00:00Hello and welcome, and I can tell you it was a dry walk to the gantry today.
00:29No rain in sight. I'm Derek Ray, and I'm joined for expert analysis by Stuart Robson.
00:36And every reason to believe we're in for an entertaining match here.
00:39How do you see the match going, Stuart?
00:41Well, this should be interesting today. I like the makeup of both teams.
00:45They really do have a good balance of attacking and defensive qualities.
00:48But the team that has the greater desire will probably come out on top.
00:59The initial 11 today for the hosts.
01:08Well, in this 3-5-2, key to their success will be the wing-backs.
01:12If they can get high up the pitch, deliver good crosses, and defend with intelligence,
01:16they've got a great chance here.
01:17And introducing the visitors' line-up today.
01:37Well, although we have it down as a 4-5-1, it's actually more likely to be a 4-2-3-1.
01:42They play with two holding midfield players, a number 10 and two wingers.
01:46The system has a nice balance to it.
01:48And we're off.
02:16The first half begins with plenty of anticipation in the air.
02:30That's a good-looking pass.
02:33Took a really smart piece of defending to stop them.
02:39Good win.
02:46Caputo.
02:56Oh, a magnificent challenge.
03:04Excellent run in possession.
03:07Can they forge ahead?
03:09They do.
03:10And you've got to say, they're good value for the lead.
03:22Well, just watch this again.
03:24A change of pace, a change of direction, and a decent finish.
03:28That's a very good goal.
03:29So, the match has restarted.
03:341-0 here.
03:34Yeah.
03:34Laurent.
03:35Laurent.
03:36Laurent
03:58Goetje
04:01What can they produce on the flank?
04:03Must be frantic action from one end to the other
04:07They weren't ahead for long
04:09And this match is level again
04:11Well here's the replay
04:14And that's the perfect outcome
04:16Right into the corner and in off the post
04:18That's a very good goal
04:19So back underway
04:24They've leveled it at 1-1 here
04:33Clean challenge
04:37Running with confidence
04:42To take the lead
04:44Well that is all about awareness
04:48Spotted the threat
04:49And shot it down
04:50Well the keeper's made a good save
04:55But you just sense a goal is coming soon
04:57And keeping the ball out of their own net
04:59Can lift confidence throughout the side
05:01And the keeper really reacted brilliantly
05:04Well from that sort of range
05:05It's a great save I have to say
05:08Appears to be in two minds
05:10Takes the shot
05:23Vital block there
05:25That really was a wonderful piece of defending
05:28She made good progress there
05:33Well disappointing end to the move
05:35Opportunity it is
05:41Oh in it goes
05:43And how about this
05:45For gumption
05:46For determination
05:47They've turned it around
05:49Well here it is again
05:54And it's all about the pace in transition
05:56They're so quick to get out from the back
05:58And when threw on goal
05:59She makes no mistake
06:01She just hits it so cleanly
06:02And with power
06:03That's a great finish
06:04Paris
06:08Spot on with that tackle
06:14Oh in with a chance
06:23That's an excellent save
06:26Well I always fancied the keeper
06:28To make the save
06:28She's really good in those situations
06:31Oh she's made a crucial tackle there
06:45Could pose a threat on the counter
06:49This could be the equaliser
06:54And the keeper getting right behind it
06:57Delivering it
07:00Couldn't get it past that first defender
07:03Attack looks promising
07:09Oh it's a superb challenge
07:11Very timely
07:13Brilliant defending
07:14At such an important moment
07:16Well the thought process is there
07:20But not the execution
07:21Opportunity to level it
07:35An amazing piece of goalkeeping
07:37Well that's a remarkable save
07:39She's just reacted so sharply there
07:41And so it is
07:47The first half story
07:48Has been rated
07:49And so it is
07:51The first half story
07:52Has been rated
07:53Has been tri delicacy
07:54Let's see
07:55Inherited
07:57So it is
07:58The third half story
07:59Has been rated
07:59nej
08:00But Pro tomorrow
08:00And so it is
08:01Very special
08:02Oat

08:07We'll see
08:07With our
08:07Fen
08:07And so excited
08:08Let's see
08:09That means
08:09What about

08:11also
08:12There should be
08:13What about
08:13Paramount
08:14Ex
08:15Of
08:16Un
09:17Back underway.
09:18The second half begins.
09:24Now opening things up.
09:27Oh, big balance.
09:29Well, how close it was.
09:31And she knows it.
09:32Well, she's certainly not alone.
09:41Possession one.
09:43Well, she likes to run with the ball at her feet, but nothing comes of it.
10:00Good defending it was.
10:01And just like that, broken up.
10:12Well, that was a really excellent piece of defending there.
10:15Now the counter attack looks on.
10:20Such an ambitious run.
10:22Decent cross, but nobody in the vicinity.
10:25Useful cross towards the near post.
10:28Well, when it left the boot, I thought it might have a chance of fooling the keeper, but it didn't.
10:34Isabel Goodwin.
10:36And the possession lost there.
10:38Is it the perfect pass?
10:43Never really close to the goal.
10:48And it will be a goal kick.
10:50They decided that now is the time to go to the bench.
10:57Paris.
10:58Goodwin.
10:59And support available.
11:00Well, they could break at pace.
11:10That might help them.
11:11Oh, it's all happened so quickly.
11:16That fast counter attack and they're the tremendous save.
11:19That's a great effort and a superb save.
11:22Top class stuff.
11:24Oh, I thought they were onto something there.
11:27There's something there.
11:39And an opening! In it goes! The leveller! Thrilling stop here!
11:52Well, here it is again, and it's all about the pace in transition.
11:55They're so quick to get out from the back, and then what a finish.
11:58That's been hit with such power and pace.
12:00The keeper has no time to react. It's a brilliant strike.
12:05Just 20 minutes remaining now.
12:10Well, a really good run, but really sticking to the task defensively.
12:20And given acres of space to attack here.
12:22Now sliding in field.
12:26Well, it didn't happen for them in attack.
12:31Well, it didn't really go according to the script, did it?
12:33Well, the less said about that, the better, because that's a really poor attempt in the end.
12:37Well, a splendid individual performance, but the manager elects to make a change.
12:44Nikita Paris.
12:48Might be a chance here.
12:51In position.
12:53And there is the goal to re-establish their advantage!
12:57Well, here you can see it again.
13:07Good run, great strength, and a composed finish under pressure.
13:10That's a top-class goal.
13:12So, back underway here.
13:17Can they hold on to their lead?
13:21Anaïg Butel.
13:23Mefometu.
13:24Now we're inside the final 10 minutes in this one.
13:34Couldn't keep it.
13:35They know what they need, and that's an equaliser here.
13:53Did well to win it back.
13:55Well, no chance there.
13:56That was a good bit of defending.
13:59Harris.
14:05Capito.
14:19Excellent vision.
14:23Decent cross, but nobody in the vicinity.
14:27Suddenly, they have possession.
14:29Keeper was there to meet it.
14:34Keeper was there to meet it.
14:36Time is done on the side.
14:39This corner could help the prospects as they look for an equaliser.
14:42Trying to deliver it accurately.
14:58The referee blows for full time.
15:00It ends at a victory for the home team.
15:02No complaints from the fans here.
15:04Goethe.
