00:00So it'll be Czechoslovakia in their red kit to kick off.

00:08The Austrians the other night gave a pretty solid performance against Italy without looking very punchy.

00:16Here's Scharke with his first touch, not to care to Roos.

00:21Now Hurtnagel who's been brought to the side, Roos on the overlap, and that'll be a free kick.

00:35George Smith the referee, he was in fact among those referees told before the World Cup started that he needed to improve his fitness.

00:43They were all given fitness tests, and Smith obviously has done that, otherwise he wouldn't be refereeing this game at all today.

00:50They've been very strict about the refereeing.

00:52So a free kick to Austria very early on.

00:57Polster is up there. Watch for Gerhard Rodax as well.

01:04But it's blocked. Another chance for Roos to get the cross in.

01:07This time he does it, goes a long way. Stechkal, an early touch for him to build his confidence.

01:12And he'll feel a lot better for that.

01:15Czechoslovakia already having repped home five goals.

01:18His Bielek, nominally a left back but often makes dangerous runs from there.

01:25Outstanding player, plays for Sparta Prague, there he is.

01:31Polster using his elbows typically to keep off the challenge from Kadlec.

01:38Schürrtle coming forward to support the attack, the big lanky Peter Schürrtle.

01:44Free kick to Austria.

01:51Schürrtle, one of the many rapid Vienna players in the Austria squad.

01:56And brought down by Nemecek.

01:59And he's one of their key strikers now. Kubik is there, Bielek is there.

02:08And he's got it.

02:11And he's got it.

02:14And he's got it.

02:17And he's got it.

02:20And he's got it.

02:23And he's got it.

02:24And he's got it there.

02:33It's Kubik who hits it, only into the wall. Skouravi!

02:36And he's annoyed with himself but he didn't make more of that.

02:41Could have been his third goal of the World Cup.

02:46The free kick came in from Kubik.

02:49It dropped nicely for Skouravi and really he should have done a little bit better.

02:54He would have been disappointed certainly not to have brought a save from the goalkeeper from that kind of range.

03:06Still a chance for the Austrians to maybe create something here.

03:09Tony Polster.

03:12Rodax trying to squeeze his way in between the defenders.

03:15But Nemecek in the end snuffs out the danger and Kubik brings it away.

03:19And now Bielek.

03:21Little Mikhail Bielek of Sparta Prague.

03:25Nice ball through for Konopliček.

03:28Things are on here. This could be a chance for Skouravi.

03:30He drops. Oh and what a left off that was.

03:33Mravčík was in there.

03:36And the Austrians survive by the skin of their teeth there.

03:43The goal could be coming for Czechoslovakia.

03:48It wouldn't exactly be the biggest shock in World Cup history if they were to score imminently.

03:54But Austria are still in business at the moment.

03:56No score so far.

03:59And Austria. Oh that's a very bad back pass by Feffer and that could be a penalty kick.

04:12And the penalty for that foul on Chauvinets in the midfield, Claire, when he came forward.

04:19Terrible back pass from Feffer here.

04:22He sold his goalkeeper short and Lindenberger.

04:26Well was that a foul or was it not a foul?

04:28We'll get a view in a moment from Gerry Francis.

04:34But Czechoslovakia have a penalty.

04:36Well there don't seem to be too many arguments.

04:41Bielek will be the man who takes it.

04:42He scored one from the spot against the United States.

04:45But remember in this World Cup of seven penalties taken, four have been missed so far.

04:51Viali missed one last night.

04:53This is exceptionally bad news for the Austrians.

04:58And Feffer, the FK Austria defender, 24, who'd been brought into the side.

05:06He's going to feel absolutely awful.

05:08But Chauvinets, it looks like he's going to be limping out of the game as a result of that.

05:13That looks quite a bad injury there.

05:15Right ankle by the looks of things.

05:17That's where he was caught by Lindenberger.

05:20And Bielek, well the other night when he took the penalty against the United States,

05:25he hit it high to the goalkeeper's right.

05:29I wonder what he's got up his trick sleeve here.

05:31Chauvinets is in some trouble.

05:34We await the penalty.

05:37On my watch coming up to 29 and a half minutes gone.

05:42And Chauvinets looks really groggy.

05:44It didn't look that bad.

05:46Will he come back?

05:49Will the penalty jinx strike again at Italia 90?

05:52Bielek with the penalty for Czechoslovakia.

05:57And if this goes in, they're halfway into the knockout stages already.

06:03He does it.

06:051-0 to Czechoslovakia.

06:08His second penalty of the tournament.

06:12A vital goal. He scored a lot of them.

06:15Mikhal Bielek of Sparta Prague.

06:19He hit it to the same side as against the United States.

06:23This time low.

06:24Lindenberger, a brave attempt.

06:27Seemed to move before it was kicked, but so many of the goalkeepers do that these days.

06:32He did. He came off his line and I think, to be honest,

06:37had he saved that, the referee would have been entirely within his rights

06:42to say, take it again.

06:46Very often they don't.

06:50A technical check place for Hamburg.

06:52Bielek there with the free kick. He is expert at these.

06:55He can curl them over the wall.

06:57Seen him score these before in international matches.

07:02And I think he's going to take this one.

07:04Although Kubik is there as well. Number 9, Kubik.

07:077, Bielek.

07:10On the far side.

07:11And he'll look to curl this around the wall.

07:13Kubik takes it. It's a good one too.

07:15Lindenberger was sharp enough.

07:20Clever little idea though.

07:22A lot of the sides use it.

