00:00Shake hands and come out battling for a place in the semi-final.
00:03The England team, with me, Trevor Roque.
00:07Well, it's a wonderful party atmosphere.
00:09Can this English team come up and follow the script?
00:12That's the question.
00:12I'm sure it will be tougher than it was against the Dutch side,
00:16but just a straight swap.
00:17I'm sure David Platt would do the more holding job instead of pulling.
00:20I think Manamon and Anzerton have a big part to play
00:23because the Spanish wing-backs do like to get forward
00:25and let's hope they're occupied defensively.
00:30And it's interesting that the Spanish coach should go back to Julio Salinas.
00:35Played in three World Cups.
00:37It appeared here only as a substitute for ten minutes.
00:41There's no youngster into his turkeys now.
00:43I would be surprised if he survived the 90 minutes.
00:46I think that threesome in midfield is going to be important.
00:49The aero doesn't stop running.
00:50Nadal, the crunching tackler.
00:53And Amor, very hard-working too.
00:54They're going to try and deny the English the space
00:56and then certainly out wide.
00:59Kiko is an interesting character.
01:01Quite a bruiser, English style, I would call him.
01:08Spanish to kick off.
01:18First challenge won by Edap is through enormous applause.
01:20This is Gary Neville.
01:28Oh, goodness me.
01:30And the referee will immediately want words with Abelardo.
01:34And the first yellow card.
01:41And already he knows he will not play in the semi-finals should Spain get there.
01:47Well, that was so stupid, that tackle.
01:49Look, he's taken both feet off the ground.
01:51He couldn't have asked for anything more than the yellow card.
01:53He looked aghast when it was shown, but Alan Shearer, I'm sure, delighted now.
01:57His marker has picked that up so early in the game.
02:01I don't know where Abelardo has been.
02:03But the rule is, you don't tackle from behind like that.
02:09Gascoigne.
02:10McManaman, three waiting for a cross.
02:12And a turn.
02:14Punched away by Thuby Toreta.
02:15And he was brought to Barcelona by the England coach now, Terry Vanagos.
02:27That's going to run to Shearer.
02:29Could be the first test.
02:30For Thuby Toreta.
02:31Good save.
02:32Good strike too.
02:40That was a great strike.
02:41That was going in.
02:42Good save by Thuby Toreta.
02:43It was the aero who made a bad back header.
02:46Went over Nadal and he broke on his so-called weaker foot.
02:49Didn't look weaker, did it?
02:50It was a very important save.
02:57Goalkeeper winning his 110th cap.
03:02Pushing 35.
03:06Pearce.
03:10He won't even get three points for that.
03:13Amor.
03:17Amor.
03:17Hierro.
03:18Amor.
03:19She knows he waits.
03:23Comes inside.
03:25Oh, it's a good try.
03:26Side netting.
03:30He's quite comfortable on either foot.
03:31Good player, the man from Barcelona.
03:41Always comfortable that he was going wide.
03:43Gascoigne.
03:44Goalkeeper.
03:44Goalkeeper is committed but the flag is up.
04:00Don't worry, it's offside.
04:01Just a few flutters around the stadium, I think that all gascoigne should have got a shout because
04:10he never reacted to that tackle from Salinas and then of course once they're breaking like
04:15that, but when the ball is released, he is a yard at least offside.
04:18Goalkeeper.
04:20Goalkeeper.
04:22Goalkeeper.
04:23Goalkeeper.
04:24Goalkeeper.
04:25That's one of the five.
04:26Sheringham feels away.
04:27Drops too short.
04:28Oh, good save.
04:29Tony Adams.
04:30Good movement by England from the free kick.
04:35Sheringham was the first to feel away.
04:36Looked as if that might get it.
04:37Said Adams came across the front.
04:38And it was a comfortable tip over but even so.
04:39He was in the middle of the goal and he was able to get to it but it wasn't towards
04:42the angle.
04:43I'm not sure he would have reached it.
04:44Sheringham didn't make.
