SportsTranscript
00:00:00Argentina is probably the mere fact that the Italians have left Rome because there was a
00:00:05stupendous atmosphere every time they played there. I mean there's going to be a big atmosphere
00:00:09here too but it is a change of environment and of course I was watching the Argentinians warm up
00:00:15and of course they're only one match away from glory and they've had a very indifferent start
00:00:19like England but they look very relaxed and very fit and they seem to be enjoying the occasion.
00:00:24I wouldn't say that it was so certain that Italy were going to win today although they are favourites
00:00:29obviously. Thanks Bob, thanks Liam. 90 degrees there Fahrenheit it seems or something like that.
00:00:34Now your match commentator Barry Davis.
00:00:42Yes 90 degrees it's been and the sun still shines over the bay and the city of Naples on whom
00:00:50would
00:00:50it set tonight in this 14th World Cup. Contest between the last two winners between the hosts
00:00:57and the holders and it's a marvellous setting this San Paolo Stadium. The atmosphere is a little
00:01:04different. The Neapolitans are something of a race apart. Their humour is different. They are the
00:01:13bat of a few comments around the rest of Italy. The eyes of Maradona and you may have noticed
00:01:21a yawn from his goalkeeper behind. Goal-goal chair. So he is very relaxed it would seem. But the feelings
00:01:33of the crowd for the Italian team have been made clear since they moved to Castel del Mare down on
00:01:41the coast.
00:01:42And although Maradona is a king, maybe even a god in this neck of the woods, it's the Italian team
00:01:49that the home
00:01:50crowd here will be supporting.
00:01:55There's a lovely banner in fact which says Maradona Napoli ti ama me l'Italia e la nostra patria. Maradona
00:02:05Naples loves you but Italy is our country. I think that sums up the position.
00:02:10Maradona Napoli is a good man.
00:02:11Maradona Napoli is a good man.
00:02:14Maradona Napoli is a better man.
00:02:16So along the tunnel.
00:02:23Schilacci , with a little mark
00:02:25under the left eye.
00:02:29Battista back as one of the substitutes.
00:02:32Ancelotti is a substitute as well
00:02:34Many thought he might have
00:02:37Been in the starting line-up
00:02:42Maradona
00:02:44Nearside
00:02:44Bergami
00:02:46Farside
00:02:47The two skippers
00:02:48Marching behind the officials
00:03:01The difference of the hour
00:03:02Is certainly going to make
00:03:04A difference in terms of
00:03:06The demands
00:03:07In the warmth
00:03:14A jaunty stride from Maradona
00:03:19Linesman from Poland
00:03:22Michal Dyskiewicz
00:03:24The referee from France
00:03:25Michel Votreau
00:03:26And the other linesman from Denmark
00:03:28Pedro Mikkelsen
00:03:31The youngest referee
00:03:33Ever to come to World Cup Finals
00:03:40Stadium
00:03:41Is not in fact
00:03:43Completely full
00:03:44Which is a big surprise
00:03:47But not for the first time
00:03:50The lovers of the game
00:03:52Unable to get tickets
00:03:53When others
00:03:54Have been given them
00:03:55And have decided not to use them
00:04:17Up next year
00:04:17At last
00:04:17On 12
00:04:182
00:04:18On 12
00:04:192
00:04:191
00:04:453
00:04:462
00:04:462
00:05:00And the first contrast with another stadia that Argentina have been to, their anthem applauded.
00:05:07Now the anthem of Italy.
00:05:16The anthem of Italy.
00:05:52The anthem of Italy.
00:06:16The president of FIFA, among those to applaud, Henry Kissinger also at the back there in the glasses.
00:06:24Shots of the VIPs attending this first semi-final of Italia 90.
00:06:33And this is the Argentine team defending the trophy, of course.
00:06:39Ruggieri, one of five players who won it four years ago.
00:06:48Ruggieri, who scored the winning goal then.
00:06:51Maradona, who made the difference between his team and everybody else's.
00:06:56Justi was there as well.
00:06:57So was Olatiko Rachea.
00:07:00But Canigia wasn't, and he wasn't in the opening match, which surprised Maradona and a few others.
00:07:06But that was the choice then of Bilardo.
00:07:07But since then, Canigia has been ever-present after coming on as a substitute.
