00:00First time in over 40 years as they laser in on a place in Europa League.
00:06Jensen's misjudged that, how costly is it going to be?
00:09The referee waving away the appeals and he's given it and Jensen gets his second yellow for that as well.
00:18And it goes. 1-0 on the night.
00:22Three-tier in aggregate and the Romanian champions have struck a hammer blow.
00:30Welcome back.
00:35Bucharest, Aberdeen making a couple of changes at the start of the second half here.
00:42Dante Polvara and Esther Sockler of the heroes last week have been sacrificed.
00:47Sivert Nielsen and Leighton Clarkson are going to come on.
00:52I have to say we've been watching several replays of the decision to award the penalty.
01:00It's an absolute shocker. I don't think there's any doubt about that.
01:03And even the Romanians around about us here in the stand are saying it was a disgraceful decision.
01:08I think the only people in the stadium that think it's a penalty kit is the referees and the VAR officials.
01:11The VAR certainly did.
01:13Because we're all looking at it and thinking, right, it's a contact.
01:15And, you know, if there was contact, as the boys say in the studio, then that's a straight red.
01:19You know, but to pull it back for a handball, I don't know what Jensen does with his hand there.
01:24I don't know how he gets that out of the way.
01:28Yeah, it's a desperate situation for Aberdeen there right at the end of the first half.
01:35And they are in a hole.
01:40But if you cast your minds back to the League Cup semi-final against Heberny in a couple of seasons ago, Aberdeen won that 1-0.
01:49They had to play a lot of that with 10 men.
01:52As FCSB get the second half underway, Aberdeen in the fight tonight, right to left.
02:02As they try and somehow have some kind of response to the adversity.
02:13No changes for the home team.
02:15The owner, Gigi Bicali, the FCSB owner, was very critical of the referee's performance last week.
02:29The Dutch official who sent off their man, Cisotti.
02:34He said, after the match, the referee quite clearly favoured Aberdeen.
02:41He's been redressed and some tonight.
02:45I think looking at the organisation, Aberdeen, they went same back four.
02:51Nielsen's obviously come in to sit in front of the back four.
02:54Clarkson to the left of him, Pala Versa to the right.
02:57And it looks like Aucicci and Keskin will play up as a front two.
03:00So, it's really positive.
03:02It is really positive.
03:03I just think it's important that Keskin is now going to have to stick.
03:07With Sokler being off, he's now going to be the one that has to stretch the game and make the runs that is kind of trademarked for Sokler.
03:14And now Cicci's got to be, you know, creative in terms of getting on the ball.
03:33Blackson.
03:34He's looking for Keskin.
03:36He's unlucky there.
03:40He's seen that pass.
03:41He executes that right.
03:42Keskin is in.
03:44He's got that in the walker late in Clarkson.
03:46He is.
03:46He's a really, really talented player.
03:53I'm going to work really hard.
03:55Aberdeen will not all get across the pitch together.
03:56It's cool significantly.
04:05As the city ticks through the evening, it was in the low 30s throughout the day.
04:16It will still be an energy-sapping second half for the Aberdeen players.
04:27Down a man.
04:28Down a goal.
04:28Down a goal.
04:39Now she chases.
04:43Devlin.
04:45It's a relatively comfortable one for Turnavanu.
04:48Yeah, where Aberdeen can be exposed, and this shape is in wide areas, so as a unit they're
04:55going to need to try and really, and it's hard work, they're going to have to work across
04:58as a unit, one side of the pitch to the other, and try and deny those 2v1 opportunities that
05:03the Bucharest team might get on them.
05:08And the shinny has moved to left-back for the second half.
05:11You're always running the risk, though, when you don't take advantage of the home leg,
05:26if it's the first leg.
05:28That's when you've got to try and make hay.
05:31And Aberdeen found themselves 2-0 down in the game last week.
05:35Rescued a draw.
05:39They're bang up against it.
