End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME - WALES HAVE DONE IT! Chris Coleman's side are through to the quarter-final. Heartbreak for Northern Ireland as Gareth McAuley's own-goal decides the match.
90'+3
Northern Ireland are throwing men forward as their desperation increases. Another long throw-in is delivered in but the goalkeeper punches clear. Moments left...
90'
Four minutes of added time to play. Four minutes for Northern Ireland to find a leveller. Four minutes for Wales to hold on.
88'
Northern Ireland
Wales have a long throw-in to deal with, it's delivered deep into the penalty area, but Hennessey does brilliantly to rise above heads and collect possession.
87'
Wales
Ramsey is flagged offside but Wales have the ball where they want it. Northern Ireland have three minutes plus injury-time to find an equaliser.
86'
Wales
Actually, he's staying on. The defender insists he is OK and Chris Coleman is going to allow him to continue. Northern Ireland have three forwards on the pitch - will Wales rue this decision?
85'
Wales
Ashley Williams is down again - he's holding his arm - and he's going to have to come off.
84'
In fact, it's Northern Ireland who make a change and it's a final roll of the dice for Michael O'Neill. It's a defender off for a forward.

83'
Wales
They're back on their feet and may be OK to continue for the remaining seven minutes or so.
82'
Wales
Martin Atkinson is forced to stop play as Ashley Williams and Jonathan Williams come together in a nasty collision. Both players are down and in some pain.
81'
Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland have a chance now to deliver the ball into the penalty area from a free-kick... but it ends in disappointment as Evans fouls Gunter in the penalty area.
80'
But Will Grigg STILL hasn't played a minute of football at the Euros.

78'
The Welsh fans are in full voice - and why not? What a journey they've been on. Michael O'Neill simply has to urge his team to somehow find a way back into the game.
77'
76'
Wales are 15 minutes away from clinching a place in the quarter-final of the European Championship for the first ever time. But you have to feel sorry for McAuley who could do little about his own goal.
75'
GOAAALLLLL! Wales 1-0 Northern Ireland. It's heartbreak for McAuley who turns the ball over the line and into his own net after a wonderful low ball across the face of goal from Bale.
