Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
I think both sides would take penalties at this stage. This game has been so frantic, so end-to-end, that neither side has any energy remaining.

Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
Lucas Covolan wins his second header of the day, heading out a ball over the top that was just outside his area.
Sweeper keeper as well as a goalscorer.

It's so hard to make the right decision when you're on the pitch and this tired because you don't know how much is left in the tank. It looks like very little.
Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
A high boot from Hartlepool's Daniel Elliott and that's probably the most drama we've had since the restart.
Both sides are very, very tired now.
Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
A loose pass trickles to Torquay's Lucas Covolan.
He picks the ball up to a warm reception from the Torquay fans. Whatever happens today, this man is going down in club and football history.

There are only one set of fans making any noise right now, and it's the Torquay supporters.
They are still trying to get their heads around what happened at the end of normal time - as it seems are Hartlepool's players.
Just 15 minutes to go before penalties - maybe Lucas Covolan can be the hero again!

Final team talks on the pitch.
What an earth do you say to the Hartlepool players? Forget about their keeper scoring with the final touch, it's 0-0 again lads.
How would you forget a thing like that?

Turns out it was only a few more seconds to go.
The Torquay corner comes to nothing and that's half-time in extra time.

At this stage, I have no idea how many minutes remain.
Torquay have another corner. Lucas Covolan doesn't come up for this one. They must be playing defensive.

Jake Andrews goes off in a stretcher to a standing ovation from both sets of fans.
Matt Buse comes on. That's Torquay's final change.
Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
Play still hasn't restarted. I think this break may help Hartlepool's players settle down you know.
Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
I think the injury is a bad cut from a high tackle. Andrews is now receiving stitches on the pitch.
He looks a braver man than me.

There is still time for Hartlepool. A few of the heads in the team have dropped, which is natural when you let in a goal so late.
But you can't feel sorry for yourself, they still have an opportunity as it's 1-1 and the game is there to be won.
Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
Jake Andrews doesn't want to come off. He's still flat on the pitch though.
We'll have four minutes added on officially, but I'm expecting more.

Play has stopped. Torquay sub Jake Andrews has cramp.

Hartlepool's fans are very quiet. They are still stunned.
Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
Much better from Torquay as forward Adam Wright gets in behind and fires a stinger at keeper Bradley Jones.
No problem for the Hartlepool stopper who holds on without worry.
Hartlepool 1-1 Torquay
All out attack from Hartlepool and it nearly comes back to bite them as substitute Billy Waters drives down the right.
He can't find the right ball though and a swarm of blue wins it back.