07:23They have two men who could take the free kick.

07:25So they could bend it around the wall either way.

07:27And that makes it difficult for the goalkeeper to guess.

07:30In the end it was Kubik who took this one with the left foot.

07:37Petzl has his work cut out there with the pace of Konopliček.

07:40Just gets in the challenge.

07:43And that big defender has been asked a lot of questions in the first half.

07:46Not all of which he's answered in the affirmative.

07:50As there goes the whistle for half time.

07:52And it won't come a moment too soon for the Austrians who've struggled.

08:00The goal coming on the half hour from Michal Bielek in shot there.

08:05The blonde haired Czechoslovak player.

08:08After a terrible mistake really by Anton Feffer.

08:12Knocking his back pass short.

08:13Chobanets carried off for Czechoslovakia.

08:15But that's the only bad news for them.

08:17They lead 1-0.

08:18Join us right after the break.

08:20...change it's 15-50.

08:24Kind of mecca for culture vultures everywhere.

08:28But it's the football taking centre stage today.

08:31And Austria with a lot of work to do in the second half.

08:37And they'll be looking for a big improvement.

08:40Here's Feffer.

08:42Trying to forget the nightmare of his back pass.

08:44Not long for Tony Polster.

08:48Goes out of play.

08:49And it'll be a Czechoslovak goal kick.

08:56...on this in a moment.

08:57Seem to be just sitting back a little bit.

08:59But it's not a big deal.

09:01It's not a big deal.

09:02It's not a big deal.

09:04It's not a big deal.

09:06It's not a big deal.

09:07...on this in a moment.

09:08Seem to be just sitting back a little bit more.

09:10Saying well we've got the lead.

09:11It's up to you to take it away from us.

09:13Now here's Herzog trying to do just that.

09:17Eichner.

09:19Dispossessed by Skoravy.

09:20But now Schach.

09:22Out to Streiter.

09:23Schach again.

09:24Nice one too.

09:25That's better from the Austrians.

09:26Well read though.

09:27Danger's not over yet.

09:28Because here's Rodax.

09:31Good opportunity.

09:33For the man who's going to Atletico Madrid.

09:36Who's scored over 30 goals in the Austrian League this season.

09:41Gerhard Rodax.

09:43This is better work.

09:44He bought the space well.

09:46A lot of ideas.

09:47Clumsy at the back.

09:49But they're beginning now just to ask a few questions.

09:54Kubik though for Czechoslovakia this time.

09:56He goes a long way.

09:57Hasek coming in with the header.

09:59Gerry.

10:00A brighter start by the Austrians in this second half.

10:02And Czechoslovakia showing signs that they're just sitting on their lead a little.

10:06Job which is very small beer indeed.

10:10Alongside the mega salaries earned.

10:13Particularly in Italy.

10:15They call him the philosopher.

10:16He is in fact a doctor of philosophy.

10:18He'll be happy so far.

10:19It's still 1-0 to Czechoslovakia.

10:21Trying to work something out again here with Konofliček.

10:23Oh and that's a fine save.

10:25By Lindenberger.

10:30Shot was from Mravčík.

10:34Real corker too.

10:36Lindenberger did well.

10:41More TV advert breaks in.

10:43Notably in the United States which hosts the next World Cup.

10:47Personally I would find that idea pretty abhorrent.

10:50We'll get a view on that in a moment from Gerry as the play goes on.

10:52Still 1-0 to Czechoslovakia.

10:55Chance for Konofliček.

10:56Lindenberger only just made it.

11:00Mravčík trying to get in an opportunity as well.

11:03But Lindenberger certainly made hard work of that one.

11:06He seemed to go down too early.

11:08He's got a chance.

11:09He's got a chance.

11:10He's got a chance.

11:11He's got a chance.

11:12He's got a chance.

11:13He's got a chance.

11:14He's got a chance.

11:15He's got a chance.

11:16He's got a chance.

11:19He's got a chance.

11:20He's got a chance.

11:21He's got a chance.

11:22He's got a chance.

11:23He's got a chance.

11:26Here's Mravčík again.

11:28Across towards the far post.

11:29Those big defenders hooking it away.

11:33Petzl this time.

11:35And it really is a towering Austrian defence.

11:38They especially have brought Fefer in for his height for this game.

11:43That looked like a foul throw, and was. Ball was not thrown on the pitch.

11:53Up goes Polster for it, doesn't get his head to it.

11:57Policed out of it by about three Czechoslovak defenders.

12:04Kubik.

12:07Not long, and a real chance here for Weiss, the substitute, can he get his way through?

12:11Oh! It was a close thing in the end.

12:17For Lindenberger.

12:21Substitute showing some real pace there, Weiss.

12:42Well, here's another chance to see that.

12:47That they are seconds away from what looks rather suspiciously like elimination.

12:55I'll have to try and rescue it all against the Americans with a big win.

12:59Rodax.

13:02Polster's in there, away by Bielek, drops for Herzog, no it won't.

13:06Czechoslovak's got another vital foot in, now Petzl.

13:09And that is it, it's all over.

13:13Czechoslovakia will join Italy in the knockout stages of the World Cup.

13:19And Austria, unless they can come up with a very big win against America in their final group match, could be on their way home.

13:30The goal scored on the half an hour, a penalty from Mikel Bielek.

13:35Another booking at the end from Eichner, full-time score is 1-0.

13:41And it looks like there'll be more bookings, Eichner was booked right at the death there.

13:47The match ending in confusion.

13:51Join us again after the break.