05:40They're질 my ownário for, and misunderstanding.
05:51How new are they visiting?
05:52Maru Romang Torud stage.
06:10Oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:40Well, Mielsen's going to be in trouble here, potentially.
06:48You see the reaction.
06:50Michalescu, when he went down.
06:5650-50 there.
06:59When you see the replay, yes, it's a free kick.
07:02No further action required.
07:04No, not a lot in that for me, but just when I see Aberdeen are in possession,
07:08I've seen Kessman coming to World War II, I think it has to go the other way.
07:10I think she's the one that has to come to the ball in case they can try and stretch things
07:14and give them a threat in behind.
07:16It's Kretzu.
07:30It's Kretzu.
07:34And Gielsen holding his man off there.
07:47He's got a loose ball out of defence by Mitov.
07:53A loose ball out of defence by Mitov.
08:07Michalescu!
08:08I'm just wondering if Mitov got a little touch on that.
08:15Bouncing off the post.
08:17Shoot!
08:22Surely wraps things up.
08:24You cannot see a way back for Aberdeen now.
08:26It's an outstanding strike.
08:32No, Madri and shoot.
08:35And FCSB are two up against the ten men.
08:43Just seem to go right through Mitov.
08:45Yes, it's a wee bit, you know, the ball out of Mitov's untidy,
08:49they get a hold of it, they get into that area,
08:51and the first one to get lucky, I think, comes off the post,
08:53but that's a tremendous strike.
08:54I just think, if anything, if the Aberdeen can get closer to him,
08:57you know, get out and get a wee bit of pressure on the ball,
08:59but listen, take nothing away,
09:01and the strike's outstanding,
09:01there's so much movement on the ball there.
09:03It's a really, really clean strike and a great finish.
09:08Brilliant goal.
09:10No answer to class, when it comes along,
09:14the Aberdeen work.
09:16And in the back,
09:19they can get a little bit of pressure on the ball,
09:21and they can get a little bit of pressure on the ball,
09:23but listen, take nothing away from the strikes.
09:25There's so much movement on the ball,
09:26it's a really, really clean strike,
09:27and a great finish.
09:28It's a brilliant goal.
09:29because of what went on at the end of the first half
09:32and what's going on at the start of the second
09:35has surely ended their Europa League dream.
09:38I've got to keep going.
09:40The thing I really liked about Aberdeen tonight was their balance.
09:43In the middle of the pitch when they had 11,
09:45it was Shinri walking to the left, Pala Versa walking to the left.
09:48It was a real good balance about the team,
09:50and that's obviously now been affected by going down to ten men.
09:52They've just got to dig in, but they've just got to keep going,
09:54try and keep possession of the ball, get control of it,
09:57work hard to deny space in these wide areas for Bucharest.
10:02Just try and stay in the game.
10:09Yeah, because this could get away from them
10:11pretty badly and pretty quickly.
10:13That's the worry, that's the worry,
10:15but they've definitely got experience in the pitch,
10:17knowing the former Shane Nielsen now in Devlin,
10:20trying to make sure that at every occasion
10:23you're making good decisions,
10:25trying to stop the opposition, as you say,
10:27getting opportunities to really, really hurt you.
10:33The disappointment will be all the more bitter,
10:35because Aberdeen performed pretty well,
10:37particularly in that opening 30 minutes.
10:42They've got to keep their discipline here as well, Tony, don't they?
10:44Yeah, but again, I don't see a lot in that.
10:47I think the referees are having a free kick there.
10:49I don't see it back, but I don't see a lot in it.
10:51I see the Bucharest players throwing themselves to the floor,
10:54and a difficult period at the moment for Aberdeen,
10:57but they've got to really try their best,
10:59use the experience they've got on the pitch to get through it.
11:01It's looking like the conference lead for Aberdeen.
11:03It's looking like the conference lead for Aberdeen.
11:07It's looking like the conference lead for Aberdeen.
