There goes the whistle! All over in Dublin and Porto win the Europa League final thanks to Radamel Falcao's headed goal at the end of the first half!

Meyong fires over the bar! It wouldn't have counted though... he was offside. And that could well be that.

Here come Porto on the break... stopped in their tracks and Braga come forward again!

Braga win a corner late on! Could this be the moment?

Ooh! Belluschi goes close with a long-range effort! That's pretty much the first time Porto have threatened to add to their goal this half!

Vandinho sees a flailing arm hit Hulk in the face... nothing malicious though and play goes on.

Just under 10 minutes to go and it's now or never for Braga!

Another Porto change: James Rodriguez on for Varela.
78'
Falcao is beaten to an aerial ball and Braga emerge with the ball and look to get forward quickly,

Mossoro again argues the toss with the referee... he should watch his mouth - it might get him into big trouble.
75'
Meyong looks to shoot from the edge of the area... but he drags his shot so wide it ends up nearly being a great pass!

Porto make that change now: Belluschi on for Guarin.
72'
Sapunaru should be off here! Surely that's a bookable offence? The referee doesn't agree and awards just a free-kick, despite the protestations of the Braga players.
71'
Hulk delivers a superb cross towards Alvaro Pereira, but the Porto man can't reach it!
70'
The whistle sounds again and this time it's a free-kick for Porto. It really has been a stop-start game, littered with free-kicks.
