ESPN has no formation for this match, so here are the line-ups as a list.
xG, big chances, touches and duels are ESPN's numbers; other sites' models can differ a little.
Porto have been both organised and disciplined if not completely awe-inspiring but probably deserve the win over the two legs against a Depor side which never really sparked, despite some fine individual performances.
When will Collina put Depor out of their misery?
They take it short and try to hold up play, but Deco is robbed and Depor break somewhat half-heartedly
Porto win a corner
Collina with a perfect decision. He books Tristan for a dive in the penalty area and that means he misses the next match, but for Depor that won't be the final
Porto now in possession and they are happy to keep the ball as the Depor players seem happy to roll over
The Riazor has fallen silent except for the enclave of Porto fans
With five minutes to go Porto players begin to go down. Deco and Mendes wasting time in the closing moments.
Romero fires in a cross looking for Tristan but Emanuel heads clear
Poor cross from Deco and Depor head it clear - Deco could have done much better with that ball.
Deco is beaten in the air and Romero looks to work the loose ball down the left flank towards Fran
Some of the Depor players look beaten. Heavy legs and lowered heads, they know they need two to goals and they know time is against them.
Fran is full of running and takes on Mendes, but the ball he plays inside is wasted and Porto relax
Valeron feeds the ball to Tristan and he clips a teasing pass towards Scaloni but he can't direct the header and the ball is out for a goalkick

The Depor man is receiving treatment but should carry on. The drop-ball is sportingly returned to Porto
Deco swivels and turns past two defenders but play stops after Pablo gets a heavy hit on his knee.
Tristan takes but his excellent effort is just wide of Baia's goal
Freekick for Depor on the edge of the box, very dangerous moment for Porto
Frantic attacking from Depor and the spare man advantage is creating space at the back and Porto's playmaker Deco is looking dangerous on the break
Emanuel and Baia defend well to prevent Tristan from getting a clean shot away
Another change for Depor: Off goes Luque and in his place comes Gonzalez Fran
Good save by Mollina from a well struck Maniche effort
Another rash tackle from Naybet on Ferreria and it is a second yellow card for him and the Depor man sees red, they are down to 10
Two corners in quick succession for Depor, but to no avail
Centre back Santos Pedro Emanuel replaces Carlos Alberto - Porto seem to be satisfied with what they have. Dangerous tactic, or sensible?

Sergio makes way for crowd favourite Tristan
Pandiani has done his best tonight but surely it will be time for Diego Tristan soon

Depor take a corner short and there are calls for a penalty but Collina's not interested
Porto have the away goal, so we can't have extra time, but more importantly Depor need to score twice!
Derlei stepped up and slotted the ball low and to the keeper's right. Molina almost got a glove to it but the shot was just too good.
Derlei scores!
Deco taken down by Cesar on the edge of the box, a clear cut penalty, but he didn't need to make the challenge. Derlei will take...
Penalty to Porto
Baia collects a back pass and launches a huge kick looking for Derlei

Pandiani and Valeron looking dangerous deep in Porto territory
Lionel Scaloni comes off the bench to replace Sanchez Victor who is struggling with thigh strain, explaining why he had not been at his best
Neat inter-play from the Depor midfield but the final pass goes awry and Porto move forward
The corner is wasted and Depor have a goal kick
Top class defending from Cesar, but he concedes a corner
Pablo collects the ball on the right wing, but his cross fails to find any one of the three attackers in support
Solid work by Naybet, who cuts out a cross and unleashes a Depor break
Valente wastes a freekick with a woefully low inswinger. Poor
Mendes loops a ball down the right flank, but he didn't look up and the ball finds nothing but the touchline
Pablo skins his marker and fires in a decent ball but an early jump from Jorge Costa blocks Pandiani's leap
Duscher takles Deco and Depor break forward
Depor have a freekcik. It is fired in at pace from around 35 yards out, but it fails to find anyone after ricocheting between defenders and attackers
Deco pounces on loose ball, he takes it wide and drifts a great ball to the back post where Derlei can only head it against the post! Great effort!
Sergio in with a tackle to halt Costinha's mazy run
Ok, here we go with the second half. Two and a quarter hours of football between these two sides and no goals. But there will be a result tonight, be it through extra time or penalties!
45 minutes remain for the deadlock to broken, no goals so far, but some scintillating football. Keep it here to find out who reaches the final.

Sergio tries to release Luque on the quick break but pass is cut out
Porto try to resume normal service with a nice passing move, but a Carlos Alberto waste the attack with a shot when he could have threaded a ball to two colleagues!
Pandiani tries the spectacular with an overhead kick in the box after an early ball in foxed the defence, but he swings at thin air
Depor have finally found some tempo and Porto are rattled!
Valeron holds his head in his hands after missing a simple volley completely unmarked. A real disaster by his standards, will he regret it later!?

Victor tries his luck down the right for Depor but his hit-and-hope cross finds no-one
Yellow card for Carlos Albero for nasty sliding tackle
A series of aimless passes from Porto all find touch after possession is squandered by Depor

Deco didn't deliver the ball well and Depor clear momentarily, but Porto win it back and continue to press

Mendes and Maniche at the centre of some confident passing as the boos and whistles show the home fans disappointment

Valeron taken out by a rough tackle - let's hope tackles and fouls don't ruin this leg as they did the first
Porto use the freekick to try an attack down the left, but choose to play it back to the keeper - possession the key