11:29He played in that tournament two seasons ago.
11:40It's been an ugly week for Scottish football.
11:43Is it about to get a whole lot worse here?
11:47Michalescu...
11:49...manages to keep Terrace's effort out.
11:54Oh, position just exposing him a little bit there.
11:59Particularly in these wide areas, Devils pushed on,
12:01they're getting into that wide left position,
12:03but good possession from Dame in the middle of the pitch.
12:06Good save, Michalescu gets a hand on that,
12:08I don't know if it's going in,
12:09but he gets a good hand on it to turn it behind.
12:11He might have been hitting the post, I think,
12:13but he doesn't know anything about that,
12:15and he does well to keep it out.
12:21It's half-time in Poland,
12:23Legia one,
12:25Ibsenel three-one in aggregate.
12:38You can just feel it, Liam,
12:39the atmosphere's been cranked up here,
12:41the home fans are smelling blood a little bit here,
12:44and Aberdeen have just got to make sure they keep their discipline,
12:46don't get dragged out into areas and work hard to try and deny space.
12:50It is hard work, but they've got to really put in the effort as much as they can.
12:55The thing is, these FCSV players will want to turn it on tonight,
12:59because they've been so poor in their league, out of the Champions League as well,
13:05beaten by Shkendia of North Macedonia, who Aberdeen played.
13:09What would that be?
13:12It was maybe ten, eleven years ago now, when you guys took Shkendia on.
13:18So they're going to want to turn it on tonight just to prove that they're a good side,
13:23and to try and get the confidence levels up going into their next league match.
13:28They're doing that, and they're identifying where there's space in the pitch,
13:31and they're getting those switches of play,
13:33keeping good possession in the middle of the pitch, and here it is again.
13:36If they keep doing this, they're really, really going to...
13:38It's going to be difficult for Aberdeen, they're really exposing them and trying to...
13:41They're opening up gaps, you know, and getting the ball from side to side,
13:44and it's as difficult as it is for Aberdeen, they've got to just keep trying to work hard and deny that space,
13:49but you see the opposition have worked out how they're going to exploit the weaknesses.
13:56First, it's ignored.
13:58First, it's ignored.
14:01Two, three, four, five!
14:03Two, three, four, five.
14:04Footwork by Olaru.
14:19To Nassi he's stalk, and shoot,
14:25He got that second goal, spectacularly so.
14:51And there's that pocket of space again, Olaru.
14:55Olaru!
14:57Olaru!
15:00Olaru!
15:02Olaru!
15:03Olaru!
15:06Olaru!
15:07Olaru!
15:08And they do look a different team now, you know,
15:10Bucharest are doing what you should do,
15:12they're getting controlled possession and getting those switches of plays,
15:14and it's the next one after they switch it,
15:16that's where gaps start appearing with Aberdeen and that's where they can get opportunities to get in.
15:20Wilson gives it away, that's not going to help, here's Krejci.
15:23Here's Krejci.
15:26And there's number three!
15:29Olaru!
15:30Olaru!
15:31Olaru!
15:33Olaru!
15:34Pounces!
15:35Nielsen punished!
15:38Olaru!
15:39Olaru!
15:40And 3-0 down in Bucharest!
15:43He's looking completely helpless.
15:58I just wonder if I'm going to go to the taxi as he's playing the windstriker
16:01and brought him a substitute and make it a bit stronger in midfield just now
16:07because I do think when you get to this stage there's 30 minutes to get me go.
16:10That is probably a bit of damage limitation now.
16:18Well, it just goes from bad to worse.
16:27Not just for Aberdeen, for Scottish football.
16:29It's been an abysmal couple of weeks on the European stage.
16:36There's the owner, Di Kali.
16:44And if it wasn't game over at two, it surely is at three.
16:48And tie over.
16:49But as we saw with Rangers last night against Club Brugge, it can get quite messy.