00:07:11And he's chosen, that's Bonni Perti.
00:07:18Famous Italian name, both as a player and an administrator with Juventus.
00:07:25I was just saying that Bilardo has decided not to play De Zotti, which was announced yesterday in the papers,
00:07:31but that seemed to be a ploy by him.
00:07:33The Italian line-up, I don't think the change is a surprise.
00:07:41And it will be interesting to see who is given the task of marking Maradona if one man is to
00:07:46have that job.
00:07:47It could be this gentleman.
00:07:49No, not Gianni, neither one before.
00:07:51And Luca Viali played the first two, then had a thigh injury.
00:07:58Scilacci, who has become the hero of the hour.
00:08:04And there's a thought in my head which I must get rid of, and that is that Italy in this
00:08:09championship have played Toto football.
00:08:12Scilacci, the player who's been scoring all their goals.
00:08:17Batista, Troleo, De Zotti, if things don't go well, he will be brought on.
00:08:23And if things don't go well for Italy, Baggio or Encelotti, or indeed Serena.
00:08:29They've all played, those three.
00:08:40Italy's 67th match in World Finals, Argentina's 47th.
00:08:49Headline of the major sporting paper this morning, referring to Maradona, said he would suffer from a blue fever.
00:08:59Blue, Azzurri, the colour of Italy.
00:09:24Blue, Azzurri, the colour of Italy.
00:09:25The kick wasn't long in coming.
00:09:28Janini goes to talk to Burrchaga.
00:09:38And a fairly useless early free kick by Sadezuela.
00:09:53It's his 40th cap, and ever since he was brought into the side, he's stayed in the side.
00:10:00The Napoli pressing, and Simon keeping his head and using his right foot.
00:10:20Riccardo Ferri, Paolo Maldini.
00:10:27And a free kick for the challenge on Vialli.
00:10:37Statistics show that the Italians have had a foul committed against them every three and a half minutes, just a
00:10:45little less to be precise.
00:10:50We've been playing here a minute and 40 seconds.
00:10:56Ferri.
00:11:01Scalacci well forward.
00:11:04De Napoli in possession.
00:11:08Faced across by Boswell, though, and a free kick.
00:11:11As Maldini tried to make their way through.
00:11:14And the referee talks with Ruggieri.
00:11:22Well, initially looking as though he went for the ball, but that was a disguise.
00:11:31More than one player has been very adept in this tournament, giving the suggestion that the ball is being played.
00:11:37And either that foot or the other foot brings down the man.
00:11:42Donadoni on the ball.
00:11:45Giannini let it run.
00:11:48And probably regrets that he did so.
00:11:50Played out by Calderon.
00:11:57Maradona.
00:11:58Maradona.
00:11:59It's marker for a split second with Scalacci.
00:12:01They shouldn't meet too often.
00:12:06Calderon, who started the move.
00:12:10In the end, it was Bergamie who ended it.
00:12:14Donadoni.
00:12:20Free kick has been given.
00:12:21No, it's not.
00:12:22But it has.
00:12:23But against Donadoni.
00:12:25And I think the referee was dead right.
00:12:28Donadoni looked for the foul, went down.
00:12:30And the referee indicated what Donadoni had done.
00:12:32And gave the free kick to Argentina.
00:12:36This time Italy will get the free kick.
00:12:41And we've had four minutes of free kicks.
00:12:49Three of them in Italy's favour.
00:12:51Two of them in Argentina's.
00:12:55Barresi.
00:12:56Offside against Scalacci.
00:13:06Teams have played 11 times.
00:13:08Italy have won on six occasions.
00:13:10Argentina only once.
00:13:12And Buenos Aires in June 56.
00:13:15Are the only goal of the match.
00:13:19Maradona being followed by Bergamie.
00:13:22Ferry was with Canigia.
00:13:28And Italy have a free kick.
00:13:30For what?
00:13:32Basuardo clearly doesn't know.
00:13:36And it seemed that even Giannini didn't realise it was for Italy.
00:13:46Scalacci.
00:13:48So strong from the waist down.
00:13:51He rolls off the challenges.
00:13:54Nice play by Basuardo.
00:14:00And for all the free kicks, the Argentines have started better than any previous match that I've seen.
