00:00Hamann, who both came on as substitutes in the win over the United States, replaced Reuter
00:04and Hessler, who'd been struggling with an ankle injury. Yugoslavia brought in three
00:08players, including 19-year-old midfielder Dejan Stankovic. The former Aston Villa striker
00:13Savo Milosevic was dropped. Commentary from Trevor Brookings and John Champion, and what
00:17a match this was.
00:23Now Stankovic. Now Jokanovic. Now Toppen Betten with a step forward from midfield. Stojkovic
00:31on his right foot!
00:38That far away, and I'm not sure if he could have got to it.
00:46Now Petrovic. Yugoslavia's making a run through the centre.
00:54Ljatovic. Ball crossed in towards Kovacevic. And Stankovic went in. Whether he made contact
01:01or not is a moot point, but he claims the goal. Jeremis could do nothing to keep the ball out.
01:08And Ivica Kral salutes the opening goal, which has gone to Yugoslavia.
01:15But still the question remains over who will get credited with the goal.
01:19Mijatovic possibly, who made the cross. Stankovic seemed to claim it, but didn't appear to touch
01:24the ball. Kupka did, and he was the last so to do.
01:29A good deep run by Stankovic. As you say, it came off the body of Kupka. He was worried
01:33about the touch. Mijatovic knocking the original cross in. Yugoslavia started confidently.
01:40Now the boost of a goal. We have got a game on that hands.
01:53Jeremis.
01:56He was tumbled over.
02:10Andy Muller seems prepared to strike this. It is Muller!
02:20That's a good strike. Kral started to go to his right, then having to adjust.
02:25And I think if that had dipped under the crossbar, he wouldn't have got a hand to it.
02:28You can see it swinging away from him. He'd moved to his right, so he had a bit of way
02:31to get back.
02:33No contact.
02:35Petrovic.
02:41Ligoslavia playing happily with a bit of verve.
02:45Petrovic's shots! And Kupka was fully extended.
02:51Great strike there. Petrovic working the shooting chance.
02:54Hitting it to the left of Kupka. He had to go full stretch on its way in.
03:03This is Konyanovic.
03:05And Stankovic is pretty well unmarked in the middle.
03:08Jukanovic.
03:11Back out to Stojkovic.
03:13He's really the playmaker.
03:15And there's no flag! This is Kovacovic!
03:19Well, a corner has been given.
03:23And Germany amystified as to why there was no flag, but the reason was that Christian Werns, in the foreground
03:30of your picture there, played them onside.
03:36Five Yugoslav attackers inside the penalty area.
03:40And a horrible mess as the ball arrived at the near post.
03:45Very ungainly from Kupka.
03:56Foto Mateusz is coming on.
03:59He...
04:01Is playing in his 22nd match at the World Cup Finals, which is a new world record.
04:06He shared the old one with Uwe Sailor, Maradona, and Vladislav Zamuda of Poland.
04:11And he also equals the record, as Bertie Vokes wishes him well, of the Mexican goalkeeper Antonio Caballal, of playing
04:20in five different World Cups.
04:30Ziga.
04:35Interception by Jukanovic.
04:38And Jukanovic was dropping back from an offside position.
04:40Now returns it to Jukanovic.
04:44Kovacovic!
04:45And Stojkovic scores!
04:48After an error by the German goalkeeper Kupka.
04:55Dragan Stojkovic at 33, the veteran of the side.
05:01And a gentleman who feels he has a major point to prove.
05:05Scores a goal that may well, although it's early yet, secure victory for Yugoslavia.
05:22Toh.
05:25He's brought down by...
05:29...Govadorica.
05:36Toh.
05:38He's brought down by...
05:40...Govadorica.
05:40Tarnat.
05:41And it's an own goal.
05:44Mihailovic seemed to stick out a leg.
05:47And Germany are back in the game.
05:51It was fiercely struck by Mikael Tarnat, who has never scored for the German national team.
06:00And, sad to say, despite the power of the shot, it will be difficult for him to claim that one.
06:08Look at the space that Heinrich has found himself in.
06:11Kirsten is sprinting inside the penalty area.
06:13The cross is towards Kirsten!
06:15And it came last off a defender.
06:19It's a corner.
06:20And it wasn't too far from him being 2-2.
06:24So this is a real test for Yugoslavia.
06:32And the header!
06:35Well, Bierhoff and Kohler both turned as the ball headed goalwards.
06:39And started to raise their arms.
06:44It's Bierhoff who got up so well.
06:48And all they get from it is another corner.
06:54Thome.
06:57And Tarnat.
07:08Olaf Thome.
07:10He took the corners that caused the difficulties.
07:13Tarnat, who's added a fair deal since replacing Ziga.
07:16Again, Kirsten adopts his position.
07:19So too does Bierhoff.
07:22That's...
07:23Up the head of Stevic.
07:30Six in the box.
07:31Bierhoff!
07:40And in the space of a matter of minutes, there is a smile restored to the face of German football.
07:47And one wiped from the face of Yugoslav football.
07:53Well, Bierhoff nearly got it first time.
07:56It's a free header.
07:56I mean, he's made the run.
07:57Nobody's gone with him.
07:59Got between the two there.
08:01Jukovic is not the best in the air.
08:03A good header.
08:03Downward header.
08:04Suddenly, the whole game has been transformed.
08:11The Germans getting...
08:12The Germans getting...
