00:01Well, good evening wherever you are on this most pleasant evening.
00:05As you can see there's been a terrific atmosphere here, there is great expectation, excitement
00:10and it has built nicely in these idyllic conditions.
00:14Conditions which are certainly playing their part in creating a glorious ambience.
00:19It's quite a struggle to get in here, points of access hard to come by
00:24and an awful lot of people gathering to get through the gates
00:27but regardless of that there's a great feel here and much excitement for the game ahead.
00:36And nobody in this atmosphere can hide from the truth about how much this game matters.
00:42The scene overflows with colour and passion.
00:57The information we've been given is that they're going to go with a 3-5-2.
01:01Well the formation that was once the staple diet of the Italian game still holds its place.
01:08To be honest Peter, had I gone on to be a coach this would have been my preferred set up.
01:14I think it can serve us many different approaches and it can add numbers quite quickly at either end of the pitch.
01:20With the right talent this can be a thriving structure.
01:39And we're on the way.
01:41That is not the best ball.
01:51That's what has had a energetic look.
01:53The movement was good but the past lacked authority.
01:56A cause of mild frustration.
02:03This interception, his positioning was spot on.
02:06It's good running with the ball.
02:11Oh red, nice interception.
02:23Bye.
02:31Elliot.
02:37Turns back here.
02:38Probably the best option.
02:46Now shot and goal!
02:48It's run loose.
02:49Who's going to get there?
02:52Bamba.
02:53Now who's going to be first to this?
03:07Anything Jim to pick out of these early exchanges?
03:11Well neither side has really grabbed the initiative I would say.
03:14Both must have come in with a view of not making any early mistakes.
03:18So we're seeing some conservatism here.
03:23Oh he's found support out wide.
03:24And the keepers in command.
03:29And the keepers in command.
03:38Barlow.
03:40So we're still where we started right now.
03:41So we're still where we started right now.
03:42The man is not the best ball.
03:43And the offers an apologetic look.
03:44Encouraged the pass with an intelligent run.
03:45But the pass is not the best ball.
03:46He's not the best ball.
03:47And the offers an apologetic look.
03:48Encouraged the pass with an intelligent run.
03:49But the pass just lacked pace.
03:50And the pass is not the best ball.
03:51And the offers an apologetic look.
03:52Encouraged the pass with an intelligent run.
03:53But the pass just lacked pace.
03:54And the pass is not the best ball.
03:55And the offers an apologetic look.
03:56And the rush is not the best ball.
04:05And the offers an apologetic look.
04:06Encouraged the pass with an intelligent run.
04:09But the pass just lacked pace.
04:11But the past is like pace
04:20Color skill
04:28Let's call this hill
04:32Chuck
04:34I think he's doing great there both reading it and dealing with it
05:04Made out towards the right wing
05:10And the finish
05:19Well it's taken a big deflection but boy he will want that one
05:34Oh
05:56Deadlock broken it's one mill
05:59Yeah, and they know there's plenty of work left in this one pizza before they can actually say
06:03That the job is over
06:15And that has left him in a heat
06:17He's going to be pulled back for that one
06:20Referee has resisted the temptation to go to his pocket. It's just a stern lecture
06:33Oh
06:50And he's forced to go back
06:53Oh good spread
06:55Well that tackle was certainly sturdy
07:04The question that's a foul
07:06Well, you might think he got off lightly. It is just a verbal warning
07:10Cleared away
07:30Cleared away
07:31He's going to be disappointed with that.
07:47Griffey's given a throw.
07:57Farrell.
07:58Okay, being behind at the break isn't ideal,
08:04but there's plenty of time to reply.
08:10Approaching half-climb and still behind.
08:13Can they make something happen now?
08:22Showing good feet.
08:23Well, the defence proved infallible then,
08:35but that won't be the last they'll see of him.
08:41Opps for safety.
08:42No, no way through there.
08:54Oh, that's a key interception.
08:57Carlos Gil.
08:58Well, yet another interception and a show of anticipation to be commended.
