00:24Hello once again, Martin Tyler here, along with Andy Gray as usual of course,
00:28and we're up on the gantry ready for the action to begin.
00:32As usual we have the best view in the house Mr. Tyler and we will enjoy it.
00:37I'm very impressed with the way the away team have come into this match Andy,
00:41for me they do look the stronger side, but I guess we've got to take the home team on its
00:46merits and playing in front of its own fans.
00:48Yeah, I'm with you on that, I've seen this away side play quite a few times this season, they are
00:52very good,
00:52they have got some wonderful players, they're rightly favourites before the game starts,
00:56but you and I know, not everything is one on two percent.
01:16Time now for the kick off, and both teams raring to go.
01:29And they've got it back through the interception.
01:32Now he's got the ball back again, and cooked me out as well.
01:41Stolen the ball back.
01:46First time passing, good play.
01:49This looks interesting, defense is holding out well, and that attack is stopped by a very good tackle.
01:58Pass and move, that's the philosophy, they're putting it into practice well.
02:03Trying to play it into the middle, ball still alive, hit it well!
02:07Good safety first play.
02:10But they lost the ball, and now they've immediately got it back again.
02:15Well played with a pass.
02:16Well played with a pass.
02:17Well won back.
02:18Good piece of defending.
02:20It's with Ed Nilsson.
02:25He's won it and he's kept it.
02:41Wonderful match, wonderful atmosphere.
02:43You don't often get it, so enjoy it.
02:47Ronaldinho!
02:47And that is the first goal.
02:49And it could be the one that actually shaped the destiny of the day.
02:54Oh, that was so close to hitting the bar.
02:58And the first goal is by FC Barcelona.
03:00And that goal.
03:02Number ten.
03:03Face to face, head to head.
03:08Chance to cross it here.
03:10Has to clear it.
03:15Good play in defeat.
03:18Made his intentions to play for the opposition.
03:22He went to get the ball and made sure his team keeps it.
03:24And he's got it back again quickly, quicker than I thought.
03:28Now Messi.
03:34Brilliant try.
03:35Oh, and just over the bar.
03:37That's a classic example.
03:39That is Jonathan.
03:40Sometimes you get up for too much power.
03:42If you've lost the set of house keys, please contact the nearest steward.
03:46Otherwise you won't be able to get in when you get over.
03:49There's a real quality to the passing now.
03:53When they pass the ball well, they really are in the wheel.
03:56No chance.
03:56He's in the clear!
03:57That's a good tackle.
03:59Now it's Ambrotten.
04:02Xavi.
04:03And they kept it going very accurately.
04:07He's gone back the other way.
04:08A good tackle to win the ball.
04:15Good little pass there.
04:17That is a terrific shot.
04:19And he's kept out the shot.
04:20It's still in play though.
04:21Oh, the keeper's just pulled off.
04:23A brilliant save.
04:23No wonder this team are one up.
04:25Xavi.
04:30And the defender's lost out.
04:31Well, they were on the move then.
04:33And the defender did his job very capable.
04:35He'll want to shoot.
04:36He hasn't dealt with it.
04:37Oh, the ball's still in play.
04:42That's a throw to start the move off again.
04:53And he's won the ball and he's kept it and he can go from defending into win play in the
04:58wide position.
04:59That's a super job at the back.
05:09Well, they've played it into the centre circle.
05:12They can work it from there.
05:13And the defender tidies that up at Nielsen.
05:17Ladies and gentlemen, the tackling blur has won it well.
05:20To your seats, thank you.
05:29Good continue.
05:30And here they are in space on the counter attack.
05:32Seen the target.
05:33Could have hit the target then, but it's wide.
05:47Oh, that's a good pass.
05:49So the half-time whistle goes and they have a 1-0 lead.
05:52Your thoughts so far, Andy?
05:53Well, it's been tight.
05:54It's been tense.
05:55They've maybe showed a little bit too much respect to each other.
05:59I would say that much.
06:00I think they both know that they're evenly matched.
06:03I don't think either team wants to make that mistake that's going to cost them the game.
06:07But in saying all that, it's still been pretty enjoyable.
06:10And that's the main thing.
06:12There's plenty in the game as we go into the second half.
06:14It's there to be won.
06:16And there are enough good players out there to step forward and win it.
06:20I like to pass the ball like this.
06:22Now that's the ball-winner for you.
06:24I don't know if players lose it.
06:26Then he goes in and wins.
06:27They'll end play here.
06:31And it's jamming.
06:38Very good passing play here.
06:41Can he clear his lines there?
06:42Better.
06:58It's with Ed Nielsen.
07:06And the defenders lost it.
07:08Here's a chance.
07:09Room to cross now.
07:11A drive for goal.
07:13Sweet connection from the striker.
07:15And strong goalkeeping.
07:32Here's the shot.
07:33Still danger after the save.
07:35Well, they're going to have to do better than that if they want to beat this goalkeeper today.
07:44That's a nice pass.
07:46Here's an opening.
07:47They start the first shot.
07:49Well, they're pushing hard for the equaliser.
07:50But what a save he's produced.
07:52Can they deal with this?
07:59It's teed up for the cross.
08:01First time cross on its right.
08:03What a pity.
08:03No defensive play here.
08:05It's in midfield now.
08:07Ed Nielsen.
08:14Oh, it's a weak contact with the ball.
08:17But he's missed it.
08:25Well, it's game on again from the goal kick.
08:44It's with Ed Nielsen.
08:52And they've got the ball through that interception.
08:57Here is Sam Brotter.
09:12Here is Sam Brotter.
09:14And the shot, and it's a good one.
09:15He really connected with that one.
09:17The keeper had the answer.
09:19Well, they're one down.
09:20But if it wasn't for the goalie, they might well be two or three.
09:23Well, it takes two to make a pass.
09:25The player and the receiver, and they work well then.
09:33And it is a late change.
09:36Managers sometimes do this to buy a bit of time.
09:39Therefore he's supposed to add on time for this late substitution.
09:42But they don't always do that.
09:43Oh, he saved it.
09:44Still in play.
09:45Out of their penalty area at long, long last.
09:49Both sides striving to change this situation,
09:52which we've been in for some time now.
09:55Ladies and gentlemen, for your own safety and security.
09:57Five minutes to go.
10:00And they hang on to their league.
10:01Ed Nielsen.
10:05Still danger.
10:06Well, they're only one down, but they could have been three or four.
10:09This goalkeeper is playing out of skin.
10:17This is woeful defending.
10:21The ref is indicating that the stoppage referee has called a halt here.
10:27And it has finished, in the end, 1-0.
10:30And this way she wants people to survive.
10:30But well...
10:33All awareness.
