  1. FULL-TIME

    It's penalties. West Germany or England have five kicks to decide who will meet Argentina in the 1990 World Cup final.

  2. Trevor Brooking
    Former England midfielder

    "The palpations were coming on there, Shilton beaten but saved by the post and Klinsmann twice threatening for Germany. With a minute or two to go is there going to be something dramatic or is it going to be the nail-biter itself?"

  3. It looks like England are going to have their first ever penalty shootout people. A new dawn...

  4. World Cup Grandstand commentator John Motson in Turin

    "You wouldn't want it settled on penalties.

    "You certainly wouldn't want to lose it on penalties..."

  5. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Dear oh dear! West Germany have now hit the post! Right at the end!

    Guido Buchwald bends a lovely shot in from 20 yards, it arcs past Peter Shilton and thumps the woodwork...

  6. Jurgen Klinsmann is almost in but it seems that you really will never beat Des Walker...

    Grundy: Bobby Robson, if you can hear me, Waddle is looking nervous. Don't let him take a penalty.

  8. CLOSE!

    He got hold of that one! Andreas Brehme cuts inside on to his right foot and laces the ball over the top. That would have taken Peter Shilton's head off.

  9. Trevor Brooking
    Former England midfielder

    "It is very hard to pick out individuals, everyone has lifted their game for this magnificent occasion, there really hasn't been a weakness throughout the England side. David Platt did leave it until the last moment to score against Belgium but as the minutes tick away you wonder if either team is going to get ahead."

  10. Chris Waddle is a broken man. Nearly two hours of the most intense match you can imagine as a professional sportsman.

  11. Trevor Brooking
    Former England midfielder

    "Paul Gascoigne needs to be careful having a go at the ref there - but I don't think he understands Geordie..."

  12. Seven minutes remain. It's sudden death stuff now. Next goal wins, park rules.

  13. CATCH UP

    If you've missed any of the key points, you can see highlights in the highlights tab at the top of the screen.

  14. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Into the net! But no! David Platt buries a header but he was offside and I can peel myself off the ceiling.

    Bobby Robson could still make another two subs if he wishes. There are a lot of tired men out there.

  15. YELLOW CARD

    I don't know about you, but I'm a spent force just watching this. Paul Gascoigne is then flattened by a shocking tackle from Andreas Brehme, who cleans him out from behind!

    He's got to send him off! No, yellow card.

    John: So close so close Waddle, it's not good seeing this again, it still hurts.

    Nathan: Waddle! The post! Kills me every time.

    Blake: Just shouted at Waddle hitting the post as if it was happening now.

  17. Trevor Brooking
    Former England midfielder

    "Chris Waddle's shot came back off the post like a rocket, nobody could even get near it. I can't believe it, that would have given everyone a lift just before the break. A beautiful strike and the Germany keeper Bodo Ilgner could not get near it."

  18. Chris Waddle pings another shot wide. Bobby Robson is prowling the touchline encouraging his men, who have given it their all tonight. Heroes to a man.

  19. World Cup Grandstand commentator John Motson in Turin

    "The rebound off the post just beat David Platt. The referee has brought the first half of extra time to a close while we all catch our breath. I thought he was going to lay it across the box but did better than that."

  20. Quick turnaround - and they are back up and playing again.
