00:00Jack Charlton has gone back to the tried, trusted and tested, there's only one change from the line-up that he put out for the opening game against the Italians, arguably their best performance. Gary Kelly is preferred to Dennis Irwin, who's been finding the heat quite difficult to live with.
00:22So, away we go on this match in the round of the last 16, and no one, surely, with an Irish passport will need reminding what happened four years ago in the round of the last 16. Certainly this man won't. He made the vital penalty save from Timofti, and David O'Leary scored the winning goal in the penalty competition.
00:52Ireland attacked the goal to our left.
00:58And the first free-kick is to Jack Charlton's voice.
01:04It's Palux, Gwijkard and Koeman.
01:13Plenty joining the queue on the far side from the kicker, including Paul McGrath and Phil Babb.
01:22Tommy Coyne is the furthest forward, just gets back on sides.
01:28Massive players forward, he got a deflection, and that's a corner.
01:33Good strike by Steve Staunton.
01:36Yes, a very good strike by Steve Staunton.
01:39As it happens, Ireland's free-kicks haven't been too good in the tournament so far, but he struck that very well.
01:44Van Vossen, right side.
01:54And he gets away from Fieland, he's got Bergkamp up, he's got Van Vossen, he's got Overmars up on the other side.
02:00A little bit lucky to escape then, Ireland.
02:06Yeah, tremendous play by Van Vossen, he made a difference when he came into the team against Morocco.
02:12He's gone past Terry Fieland there, and he's pulled the perfect ball back for Overmars, who really made a mess of the strike.
02:17Ireland got away with that.
02:18You've joined us a little late, you've missed just over ten minutes.
02:27I haven't missed anything that someone will need to tell you about, I don't think.
02:31One escape perhaps by the Irish.
02:33One good free-kick.
02:34Here's Overmars, Babb can't get to him, it's Bergkamp!
02:42It's that man again.
02:43Dutch celebration, and the man who unhinged England, now gets the first goal against the Republic of Ireland in the round of the last 16.
03:01Break on the right by Overmars, his pace counted, lovely finish.
03:05Yeah, it really was a dreadful error from Terry Fieland, he left his pass short to Babb.
03:10He's already talked about the pace of Overmars, he got away from Babb, just squared it across to Bergkamp, and he doesn't miss them.
03:19Bad mistake for Terry Fieland.
03:30No reaction on the face of Mr. Charlton and Setters.
03:34I don't think Fieland will need telling what he did wrong.
03:40I don't think Fieland will need to tell you about it, but it's not a particularly good clearance, and the shot was from Roy Keane.
04:01Well, you can see any time that Ireland get the ball into the Dutch box, they're not very comfortable.
04:15Roy Keane just got underneath his shot there.
04:17Space for Bergkamp.
04:24Back to him, Rijkaard moving into the box.
04:28And here he is, and just couldn't take it.
04:32Good tackle by Kelly.
04:34For the second time, Van Vossen tries to make something out of nothing.
04:39But Rijkaard will certainly be disappointed, he's run there at the bottom of the picture.
04:43But he just couldn't get to it.
04:46It's the last game.
04:50Bergkamp, a bit short, picked up by Sheridan.
04:53Coyne is forward.
04:54The others are all square.
04:57Townsend.
04:59Houghton to the right.
05:00Good pace from Townsend.
05:01Good running by Keane!
05:02Just didn't get cleanly hold of the shot.
05:09Yeah, that's good play from the Irish.
05:11Good build-up in midfield.
05:13Positive play from Townsend.
05:15Slip Keane.
05:16In down to channel.
05:18But Roy Keane never really get hold of a shot.
05:22Well played.
05:23Keane.
05:24The pass was behind him.
05:28Coyne does well.
05:29So does Townsend to see the possibilities.
05:30Working very hard, the Irish captain.
05:34And here's Houghton.
05:37And again they look fallible at the back.
05:43Staunton.
05:45Too high.
05:48No, too high from Steve Staunton.
05:50And not the right decision.
05:52Tommy Coyne had spun away to the back post.
05:55He had John Sheridan in behind him.
05:56This is the earlier cross from Andy Townsend.
06:00Ray Houghton just...
06:03All he could do was flick it on and hope for the best.
06:06Down in midfield.
06:08Always fear the quick break.
06:09Kelly.
06:18Horses across.
06:19Good shot by Overmars.
