00:10Zanetti, to Veyron.
00:13Clivert's first touch.
00:16And his second.
00:18Davids scored the all-important goal against Yugoslavia.
00:22His first for his country.
00:29Davids.
00:31His other ball was going to go out, but I didn't think it actually did.
00:36But the assistant referee says that it did.
00:43Owen Powell of Jamaica is on this side.
00:46And Elias Salinas-Rostran of Honduras is on the far side.
00:54Good lean-in.
00:57And Lopez finds the verdict given against him.
01:02While leaning in on the Reisiger.
01:04He was doing his best to hold him off and succeeded.
01:09There's good covering by Reisiger.
01:11It was important that he got across.
01:14Looks for the return.
01:15Gets it.
01:17Clivert.
01:19His first appearance since being sent off in their opening game.
01:23Here's Bergkamp.
01:24It was casually given away.
01:29Clivert.
01:30Good challenge.
01:31Cuckoo.
01:32Instant shot.
01:33Jönk.
01:34Hit the post.
01:36Clivert.
01:38Argentina all over the place, but they survive.
01:41The Dutch unlucky.
01:43The goal shook from Brim Jönk.
01:46But the ball would not go in.
01:49Cuckoo did really well.
01:51It was deflected off on Argentine.
01:53Straight to Jönk.
01:54Look at the shutter.
01:56It was a good opportunity because the goalkeeper was caught surprised.
02:03This hitting coach of Holland.
02:07It's testing and that's well claimed.
02:09Nice little flick on by Ronald de Boer.
02:15Enterprising play out on the left by Bergkamp.
02:21Ronald de Boer.
02:23Good block.
02:26That's by Sensini.
02:28He's following Bergkamp.
02:30That's a good piece of play.
02:33Nice little return.
02:34Clivert.
02:35Lovely play by Holland.
02:38Ronald de Boer.
02:40Bergkamp.
02:41And Patrick Clivert makes his first impression at the highest level.
02:5411 minutes and 34 seconds.
02:57Holland's 10th goal of World Cup 98.
03:04What a superb angled pass here by Ronald de Boer.
03:08The most fantastic player in my view.
03:10And Bergkamp's vision to play that ball square across the box.
03:14And Clivert's nous.
03:16He knew that Bergkamp was going to put it into the space.
03:19And there he was.
03:21Casually lifting it past the goalkeeper on his left-hand side.
03:24A man under pressure.
03:26A man now relieved of a lot of that pressure.
03:29Putting the dot in a fantastic opening start.
03:32Doing what their coach was hitting said was important.
03:36Said it would be much the best for the team that gets control of things in the first period.
03:46There's Ronald de Boer.
03:48Clivert.
03:50Vimyonk.
03:54Bergkamp had some seeding in the ball at the same time.
04:03Vimyonk.
04:19Vimyonk.
04:24Campeones is the early cry from the Ducks' report.
04:28Here's Ortega.
04:29Being given a reasonable amount of room, albeit wide.
04:32Two in the middle.
04:33Battistuta makes one run.
04:34Then another.
04:35Covered by Newman.
04:37Stump.
04:46Ayala.
04:48Ayala.
04:50Lopez.
04:52Bowers out.
04:55That was a good decision by the linesman.
04:58Lopez was right on top of him.
05:02This is this one.
05:03He's joined us late.
05:03He's out because of a hamstring injury.
05:06Ooh.
05:07A referee will not like that challenge one little bit.
05:11And he gave him the final opportunity.
05:14Not really much of a scorer, Viron.
05:16In his career.
05:18But he's a real powerhouse.
05:20Flag stays down.
05:22And this is Lopez.
05:23And it is 1-1.
05:26And the Ducks look at the linesman.
05:29And history repeats itself.
05:31They looked at the linesman four years ago when they went out in this round against Brazil.
05:36But there was no flag then.
05:38And there's been no flag now.
05:41Lopez's goal for Argentina stands.
05:44And suddenly the delight is in a different colour.
05:51I think we've got a fabulous game in the making now.
05:53You see the cleverness there of Lopez's run.
05:56It was Viron, the player we were discussing, who's made that super pass.
06:01Viron made the ball into the inside right channel.
06:04Lopez, another of those left to right runs across the face of the defence, dummied van der Sar and had
06:10the audacity to place it through his legs.
06:12And I think that the assistant referee was absolutely right with his decision.
06:18The Dutch were caught out as they were by the Brazilians.
06:25One, one, game on.
06:30Free kick for the challenge on Ronald De Boer.
06:35His credence in orchestrating the start of the Dutch goal has now been nullified.
06:44Björnk to take the free kick.
06:46Stam is up.
06:48A lot of jostling for position.
06:51Got six players in the 18-yard area had the Dutch.
06:58That's a good try, but he didn't really get any power behind the header.
07:03Without over Mars, the Dutch have got to work the ball more to make the opportunities.
