00:00made his World Cup debut, otherwise they were unchanged from the team which finished the game
00:04against Jamaica. Croatia's captain Boban was back from injury, Maric made his first start,
00:09and the commentary comes from Barry Davis.
00:13Sanovic, two in the middle.
00:21Well covered, finally out by Pineda.
00:26Bilić of Everton, not a bad ball for Schuchert, oh it's on the roof, the goalkeeper didn't know
00:34where it was, thumbs up for the pass and a very good one by Bilić.
00:42The goalkeeper much relieved, Veyron, Ortega, suddenly they've got two between four defenders
00:52and the back man, and here's Gallardo, challenged by Bilić and couldn't get it right.
01:09Boban.
01:13This is a good run by Boban, shooting chances of poorly taken, having made the room for
01:20himself, it really was not a good finish.
01:26Just running away from him a little bit I think.
01:35Bilić, another diver.
01:39Ardo, Tega, Batistuta, the other way is Beneta.
01:44Goals!
01:45Fine finish.
01:51Got a little deflection, but look how it sits, and look how well he finishes.
02:01Ortega's attempted through ball, and the deflection off the head, and the use of the
02:04chest, and it sits just where he wants.
02:08The flick of the left boot puts Argentina in front.
02:18Ortega, Batistuta to the right, two others coming up from behind.
02:23And Ortega wants to go along, is blocked on the edge of the area, and the yellow card
02:30shown against Soldo.
02:40Straight into the wall, the follow-up was good, and the goalkeeper is lucky, twice.
02:46The flag went up, the second one wouldn't have counted.
02:53Offside in the final analysis.
03:04Nicely done, Bilić!
03:06Oh, he's unlucky!
03:08Off the crossbar.
03:10Real incision on that occasion.
03:13Good ball through to him.
03:15And he struck it without hesitation.
03:22Soldo now in midfield, with Stimats at the back.
03:28Gallardo!
03:30Oh, he's disappointed after a good run.
03:37Got away from the first challenge, the push and pull.
03:40And a second, inside his man, thought he'd placed it wider, the goalkeeper.
03:47Passing for passing sake, just to keep possession.
03:50Not going anywhere, but Croatia can't get the ball.
03:53And they might suddenly go somewhere now.
03:55Batistuta's pulled away on the far side.
03:56This is Simeone!
03:58Goalkeeper did well with his left leg.
04:02In the end, they teased Croatia, changed the pace, found the opening.
04:10That's what's so dangerous about a side of quality.