06:24Well, you called it right there, Barry.
06:27Talked about a quick break.
06:29Ireland lost possession in midfield.
06:30With two passes, they're up around the Irish box.
06:34Overmars shot to central.
06:35No trouble for Bonner.
06:42Last five minutes of the first half.
06:44The only goal coming in the 11th minute.
06:47Scored by Dennis Bergkamp.
06:53Good play by Beam Young.
06:55Goes for the shot this time.
06:57Oh!
06:58Bad Bonner!
06:59Oh dear, oh dear.
07:07The hero four years ago makes a sad error.
07:12That time Beam Young made up his mind he was going to go for the shot.
07:17But it was a shot which should not have found its way home.
07:21That is a real signal.
07:23Four minutes from half-time.
07:24Yeah, absolute tragedy for Ireland.
07:28The last five minutes had seen them come back into the game.
07:32Young's made a good break in the middle of the park.
07:34He's hit a shot that Pat Bonner should have saved.
07:40He knows it.
07:44It was speculative more than anything.
07:47And it's ended up in the back of the Irish net.
07:52Eddie McGoldrish's expression said a lot.
07:56Jack Charlton with words to say.
07:58And his team with a lot to do.
08:16And the half-time whistle goes.
08:19And it's a good story for Dick Hatfuka.
08:23Disappointing one so far for Jack Charlton.
08:25He would have lived with the one goal against in the 11th minute by Dennis Bergkamp.
08:33The second one, sadly, was a gift from Pat Bonner.
08:37And he has got to find the half-time talk of his international career.
08:43At half-time, Netherlands-Holland lead by two goals to nil.
08:47Well, there's been no substitutions from the Irish team.
08:54But I think they don't score in the first 10 or 15 minutes of the second half.
08:59It won't be long before we see maybe John Aldridge or Jason McAteer.
09:09Murray makes his first clearance.
09:11Has not been tested as yet.
09:14Two things have gone in front of him, but he hasn't had to make a save.
09:17Roy Keane, free kick.
09:24Snake of hands for the man.
09:26Who knows when to make sure someone doesn't go past him.
09:30That's Graham Taylor.
09:32Knows to his and England's cost.
09:39Shooting opportunity here.
09:41Steve Staunton is on the ball.
09:43Sheridan is behind him.
09:44Roy Keane to his right.
09:46As to who he organizes the wall.
09:49Which has six in it.
09:54Pollock's wants to attack the ball.
09:56So Townsend is in his line of fire.
09:59And here's Keane.
10:02It was the man attacking the ball who got there.
10:04But it's not away yet.
10:06Till the referee spots another infringement.
10:08Linesman's flag didn't go up.
10:09And gives a free kick to Holland.
10:13Running chase by Townsend.
10:18He's asked to do so again.
10:20Does well.
10:22Staunton.
10:23Only two in the middle though.
10:24Here's Houghton.
10:30The fact that there were only two in the middle.
10:32Came to him and he got underneath it.
10:34And up it went.
10:36Tremendous cross from Steve Staunton here.
10:39Swung over at the Gouie.
10:41Ray Houghton did well.
10:43Got in front of his marker.
10:45But unfortunately he got underneath the ball.
10:47That was a real chance for Ireland.
10:51Kelly.
10:54Kelly and Keane a bit too close to each other then.
10:56There was no room for Kelly to make the break.
10:59Free kick quickly taken.
11:00Coyne trying to hold it up.
11:03And does so successfully.
11:04Fannock's is suddenly finding him a hound for it.
11:06Played it on the near post.
11:07And again it's Ray Houghton who is nearest.
11:09Good play from Tommy Coyne here.
11:18Fed Roy Keane and it's a great cross into the near post.
11:22Yeah.
11:22Tremendous play by Gary Kelly.
11:24What pace he's got there.
11:25Van Vossen is really really quick.
11:26But Kelly outstripped him to get to that ball.
11:29Sheridan.
11:34McAteer.
11:36Takes on his man.
11:37Goes past the bar.
11:38Everything now to his left.
11:40And here's Townsend.
11:41And here's Houghton.
11:42The Irish are not out of this yet.
11:49What a difference.
11:51Got him behind the man.
11:53Got him the cross.
11:55Wasn't the most powerful shot of all time.
11:57But at least Dehuy has to get down.
12:00And put it in.