09:09He's got to be in.
09:10Decent hit.
09:11It's a goal.
09:12A two-goal cushion, and it's looking safe.
09:23And he stuck it away as if laser-guided.
09:27He had the whole picture in his head, Peter.
09:29He didn't even look at the goalkeeper.
09:30Yeah.
09:32Father!
09:34Bye.
09:36See you guys.
09:42See you guys.
09:44Bye!
09:53Bye!
09:54Bye!
09:56Bye!
09:57Bye!
09:57Bye!
09:57Bye!
09:57Bye!
10:00Bye!
10:00So that's two now without reply
10:11We're looking at a very different game now
10:14The command has been established
10:16And the first 45 minutes are up
10:21Reflections on the first half
10:23Well it's looking pretty straightforward Peter
10:25They've got themselves into a very good position
10:27So why dither from here when they can repeat their first half success
10:31With another show of strength
10:33Whistle goes and we start the second half
10:40Look before they might get too carried away
10:44With thoughts of getting back into the game
10:46They can't afford to slip up and concede another
10:49The next goal becomes crucial
10:51Clearly not happy with that
10:56Played out to the right
11:08Defending all the desperate variety
11:12By
11:15Pass is coming off in quick succession here
11:26By
11:28Oh it's played into the area
11:38Crossed in once more
11:50Really looked sharp there didn't he?
12:13That's very well played
12:14Gets good distance on it
12:36Still no way through
12:43The defending here is resolute
12:45Oh look how he finished
12:51He scored
12:53High quality goal
12:59Lovely first touch
13:01Sumptuous second
13:02Thank you for the
13:33This is threatening to become a really good game. Our scoring early in this half just takes the pressure off now
13:40and allows them a chance to be a bit more patient, can try to level things up.
13:46Passing is crisp and sharp.
13:51Unless they can devise a quick counter-attacking plan, they're going to need to see much more of this ball.
14:02College Guild.
14:32He's in a good position here, driving on and making good progress, calmly anticipates, hoisted upfield by the keeper
14:54That's nice, Bamba
15:14Now it's Bamba, it might look promising but the final ball is just not quite right
15:25Well this is exactly the approach they have to take now, Peter
15:29This is a really front-footed approach
15:31You know, the interest value in this game might just take off from here
15:44Palace Hill
15:46Turns back here, probably the best option
15:55Almost 75 minutes on the clock now
16:14Now here's a good battle, bicep to bicep
16:24Whatever happens, that's the kind of movement which raises hope
16:30They may end up with some regret with this tactic, but you have to admire their commitment to goals
16:39Looking for options for movements
16:45Keep calm and carry on, that's the German in a nutshell now
16:51Good spot, he's seen the run
17:00Gets into some space
17:02Shapes the suit
17:04He scores
17:06That is simply top draw
17:13Beautifully served up
17:15And deliciously finished
17:17It's a really, really good goal
17:19And not just the way he finished it
17:21He had to read the whole situation as it developed
17:23There's going to be another change here
17:52So the lead now is two
17:59So the lead now is two
18:03Muller
18:13Muller
18:14And he's forced to go back
18:21And he's forced to go back
18:23No, that's been intercepted
18:29Chance to shoot now
18:42And the shots
18:45Just five minutes left
18:48Bye
18:52Not too much more here than seeing out time
18:55And time is very nearly seen out
18:58Good work on the right flank here
19:02Bye
19:05This is Carlos Gill
19:10Looking for the runner
19:14Looking for the runner
19:14Not too much to add on here
19:25Just a minute
19:26Muller
19:28Good running
19:29Strong and purposeful
19:31It's run loose here
19:36That's a foul
19:37Free kick's been given
19:38Well, if he's serious about trying from this range
19:52I think he must feel he can generate the tower
19:54Big ask
19:55And out to safety
19:58And that will be the final act
20:02Ghost
20:12We'll be right
20:13August
20:13We'll be right
20:14Voices
20:15You
20:16I
20:26But
20:28It
20:28I
20:30You
