  1. We're in stoppage time now. Restless home fans are whistling.

  2. INJURY TIME

    Northern Ireland have the ball in the corner, Martin O'Neill was doing keepy-ups. We're in injury time.

    Anonymous: Great to see the second half of the match. I was sat on the stairs too scared to watch in 1982!

  4. Two minutes until stoppage time. We won't know how much injury time there is as referees don't have to tell you back here in the 1980s...

    Jose Antonio Camacho shoots but it's straight at Pat Jennings.

    BBC commentator at Estadio Luis Casanova

    "When you think how poor Northern Ireland were in qualifying, how well have they risen to the occasion here. If only they could hang on it would cause the biggest shock among the second round qualifiers. Nobody thought they would make it through, except perhaps the Irish themselves and their belief has come through so strongly."

  6. Martin O'Neill runs forward - this is Northern Ireland's first break in what feels like a lifetime. A couple of team-mates come up to support him but he gets his pass wrong. He's exhausted, they all are. This had been an immense team performance.

    If Spain draw, lots will decide if Northern Ireland or Yugoslavia qualify by the way.

  7. Jose Alesanco heads wide from a corner. Four minutes left.

  8. Juanito bursts into the box but Martin O'Neill tackles him and it's a corner which comes to nothing. Five minutes to go.

    Adam: Heart in mouth moment! We've somehow survived that one.

    Brian: Slightly crazy keeping from Jennings just then!

  10. A feint rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' coming from the Northern Ireland fans now. A delighted pocket of fans in a massively unhappy stadium.

  11. Jimmy Hill
    BBC pundit at Estadio Luis Casanova

    "That was the nearest Spain have come for some time, there was a Spaniard who had a chance from point blank range but he appeared to duck out of it.

    "There was no foul again - the Irish defenders did just as they have done throughout this game - they stood up and played it fairly as they have have done magnificently, all of them.

    "But the Irish just don't have the strength to attack the Spanish half of the pitch - it's almost like a training session where one team attacks and the other defends, and that is how it's going to be until the end."

  12. It's a 9-0-0 formation against a 0-0-10 one now.

    Rafael Gordillo has another shot on target but it's saved by Pat Jennings. This is unbearably tense.

  13. Eight minutes to go in Valencia. How are your nerves?

    Paul: How well are John McClelland and Chris Nicholl playing? World class - that's how well. Hang in there...

  15. How have Spain not scored there?

    A wonderful cross comes in from the left which Quini fails to get his head onto. It falls at the back post for Enrique Saura, who makes a mess of it and doesn't get a proper shot away.

  16. Rafael Gordillo has a shot on target for Spain - they haven't had too many of them - but's straight at Pat Jennings.

  17. This is one of the classic backs-to-the-wall performances. Only 11 minutes left to hold on now.

    Jimmy Nicholl does brilliantly to take the ball clear for Northern Ireland under pressure from Juanito. But Spain just come again. it's attack versus defence by this stage.

    Christopher: Watched game at home and electric went out midway during second half! No 50ps for the meter - got a clip off my mum for swearing.

  19. John Motson
    BBC commentator at Estadio Luis Casanova

    "Spain would still go through if they only lose 1-0 but can they risk it? Tonight at the very climax of his career at the World Cup, Pat Jennings's performance could see Northern Ireland qualify for the second round.

    "Jennings hasn't let the atmosphere of the occasion one bit and that has spread through the ranks.

    "What do Spain do? Do they chase the game and get an equaliser, or do they accept defeat? It's a perplexing situation for the host nation."

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Sammy Nelson comes on

    Northern Ireland make a second change - it's Sammy Nelson, a 33-year-old Brighton defender, who comes on for 17-year-old attacker Norman Whiteside.

    It's just a case of 'can Northern Ireland hold on' now?
