00:00And a warm welcome on what is a fine day for football.
00:28Perfect playing conditions.
00:30I'm Guy Mowbray, your commentator, with the professional's view provided by Stuart Robson.
00:35And we've got live football from Liga Portugal coming up.
00:38What are we going to get from this one?
00:40Yes, thanks as always. We've got two good teams here, so I'm anticipating a really good game.
00:45The atmosphere is electric inside the stadium before kickoff, and hopefully we're not disappointed.
00:58This is the home sides team today.
01:10Well, the wingers will be key here.
01:12They have to choose the right time to give wit and the right time to come infield to support the centre forward.
01:17If they can do that, they're a potent front three. No doubt about that.
01:21This is how the visitors start the game.
01:40Well, I'm intrigued to see how their two midfield players coping there today, because they look very isolated.
01:45Yes, they're good athletes and skillful players, but it's asking an awful lot of them.
01:49It's
02:15and we're underway with the first half
02:22and it's opened up
02:35and that's a decent bit of goalkeeping
02:37it's been delivered
02:43and that's not properly away yet
02:45well it was looking good but not all the way through
02:49acres of green grass to roam into
02:53now this could lead to something
02:55setting up the chance
03:02they've given it away here
03:14promising looking ball
03:15licking this on and a superb block
03:21he just throws his body on the line
03:24excellent play
03:25teeing up the chance now
03:30and he fails to trouble the keeper
03:33yeah it was a decent effort but as you said
03:35not really a danger to the keeper
03:37a little careless there as the ball changes hands
03:45goodness me who wants to keep it
03:51promising move now what happens from here
03:56and that's a shame for them nothing doing
03:59this could be threatening
04:06this for the lead
04:08surely they need to play a bit higher up than they are doing here
04:21they have to play higher up the pitch
04:24flying forward here
04:29flying forward here
04:30just needs the composure now
04:43a goal from the substitute and the change that was made has made a change
04:49well here it is again he goes past his marker so easily with just a drop of the shoulder
04:55and when he gets onto it he decides to go for power
04:58it's a really emphatic finish which gives the keeper no chance
05:01promising position this
05:12well he's certainly caught all of that but never going to trouble the keeper
05:21goal kick to come
05:22good work to regain possession
05:38making good progress here
05:52chops inside now
05:54all taken away from them
06:07goes on past the defender
06:17they won't be going any further
06:19nicely won
06:20going up through the gears now
06:34oh maybe a bit of space now
06:37and it's opened up
06:39and that's a corner
06:40over it comes
06:45and that one should easily be cleared
06:49a little sloppy on the ball there
06:57and this could be the moment for a counter
07:01really nicely played
07:04what can they do with this now
07:05they've given it away here
07:10they've given it away here
07:13and we could watch that sort of skill all day
07:21and this is the equaliser
07:24and the keeper does well to keep it out
07:28well that's not going to cut it
07:39excellent progress and it continues
07:50excellent progress and it continues
07:50this could be
07:52oh it must be here
07:56and a marvellous save
07:57well he's just pulled off a remarkable save there
08:00brilliant goalkeeping
08:02and it's nicely stopped and held by the keeper
08:06and that'll do it
08:15the end of the first 45 minutes here
08:17and he's asked plenty of questions of the back line
08:23certainly been difficult to contain
08:25so
08:37it's
08:39it's
08:39it's
08:40it's
08:44it's
08:47it's
09:21The action resumes. Let's see what this half brings.
09:33Well, this is looking good.
09:37But not the end result they wanted from an encouraging position.
09:44He's beaten his marker here.
09:47And the chance slips away.
09:51That's a lovely cut inside.
10:20And that is going to be keeper's ball.
10:32This is a promising looking attack.
10:34The effort's shut out.
10:40Making a change here.
10:41And the corner is fired in.
10:48And the ball sent safely away.
10:50And here we go.
11:00Time for the transition.
11:02Oh, what a chance.
11:04They must have thought they'd equalised.
11:06Brilliant save.
11:08Absolutely.
11:08That you could see the danger the moment the ball was played forward.
11:18Into the box it goes.
11:20The ball is lost.
11:22And the chance has gone too.
11:23Options available in the middle.
11:35Gets passed really nicely.
11:39Worth a go.
11:40Crucial defending.
11:41A chance now for a quick transition.
11:47And the counter fizzling out in the end.
11:50Well, the hosts have had most of the ball in the last 15 minutes.
11:56And have been really positive with it.
11:58They're creating opportunities.
11:59And it's surely only a matter of time before they draw level here.
12:02Time to get creative from here.
12:13Oh, crux.
12:14Free kick.
12:15Time for the set-piece coach to come into play.
12:29Come on, a free kick.
12:30You've got to beat the wall.
12:32Looking to put the cross in.
12:35You've done well to get past his marker.
12:37And just wide of the mark, goal kick.
12:39Well, good effort.
12:40But I think the goalkeeper did have it covered.
12:48We've got 20 to go in this one.
13:02Oh, look at this.
13:02Oh, look at this.
13:04Away they go on the counter.
13:08Oh, maybe a bit of space now.
13:11Opportunity now.
13:12And they've levelled it up.
13:14Nothing to split them once more.
13:16Well, here it is again.
13:18He goes past his marker so easily with just a drop of the shoulder.
13:21And his movement's so clever.
13:23Once he gets onto it, there's only one foot in his head.
13:26Smash it as hard as possible.
13:27Oh, what a good goal.
13:34Only 15 minutes left for play now.
13:36And able to come away with the ball.
13:45And able to come away with the ball.
13:45Well, now they could spring the track.
14:10And this could be.
14:11My word, that was close.
14:13Well, what a move.
14:14That was just didn't have the end product.
14:19He's made a real difference today.
14:21And the manager now bringing him off after a solid shift.
14:29Possession lost and won.
14:33Lots of room for them now.
14:39Recent chances.
14:41They might get another go here.
14:42Real opportunity.
14:45Oh, and a good save to keep it level.
14:48Well, what an important save that is.
14:50He's just got his team out of trouble there.
14:53Cleared, but not far enough.
14:56The ballkeeper has that and keeps it in his grasp.
14:58Hard work brings reward in winning back possession.
15:04Maybe a big moment coming here.
15:07Oh, could be here.
15:08And they've come away with the ball.
15:13This looks really good.
15:14Could we see a winning goal?
15:17Well, it looked promising, but only up to a point.
15:20Well, here we go.
15:21Time for the transition.
15:23They couldn't quite take advantage in the end.
15:26Getting closer.
15:37Pass misplaced.
15:38The ball lost.
15:41And the referee blows for full time.
15:43And away we go.
15:50The first half gets going.
15:52That man is saying.
16:07The first half gets ballet.
16:09The second half meter.
16:10When he went a little sein.
16:11The second half way.
16:12The second half moment.
16:14Queenie.
16:15The first half a minute.
16:16The third half.
16:17The first half All did.
16:18The third half of the since.
16:19The second half.