16:59Yeah, and I'm sure Jimmy will be thinking about that, but maybe doing that,
17:02just playing with the one playing in that kind of 4-4-1 formation, you know,
17:06and maybe trying to extend the flow a little bit.
17:08I think it's important you stop the bleeding as best you can.
17:11There's still a third of this match to play.
17:15It's been a feature in Aberdeen season.
17:17Yes, they've been done in by a contentious, very contentious refereeing decision.
17:27But sloppy passing has been an issue for them.
17:31And they haven't played too many games this season, as we know.
17:34But in the games they have played, mistakes, unforced errors.
17:36And some of them are getting punished.
17:38They certainly get punished for that one there.
17:39Nielsen giving away possession there, but it's hard.
17:54The players are working so hard against the ball that when you get it it's important you get that,
18:03and you try and keep possession and get control of the game,
18:06but it seems to happen when you lose it like that.
18:09I mean, he loses it in the middle of the pitch here,
18:11and then again, as they've done, they exploit the weaknesses,
18:14and it's a deflection that actually goes in,
18:16but it's important that you do, as you say,
18:18try and keep possession of these instances here.
18:24Now she's...
18:27Nobody there.
18:33It's only gonna get harder for Scottish clubs to...
18:39get into these European tournaments going forward.
18:43Results like the country has been getting
18:48in the last fortnight are symptomatic of the issues
18:54and where the coefficient stands right now.
18:57It's only headed one way.
18:59In the end of this season, we'll see the points drop off
19:13from the season that Rangers got to the Europa League final.
19:16Here's another ball giving away Pala Versa this time.
19:27Free kick.
19:33As Pala Versa tried to make up for his error.
19:37And smiles all round for the Romanians.
19:42I think if you're being realistic, I suppose,
19:44if there is a slight crumb of comfort,
19:56that Aberdeen, you would think, would have a better chance
19:59of winning matches in the Conference League than the Europa League.
20:01And you would think Celtic and Rangers would have a better chance
20:04of winning matches in the Europa League than the Champions League,
20:07if you're looking for some kind of slither of comfort.
20:10That's your optimistic view to take it out, you know,
20:13that realistic chance of winning more games in that way.
20:16And hopefully we can reflect on the season,
20:18we'll get some success from European runs of clubs.
20:22Poor delivery this time by Radunovic.
20:30He could be in again here.
20:32Nikolescu has been a constant problem for Aberdeen down this near side.
20:37Radunovic.
20:46No harm done this time.
20:50It must be so tough whether you're, particularly if you're playing out there,
20:54even you're a man down.
20:56If you're the manager, what do you do?
20:58How do you go about motivating your players?
21:00When you're 3-0 down, you're a man down.
21:03It's a hopeless situation.
21:05How do you motivate them to give you that extra yard that you need
21:09to ensure that there's damage limitation here?
21:12I'm not sure you can actually, once a game's happening,
21:14you can motivate them when they're on the pitch,
21:16but you can help them tactically.
21:17And I think Jimmy's now doing that.
21:19I see two subs like Milanovic and Jenger coming on.
21:22And I think, I suspect that's what he's going to do.
21:25He's going to go into more of a 4-4-1 shape and try and get a wee bit more control
21:29because you can see that now that Bucharest have really,
21:32they look a good side now, you know,
21:34and they've exploited when Aberdeen went down to ten men.
21:36They've played the game the way you should against ten men,
21:38and they really have exposed Aberdeen,
21:40and it's tough out there for them.
21:41It really is tough, but to answer that, you know,
21:44Jimmy's trying to help them now by making tactical changes
21:46that will allow them to try and get a wee bit more control in the game.
21:49Ketsu, that's a brilliant ball, at least it almost was.
21:57Berlija couldn't quite get it into his stride.
22:00They've actually kept Berlija relatively quiet this evening.
22:05Not that it's mattered.
22:11Keskinen will come off.
22:14And Milanovic will replace him with Yengi.
