| Première mi-temps |
| 1 | Saracens | Sarries regain Jackson's perfectly weighted kick-off and attack at Munster immediately. Jackson receives the ball again and kicks cross field for Ratuvou. Howlett gathers and is taken into touch. |
| 2 | Saracens | Sarries win the lineout but as they attack up the middle, Kris Chesney is picked up by the linesman for illegal use of the elbow. Nigel Owens has a word and Munster clear their lines. |
| 3 | Saracens | Munster claim their first ball from the lineout and O'Leary kicks into the box. Jackson tries to clear but is snagged and loses the ball. Hurley kicks through but Haughton counters brilliantly. |
| 5 | Saracens | Essais - K Ratuvou Jackson continues the moves down the blind side and his grubber is gathered by Ratuvou. He feeds Powell who looks as if he'll score but as Howlett hauls him down, Ratuvou is on hand to pick up and score. |
| 5 | Saracens | Conversion - G Jackson |
| 7 | Munster | Munster respond well and after reclaiming the restart are soon hammering at the Sarries line. The ball goes left and Dowling is put over in the corner only to be called back for a forward pass. |
| 8 | Munster | Penalty kick - R O'Gara Munster have the consolation of a penalty in midfield for Hugh Vyvyan coming off his feet and O'Gara narrow the gap to three. |
| 9 | Munster | Another messy restart, and Munster win the penalty for the jumper being taken out in the air. O'Gara punts up the line for territory. |
| 11 | Munster | Munster secure their ball and go through multiple phases with no reward and are eventually penalised at the ruck for holding on. Good early signs for the Saracens defensive line. |
| 13 | Saracens | Sarries endure a similar fate with their ball as they attack fruitlessly and are eventually turned over and O'Gara hoofs down field. Some kicking tennis ensues and Haughton marks and clears. |
| 15 | Saracens | Ratuvou the Fijian is flying again. After receiving the ball on the left he leaves tow defenders standing and chips past the third. Only the scrambling defence of Howlett denies the winger his second score. |
| 16 | Saracens | From the lineout Sorrell comes back on a short ball but loses the ball. At the scrum though, Visagie destroys Horan to win the put in and Sarries again go wide from first phase. |
| 17 | Saracens | Ratuvou again runs hard and when De Kock spills the ball and Mr Owens brings play back for a Munster scrum . De Kock needs treatment after the huge hit from Howlett. |
| 20 | Munster | Munster win a penalty at the scrum and the front five are delighted after crumpling only minutes earlier. O'Gara gives the Irishmen good field position. |
| 21 | Munster | Munster attack and Horan drives powerfully in midfield. The quick ball is spread left and first Mafi, then Dowling surge for the line. The chance goes begging though as the ball is knocked on only metres short. |
| 23 | Munster | The Munster were obviously hurt by the poor scrimmage earlier and the men in red walk right over the Sarries eight to rapturous applause from their army of fans. They now have the put in. |
| 24 | Saracens | Unbelievably, Sarries take it against the head in this topsy turvy set piece battle and Jackson clears well. |
| 25 | Munster | Essais - R O'Gara Try time. O'Connell wins the lineout and O'Gara takes a flat ball at pace to ghost past Nick Lloyd and slide in to the right of the posts. |
| 26 | Munster | Nigel Owens is ready to overrule his touch judges who say that the conversion was missed, but TMO Derek Bevan confirms that O'Gara's effort was wide. |
| 26 | Munster | Missed conversion: O'Gara |
| 28 | Saracens | Munster take the ball up to halfway from the restart and O'Leary kicks to the corner. Some back and forth kicking follows, before Jackson eventually puts the ball out of play back on halfway. |
| 30 | Saracens | Leonelli hammers Mafi in midfield form the lineout and wins a penalty to boot to the visible joy of his teammates. A real up lifting moment for Sarries. |
| 32 | Saracens | Substitution - T Ryder on for B Skirving |
| 35 | Saracens | Jackson drills a pin point kick into the corner. The ball comes off the top and Leonelli and Vyvyan carry well up the middle. The ball is worked left and Sarries are awarded a scrum. |
| 37 | Saracens | De Kock takes the ball from Ryder and is unceremoniously hammered by opposite number O'Leary. Tough day at the office so far for the skipper. |
| 38 | Saracens | Sarries retain the ball, but Sorrell is pinged by Owens for holding on after a powerful surge. |
| 40 | Munster | Essais - A Quinlan Tipoki makes a break on halfway and offloads to Howlett. He is well caught by Leonelli and from the ruck, Quinlan picks up and goes straight through the middle and streaks over unopposed to score. |
| 40 | Munster | Conversion - R O'Gara O'Gara adds the extras and what a time to put seven points on the board. Huge psychological blow on the stroke of half time. |
| Deuxième mi-temps |
| 41 | Munster | The rain has arrived in Coventry and that could play into the hands of the wily Munstermen who are masters at the art of wet weather tussles. |
