00:01...playing Real Madrid's Miatovic as their lone striker.
00:04Your commentators, Ian St. John and Peter Drury.
00:20Tobor, lovely turn.
00:21Tobor for Cocu, and Cocu for Sadov.
00:26That's the best bet of football we've seen today.
00:28That was wonderful, started off by this man, Tobor.
00:36Tobor's corner, deeper one.
00:39Bergkamp beneath it, Komljenovic away.
00:46Frank Tobor, lovely ball, Bergkamp's first to it.
00:49Mirkovic challenges, but coming!
00:53It was coming, and the source is no surprise.
01:09Dennis Bergkamp now is jointly the most political scorer in the history of Dutch international football.
01:19This for him was orange goal, number 35.
01:23While he was so strong, he held off a defender on his right foot, and lands it underneath the goalkeeper.
01:30You may blame the goalkeeper a little bit, but he was pretty close, and there was a bit of power.
01:35Lovely ball for Frank Tobor at the back there.
01:38Bergkamp just peeled off the last defender into that space.
01:41You know, the Dutch have wanted, I was saying before about the space behind the defenders.
01:46They wanted to bring them up towards the halfway line, and use the space behind them.
01:50That's what Dennis Bergkamp did there.
01:58Well, now let's see whether the game does open up.
02:01I think it's got to open up, Peter.
02:04They're quite happy, I think Yugoslavia at 0-0, doing a good containing job, but now they've got to go
02:10for it.
02:26And the side has had little trouble him hitherto, but Sinise Mihailovic is giving himself quite a run at this.
02:35And he has quite a left foot.
02:37It is Mihailovic.
02:39Oh, it was quite an effort.
02:43Well, the goalkeeper did very well to hang on to that.
02:47That was a difficult ball.
02:48I mean, there was a lot of power in it.
02:49It was coming right underneath him, almost by just before.
02:52And that's a difficult ball for the goalkeeper.
02:54He kept his eye on it, got down there and smothered it.
03:02Yugovic for Miasevic.
03:07Rizalic has gone down.
03:08Rizalic has gone down.
03:15Rizalic was the man competing for the ball.
03:22It's Stojkovic to the back post.
03:24It's an equaliser.
03:38It's Slavodan Komljenevic who got up highest at the back post.
03:45And who met what was a beautifully flighted free kick from Stojkovic.
03:51He was on his own when the ball missed all the orange shirts.
03:54I mean, he was at the back there just to nod it down.
03:57That was poor marking by the Ducks.
04:03Yes, which pressurizing the up-stand.
04:22Well, I'll tell you, that goal has breathed a bit of life into this game now.
04:27It's exactly what the game needed.
04:31Mihailovic.
04:33Stojkovic.
04:35Yugovic making a run for him.
04:37This is Yugovic.
04:38And he's trying to get past Stam.
04:40And Stam has conceded a penalty.
04:44Well, Stam is mystified by this.
04:46He had a handful of his shirt.
04:48Well, if he's pulled his jersey, then he deserves all he gets.
04:52Because it was a penalty given in the Brazilian game.
04:55And, you know, he deserves all he gets for pulling the jersey.
04:58And we've been on about this since the World Cup started.
05:00And I'm glad the referees, you know, are tightening up on this.
05:14It is Mihailovic.
05:15He's hit the crossbar.
05:19And the chance has come and gone.
05:23What a letter for the Dutch.
05:37Well, they're trying to say that the Stam tournament, the Bergkamp Stam tournament.
05:41I have to say, I didn't see anything there.
05:48Bergkamp steps over him to go for the ball.
05:50Steps on him.
05:54That was a challenge for the ball.
05:56And he's giving his three yellow cards to Yugoslavs.
05:59Why is he doing that?
06:00They've obviously been protesting.
06:02They're having a laugh about it.
06:06Well, here's a penalty kick.
06:07And, I mean, the ball nearly rebounded up the other end.
06:10What a wacky give, that.
06:15Lovely ball from Koku for Reisiger.
06:19The world of all.
06:23Taking on Komunovic.
06:24The ball is cross!
06:25Yes!
06:27Koku, I think, with a diving header.
06:30And it was a terrific ball in by De Boer.
06:34And really, you know, you get a diving header.
06:36Like, I think you must burst into it with it.
06:38And now here is...
06:41Mihailovic's replacement.
06:42...
06:45...
06:46...
06:46...
06:49This is a first taste of the World Cup.
06:52We're placing France with Bordeaux.
06:57Reisiger's throw-in.
06:58Seeking up Bergkamp.
07:00Who immediately got close to pick on the wrong side of the...
07:05...
07:05I think he's given a foul against Bergkamp.
07:07Koku turned it in.
07:09And Bergkamp has been penalised...
07:13...
07:13...
07:13...
07:14...
07:17...
07:17...
07:18...
07:18...
07:20He pinched through it up there, Sivelic went to head the ball, Dennis Bergkamp lifted it straight there, and that
07:25was the foul.
07:29The skipper with a chance to galvanise, maybe for last time in the 90 minutes.
07:37Seedorf got it back from De Boer and hit one!
07:43The clan Seedorf's had a terrific game tonight, you know, he really has pulled the strings in midfield, done everything
07:50right, this was a rasping shot.
07:5391 minutes played, Overmars got the corner short, Overmars short!
07:59It's another very, very good save.
08:03Well, they went to Sive at the corner, kicked the Yugoslavs, nobody had marked him at all, and they just
08:08picked his, picked the ball up, run inside, cracked it, but he's left it, and what a good save by
08:12the goalkeeper, because it got a deflection from Petrovic.
08:15And this is Davids, Edgar Davids!
08:18Oh, he's done it!
08:22It's inside normal time, but my word, it's a golden goal for the Dutch!
08:37A man who's international career is reborn!
08:43Well, they lost the concentration, but don't they doubt, the Yugoslavs, at both the corner kicks, that got a deflection
08:48as well.
08:50Unless you're here, deflected off, but it's certainly got a little flick off somebody in the middle of the far
08:55corner.
08:58But they went to sleep at the corner kicks, they didn't pick men up.
09:02And in this case, in a game, it's suicide to do that.
09:13Bergkamp, anywhere will do.
09:15Isn't it great to see a great player, booting it?
09:18Not often you see Dennis Bergkamp do that, kick it as high as you could.
09:24Jukanovic, Jukanovic, Berdovic, they've got to get it in the box, the Yugoslavs.
09:35Newman into the Nationwide League third division.
09:44What a noise the Dutch are making now.
09:55It's all gone orange.
09:58It was very, very, very late that Evkanovic struck.
10:03But for all their possession and all their poise, Holland's finally got their award.
10:11And whilst Yugoslav heads are hung, for Holland it's a wonderful moment.
10:20One feels for Kredrag, Jukanovic, who missed the penalty for Yugoslavia.
10:26And one feels for the whole Yugoslav team.
10:29But for those of us who simply enjoy watching Holland play football,
10:34one feels good that they are one of the last eight.
10:38It's finished in Toulouse, Holland two, Yugoslavia one.
10:43And for the Dutch, it's England or Argentina next.
