell of a task!

but Cech saves well...

cech passes out to Vermaelen, then Essien, then Rooney, who slides the ball through to Robinho...

who goes round Leno and slides the ball into the empty net...would you believe it, Plymouth have nicked the lead and after 94 minutes its now

Schalke 3 Plymouth 4

hang on Ronaldo looks fired up here and cracks a brilliant shot into the far corner past Cech to level the scores again, and after 95 minutes its now

Schalke 4 Plymouth 4

Plymouth really havent got an answer to Ronaldo whilst they are taking full advantage of Schalke's young keeper. Which way will it go ...

Ireland is robbed by Xavi but cech makes a great save...

this time its Rooney who loses out to Schweinsteiger in the centre of midfield, the german powers forward and cracks a shot past Cech for another brilliant goal, Ive never seen so many great goals in one game before, its like everybody is on their top form atm, so after 98 minutes its now

Schalke 5 Plymouth 4

and Schalke do seem to be taking advantage of Plymouth's ten men now...

it might be hard for Plymouth to comeback again with only ten men...

I can't look blow the whistle ref

the german side is making a few subs now, with kroos coming on for the very impressive Schweinsteiger and Cassano is on for Mario Gomez...

Plymouth are bringing on their own sub, as Wilshere leaves to be replaced by Owen Hargreaves.

okay the subs are on and we're back underway, with Ireland again robbed by Xavi but it comes to nothing as the whistle blows for the teams to change ends...

with the score Schalke 5 Plymouth 4

we have another 15 minutes to go...

Rooney takes control of the ball from the kickoff and finds Anelka who gets it back to Rooney who fires a shot goalwards, but leno makes a good save.

That could have been crucial...

the corner comes over and Leno deals with that well too, punching it clear...

Picsczek looks to be timewasting here and gets warned by the ref, who has given Plymouth an indirect freekick...

There are Plymouth players jostling the wall, Rooney lines up a chip...

but Leno makes a fine save...

the young keeper is keeping his side in it here against the ten men atm...