| 41 | Saracens | Sarries face an uphill struggle if they are to take this one, but with the rewards at stake they certainly won't be giving up the ghost. First second half score will be vital. |
| 41 | Munster | Kick-off from O'Gara goes out on the full. Scrum back on half way. |
| 42 | Saracens | Jackson kicks deep and O'Leary clears. From the lineout, Ratuvou takes it up the middle, as then do Gustard and Sorrell and Owens penalises O'Callaghan in the shadow of the posts for hands in the ruck. |
| 43 | Saracens | Penalty kick - G Jackson The kiwi makes no mistake and the lead is vitally reduced to five points. |
| 44 | Munster | Munster look to strike back immediately after regaining the restart, but the conditions begin to take their toll as the ball slips from O'Leary's grasp at the base. |
| 46 | Munster | More hands in the ruck from Munster allow Jackson to kick up the line to safety. Gustard carries from the ensuing play and once again the slippery ball is spilled. |
| 47 | Saracens | Substitution - C Johnston on for C Visagie |
| 50 | Saracens | Both sides enjoy periods of possession and predictably the game is tightening up as play becomes dominated by pick and gos. This is turning into a war of attrition. |
| 52 | Munster | O'Gara slides a low skiddy kick into the corner to give Munster good territory. Sarries win a penalty from the lineout though as Leamy is caught offiside. Jackson returns play to the Munster half. |
| 54 | Saracens | Cairns throw is not straight as more and more errors creep into the match and in that vein, O'Leary kicks the ball straight out on the full to give Cairns a second bite at the cherry. |
| 55 | Saracens | He gets it right and Sarries continue to keep it tight and take the pace right out of the tie. They do eventually go wide though and Ratuvou breaks the line |
| 57 | Saracens | The ball comes left where the forwards take over again, hammering towards the whitewash. When the ball is freed to Ratuvou once more, Tipoki kills the ball conceding a penalty under the sticks. |
| 57 | Munster | Yellow card - R Tipoki The kiwi gets ten minutes for his troubles as Sarries manfully scrap their way back into the semi final. |
| 57 | Saracens | Penalty kick - G Jackson Jackson slots the easy kick to narrow the gap further. |
| 59 | Saracens | Yellow card - N Lloyd Tempers are getting frayed in this pressure cauldron and Nick Lloyd is picked out by the touch judge and gets 10 minutes of his own for punching at the scrum to level the numbers. |
| 60 | Munster | Missed penalty: O'Gara |
| 62 | Saracens | Yellow card - C Johnston Jackson clears a missed O'Gara penalty, but his kick is infield and first Wallace then O'Connell carry back Census Johnson kills the ball and Mr Owens sends him the same way as Lloyd. |
| 62 | Munster | Penalty kick - R O'Gara O'Gara makes Sarries pay for their indiscipline. |
| 63 | Saracens | Temporary sub - C Visagie on for P Gustard |
| 64 | Saracens | Confusion amongst referee and player as the sides attempt to pack down for a scrum with Sarries having both their props in the bin. Visagie comes back on despite at first claiming he was injured. |
| 64 | Saracens | Temporary sub - P Gustard on for C Visagie |
| 65 | Munster | Munster eventually come up with the ball and O'Gara weights a beautiful grubber to the posts only to be pulled back by Owens for a marginal penalty for a man being in front of the ball. |
| 67 | Munster | After a period of loose kicking, O'Leary slips a flat pass to Howlett inside his 22. Howlett races away but when he hits contact the wet ball slips from his hands in Sarries get some respite. |
| 69 | Saracens | Sarries get some good field position through strong carrying from Ratuvou but the move is ended by a forward pass. The match now error and the winner could be the side who make the least from now on in |
| 71 | Saracens | Penalty kick - G Jackson An indiscretion at an ensuing breakdown gives Jackson a kickable penalty and the reliable Kiwi strikes it cleanly. This game is going to the wire. |
| 73 | Saracens | Jackson's influence is growing at just the right time. The fly half delivers a perfectly executed corner kick to pile the pressure on Munster and after an infield clearance Sarries attack. |
| 74 | Munster | Substitution - D Ryan on for D O'Callaghan |
| 75 | Saracens | They are scuppered by the slippery ball yet again though just as Jackson had slipped into the pocket for a dropped goal attempt. Munster have a long five minutes ahead of them. |
| 76 | Saracens | Sarries win a lineout and Sarries attack left. Ratuvou chip ahead but Mafi gathers and it is Munster's turn to break away. Hurley takes it up the left and Hill is penalised for coming off his feet at the ruck. |
| 77 | Saracens | Substitution - M Rauluni on for N de Kock |
| 79 | Munster | Leamy is penalised from the lineout and Jackson puts Sarries in range with a good touch finder. Johnson breaks though and Raulini almost breaks clear but Munster snaffle the ball and win the penalty. |
| 80 | Munster | With 80 minutes on the clock, the Irishmen put the ball out of play and Nigel Owens blows the whistle which sends Munster to Cardiff, the scene of their greatest day, for an epic final with Toulouse. |
