Transcript
00:00Duretta playing his fourth World Cup.
00:02Chelsea's new signing Alberto Ferrer was in the Spanish defence.
00:05Up front, Alfonso partnered Raul.
00:08Alfonso's Real Betis team-mate, Finidi George, was in Nigeria's starting line-up.
00:12Chelsea's Celestine Baballero and Terribo West of Inter Milan were in defence.
00:17It was watched by Chris Waddle and Barry Davis.
00:20Here we are.
00:23Group D, Spain against Nigeria.
00:27Spain playing from left to right.
00:28And a long ball and a fine save right at the beginning.
00:35Shot was from Raul.
00:43This is Raul.
00:46Luis Enrique inside him.
00:49Rather telegraph the pass to the oncoming Nero.
00:53In by Aujan off the crossbar.
00:56By Raul.
00:58From the crossbar, Ferrer.
01:05What a great ball in by Aujan.
01:08And Raul will be disappointed.
01:09That's two chances.
01:10He's probably thinking third-time lucky.
01:11But he could have directed the header down.
01:13And I'm sure it would have been a goal.
01:23And a free kick has been given for the challenge on Alphonso.
01:32Here is Raul.
01:36So he's left.
01:37The arrow's right.
01:41The arrow's right.
01:42And it's in!
01:49And it was just watched as it crossed the line.
01:56Second goal in World Cup football.
01:58His 16th in total for his country.
02:01Well played.
02:02But a bit of a softie.
02:06It's a nice strike.
02:08He's hit it where the goalkeeper stands.
02:09The goalkeeper's anticipated going over the wall.
02:11As you see, he's moved to his right.
02:13You've got to put the blame down to the goalkeeper.
02:15If he can get that up and over the wall,
02:17you've got to say it's a great goal.
02:18That is a simple goal.
02:20Bad goalkeeper.
02:27Bad goalkeeper.
02:32Going inside by Sergi.
02:34But here's Igpeba.
02:38Spunning a bit of room, the man from Monaco.
02:44There takes the near post in defence.
02:47Nobody on the far post.
02:48And it's in on the near post.
02:51And it's Adipoju who makes it 1-1.
02:59Two goals in three minutes.
03:01But it sets up the contest well.
03:06Jero went over his head and landed straight at Adipoju,
03:10whose nod beat the posse on the near post.
03:14Yes, Jero could have done better as well looking at it as it's gone in.
03:17I think it's...
03:18I think it's Kiko always marking him.
03:20And he's let him come off him.
03:21As he said, the ball's off behind me, Jero.
03:23It's another sloppy goal.
03:31He's got there.
03:34A little bit crowded.
03:36Good climb.
03:37Jero is a tall man anyway.
03:41Raúl.
03:43And here's Luis Enrique.
03:46Great appeals for a penalty by the Spanish behind that goal.
03:52One thing I would suggest is that Mabajaru didn't even know that Luis Enrique was there.
04:08First shout from Bora.
04:11First beat of the drum of the second half.
04:14Luis Enrique on the right side.
04:17Wanted it.
04:17Isn't going to get it.
04:18Raúl Maiten does it.
04:21Oh, that's a wonderful goal.
04:28What an introduction to World Cup football.
04:37Raúl González Blanco.
04:40Watches it come over his shoulder.
04:42Bang.
04:44Yes, he got in.
04:45He got in the first 10 seconds of the first half.
04:47It is the same combination again.
04:49Great ball by Jero.
04:50He's teammate at Real Madrid.
04:52He's just got the back of the fullback.
04:55And what a great safe foot volley.
04:57He didn't lash it.
04:57He just placed it with a safe foot.
04:59Great contact.
05:08Fibach.
05:09Watch it.
05:11He's down as the player has gone down.
05:13Here's Lawal.
05:15Jachini.
05:16Nasty give it.
05:17Almost undid him.
05:20Lawal.
05:21Yes.
05:23Oh, dear.
05:26Fibach.
05:27Fibach will not be happy about that.
05:33Jachini started it.
05:35Lawal scored it from a very tight angle between goalkeeper and his right hand.
05:40Right hand close.
05:41Well, here it is.
05:42He's from the by lane.
05:43He's just trying to cross it.
05:46Again, Zubuzareta has anticipated it.
05:48He stuck his right hand out.
05:49And he pushed it into the goal.
05:51Lack of concentration on a very experienced goalkeeper.
06:02Biero.
06:07it's a very recent Rika is going to the center for position Raul further over
06:22hesitation first time but the wrong side of the post
06:29paper to corner it goes and it doesn't