07:08They haven't got the pace to really get behind.
07:10And there's Bergkamp coming towards the play, which he so often does,
07:13showing to make the passes to bring the midfield in.
07:16This is Davids.
07:18Good, positive run by Davids.
07:23Well, it got the ooh from the crowd.
07:25And the applause from...
07:29Stomp.
07:32Something at the early pace, as I understand, will be dropped from the game.
07:38Bergkamp did well to get a second bite.
07:40Kluivert, Kluivert, nice little thing.
07:41Davids!
07:44Kluivert!
07:46Interesting block by the goalkeeper.
07:48He was going off a little bit the other way, I think.
07:50Got his body there.
07:53It was a clever lay-off.
07:55And Davids hit it instantly, and you could see there, Rowa, going slightly to his left, and then having to
08:02palm away.
08:05Davids.
08:10Yonk.
08:14Ronald De Boer.
08:16Bergkamp in the line with the right-hand post.
08:18Kluivert a bit further over.
08:19Now comes to the back of the box.
08:21And this is Yonk.
08:23That's a lovely strike at the ball, and he's well-parried.
08:37Terrific play once again to set the play-off.
08:40Fine block by Rowa.
08:46Got his shooter to come from the right.
08:48Stam follows his run.
08:51Pool are too short anyway.
08:56Got on.
08:57Ortega.
08:58Shooting chance on here if he wants it.
09:00And he does, and he hits the post!
09:06So that evens up that department as well.
09:09A goal apiece.
09:11A post apiece.
09:15Super shot.
09:16A real bomb, that.
09:17And when it exploded onto the post, I think Bandersaar knew he was beaten.
09:23Here's Patrick Lovett.
09:25Simeone capable of a long throw.
09:30Doesn't use it.
09:31Ortega.
09:33Two weight in the middle.
09:36And up comes Verón.
09:38Not the best of headers by Kukou.
09:40And Zanetti.
09:42Oh, it just keeps sticking around his feet.
09:46It's a lovely drive by Simeone.
09:51But unfortunately for Argentina, he didn't quite get a sufficient number of degrees round to get it on target.
10:00That is Stüter who played it to him.
10:03Didn't miss by much.
10:28One minute shown on the board, and there goes the halftime whistle.
10:33And the end of a really good and interesting half with the score at 1-1.
10:45Here's your counter.
10:46Gives the ball to Dennis Bergkamp.
10:48We get the second half underway.
10:50I wonder if he's going to be fussed about climate being in the wrong half of the field.
11:04There's Newman.
11:09Kukou had a slightly curious first half at times.
11:13Totally different role from the one he's been playing and the one he didn't expect to play,
11:16but was brought upon by the sending off of Patrick Claverett in the first match.
11:22He's deeper today and not always to 100% purpose.
11:29Frank de Boer.
11:32Stump.
11:40Comparable for Ayala.
11:46Peron.
11:48Big kick.
11:51Young disappointed.
11:57Young.
11:59A couple of miles now with the Zarin shirt on, ready to join the fray.
12:07It's a good interception by Chamot.
12:09It's Ortega, taken on by Beron.
12:12Left side is Lopez.
12:13Right side is Batistuta.
12:15It's for Batistuta, who's inside Frank de Boer.
12:19And it's the inside of the far post.
12:24He's very unlucky.
12:26And the Dutch, in great simplicity, with pace, good quality of pass, good control, and so very nearly the final
12:36finish were torn apart.
12:39Fantastic left foot shot.
12:41Great late by Veron.
12:43Once again, van der Sar looks back in relief, not in anger.
12:49And here now on the pitch is Mark Overmars, and he's replaced Ronald de Boer.
12:56Suffering from a hamstring problem, which kept him out of the starting line-up.
13:00So this is a little bit of a gamble here by Urus Hiddink.
13:03But he's immediately testing them for his pace.
13:07Different role now, different task for Simeone.
13:10Good early ball.
13:11Clavet!
13:12Good save!
13:23And in fact, the header was from Cuckoo, as you may well have picked.
13:26No, it wasn't.
13:27It was from Clavet.
13:28Cuckoo came across in front of him.
13:29It confused me.
13:30On the replay, really good header by Clavet.
13:40Frank de Boer, on the near edge of the six-yard area, just brushed the balding plate of Jaap Stoom.
13:54The Dutch going for even greater width now over Mars, and right-footed cross.
14:01Fantastic leap.
14:03There we see the first incident.
14:06Reisiger going the long way around successfully.
14:10But that wasn't a good ball.
14:11Veron, there's a chance of a break.
14:15Beautiful pace, and Newman coming across.
14:19And the referee looks.
14:22Newman has already been booked and is off.
14:28Determination to get the ball.
14:31And this referee, except for the game between England and Colombia, has always dispatched one man in the World Cup.
14:40And this man is Newman.
14:43Well, we were worried about this aspect before the game.