12:01That's Carino wide.
12:02Surely Ireland don't want him there.
12:04They want him down the middle.
12:08Vinter.
12:10Chase for over miles.
12:12Roy gets into the area.
12:14Bergkamp hangs back.
12:18Jönk was on his left foot.
12:20Bergkamp doesn't mind which he's on.
12:22Goes for the curler.
12:23Gets the block.
12:25And an absolute sitter.
12:28Is missed.
12:30By the substitute Brown Roy.
12:33Yes.
12:34You almost knew what Dennis Bergkamp was going to do.
12:36Just fainted a goal left.
12:37Brought it back on his right foot.
12:42Jack Charlton and Morissetta's look on.
12:46As that opportunity was wasted by Holland.
12:50As Carino.
12:54As Carino.
12:55In the.
12:57To the right of the center position.
12:59Now makes the run.
13:00Across.
13:01Adjusts.
13:01A little click down for Bab.
13:03And it was a chance.
13:11Time to run across.
13:12Will Cascarino was well found.
13:14Good running by Bab.
13:15Couldn't find the shot.
13:17To match it.
13:17Good attempt.
13:18But he couldn't put it back enough.
13:19First they were.
13:23Almost too arrogant.
13:24The second one.
13:26Rensombring hit the post.
13:28And Argentina won the day.
13:30McGrath forward.
13:32But the.
13:34Whistle is gone.
13:36And the goal does not stand.
13:37Rijkaard holding his head.
13:42Jack Charlton.
13:44Looks to the heavens.
13:46Which on this particular day.
13:47Have not been able to provide him with the inspiration.
13:50It's been disallowed for dangerous play.
13:52When he won the ball in the first case.
13:54The boot carried on.
13:55And caught Rijkaard.
13:57And that's why the referee.
13:58Has wiped out the score.
14:00There.
14:01Is why he blew.
14:02Tremendous skill from Paul McGrath.
14:03But he did raise his.
14:06His boot high.
14:09Ireland really haven't had a break in this match.
14:13We kick against a very tired Frank Du Boer.
14:19Last seconds.
14:21Score then said 2-1.
14:23But it's not.
14:24It's 2-0.
14:26For the Netherlands.
14:28Local.
14:29Score capture man.
14:31Must have.
14:32Irish descendants.
14:32Good punch by the hooey.
14:34Kept his eye on the ball.
14:35And the free kick anyway.
14:36Given for the challenge by Cascarino.
14:41Show that this slim man.
14:43How good he is with crosses.
14:46But this tall giraffe.
14:47As he used to be called.
14:48Is going to go away from here.
14:51Disappointed.
14:55To a great deal of Dutch singing.
14:58The Irish story of 94 is coming to an end.
15:03Castorino.
15:04The Irish story of 94 is coming to an end.
15:06Castorino.
15:07To help.
15:12Keane.
15:14Roy.
15:14McGrath.
15:24McGrath.
15:25Wanted to keep it in play.
15:27Without using Bonner.
15:28Feelin'.
15:29Well they can feel proud the way they played.
15:38This tournament.
15:39The Irish team.
15:41I just feel that's the lack of that inspirational player up front.
15:44Somebody who can make a goal out of nothing.
15:47They don't have one.
15:48Newman eventually fouled by Kelly.
15:58Another sign of frustration.
16:00For the youngster.
16:03Yeah.
16:04Newman stays down.
16:05Sorry Barry.
16:05I think he knows it's over now.
16:08And there's obviously a certain amount of frustration amongst the Irish players.
16:12It was one of the few silly challenges that the lad has made.
16:21He's had a good game today at right back.
16:25Barry is happy that Newman is okay.
16:27And says come on we're going to go on with play.
16:29The last seconds.
16:31Smile on the face of Jack Charlton.
16:34Bergkamp back to Rijkaard.
16:37To Roy.
16:38Good save.
16:41Very good stop by Pat Bonner.
16:43Academic.
16:45But he wishes he could swap the two saves of this half.
16:49To make up for the error.
16:51Just before half-time.
16:53Yes he's made two very good saves this second half.
16:57Saves that were a lot harder than the goalie conceded.
17:05Bergkamp.
17:07Just holds it in the corner.
17:08And the referee ends the Ireland story.
17:17And signals the continuation of the Dutch story.
17:21How far.
17:23How far.
17:23How far.
