Primo tempo
1Leicester TigersThe stage is set, the two dominant teams in England during the professional era meet at Twickenham for the 12th Heineken Cup final, Leicester fly-half Andy Goode gets the match underway
2Leicester TigersLeicester hooker George Chuter take s the first lineout of the match, its won well but Wasps win a turnover and King chips ahead before referee Alan Lewis calls Dan Hipkiss offside and King puts the penalty in the corner
3London WaspsWasps win the lineout and talismanic No.8 Lawrence Dallaglio powers to within five metres, Tom Rees picks up second phase and earns a penalty which King lines up
4London Wasps
Penalty kick - A King
Alex King lands the first points of the final with a 22m penalty just to the left of the sticks
5London WaspsThe match is stopped while Alex King receives treatment after he tries to tackle Lewis Moody, but King won't want to miss this match and is quickly back to his feet
7Leicester Tigers
Penalty kick - A Goode
Leicester strike back immediately with Goode's penalty kick after Wasps were guilty of not rolling away from the tackle area
8London WaspsRookie prop Tom French powers into Tigers scrum half Frank Murphy and the No.9 is rocked backwards and desperate Tigers penalised for coming from the side, King lines up a shot from the left hand side
9London WaspsWasps fans groan as King's kick strikes the upright and the ball is booted to safety
10Leicester TigersA poor lineout from Wasps hands possession to Leicester and now the pack rumble on, Tuilagi nearly collects Goode's crossfield kick on the right hand side, but good defence from Sackey means the danger is averted - clever play from the Tigers No. 10
12Leicester TigersSeri Rabeni holds on on half way, and King's penalty hands Wasps a lineout on the Tigers' 22
13London Wasps
Mete - E Reddan
14London WaspsKing fails to make the tricky touchline conversion, but Wasps will be buoyed by that score. They have dominated the opening period and have the points to prove it
15Leicester Tigers
Penalty kick - A Goode
Fraser Waters blocks Lewis Moody as the Tigers flanker attempts to chase down the restart kick. Lewis spots it, and Goode punishes Wasps
17Leicester TigersTigers fullback Geordan Murphy fails to deal with Danny Cipriani's up n under, and it looks like Paul Sackey has the gas to touch down, but he can't quite catch up with his grubber and Goode takes a 22 drop out
18London WaspsCorry found guilty of holding on under intense Wasps pressure, and King has another chance to score from a penalty goal
20London WaspsKing fails to notch the 45m kick at goal - the kick never had the legs, and the Tigers escape punishment
21Leicester TigersCipriani is tackled by Goode on the 22, and drops the ball in contact to lead to a Tigers scrum
22London WaspsThe Tigers fail to get out of their half, and this time Murphy knocks on to give Wasps a scrum 40m out
22London WaspsThe two packs face up to each other, there is no love lost between these two
25Leicester TigersLeicester look to build some momentum, and it's a crucial intervention by Tom Voyce who puts a tackle on Rabeni to stop the Tigers
26Leicester TigersRedden slices his kick and finds himself offside, the Tigers opt to kick for the corner and now here is a chance for Leicester to try their trademark catch and drive
27Leicester TigersKay jumps highest, but the play is stopped when Phil Vickery and Martin Corry square up. The Wasps man was found to start the fracas. And Leicester have another lineout
27Leicester TigersKay takes it on, and the video ref is called to see if Kay is over - but the replays show Dallaglio and Worsley have done enough to prevent a try. Tigers have a scum 5m out
29London WaspsWasps win a penalty at the scrum, as Chuter stands up, and King clears to 35m
30London WaspsThe London side turn over possession, but the Tigers fail to do anything with their six phases of possession and eventually Goode knocks on in the tackle
32London WaspsWasps defensive system is outstanding, Tuilagi, who often is unstoppable, is triple teamed, isolated, and guilty of holding on
33London WaspsKing puts the penalty in the corner
34London Wasps
Mete - R Ibanez
Amazing! Lighting strikes twice, this time it's Ibanez who scores from the lineout with a sharp one-two with Simon Shaw, and Ibanez is in in the corner
35London WaspsKing's touch conversion attempt is short again, will these missed points hurt Wasps come the final whistle?
37London WaspsCipriani touches down for a 22 drop out, after Jennings is forced to speculatively chip ahead, but he doesn't have the touch.
37Leicester TigersTackle count: Leicester 22, Wasps 45
38Leicester Tigers
Penalty kick - A Goode
Tom Palmer infringes at a ruck, and Goode punishes his indiscretion
39London WaspsSackey puts a huge hit on Corry at the restart, and the Tigers skipper drops the ball - King tries a drop goal, but it falls short and Murphy clears
40London WaspsWasps finish the half with ball in hand, reflective of their fist half dominance. The 2004 champions have dominated defensively, but Leicester are still in this match - largely thanks to the accurate penalty kicking of Goode compared King's wayward boot
Secondo tempo
41London WaspsThe second half is underway, in just 40 minutes we will know who are this season's Kings of Europe, and Wasps have a penalty just seconds in to the second period
42London Wasps
Penalty kick - A King
King slots over the shot from 30m, straight in front of the posts
44Leicester TigersLeicester get a penalty after a scrum just five meters from the line, but Goode slices his kick horribly and Wasps are let off the hook
46Leicester Tigers