04:45Kiko cleared.
04:46Salinas.
04:47Nadal.
04:48Pierce.
04:49Straight back.
04:50Covered by Nadal.
04:51Good tackle our quarter.
04:52And it collects.
04:53Looks up.
04:54Hopefully not on the goal.
04:55He was able to get to the goal, he was able to get to it.
04:56But it wasn't towards the angle.
04:57I'm not sure he would have reached it.
04:58Sheringham didn't make.
04:59Kiko cleared.
05:00Salinas.
05:01Nadal.
05:02Nadal.
05:06Pierce.
05:07Straight back.
05:09Covered by Nadal.
05:12Good tackle our quarter.
05:13Anderton collects.
05:14Looks up.
05:15Hopefully he's going to be able to get to it.
05:17up hopes to find sheringham and has
05:22confident to try and cross or shoot on the full only he would know exactly what he was trying to do
05:29i think it was a cross i wonder whether he was going to try and mark over in baxton but
05:33uh i think he thought twice about that
05:40good cries of espana
05:41and they brought the drama with him as ever spanish sides always do
05:49and it just needs an english player to just get hold of the game doesn't it spark something
05:52often and get the crowd behind them keep going to salinas
05:59green
06:03mistake guayero crack is up offside
06:05salinas he finished it but the missed kick by yellow pulled everybody
06:13and his thing became the last pass and england moved up
06:17and turned with some concern we've seen that arm out before but the management was right but it was
06:23pretty close that's going very obvious
06:26and macarine is onside and made a complete mess of it
06:35david seaman did all he could came running out and macarine just couldn't keep his head
06:45here's amor
06:46so just it's not to me for a change bel suey
06:57salinas forward this is kiko
07:02back pass and well dug out by seaman
07:07bit of pulling by alcorta
07:12english free kick
07:16there's not been a good half let's be frank for england uh although against switzerland and
07:22scotland it was similar situations one poorish half and one better half let's hope england's better
07:27is still to come
07:30there's no doubt that the 18th meeting between these two sides
07:35has in the first 45 minutes gone very much the way of the spanish
07:39second replay proving that the call for offside which denied julio salinas
07:45was in error and england with a bit of reorganization to do to improve things
07:53in the second half half time in this quarterfinal spain nil england nil
07:58all we could do with the repeats of uh last weekend from england and they were a great deal better in the second half
08:08had to be then has to be now
08:15sharing him forward away by alcorta
08:29first touch for alfonso from real betis scored with his first touch came on as a substitute in the first match
08:37three in the middle for england
08:45three in the middle for england mcmanemann in possession and here is shieringham
08:52mcmanemann
08:53was the player nearest to it but it was one of those that the debate in the mind would be do i launch
09:04myself for a header or do i try to reach it try the latter
09:08but when he gets the ball and runs at defenders he does spark it off doesn't he and
09:16caught in two might i think he was going for goal there alan shearer tried to turn it into a pass but
09:21i think it was for the top corner
09:26just going offers himself flat has gone into the middle
09:28nadal
09:31nadal reaches or tries to sharing him back stays down
09:36spanish defenders can't believe that the flag stayed down
09:40but it did and the chance went away
09:43bounce beating sharing him
09:45great long throw bounces up darren anderton nods it back
09:51looked close didn't it offside
09:54neville
09:55shearer
09:56good well to hold on to that but neville had stopped
10:01support from behind by shearer orchestrating the attack good early ball in
10:05and here's anderton
10:19he looks back at the goal he didn't miss by that amount
10:22shearer did well then
10:23it's just possible the penalties cross the mind of bobby robson
10:38we're a long way from that yet
10:44here is shearer
10:46forces his way through
10:49good cover by a quarter
10:51that was brilliant play it was his strength more than anything that took him past the two
10:57defenders he shapes here to shoot then goes past sergey and past the dale who couldn't afford to
11:02bring him down that was good defending at the near post
11:08there's an extra half pace in the stride
11:14here's gascoigne
11:21here's
11:31block by adams but the danger is not over yet
11:33amour with the cross caminello