22:21Coming on for Pala Versa for the last 25 minutes.
22:27It's going to feel like a long 25 minutes
22:31if you're of an Aberdeen persuasion.
22:43Quick turnaround as well, Aberdeen,
22:45they're going to be looking to win a league game for the first time this season
22:48when they welcomed Falkirk to Pataudri on Sunday.
22:56Lost their two openers.
23:14As I mentioned, Aberdeen in action on Sunday.
23:16There are a few premiership matches taking place on Saturday.
23:20And you'll get the highlights of them on sports scene
23:23right here on the BBC Scotland Channel 7.15 on Saturday evening.
23:28Highlights of Sundays to come as well.
23:3124 hours later, including the Aberdeen game.
23:34Mitov claims comfortably this time.
23:38From Olaru.
23:42Two of them tonight.
23:44Three across the tie.
23:46A 5-2 aggregate lead.
23:52Tilline sign up for a 3-0 defeat right now.
24:06Yeah, well, I think you'll be hoping they can get a goal back.
24:10You know, so if they keep it at a three and trying, you know,
24:13stay in the game, get an opportunity, get one goal back.
24:16Just making it that way going into the last of the final embers of the game.
24:20Nice flick by Ousey. Here's Devlin.
24:32It's at a cross. Not sure what the goalkeeper was doing there.
24:35And that's going to be a corner.
24:37Far from convincing Tornavanu.
24:39Would have been interesting to see had he been tested more.
24:43Not just tonight, but across the tie.
24:45Yeah, and I think watching them previously coming into this tie,
24:48that's something that we've been really poor at.
24:50You know, particularly defending crosses and things.
24:52You've seen Soppeler's chance in the first half.
24:53Things coming off the goalkeeper and...
24:55You know, somebody just has to drop to an Aberdeen player
24:58and they get a goal and get back.
25:05Now she's with the corner.
25:10There's Clarkson.
25:11There's a good ball in as well with the header from Canusta.
25:16That's held on to by Tornavanu.
25:18It's an effort on goal at least.
25:21Great delivery again, Leighton Clarkson.
25:22He's got that in his locker.
25:23He was a brilliant, you know, just cross into that area.
25:27Now he does well, get something on it.
25:29Just not enough on it, not enough pace on it.
25:31But this is Devlin, you know, good attacking player.
25:34And as you say, it comes off the goalkeeper.
25:36They're fortunate it drops the defender there.
25:38But that'll give them that wee bit of encouragement.
25:40Give them a wee bit of breathing, get back into their shape as well.
25:42Give them a wee bit of breathing, get back into their shape as well.
25:47Oh sheesh, fouled and yellow card flashed at Tenasi.
25:48A bit of work still to be done in the transfer window.
25:50It's only got a few days remaining.
25:51It's only got a few days remaining.
25:52For Aberdeen.
25:53For Aberdeen.
25:54A bit of work still to be done in the transfer window.
25:55It's only got a few days remaining.
25:56For Aberdeen.
25:57Sheeden Morris on the way out.
25:58Sheeden Morris on the way out.
25:59Sheeden Morris on the way out.
26:00Sheeden Morris on the way out.
26:31got up their sleeve with incomings because it's going to be crucial to their season.
26:38Short in one or two areas.
26:42Devlin wins the header.
26:44And Kretu puts it behind for another Aberdeen corner.
26:49This is their best spell since the goals started raining in.
26:54Yeah, and a goal here from a set player can just give them that wee bit more belief.
26:57Certainly in the last couple of minutes, as you say, they've had a couple of good attacks.
27:00So, chance of converting something here.
27:02Now she doesn't beat the first man.
27:07The goalkeeper's committed himself.
27:18That's enough.
27:20Wiped out Alexandru as well.
27:23It's Milanovic.
27:28He's trying to squeeze it through to Devlin.
27:40He's asking a lot of the veteran shinny's produced his classic move there.
