Millwall well deserved it on the night but Leeds will regret the missed penalty which was very badly struck by Beckford who has scored 34 goals this season. Disappointment too for Simon Grayson who having left Blackpool did a great job to revive Leeds' season but they've fallen just short. Millwall are going to Wembley for the first time since 1940 and no doubt they'll fancy their chances after putting out one of the biggest clubs in England.
97 min: Looks good for Millwall now. It must be full time and it is. Millwall are on the way to Wembley. Great celebrations but the Leeds players are on the floor.
96 min: The keeper is up. Leeds claim for handball but it's a corner. Keeper stays up and Millwall win a free kick.
95 min: Bad tackle by Dunne and Leeds get a free kick in a good position on left. Beckford retaliates and both players get booked.
94 min: Great chance for Millwall. Leeds far too deep and Grabben gets in behind the defence but he drives it over the bar.
93 min: Milwall subs hold onto the ball and it gets a bit fractious as Douglas tries to win it back but no biggie. The Leeds fans bang the roof of the Millwall dugout.
92 min: Grella on for Leeds in place of Howson. Leeds have a throw by Millwall's corner flag. Millwall have knocked it out for another. Delph sets it up for Johnson but again from distance it goes way over.
91 min: OK, so he didn't nearly die but it looked like it for about 5 min, then he got up and played on.
90 min: SIX minutes of added time. Millwall won't like that but then Zac Whitbread did nearly die on the pitch so that would account for it.
89 min: Another long range shot from Snodgrass goes just over,
88 min: Leeds are launching balls into the box every chance they get. Bradley Johnson has a shot from 40 yards which goes just wide. It's desperation stuff for Leeds now.
87 min: Millwall deal with it but now Leeds have a free kick on the half way line.
85 min: Snodgrass corner easily cleared. Millwall under pressure now but handling it well. Shot by Robinson is blocked and another Leeds corner.
85 min: Corner for Leeds but sub for Millwall first. You shouldn't make a sub at a corner. Henry goes off, Robinson is on.
83 min: Snodgrass slips on the edge of the Leeds box. The ball is picked up by Martin who tries to chip the Keeper but the ball goes harmlessly across the goal. Not such a bad chance.
80 min: Frampton slips letting Leeds in. Leeds on the attack now. Great cross from Johnson. David Forde drops the ball and Beckford clips it towards the goal. It's cleared off the line but the Ref blows for a foul on Forde. Bad decision though, he wasn't touched.

Ref: Mark HalseyAtt: 37036
76 min: A Leeds substitution. Ben Parker is off for Bradley Johnson. Parker is probably still knackered after setting up the goal.
74 min: The Leeds fans are calling for Gary Kelly to be brought on but it's surely too late.
73 min: Credit has to go to Martin, it was a super cross and great dink to take the ball past the full back.
72 min: Great cross by David Martin, knocked back across the box and midfielder Jimmy Abdul was on hand to bundle the ball into the net from six yards.
72 min: MILLWALL HAVE SCORED.
71 min: great forty yard pass by Decchio, picks out Beckford who looked to be one-on-one but Alan Dunne got back to cover brilliantly and the danger is averted.
70 min: Great atmosphere at Elland Road, the whole crowd are on their feet and yes, there are a few coins flying here and there.
69 min: Shot cross from Snodgrass, met on the volley by Beckford but it goes over the bar.
69 min: The Millwall keeper appears to have recovered having been hit on the ankle with a coin.
68 min: Beckford almost through for Leeds but the ball hit him on the ankle after a brilliant through ball from Robinson
66 min: Finely poised with Leeds 1-0 up on the night. 1-1 on aggregate. Decchio scored for Leeds after 51 minutes after a brilliant run by the young full back Parker in the 51st minute. Jermaine Beckford missed a penalty for Leeds about two minutes earlier.