11:36just got to him and that was a brilliant challenge
11:39by the england captain
11:40and here's mcmaneman
11:45gascoigne to his left
11:46shearer down the middle
11:47cheering him coming in from the right
11:49she
11:51she
11:57chance at one end and then at the other
12:00still the score sheet blank
12:02he had a back shearer to make that but he didn't
12:11free kick being organized by
12:12yellow
12:13caminello and amour looks like
12:17yellow is going to go for the crack caminello has got himself into the edge of the wall
12:24curled but too high
12:29felt the wave of relief was all the way from the ground up to here on our commentary position it was
12:35he was never going to stay under the crossbar
12:40abelardo makes a move into the space
12:43chico to his right
12:45this is he goes for the shots
12:47good save and well gathered in
12:49and look who was continuing the run
12:51it was abelardo who started it by moving into the space
12:54if that had come loose abelardo would have been on the end of it
12:57and the england defense would have been watching him
12:59brilliant save it was too he was at full stretch david seaman it was low down
13:06and the fact that it didn't spin away from him was crucial
13:10here's alfonso piero galloping up alongside wide is bensue
13:17his cross is wide as well okay
13:23probably england that want the final whistle just to reorganize a bit
13:27there's the shot through the legs of tony adams so he wouldn't have seen it late it was going
13:31into the corner and he just snatched it at the second attempt you see it there and look at abelardo
13:36following in as you say if it had come away a yard or two it had been into the net
13:44stuart pierce
13:44and it would have seemed almost worth gary neville going over to that side for a long throw but he's
14:04not doing so anderson to take instead
14:12mcmanemann
14:16to pierce
14:18to mcmanemann nadal across go kick
14:21last minute of the 90
14:28always looked the possibility this one
14:33would not be decided over the usual 90 minutes nail biting time
14:48adams platt southgate
14:54fortunate well picked up
14:57sharing him
14:59given away
15:01by anderson
15:03this is sergi bit of an arm from neville sergi really testing him here
15:07the appeals late for the referee's favor which he doesn't receive given away again
15:19southgate given away a third time
15:25finally plant gets control of things if you move into stoppage time lopez
15:30here's kiko
15:38good improvisation
15:40by david seaman
15:43great anticipation good ball by caminero look he's got between southgate and adams
15:48so quickly off his line
15:49what a magnificent championship he's had
16:03caminero waits in the middle of all with kiko this is caminero
16:09the end of the 90 minutes we are going to move into what has been
16:26dubbed golden goal time
16:28play will continue until a goal is scored
16:34if no goal is scored then at the end of 30 minutes that's 15 minutes each way
16:40there will be a penalty competition
16:43wembley in another tournament has seen a golden goal before but never
16:48at european level never indeed at world level but that is what now faces the two teams
16:55they go into the extra period knowing that should they concede a goal
17:00they are out there will be no time for an equalizer the first goal will decide the match
17:07good applause again to lift them no substitutions have been made
17:16spanish hand has already been played they've used their three substitutes
17:22sergi now back part of the field which he used to judge good purpose in the first half of the 90
17:29it's we hope from england's point of view that they've recovered from the sequence of giving the ball away so often
17:40at the end of the 90 minutes
17:44he also made the point how well spain have finished other games i mean they have looked strong
17:49but they finished the 90 minutes but terry bernard was at the moment anyways saying to the players who have
17:54got england this far you uh go out and try and prize open this goal in extra time
18:04caminero seen by plant only pierce
18:10he certainly won't want to be one to take a penalty stuart pierce
18:18his fortune to favor the braver
18:19gascoigne referee allows play to continue
18:31and that's into the left
18:34shearer gascoigne cheering him far side and it was shearer and i'm not sure that showing
18:40on wasn't the better place to the two he was coming in on a better angle
18:43but the ball off the head of shearer
18:50shearing i'm coming in mcmanovan gascoigne