00:14:05This is where Articorcea came off the heel of Canigia.
00:14:15Five minutes gone.
00:14:18No score.
00:14:20And now six free kicks.
00:14:25Biali.
00:14:31Biali.
00:14:32Biali.
00:14:34Biali.
00:14:35Biali.
00:14:35Scalacci trying to come away from Salasuela.
00:14:38He's his marker.
00:14:39Good play.
00:14:44Long, long run by Borezi.
00:14:58Malharan on the right side.
00:15:00When he came on as a substitute against Brazil,
00:15:02he played on the left
00:15:04and gave far greater cohesion to the team.
00:15:11Anija and Maldini, and it's Vianney the covering man.
00:15:14Oh, and not very well either, but he was pushed.
00:15:20Pre-kick has long since been given.
00:15:27Lots of whistles,
00:15:30but there was no doubt there was a push by Ruggeri.
00:15:34Yes, and it was also a little indecision
00:15:36between Zenger and his defender.
00:15:38Not something that we've seen in this tournament just yet.
00:15:42But the pitch, I feel, is a little faster than the one in Rome,
00:15:46but it doesn't seem to have altered the way that the Italians are playing.
00:15:50Still forceful, getting forward very, very quickly.
00:15:56To be fair to Vianney, I imagine that's probably about the third time this season
00:16:01he's been in his own penalty area.
00:16:04Scilacci.
00:16:06Curled for the back.
00:16:08Not confidently played by either attacker or defender.
00:16:13Donadoni was the attacker, Calderon was the defender.
00:16:23the defender.
00:16:27Koykocea, who distinguished himself in the penalty competition
00:16:30against Yugoslavia, saving the last two.
00:16:34That proved to be crucial.
00:16:36That proved to be crucial.
00:16:39Burruchaga.
00:16:57Burruchaga.
00:16:58Canigia.
00:17:01Canigia.
00:17:03Canigia.
00:17:07Canigia.
00:17:08again and again. Burruchaga, well struck, good start.
00:17:20That's well, they're deserving the greatest credit in that move.
00:17:24The final shot from Burruchaga, she certainly got hold of,
00:17:30and Zenga had to push away.
00:17:33Maradona with Kanija on the near edge.
00:17:37Headed up by Di Napoli.
00:17:42Ruggeri.
00:17:46But Fiali's been three times in his own penalty area.
00:17:49That was the fourth occasion, Bob.
00:17:53Yes, Burruchaga, good shot there.
00:17:55And Zenga, one of the few he's had to deal with.
00:17:59But a nice bit of touch play by all the midfield players
00:18:03building up to that move.
00:18:05The only way you can do that is if you're confident,
00:18:08and they seem quite confident, not overly just at the moment,
00:18:12but confident enough.
00:18:13I don't think they're as afraid of the Italians as people might have thought they would be.
00:18:20the next.
00:18:21Bergami with Kanija.
00:18:22Ferri, who came across as Maradona threatened.
00:18:29D'Agostini with Burruchaga.
