00:08Well, this was the European Cup winner's cup tie.
00:12And I said about ten days ago on BBC Wells that I didn't think that Cardiff City could beat Sporting
00:17Club of Portugal.
00:18After all, they beat Manchester in 1995 last year, they had a whole of the competition.
00:22And after all, one must assume that they were more accomplished performers than those of Cardiff City.
00:27What a wonderful performance it was by Cardiff City we could go to win two goals to one in Lisbon.
00:34Now, today, at Minium Park, they had to defend to keep what they'd gained in Lisbon.
00:40Now, this is not always an easy job. They used John Charles as the sweeper behind the defence.
00:45They had a wing half playing in the forward line.
00:48And early on in the game, we saw how dangerous the Sporting Club of Lisbon boys could be
00:52because Bill and John had to make three magnificent saves.
00:56But now, let's see how Cardiff City played it.
01:00I want to pick up the game with a score nil-nil in the first half.
01:03There areusss engines such as the Leafs.
01:21At the level of ojos.
01:21At the level of ojos.çç
01:24it'spper. Joe
01:28Moraliath. We've
01:32got a very good arrow.
01:32out of that tight position. See what King can do.
01:40Taps got very well in the air for a fellow who's not that great many inches.
01:45Now, Harrington, that's a nasty looking ball, it's Ham's! It's Ham's anyway!
01:50It was Ham's, and the referee spotted it.
01:57Tocari, what, just an hour away from the quarter-finals.
02:03This British crowd getting more and more excited as Tocari hold on.
02:09Now, it is to the Citoi. Figueiredo, that's the dangerous one, and a great save by John.
02:18Well, that's a warning to Cardi. How quickly Sporting Club can snap up the chances.
02:26The upside-right Farrell's got to take it. Now, watch for Big John.
02:32Oh, it's a goal kick. Never even got to Big John, it was Derek Tapscott.
02:43Osvaldo. Osvaldo. Citoi. Figueiredo, a beautiful one, and a great save by John.
02:59Come us out to Pinto. Osvaldo.
03:10Good ball by Mendes.
03:11Good ball by Mendes.
03:11And a brilliant tag of wide-run rings.
03:16That's the Citoi.
03:20Shouldn't have run that one.
03:25Taps look back to King.
03:27Spaddle off the right wing.
03:30Taps got a King of the middle.
03:33There's King.
03:34King.
03:37King.
03:42There's the referee again.
03:46Corner.
03:47Yes.
03:58Now King again.
04:02And what's Cardiff City qualify for this competition?
04:06Three long drawn-out games against Bangor City.
04:08It's hard to believe that they're beating the Sporting Club of Lesnar.
04:13Now here's Tapscott.
04:15Tapscott.
04:16Farrell.
04:17There's King, the inside left.
04:21Tapscott.
04:22Tapscott.
04:24And that I should have got another track.
04:26I should think there's a corner.
04:32Now...
04:32Uh-oh.
04:40Now one has to watch now.
04:43William's going up.
04:44Heavy.
04:45He'll keep a heavy.
04:46Carried.
04:47Tapscott off.
04:49But there's a good one.
04:49It's a bad thing, but it's a bad thing.
04:49Somebody first objecting to it.
05:00And...
05:02And there's Tapscott limping back on.
05:04I...
05:04I don't think that Minion Park has ever heard this chanting of, off, off, off.
05:09The I often wonder what it means for the Portinkies.
05:11So there's Derek Tapscott, he looks as if he's had a row with Cassius Clare at the moment.
05:19And 20 minutes left and Farrell to take the corner for Cardiff City.
05:25Now watch King and the goalkeeper because there's going to be fun.
05:30I should have mentioned the goalkeeper will go to the back of the net when this ball comes over.
05:36And Charles going up, and that's Charles flat out now.
05:41A collision of heads, Charles and Mendez, no foul, it was completely accidental.
05:48Those two big fellas went up.
05:51The big job's alright but Mendez isn't.
05:55This might not be the prettiest game of football Cardiff City have played this season,
05:59but it's certainly been the most effective game they had to play to keep what they won in Lisbon.
06:07Springboard from defence to attack whenever they could.
06:10They've managed to contain this all-star side which, remember, rattled in five goals.
06:16It's all over! Cardiff City have won! Cardiff City have won this tie.
06:22They're in the last eight and the crowd is fading the pitch.
06:26The result, Aaron Didion Park, no score, which means Cardiff City are through to the last eight
06:33of the European company's company.
06:35A 2-1 aggregate, a great, a fantastic victory for second division Cardiff City
06:41over a team which contains some of the best players in Europe.
06:45And the Cardiff fans are really celebrating their victory.
06:49And let's hope they'll celebrate it even more in Cardiff's next game by rolling up in their thousands
06:55and giving Cardiff City the bumper gate they deserve.
06:59So with no score here tonight, Cardiff City are through on a 2-1 aggregate
07:03and beat Real Saracota in the next round.
07:05Now with that, it's the night from a Jupiter-Xenium Park garden.