18:55adams sharing him interesting block very successful this is gascoigne from shearer
19:05it's a corner
19:05it was almost celebration time wasn't it tried to chip dubie serretta did very well look just gives
19:15himself the angle tried to lift it to the far corner but couldn't get the height
19:22and it was again with the challenge caminero is forward
19:25it's a corner oh my goodness i mean i think all our hearts flooded a great back hill and there
19:41that's another wonderful tackle tony adams coming in late otherwise it was a clear shooting opportunity
19:47spain have had the better of it in the extra period
19:57we're into its last minute
20:01the referee allows the time for the substitutions time they took
20:05bombay kiko still kiko and turned away by stone from lopez with some intricate
20:20twisting and turning by kiko it was a moment then
20:25looks as though he's gonna pull his shirt it was gascoigne who made the tackle injured or not
20:30and stone who banged the ball away
20:35kiko in the six yard area abelardo and lopez to run from around the penalty spot
20:47out by adams
20:50that's to it it's hanging
20:58it does look he's had a wonderful tournament as if he's going to decide perhaps
21:02who is going to come through this there's one or two young english players out there now robbie
21:07fowler nick farmby will they be asked to take one of those five penalties
21:11long for shirah
21:15farmby alongside so is fowler
21:19turned away by lopez
21:24the jangling of the nerves would be all the warm up for the noise of the crowd
21:30benham was on his feet for just about the first time we're going to get a long throw from gary neville
21:34england thrusting people forward
21:37england thrusting people forward
21:39but it's met by yero
21:42and it is to be a penalty competition
21:47no golden goal the new idea the new rule has solved nothing
21:54it's only made the extra period that much more nerve jangling
22:00and stuart pierce with words to all the england players to encourage them and remembering his unlucky
22:07record in penalty competitions that speaks volumes for the man it's going to be decided from the spot
22:13two goalkeepers go to shake hands with each other and have a passing word
22:28they can come out as the hero it's going to be alan shearer who will start the penalty competition
22:43this is it with great care
22:58regular penalty taker
23:02shearer against stupid right there
23:13i think you've got to keep an eye on newbie director coming off the line he was three yards
23:18off his line good penalty kick by alan shearer but it's up to the referee to make sure the ref
23:23doesn't come off like the goalkeeper doesn't come off his line like that
23:27the arrow to face the boos
23:44england stay in front after one penalty apiece
23:48you have to have some sympathy for the spaniards here it would be nice if the attitude was more
24:01sporting but wherever this was happening in the world the home crowd would be reacting the kicks
24:07taken by the opposition
24:12david platt second for england
24:17two great penalties by a player to experience players there must be a bit of inexperience still to
24:40the camera
24:56ah the definite stop
25:00the penalty is allowed
25:05it's 2-1
25:06yes could be term done done the conduct but he definitely stopped and then the strike to see
25:13if he's gone maybe team and didn't do move that much but he just stroked it in the corner
25:21brave man steps forward to take england's third banish the memory of turin
25:28stewart pierce oh yes what a penalty
25:33and the relief belongs not only to this championship but to the world cup of 1990
25:43that was a thumping penalty could not have been more accurately into the corner
25:50what a character to come up third man on and take a penalty like that i hadn't anticipated him taking one
25:57fabulous character
26:01it's bel suey spain down at one three
26:08what a contrast with the previous penalty
26:10he looks casual but i bet he wasn't but uh it was very important was it take it to him practice going just a bit early
26:19and now it's mr gascoigne three penalties each and england lead three two
26:26and now what about gasco is injured ankle
26:33no problem
26:40This is a sudden death therapy, misses it, England are through.
26:53All the pressure on Nadal.
26:59Pass the score.
27:04And doesn't England are through!
27:10All the substitutes are off the bench to congratulate David Seaman.
27:24Everyone is standing and cheering.
27:28England are through in the penalty competition.
27:334-2, no need for the fifth penalty.
