00:00Vieri in the Italian attack. Del Piero, on his way back from injury, was not in the starting line-up.
00:05Chile had a full-strength side with Marcelo Salas, the man who shocked England,
00:08and Ivan Zamorano, a score of 12 goals in the qualifiers up front.
00:12The commentary from Chris Waddle and John Champion.
00:17D'Olivio.
00:19Now Vieri. Albertini.
00:24Vieri's jogging through the centre.
00:27Clearance from Margass.
00:29Zamorano in hot pursuit.
00:30Nesta's the defender.
00:32And he wasn't at all comfortable.
00:35Salas.
00:37Interception from Maldini.
00:41And a ball forward that will encourage Roberto Baggio.
00:43And here's Vieri!
00:451-0 to Italy.
00:48And a classic counter-strike by the Italians.
00:53The threat on their own goal turned within seconds into a goal for them.
01:01It's a great ball and a great touch by Roberto Baggio.
01:05And Vieri, we've so softened this season, Spanish football do exactly that.
01:09What a great start.
01:10It's Baggio's first real touch of the ball, but just shows what he can do.
01:13And what a cool finish passed into the net.
01:16Excellent finish.
01:17Chile have had most of the pressure.
01:20Italy have the lead through Christian Vieri.
01:35Acuña.
01:36Salas to the left.
01:39Mestai right behind him.
01:42Rojas gaining ground as well.
01:45Zamorano's waiting for a cross.
01:46So too is Salas.
01:47And here's Zamorano.
01:49And Salas!
01:55The best chance that Chile have had.
01:57By some margin.
01:59It was a great ball in by Rojas.
02:00We know Zamorano's very powerful in the air.
02:02And Salas, I think, anticipated the goalkeeper coming to hit him.
02:05He'd be disappointed he couldn't put that on the target.
02:12Margett.
02:13Paraguay.
02:17D'Olivio.
02:19Between two Chileans.
02:21Albertini.
02:22Two in the middle waiting.
02:23That was Reyes.
02:25And this is Vieri!
02:30Not as far as Maldini.
02:33Roberto Baggio.
02:36Vieri's waiting patiently.
02:44Good bit of skill by Vieri.
02:47Few claims for handball.
02:49Good decision by the ref.
02:56Carlo Maldini.
02:58Vieri.
03:08Albertini.
03:10Di Matteo.
03:12And now Roberto Baggio.
03:14Lovely slight of foot.
03:15Through for Vieri.
03:17Well-timed by the goalkeeper Tapia.
03:24Great play by the Italians.
03:25Di Matteo, Di Baggio.
03:26Great bit of skill.
03:27Great vision and spot.
03:28Vieri's run in 40.
03:30With a service been a bit wet.
03:32It slipped through the goalkeeper.
03:36This presumably is going to be virtually the last act of the first half.
03:41Well inside the third minute of stoppage time.
03:43Estai.
03:46Zamorano.
03:47And Salas!
03:51Nelson Acosta celebrates a goal.
03:54By the man who is heading for Italy.
03:57But against Italy.
04:01He's had such a quiet half, Marcelo Salas.
04:04But from a couple of yards out.
04:08There was never really any question.
04:11That the equalising goal was going to arrive.
04:14Good header by Zamorano.
04:16And there's a goal.
04:17Poacher for you.
04:18Salas.
04:19Anticipated.
04:19Excellent.
04:20Great finish with the left foot.
04:22It's a good header by Zamorano.
04:24Gets well up.
04:24Gets up early.
04:25Good fortune there.
04:27And a great finish by Salas.
04:29South America's Player of the Year makes it 1-1.
04:45Reyes.
04:51Acuna.
04:52Salas.
04:55It's 2-1.
04:57And it's that man again.
05:02Italy can't say that they weren't warned.
05:06Because his qualities after his performance against England at Wembley and Amir Friendly are well known the world over.
05:13But Salas left so well and directed the perfect header beyond Pagliuca.
05:19That was just a simple ball in.
05:20It was a poor clearance.
05:21Acuna just put the ball back in.
05:23And what a tremendous leap of Pagliuca.
05:25And what a finish straight to the side there.
05:27Pagliuca no chance.
