00:02Martinez, well seen, saw that coming, and Martinez got himself an absolute peach, and we have lift off, he just
00:12absolutely speared that in, yeah, you just don't save those, Peter, too much power on, and the manager's absolutely loving
00:18this.
00:20Argentina have taken the lead, well, I'd remind those players, Peter, that concentration will be key for a while now,
00:26as you don't want to hand the momentum straight back to your opposition.
00:30Messi, and this is Messi, that'll be a corner, China with their first corner, the first in the game for
00:35either side, actually.
00:39Hausson attempts a clearance.
00:44And there's the shot!
00:46Mikel Oyata-Ball.
00:50Forward tracking back like that, always appreciated by the crowd.
00:53Yeah, listen, we often get critical of a forwards tackle, but that was...
01:00Roger, the pass is intercepted, Merino, and it's Roger, Isco, and it's Merino.
01:08Two out of minutes has been indicated.
01:09Oh, that's delightful!
01:12And he's been shifted off it.
01:18Well, for me, Peter, things have never really got going, but at least this will be a good time to
01:22reflect and regroup.
01:24I could see a few changes coming, because whatever they've been doing, it just hasn't gelled.
01:28So that's how it stands at halfway.
01:30We'll be back with the second half very soon.
01:33Hostilities have resumed at the start of the second half.
01:37It's not easy being down in situations like this.
01:39I know it's an overused term, but you really have to play with courage.
01:42Be brave, and let's see where it gets you.
01:45You might just get lucky because of it.
01:49Now, can they get him away?
01:50Now it's Merino.
01:52Looking to play him in.
01:53It's a promising position.
01:55Delivers the ball.
01:56Real chance!
01:57And they're dazed.
02:00It's starting to look very interesting, this.
02:03This is exactly the kind of contest you'd expect when you have so much class from both sides.
02:07The next goal is going to be so significant.
02:15Messi.
02:17That's a cute ball.
02:18Now it's Merino.
02:19There's a sharp little ball here.
02:22Oh, he had to make that, and he did make it.
02:25He'll try to keep this alive.
02:27Merino delivered.
02:28Header!
02:29Lovely header, but...