27:47He's getting his body in.
27:51He's getting his body.
27:57He's getting his body.
27:59He's getting her head.
28:01He's going to shape their mindset and leadership so he can't solve the gap for men.
28:02He's getting a lot of the kto Da draw.
28:03He...
28:04Yeah.
28:05He's getting caught.
28:06This is especie of didn't clip.
28:08It's like he needs to put him on their arm, but he'll hit them on their nashira...
28:10It was actually shaping up to be a really fascinating match when it was 11 against 11.
28:26The red car clearly kills the game, the competitive nature of it.
28:32All the momentum, I do think I would need more for the better team.
28:40She's trying to return it to Milanovic.
28:47Guarding the back was Radunovic.
28:51He's put the turn by Popescu out there.
28:55The centre back.
29:00Hold on the chest by Michelezcu and the home fans enjoyed that.
29:06Aberdeen are going to bring Alfie Dorrington on for the final 17 and a half minutes as it is of the 90.
29:21Second half back underway in Warsaw.
29:24Hibs trailing Legia, 1-0 in the night.
29:273-1 in aggregate.
29:29Hibs two behind, Aberdeen three behind.
29:34Hibs two behind, Aberdeen three behind.
29:43Hibs two behind, Aberdeen three behind.
29:49Yeah, I thought the noise that I watched him there, that last ball that was in the box here, he took a knock.
29:54And I think he was struggling at that little bit, so obviously, not taking any chances with him bringing on a straight-to-play player.
30:01A straight-to-placement in Dorrington in Dorrington.
30:16There a canoe start comes off.
30:31But, Michelezcu was about to break into Diego Maradona's famous warm-up before that first match of the 1990 World Cup.
30:42The ball was bobbling on his shoulder there.
30:46Dorrington on loan from Spars.
30:50Return for a second loan spell, and to Taudry.
31:17Well, the outcome of this comes with that big asterisk to decide it.
31:21Because of that red card for Jensen.
31:23And the double jeopardy with the penalty conceded as well.
31:26And clearly, Yemi Tallin will speak about that post-match.
31:31You would imagine that will be the dominant feature of his interview.
31:36And so it should be, Liam, because it's absolutely changed the dynamic of this game.
31:49It was a really competitive, good football match, two good teams.
31:52Aberdeen gave me a really good balance about them.
31:54And I thought on the balance of play they looked like a better team.
31:56I know they did get that wee bit sloppy just towards the end.
31:59But it changed what was a really good and entertaining game.
32:02And, you know, sort of a decision that I don't really agree with.
32:05But that will be the main talking point because it's just nothing like.
32:09It doesn't resemble the game that it was in the first half when it was competitive.
32:13It was a big opportunity early on for Esther Sockler as well, wasn't it?
32:21When it broke back to him right in front of goal.
32:24Yeah, a couple of good opportunities, Sockler's chance to win that
32:30Tovara heads back for that.
32:32Chichi have the shot and the power of that Tovara header as well.
32:37So the balance of play they weren't getting into good areas.
32:54That's a good switch.
33:22To Nasi.
33:27To Nasi.
33:29To Nasi.
33:31Shoot.
33:52You're right.
33:53Yeah, please.
33:54Yeah.
33:55Yeah.
33:56You won't definitely be that petit match.
33:58Yeah.
33:59Go see it pinned down.
34:00Yeah,じゃあ I soll date.
34:01Yeah.
34:02I will have the bottom line.
34:03Look over that.
34:05All of them.
34:06Они should bepaunted.
34:08So I guess it's time to read it.
34:09They're not at the end of this January.
34:10You're going to see the spoiler yet now that is Bob Thatcher is not gonna go apply.
34:14Yeah.
34:15So I have a year ago.
34:17Oh.
34:19Yeah.
34:20That's when you're up.
34:21I feel like TV guy이다.

34:52He'll try to find number four, breaks down the feet of Tanasy.