14:47Whether we could have ten outfield players be ten, even if we had to go to the agonising golden goal.
14:53He definitely caught Simeone late.
14:54I don't think the referee's got any alternative.
14:56It's a yellow card offence, which makes a red card offence if you've had one previously.
15:02Simeone really powered onto that ball.
15:05It had come from a break by Veer on Veer, and I thought also possibly would have been fouled.
15:11That's a real sadness for the orange men.
15:14Before the end of the 90.
15:17Chamot.
15:19Batistuta.
15:20Chamot.
15:22Davids.
15:25Bergkamp.
15:26Didn't get it away.
15:28Simeone.
15:30Batistuta.
15:31Space right side for Ortega.
15:33Found by Zanetti.
15:35Ortega.
15:36Thought about the shot.
15:37Simeone's was blocked by Reisinger.
15:39Ortega again.
15:41Lopez far side.
15:42Two around the penalty spot.
15:44Ortega goes one way and then the other.
15:49The upstamp looks at the referee.
15:53The referee shows the red card.
16:01Ortega.
16:04For what looked like an uppercut.
16:07Is removed.
16:12In the challenge with Stam.
16:16The referee got himself in a good position.
16:19He was looking to go over the leg that was outstretched.
16:25The stretcher has come on.
16:29Ortega has gone off.
16:31What is not yet clear is what the referee has done about the initial challenge by the upstamp.
16:39This is what followed.
16:41And it was a headbutt into Van Der Zee.
16:44By Ortega.
16:48Who was complaining clearly about Ortega trying to get the penalty.
16:56But it was more costly to the Argentine because he was utterly stupid.
17:01And there is a free kick to Holland.
17:05The referee are judging that Ortega had made a meal of that.
17:38Here is Lopez.
17:40And the referee has won it for Holland.
17:42And the referee has won it for Holland.
17:43That was absolutely brilliant.
17:51From adversity to triumph for the Ducks.
18:00They who were silent are now in song.
18:09It was the most fantastic diagonal ball.
18:13And Bergkamp has the touch of a master as he pulls that down.
18:18Faints to go outside.
18:20Touches it inside.
18:22Outside of the right foot.
18:23I think the BBC have seen those goals before somewhere.
18:27Shades of Leicester City away from home for Arsenal.
18:30What a player.
18:34The real Dennis Bergkamp emerges when he's needed most.
18:44We're in the 46th minute.
18:50The lines are cleared.
18:53The fourth official waits to hold up the board.
18:55Hasn't done so yet.
18:56There's to be a late substitution.
18:59If there is time for him to come on.
19:01Abul Balbo.
19:04Survivor of 1994.
19:06It's a question whether Argentina can survive in 98.
19:11Mike Overmars.
19:15Cleared by Stam.
19:17Well, I wonder what Stam is thinking at this moment.
19:24Balbo will come on.
19:2833-year-old who plays for Roma.
19:30And the man he's replaced is Chamot.
19:3518-year-old.
19:3818-year-old.
19:45Beneta.
19:47Davits.
19:49Bergkamp.
19:51Cleared by our side.
19:52Davits rather close to two and has found this race.
19:59And here's Cleared.
20:05Well, Bergkamp can do everything.
20:07He can head, he can shoot, he can pass.
20:09The ball he rolled there for Davids was delicious.
20:15Beneta.
20:17Both coaches on the edge of the area that they patrol.
20:21This is Lopez who's had a fine match.
20:26Off the head of Frank De Boer.
20:30Bergkamp.
20:30Down the line.
20:33Roa comes to collect.
20:36The Ducks pushing forward.
20:39Argentina have a man offside at the moment.
20:41Their captain, Simeone.
20:44Away by Stam.
20:46Back by Veron.
20:50Beneta.
21:02All the Dutch in the crowd.
21:05Encouraging the referee for the final whistle.
21:07But the one he blows is for a free kick against Davids.
21:15This is Sanetti.
21:17Balbo.
21:18Balbo.
21:21Five in the area if he can find a cross.
21:26Overmiles struggling to get to the ball.
21:28Lopez does well again.
21:30Batistuta.
21:31Good attempt.
21:35By Sensini.
21:41Hebert looks to go.
21:42Ayala cuts it out quite beautifully.
21:50Blank was up for an offside.
21:53Daniel Passarello is going to quit at the end of the competition.
21:58They will be quitting in a matter of seconds.
22:00Veyron.
22:01Forward.
22:03Well up.
22:04Well out by Kuku.
22:07Wimionk.
22:11The wise head just keeps possession.
22:14Frank de Boer.
22:15Flaubert.
22:17The Dutch are through to the semi-final.
22:20A magnificent match.
22:24Both with a man sent off.
22:27When Argentina had the advantage.
22:29Ortega, who had shown something of the style of the man he's replaced.
22:33Then found the other side of that character that behaved quite stupidly.
22:37And Bergkamp, from a magnificent pass to him, found a finish.
