    It's exactly what Barnsley have been waiting for, they've been waiting for that opportunity to strike.

    Will Luca Connell rue that opportunity?

    UNBELIEVABLE!

    Luca Connell will see that moment when he closes his eyes for the rest of his life if Barnsley don't win this.

    From the resulting corner Barnsley clear and break.

    They have the numbers in their favour and it's moved to Luca Connell in the box on the left.

    He snatches at his chance, and is horribly off target. A terrible miss.

    Barry Bannan took his time and he's placed the ball in the bottom corner.

    Harry Isted - two outstanding saves and he's keeping Barnsley in the game on his own.

    He dives low to his right to keep Barry Bannan out.

    What a remarkable save!

    It looked for all the world that Michael Smith was going to bundle that in but Harry Isted made a save for the ages.

    Wonderful from the Luton loanee.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 99 mins

    Barnsley 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Harry Isted makes a stunning save for Barnsley!

    He makes his body big and foils Michael Smith from point-blank range. The follow up effort is blocked.

    Desperation stuff from the Tykes.

    The corner is cleared, but only as far as Barry Bannan.

    The Sheffield Wednesday man wraps his foot around a half-volley and catches the top of the net as it flashes over the bar.

    That was dipping wickedly.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 96 mins

    Barnsley 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Barnsley's Bobby Thomas goes sliding into Barry Bannan on the left and goes into the book.

    The booking is one thing, but the set-piece is another...

    It's whipped in low and Wednesday now have a corner.

    Matthew Lowson: This season's play-offs have arguably been one of the best in terms of storylines and drama across the three divisions.

    Alf Wilson: No wonder I've always had a soft spot for Barnsley. They haven't just fought like lions, they've shown more quality as well, despite the red card

    Willem Mevius: Wednesday don't seem to have a clue what to do with the extra man. Hopeful long balls all the time. Barnsley look more likely to score.

    Sheffield Wednesday make a bright start to extra time and have a goalbound effort cleared by Mads Andersen.

    Michael Ihiekwe's header was on target and needed dealing with.

    If there is such a thing as a moral victory then Barnsley have already won, playing with 10 men so long in this half.

    The expectation isn't on them.

    Sheffield Wednesday have to change something to try to win this game.

    Sheffield Wednesday have themselves an early corner.

    But it's comfortably dealt with by Barnsley.

    How are your nerves?

    Can the 10-man Tykes do it or will the Owls fly up to the Championship?

    Will there be another shootout or will it be sorted out in extra time?

    Extra time it is, then.

    To lean on boxing parlance, was Barnsley's best chance to win to get Wednesday out of there when they had the chance?

    As mentioned, they have by far the younger team but, lest we forget, they have been down to 10 men since the 53rd minute.

    The Owls, hamstrung by a lack of forward options on the bench, have not really been at it today but, it basically goes without saying, one goal is likely to be enough to win this now.
