00:00Two teams meet, it's perhaps worth mentioning that the green numbers may be less around the ground,
00:08but they're intermingled with the orange.
00:11Why is it that only when England are involved do we talk about segregation in the crowd?
00:16The Dutch team, one significant change, Michael Reisiger is playing instead of Adam Winter,
00:22a defender for a midfield player with thoughts, no doubt, of Cuauhtemoc Blanco in mind.
00:34Mexico in white make three changes, Carmona comes in in place of the suspended Pado who was sent off against
00:42Belgium,
00:44and German Villar and Luna both start.
00:50And it's Toulouse on Monday, or Montellier, or home at the weekend for three teams involved in this groupie.
01:03Interesting first piece of play by Edwin van der Sur.
01:09Both goalkeepers getting an early field, here's Jorge Campos, he's very much smaller than his opposite number.
01:16Manuel La Fuente, from Mexico, the second time he's had the role,
01:22and he has a side of enterprise, entertainment, and no mean ability.
01:30Mark Obermars.
01:34Ronald De Boer.
01:38In by Reisiger, a little leap by Bergkamp.
01:43A little uncomfortable for Suarez, and not taken too comfortably.
01:52Vim Jonk with the shot.
01:56Some doubt about Vim Jonk playing in this match.
01:59His best friend sadly was killed in a car crash, and his funeral was today,
02:03and there was a thought that he would go, he wanted to, but in the end put his country first.
02:13Sanchez.
02:17Stump.
02:19De Boer.
02:26Very useful ball.
02:28First opportunity for Cocoon, he takes it.
02:34Done it again.
02:39Beautifully played through.
02:41That was an inch-perfect ball by Bergkamp.
02:44Once again under Cocoon's left foot.
02:46Crossed the goalkeeper.
02:49Goalkeeper was panic-stricken, I felt, as Cocoon came through.
02:52He couldn't come out for it.
02:53It was a lovely weighted ball.
02:55Completely split with three young central defenders.
03:02Beer.
03:05See Aspi can take over.
03:07That's a free kick against Davids.
03:12It's taken quickly.
03:16That's a good strike and a really good save, denying Ramirez.
03:22Blanco.
03:24Again Blanco.
03:26And then Andes hoping that the Dutch goalkeeper wouldn't hold it.
03:30He was in there very quickly, but a good initial save.
03:43Bit untidy, still untidy, and the opportunity is there, and it hits the post and goes in.
03:50And De Boer has added number two for defending and persistence by the scorer, Ronald De Boer.
04:11Here's Reisicke.
04:17Overmars.
04:20Pulled them completely.
04:22Disappeared through a hole in the turf.
04:25Bergkamp.
04:27And still Davids.
04:29Maybe Davids slightly in Bergkamp's way.
04:31He took the ground that the Arsenal player wanted to move into, I think.
04:44Suarez.
04:47He's given it away, and Kempos has to recover.
04:54Did well, the goalkeeper.
04:58Well, when the awards are given at the end of the tournament for the strange events,
05:02that will be, or might have been, the most unusual goal of the tournament.
05:06Well done, Kempos.
05:08Chris Hiddink.
05:11Coach of Holland, with every reason to be satisfied with the score.
05:15About 100% with his team.
05:20Newman.
05:30It well.
05:32Overmars.
05:35Good running by Koku.
05:37Possession by Bergkamp.
05:40Ronald De Boer.
05:43Davids.
05:46Newman.
05:48Harmona for company.
05:54Early ball in.
05:56Good play.
05:57And Overmars with...
06:00An unlucky finish.
06:03Well, it looked like being a delightful one.
06:06But the pace of the early ball in was what created the opening there.
06:10Well, it was an audacious piece of play there by Overmars.
06:13What a goal that would have been.
06:26Well, at halftime, the masked ranks of Orange all around the stadium are celebrating their country,
06:35leading by two goals to nil, and seemingly in control of the match.
06:40Although one should perhaps remind them that Belgium were ahead of this Mexican side, 2-0, but pulled it back
06:46to 2-2.
07:02Can Mexico do it again, or are we about to see an exhibition of the skills of the Orange men?
07:10Here's Blanco, who's been very quiet, hasn't had much supply.
07:17Since the second goal, it's been pretty well one-way traffic.
07:22And not very good defending, and that was the first example of the second half.
07:27And here's Bim Yonk, as well, with his long legs to pull it down.
07:33The cap's off.
07:35So he's thrown it in the ring.
07:39In by Newman.
07:47It's through to Hernandez.
07:49That's well taken.
07:50Back again.
07:53I don't know, the supplier, Blanco.
08:06Pretty high position.
08:10The clauses for the man making it down to ground level.
08:15Newman.
08:20Being escorted away, the reason for the boos.
08:23Meanwhile, on the football pitch.
08:26Here's Newman.
08:28Here's Bergkamp.
08:30So easy.
08:32Oh!
08:33Cuckoo off the crossbar.
08:37Lovely combination.
08:39Bergkamp and Cuckoo.
08:41Invitation to score.
08:43Villar.
08:47Five players forward for him.
08:50Arilano again.
08:53Two in the middle.
08:55And Pelayas couldn't get his head on it.
09:00Instinbochard was the player.
09:06Mexico pressing hard here.
09:12Stam can't get it away.
09:14But it's out for a corner.
09:20Villa will take the corner.
09:28Nodded down.
09:30And it's gone in.
09:35And Winston Borjaard and Blanco both went together.
09:41Who got the final touch did either.
09:45I don't think Mexico will mind.
09:47They've got back to 2-1.
09:48And they're congratulating the player who played the ball in.
09:52The old man of the party has scored a goal which has lifted the Mexicans here.
09:59Mexico is certainly threatening to do to Holland what they did to Belgium.
10:02Yeah, they're given a terrific finish.
10:04Well, we've got to hope that Mexico go in the hat.
10:05And Arilano once again.
10:17Oh!
10:19Carmano's cross.
10:22And it was Arilano who somehow got from the 18-yard to the 6-yard line in minor seconds.
10:30Just couldn't get a touch on the ball.
10:34Pelayas.
10:37Villa.
10:38Needs a better ball this time.
10:40And it is a better ball!
10:42Blanco!
10:44Flag is up!
10:45Flag is up!
10:46It won't count!
10:51Suddenly, Mexican delight turns to Mexicans distraught.
10:57They thought they'd done it again and a red card has been shown.
11:05Ramirez complaining.
11:14Davids.
11:21Really have lost their way.
11:31Hernandez!
11:36It's 2-2!
11:39Well, well done, Mexico!
11:47Hernandez!
11:50Third goal of this World Cup.
11:55Well, Stam didn't get that ball away.
11:58Hernandez just towed it as Edwin van der Sar lunged.
12:03And it was thoroughly deserved for a magnificent grandstand finish by the 10 men from Mexico.
12:09And they've got the 2-2 draw.
12:12And what a contrast with the last match here.
12:16Now the fans are in mutual congratulations.
12:20Because both these sides go through.
12:24And you have to hand it to the Mexicans.
12:27They were down and out at 2-0.
12:29And they pulled back at 2-2.
12:31It was a nice single one and we're doom.
12:31Now they help this hold at 2-2 draw.
12:31Now let's check on the fifth row.