49London Wasps
Penalty kick - A King
King drives the kick through to open up a ten-point advantage
49Leicester TigersCipriani takes a mark, and boots it the length of the field to Goode, and Goode can only kick to halfway - everything is going Wasps' way right now
50Leicester Tigers
Substitution - O Smith on for D Gibson
50Leicester Tigers
Blood sub - L Deacon on for L Cullen
50London Wasps
Substitution - J Haskell on for L Dallaglio
The Wasps skipper leaves the park to huge applause, the old England war horse has had a great game
52London WaspsThe sides swap turnovers, and its Wasps who win a penalty at the breakdown - the momentum is with the London side, Leicester look rudderless, an error strewn performance from the English champions
53London WaspsWasps are in the shadow of the posts, the ball is popped back to King who is in the hole
54London Wasps
Drop kick - A King
A composed kick from directly in front of the posts extends Wasps' leads to 13 points
54Leicester Tigers
Substitution - L Cullen on for B Kay
55London Wasps
Substitution - D Leo on for S Shaw
56London WaspsLeicester need to step up, Wasps are stopping every attack with fine tackling and textbook positioning
57Leicester TigersMurphy overthrows a pass to Tuiligi - it's straight into touch and symptomatic of Leicester's miserable hour of rugby - they need to turn things around pronto or Wasps are the champions
59Leicester TigersTuilagi threatens to break Wasps defence 10m out, but he knocks on, and Wasps have a scum and a chance to clear their lines
60Leicester TigersHandling errors: Leicester 6, London Wasps 1
60Leicester TigersGood scrummaging from Leicester earns them the put-in after referee Lewis spots an infringement, just 20 minutes remain and the two packs face off five metres from Wasps' try line
61London WaspsWasps defence holds firm, Waters makes a crucial tackle and win a penalty, and King clears to halfway
61London Wasps
Blood sub - J Ward on for D Leo
62Leicester Tigers
Substitution - I Humphreys on for A Goode
62Leicester TigersAn 81,076 crowd is confirmed - that makes today's match a World record for a club match
63London WaspsTackle count: Leicester 41, London Wasps 71
66London WaspsWasps fail to release the ball in the tackle, and Humphreys kicks to 35m out to set up a lineout, but Chuter's throw isn't straight - what an error, Ibanez takes over, throws to the front and Rees drives on to halfway
68Leicester TigersLeicester put ball through hands for the first time in the match, Hipkiss opens up and feeds Tuilagi who shows his speed and gets to within 10m of the line, Cipriani makes the tackle to deny the wing
68London Wasps
Blood sub - D Leo on for J Ward
71London WaspsJames Haskell runs 70 metres and Leicester are on the ropes, Humphreys chases him down and tackles him five meters from the line, they recycle and somehow Leicester keep them out, but the pressure is relentless and now Voyce takes the ball on
73London Wasps

King puts 16 points between the teams and thats his final action of the match applauded from the park

79Leicester TigersLeicester have dominated possession this half, with 62 per cent of ball, but there is simply no way through the organised defence of the London side
80London WaspsWasps have earned this win by outwitting Leicester. The champions of 2004 are champions in 2007, Ian McGeechan and Shaun Edwards masterminding one of the great triumphs, it may not have been the prettiest of matches, but it was certainly impressive.