05:29And Chile, who haven't won a World Cup finals match for 36 years, lead Italy by two goals to one.
05:37And he's got them both.
05:42Maldini.
05:47First touch for Di Biagio.
06:00And Tappi had just got enough on the ball to divert it wide.
06:05It was a good job that the goalkeeper was alert because one of his colleagues let him down.
06:12That man was Reyes.
06:20Di Biagio.
06:22For Vieri.
06:25Well, he got to the ball.
06:28But not with enough time to be able to turn it goalwards.
06:34Good movement by Vieri.
06:36Great ball by Di Biagio.
06:37And he'd be disappointed he didn't get it on contact with the goal.
06:39He has put him off.
06:41He's kept his eye on it.
06:42Very brave.
06:44Not on his strongest foot, the right.
06:54Rojas.
06:55Estai.
06:57Zamorano.
06:58Son of Chile's football is so neat.
07:05Villarreal.
07:08Acuna.
07:10Rojas is all on his own on this near side.
07:14Now, what about the quality of the cross?
07:16Three waiting.
07:18And it was Villarreal who arrived beyond the back post.
07:23Paraguay's was in there as well.
07:50Paraguay's was in there as well.
07:52That was fantastic skill.
07:53That was fantastic skill by Baggio.
07:54Just bided time.
07:55What a lovely ball.
07:57And he'll be disappointed there.
07:58You're not going to get a better chance than that in the World Cup.
08:04Zamarano.
08:12And the third attempt is Villa-Roel.
08:31Costa Corte
08:33Chiesa
08:35This is Inzaghi
08:40And Roberto Baggio
08:42Appeals for handball, penalty given
08:49Well there was no hesitation
08:52From Monsieur Bouchardot of Niger
08:57This is a little bit unlucky
08:59Some you get, some you don't
09:01The referees definitely give that one
09:12Fuentes was the defender
09:15Ball to hand or hand to ball
09:19The referee said penalty
09:22And four years on
09:23From that steamy evening
09:25In the Rose Bowl
09:27In Pasadena
09:30It is the man they call the divine ponytail
09:33Who must take responsibility
09:37No ponytail
09:40But that must be going through his mind now
09:44Nowhere near as important
09:48But still a moment to test the steel and the nerve
09:52Baggio
09:522-2
09:56Not a man to be found wanting
10:02And bearing in mind
10:04And bearing in mind what he went through
10:05In 94
10:07You can only applaud Roberto Baggio
10:10For having the guts to take it
10:12Excellent penalty
10:13The goalkeeper did get his hand to it
10:15But he deserved this Baggio
10:17Concentration
10:18Gives his eye on the ball
10:22He passes it into the corner
10:23He passes it into the corner
10:24As I say
10:24The goalkeeper got his hand to it
10:26But he does deserve it
10:27Because he has showed today
10:29Some excellent touches of class
10:31And that's what Roberto Baggio's about
10:33Five minutes to go
10:34And surely a cathartic moment
10:37For Roberto Baggio
10:39And possibly for Italy as well
10:47It's left for Roberto Baggio
10:49To curl
10:50And it brought a very uncertain punch
10:53This is Albertini
11:00No doubt which team is finishing the stronger now
11:03Yeah, it's a great ball in by Baggio
11:05I think he has shot
11:06Maldini's just missed it
11:08Goalkeeper's flopped at it
11:09It's a good punch actually
11:18The final whistle
11:22And a 2-2 draw
11:24The result between the group favourites
11:26And in many senses the unknown quantities
11:29About whom we now know a great deal more
11:32Nelson Acosta's team have acquitted themselves well
11:36But thanks to the late penalty
11:39By Roberto Baggio
11:41They still seek
11:43The first World Cup victory in 36 years
11:47Italy given a rude shock or two along the way
11:51Open their campaign
11:53With one point from their opening match
11:57In a game that had something for everyone
12:01Periods when it sank below the level of entertainment
12:04That we might have expected
12:05But also one or two high spots
12:08And one imagines that Chile
12:11Will be happier with a draw
12:12Than the Italians
12:14Doesn't call it
12:14And a game that needs to be
12:15Setting up the interrupal
