00:00And here come the teams, those 5,200 Cambridge United followers in the amber and black, Issa Diop and Jorge Cuenca renewing their centre-back partnership, starts for Tom Kearney, it's a very youthful looking centre-back pairings, Zeno, Ibsen, Rossi, the likes of Diop, Cuenca, Harrison Reid, Tom Kearney, all have Premier League experience, and away we go with Cambridge in their familiarity.
00:30This is a better point to take the throw, this is where it can come in from right up in that last third, you level with a six-yard area and it comes in at a better angle to attack, all important for Fulham first and foremost to win the first ball, clear their lines, but should Cambridge win it then it creates a little bit of mayhem, and if it gets that little bit of length, it's just whether the keeper decides whether he's going to come or not.
01:00This looks like the likeliest route to goal so far, these long mayhem throws, and it comes once again, not dealt with by Robinson particularly well, and the ball is still live, in the Fulham box, and Lavery's shot is blocked, second chance, and that was close.
01:16Snapshot with a second one, I think he should do better with it really, kind of snatched it because it came back to him quickly, very difficult to contend with, they don't clear their lines, and as the shot came in, you can see the first one there, and then back on him quickly, just as a little snatch at it.
01:32Oh, he'd be regretting that, that's a good chance, really good chance, he's closed down quickly, but should be doing better, I think, although it gets that.
01:40Best chance of the game so far, for the League Two side, you now have a corner, and that was dealt with by Jimenez.
01:47And there is the half-time whistle, and Cambridge have held out for 45 minutes.
02:01What can the Premier League team produce in this second period?
02:04No changes as far as we can see, 45 minutes for Fulham to open them up, find some more pace in their play, here's Kevin, and that is behind.
02:24Well, perfect start, perfect start, a little bit more.
02:28Well, that doesn't look in, does it, that's not overhanging.
02:31Ha ha ha ha, stickler for the rules.
02:37Reid, now Kevin, bit of space to work in, tries to shot, Eastwood can't hold it, back in by Jimenez and it's cleared away back as far as Reid again.
02:49Good early signs for Fulham in the second half, bit more direct from Kevin, bit more purposeful, here he is once more.
02:55It's time he's got bro feet for company
02:59And the shot is over the top by Jimenez
03:02Because it pitches in front of him
03:04That's a good little little flick there from Jimenez
03:07Trying to help it into that far corner
03:08You can see
03:10Promising start to the second period from Fulham
03:13I wonder what Marco Silva had to say
03:18At half time, plenty I'm sure
03:25Once again Cambridge organised
03:30That's another good piece of defending
03:34This time by Joe
03:36They're defending in the middle of the goal well
03:40So any balls have gone to that far post
03:42Generally it's the small guys coming in there
03:44So they're dealing with the second ball well
03:46Kenny in space
03:49Now Quinker
03:53Useful ball
03:54Only as far as Traore
03:57Adama Traore
04:00Saved by Eastwood
04:02Better from Traore
04:04But here's the ball from Traore
04:07Just clips up to the
04:07Just look it's better because it's quicker
04:10And that's Eastwood
04:11Just that's a save
04:11Taking a more direct route to goal
04:14Aren't they in the second half so far
04:15Fulham, it's Kevin
04:15Well played again
04:22Not Kevin sorry
04:24The doubling
04:25Just look it's better because it's quicker
04:27And that's Eastwood just
04:27That's a save he should make
04:29Actually on his near post routine save
04:31But at least he's having to deal with it
04:33In by Robinson
04:35I wonder if Muniz would pose a more aerial threat possibly
04:39Cambridge having a little bit of ball
04:41To maybe play them on a quick counter
04:43But they're not really coming out of that shape
04:45Maybe a chance here for Cambridge to break
04:50It's been pulled back
04:51Yeah knocked out in the second round
04:54And complete the job
04:56A long way to go still
04:57Curving up against Bennett once more
05:01Here's a handful
05:03Kearney always full of ideas and invention
05:08Quite so far though
05:09That's really breaking forward
05:11Did Eastwood make the save?
05:13Robinson you can see he's really pinged it into him there
05:15And bounced awkwardly
05:17Gets a lucky deflection back into his path
05:18But it's a good stop from Eastwood
05:20There's one he should make really on that near post
05:22He's having a good night
05:24In again by Rhin
05:26Head of us from Jimenez
05:29And his wide
05:30Nothing so far from King Orchard Waze
05:36It's a nice idea for Robinson
05:40Good cross too
05:41And a chance for Fulham
05:42A good save by Eastwood
05:43It's from Jimenez
05:44And the follow-up is in
05:46From Emil Smith-Rowe
05:48It's been a long time coming
05:52But Fulham have their goal
05:54From Jimenez was the one
05:56It was well saved by Eastwood
05:57But just allow Fulham to
05:59You know get that ball back in there again
06:01That's a good volley
06:02Good little hook volley
06:02Thinks he gets it away far enough
06:04Help back in
06:05I think it's Castagna on that far side
06:07And there's Smith-Rowe
06:08Just to get a little
06:08Poacher's goal there
06:10Just in there
06:11But that's a good attempt
06:12That's behind him
06:13So he does really well
06:14And the cross back in from Castagna
06:16Is quick
06:17Positive
06:17And it's a tap-in
06:18Doesn't look too impressed
06:20Does he Marco Silva?
06:21This is the first time
06:22They've had a counter-attack
06:24In the whole game
06:24Forward through Josh King
06:28That's an important touch
06:32Isn't it from Bennett
06:33I thought
06:34Actually
06:35Fulham leading then
06:40By that one
06:40Emil Smith-Rowe goal to nil
06:42The pressure just eased
06:49For them somewhat
06:50Tom Kearney will take this corner
06:54Head of one by Diop
06:57No real threat to Eastwood's goal
06:59Fulham just need to keep hold of it now
07:02Moonies turns
07:03Wilson forward
07:06Moonies from the return
07:07King couldn't quite get there
07:09Josh King couldn't really get
07:11Just quite get to the tap-in
07:13Just becoming a little bit stretched at the end
