Full time!
And the referee blows his whistle to end an extraordinary night of football! It was a frantic start with three goals in seven minutes and Wycombe never looked back.
The Chairboys made full use of their numerical advantage, constantly applying pressure and were rewarded for their enterprising play.
All to do for Fleetwood as they not only need to find four goals and will be without Coyle and Madden for the second leg. For a team as hot as the Cod Army were coming into the play-offs, the apparent end of their season will be bitterly disappointing.
That's all for now. My name is John Lupo and I hope you enjoyed tonight's coverage as Wycombe are on their way to Wembley. That's all for now. Take care!
Five extra minutes
The fourth official signals five minutes of stoppage time.
Final substitution for Wycombe
90' Gareth Ainsworth makes his fifth and final change as Nick Freeman comes on for David Wheeler.
Game halted
88' A dangerous situation as a smoke bomb has been thrown onto the far side of the pitch.
Another double change for Wycombe
87' Ofoborh and Onyedinma are subbed off for Adebayo Akinfenwa and Curtis Thompson.
Fleetwood down to nine men!
85' Madden is sent off after having words with the referee. He felt aggrieved after being booked for diving against Darius Charles and the argument sees him pick up a second yellow and he will miss the fixture at Adams Park next week.
Fleetwood miss
82' Burns gets a little ambitious. After playing a one-two with Madden, he decides to take a speculative shot that's nowhere close with teammates available to pass to.
Double change for Wycombe
80' The visitors give Matt Bloomfield and Alex Samuel the rest of the night off, replaced by Alex Pattison and Scott Kashket, respectively.
Fleetwood substitution
77' Harvey Saunders comes on for Barrie McKay.
Missed chance for the visitors
74' Wycombe are still attacking and Bloomfield hooks in a cross that Burns hooks away, but it falls to Ofoborh, who miscues his attempt.
Second drinks break
69' A time out for some refreshments as Evans saw a poor delivery by Andrew off of a corner one minute prior.
Fleetwood substitution
65' Knowing he needs goals, Barton brings on Paddy Madden, who scored in both matches against Wycombe this season, for Paul Coutts.
Cairns prevents a fifth
62' It's been a nightmare evening for the Fleetwood keeper, but he makes a really good save after a neat one-two, Onyedinma latching on to a lovely through ball from Samuel that's kept out.
Fleetwood response
60' The hosts nearly get a second as Barrie McKay's free kick is tipped over Allsop.
Wycombe add a fourth!
GOAL! 57' It's gone from bad to worse for Cairns as he leaps for the ball, but completely misses, allowing Alex Samuel to volley home for his first goal in 15 months.
Chance wasted for the hosts
55' Fleetwood have a good spell of possession with Burns playing a cross down the right, but Evan's doesn't complete his run. Typical of the Cod Army today.
Second half is underway!
We have returned with Wycombe in pole position, up two on the scoreboard and with a man advantage. Fleetwood manager Joey Barton makes a substitution with Kyle Dempsey replacing Callum Connolly.
The halftime whistle blows!
What a first half. Four goals, three bookings, two penalties given, an own goal and we still have 45 minutes to play.
We're going to take a short break and be back with the second half.
Wycombe grab a third!
GOAL! 45+3' An absolute peach of a volley by Wheeler off a set piece gives Cairns no chance!
Connolly booked
45+1 Second yellow card of the evening is shown to Callum Connolly after he fouls Onyedinma.
Fleetwood dodge another bullet!
44' Already down a man, the hosts may have gotten away with one as Evans is called for hand ball.
Fleetwood substitution
36' The first change by either side sees Danny Andrew replacing Josh Morris.
Penalty saved!
34' Joe Jacobson takes the spot kick, but his attempt is saved in the bottom right corner by Cairns, who also diverts Wheeler's follow-up over the bar, atoning for his earlier error.
Fleetwood down to 10 men!
33' A horrible tackle by Lewie Coyle on Jacobson and he is sent off after being shown a straight red card!
First booking of the night
30' The game has slowed down in the last few minutes, but Jacobson is booked.
Drinks break
23' The first drinks break of the match has arrived and we all surely need it.
Visitors dominating
Wycombe are really on top of things. Fred Odenyima and Dominic Gape take resulting free kicks after corners, but neither are able to convert. Still, a signal of intent from Gareth Ainsworth's side.
Wycombe almost add a third!
11' The visitors go close again as Matt Bloomfield wins just outside the Fleetwood penalty area, but Joe Jacobson blazes over from just outside the box.
Wycombe re-take the lead!
GOAL! 7' This is a bonkers game so far. Souttar swings in a corner that Fleetwood keeper Alex Cairns accidentally puts in his own net to give Wanderers the lead again.
Fleetwood level from the spot!
GOAL! 4' The Wycombe goalkeeper Ryan Allsop takes down Lewis Gibson after Wes Burns does well to keep possession alive and the ref awards a penalty that Ched Evans coolly finishes in the bottom left corner.
Wycombe take the lead!
GOAL! 2' That was fast! Ofoborh with a brilliant first-time strike that leaves Cairns with no chance as the visitors get off to the perfect start!
The match is underway!
We have kicked off at Highbury!
