00:00.
00:15Hello and welcome.
00:20To be honest, it's not a very pleasant night for football.
00:22The rain has been coming down heavily in advance.
00:25I'm Derek Ray in position to bring you live match commentary.
00:30Expert analyst, as always on these occasions, is Stuart Robson.
00:33And this is where it all...
00:35All starts in the UEFA Champions League.
00:37The group stage and match day one...
00:40My goodness, so much to look forward to.
00:42Stuart, what are you expecting?
00:44Yes, cheers, Derek.
00:45Well, what an occasion it is for this club and its supporters.
00:48These are the games that they dream of.
00:50No doubting they're the underdogs.
00:51If they can frustrate their opponents, stay in the game up until half time...
00:55You just never know.
00:56Hopefully we get a great cup tie and maybe even a massive surprise.
01:00Read it well.
01:04And the line-up...
01:05Up for the home side.
01:06Well, it's a 3-4-2-1, so it's going to be interesting to see...
01:10what's expected of the wing-backs here.
01:12Are they going to be high up the field or drop deeper?
01:15To make a back five.
01:16Only time will tell.
01:30And this is the initial 11 for the visitors today.
01:35Kamada plays along...
01:36He's in behind.
01:38Oh, that is a super...
01:40Well, he had to finish that.
01:41But credit to the goalkeeper, that's a brilliant stop.
01:55Now sliding in field.
02:00And there's the feed into the box.
02:03Managed to get it out of there.
02:05Managed to get it out.
02:10Just the challenge that was required.
02:15Always worth keeping a close eye on Luis Alberto.
02:19Given his prowess.
02:21Stuart, what do you expect to see from him today?
02:23Well, Derek, we know he loves...
02:24He loves linking up with other players.
02:26But it's when he's in and around the penalty area.
02:27That's when he's at his most dangerous.
02:29When he plays...
02:29His little one-twos around his marker.
02:31And then plays the next forward pass into a runner.
02:34He...
02:34Could be the key to unlocking this defence.
02:39Charles Van Hoot.
02:43Here we go.
02:43Charles Van Hoot.
02:44New Cup has it.
02:49Right.
02:54And a big moment because the referee has pointed to the spot.
02:58Penalty.
02:59Well, no card handed out.
03:03He gets.
03:04Away with a rebuke.
03:05But a lot of referees would have booked him there.
03:07But I'm with him on this one.
03:08No yellow.
03:09No card for me.
03:14To make it 1-0.
03:16And confidently converted.
03:19To make it 1-0.
03:24To make it 1-0.
03:29To make it 1-0.
03:31To make it 1-0.
03:33To make it 1-0.
03:34To make it 1-0.
03:38To make it 1-0.
03:40To make it 1-0.
03:42Before placing it into the opposite side.
03:44A really good penalty.
03:47To make it 1-0.
03:51To make it 1-0.
03:53To make it 1-0.
03:55To make it 1-0.
03:57Kamada.
04:02Kamada.
04:07Rasmussen, top-class defending.
04:12Great vault over the top.
04:17Rasmussen, really fine piece of defense.
04:22Defending play to break us up.
04:24A chance to whip it in.
04:27In search of the equalizer.
04:32Favouring the short one.
04:37He read the situation defensively and did his job.
04:40Oh, a very fine header.
04:42It wouldn't go in for him.
04:44And increasing the pressure.
04:45Another corner it is.
04:47They favoured a short one here.
04:50And space for him to cut in.
04:52Real chance.
04:53Oh, he saved it well.
04:57Bart Newcomb.
04:59Possession one.
