Chiesa is on a booking and makes sure to get his appeals in early after a clash in midfield.

That’s a stunning move by Porto from a corner as Corona spins into space on the byline and puts in a great ball, but Marega is put under huge pressure with his header from close range and can’t beat Szczesny.

It’s another yellow card, and Oliveira would also miss the next game should Porto, in this case, progress.

97'
Pepe makes a good tackle to end another Juve attack. The Porto skipper has been an inspirational presence at the heart of defence all evening, keeping calm and composed while still putting his body on the line when needed. It is of great credit to the former Real Madrid man that he has largely shut Ronaldo out of the game for much of the evening, and few defenders manage that.
95'
It could be a bit of a siege of the Porto penalty box during extra-time. Their legs are starting to look a bit tired after so long with a man down.
94'
Cuadrado whips in a lovely cross and it almost falls to Ronaldo on the rebound on the edge of the box.

Cuadrado goes into the book, primarily for remonstrating too much with the referee, and that will rule him out of the next game should Juve progress.

Away we go again. Just a reminder that Porto are down to ten men, and were for much of the second half. Chiesa is on hat-trick. And a place in the quarter-finals is at stake.

That's it, the game is heading to an extra half hour. Strap yourselves in, we're here for the long haul.
90+4'
Morata wins a corner for Juventus. Is this the last chance to seal the tie in normal time?

How close is that! Cuadrado weaves into the box from the right and crashes a stunner of a shot that hammers off the bar and bounces away to safety. What a hit!
90+1'

There will be five minutes of added time. A goal will win it at this stage for either team, otherwise we’re heading for an extra half hour.
90'

Morata tucks a shot away off the post, but the flag is up and the goal won’t stand. VAR gives it a check and confirms that he was offside.
88'
Rabiot and Chiesa link up dangerously on the edge of the box, but it won’t quite fall for the Italian to get an effort away.
87'
A great cross is swung right towards the head of Ronaldo, who is arriving at full speed, but it takes a touch at the crucial moment to send it away from the Portuguese star.
85'
Marega swivels in the box, but his shot can only find the side-netting.

Porto are trying to settle this in the 90, presumably because with a man disadvantage they won’t have the legs for extra-time, but Szczesny produced a strong save.
81'

Chiesa goes so close to the hat-trick, but is denied at a tight angle by a terrific save by Marchesin.
78'
Ronaldo! The main man has his first true sighting of goal of the evening, but sends his effort wide of the far post. He rages at the sky and really should have done better there. It remains 2-1 on the night and 3-3 on aggregate.
76'
A goal either way will win this and you can sense the nervous energy building out on the pitch in Turin.
