It's tied up at 2 (on the aggregate) and extra time beckons. According to the Sky Sports commentary Tracy had a chance to go through on goal but his first touch let him down allowing Richards to clear.

Penalties. According to the Sky Sports commentary above, deep into extra time, Tracy burst past Onuoha only for the latter to recover with a "last-ditch tackle."

Unfortunately, City win on penalties. But still, that Tracy played in this game at all, let alone what happened within less than fifteen minutes of his coming on the field, is surreal.

Here's some Tracy-focused live commentary from No Short Corners.

The Setanta report, which confirms that Tracy had an assist on AaB's opening goal, is here. Tracy was given a 6.5 in Setanta's player ratings.

Below are the highlights I found on YouTube.