00:18:34the Napoli with Boswaldo
00:18:37that's the marking at the moment
00:18:45Bergami
00:18:45just able to take half a step forward
00:18:50Barresi
00:18:50I don't know where Scilacci goes
00:18:54Cerazuela goes, here they are
00:19:02the Napoli, Donadoni
00:19:10Giannini
00:19:15Giusti
00:19:21again, the Argentine's playing the ball out nicely
00:19:24but a free kick given against the Napoli
00:19:30Michel Voltrour is the referee who was in charge of the opening game
00:19:34between Argentina and Cameroon
00:19:37two players from Cameroon were sent off then
00:19:42the Napoli's offence was a charge in the back
00:19:47in only one match against Romania
00:19:50have Argentina finished playing against a full side
00:19:57reading for that what you will
00:20:01Di Napoli
00:20:03Donadoni
00:20:04three waiting
00:20:07offside
00:20:08Di Laci
00:20:17it's obvious that Maradona is going to play forward
00:20:19it was thought that maybe we would just stick behind the two front players
00:20:22but Calderon number six is the one who's been
00:20:26forced back into midfield
00:20:27and is doing a lot of running
00:20:28he's obviously a very physical player
00:20:31that's the reason that they've got him in
00:20:32but he's been very mobile
00:20:33here he is with the ball now
00:20:38Boruchaga
00:20:40he's making the runs
00:20:43from Deepa
00:20:51well kept in
00:20:52this is Di Napoli
00:20:53two square
00:20:54two forward
00:20:55Giannini
00:20:56Di Napoli
00:21:00and it might fall for Viali
00:21:02good improvisation
00:21:05by Ngocu Cia
00:21:07the last to touch it was Viali
00:21:09the last to touch it was Viali
00:21:11and it might fall for Viali
00:21:34this is football for Stuttgart as well though
00:21:38then Napoli
00:21:41who plays his football for Napoli
00:21:46it's at his free kick again
00:21:55Maldini
00:21:58Skirachi set as where they got there first as he has every time so far
00:22:06Maradona this time it's Bergami chasing him
00:22:08and not Ferri
00:22:10Ferri is with Canigia in the middle
00:22:21it's a different Argentina
00:22:23and it's a different Maradona
00:22:35Muggieri wanting to take a long throw
00:22:39Maradona concedes the point or at least gives him the throw
00:22:41and of course he throws it short
00:22:44Calderon
00:22:49Bergami reacting the quicker
00:23:04still out
00:23:09finding himself a little isolated
00:23:25Maradona in the inside right position with Bergami
00:23:28here they are together
00:23:29Bergami trying to get there first
00:23:36Borrezi trying to play offside but some of his colleagues are not as adept as that
00:23:40as they are when they're playing for AC Milan
00:23:47moments in the game against the Republic of Ireland when Borrezi wanted to look for the offside
00:23:54but those around him aren't the same
00:24:01two main markers in front come from Inter not from the AC Milan club
00:24:11Bergami
00:24:11but a space for the skipper
00:24:13could have a crack
00:24:16thought about it
00:24:18not long enough
00:24:24as well though
00:24:25that's a freaking
00:24:27past the 15 minute mark
00:24:29no score
00:24:32and the teamwork of the Argentines at the moment is the more impressive
00:24:37yes they're certainly comfortable
00:24:40they've left Silachi up front with Vialli the two of them
00:24:44but they've not really had much of a service just yet
00:24:46but certainly comfortable when you think that the Argentinians were considered the outsiders
00:24:50of the four semi-finalists
00:24:51that must hurt your pride somewhat
00:24:53and especially when you have players like Baruchaga
00:24:57and Maradona in your side
00:24:59they were one of the favourites to begin with
00:25:01and I think they still think they are one of the favourites
00:25:03they're certainly playing a lot better than most people thought
00:25:06very very confident indeed
00:25:12that's an Italian ball
00:25:20Vialli's made a run out to the right
00:25:23and Simone has come with him
00:25:26and Vialli ran out of room
00:25:28took the corner flag with him
00:25:45and we pass the 17 minute mark
00:25:47which means that Italy have set a new record
00:25:53in World Cup football
00:25:54of not conceding a goal
00:25:56they've passed England's record
00:25:57but Zenger needs to play on
00:25:58until the 50th minute
00:26:00to pass the record hold by Peter Shilton
00:26:03because the team record goes back
00:26:05to the 86th World Cup
00:26:06the last goal
00:26:0757th minute against France
00:26:09but Galley was then the goalkeeper
00:26:15this is the 6th game they played in this World Cup
00:26:18they went out of course to France
00:26:20in the last one
00:26:31Salvation from Scilacci
00:26:33which we've become used
00:26:36this is Giannini
00:26:38still Giannini
00:26:39can save
00:26:41and then in again
00:26:42it's that man again
00:26:44Scilacci has done it once more
00:26:51Giannini involved
00:26:52Vialli involved
00:26:54and Scilacci
00:26:57gets goal number 5
00:26:59in the Championship
00:27:00and puts Italy
00:27:02in France
00:27:04as we come to the 18th minute
00:27:14he's a little terror isn't he Scilacci
00:27:17but a little bit of indecision here
00:27:19among the Argentinian defenders
00:27:21Giannini a ball in the air
00:27:22waits for it to come down
00:27:24a chancy header
00:27:25doesn't know where it's going to go
00:27:27Vialli has a goal
00:27:28parried by the goalkeeper
00:27:29and who's there
00:27:29the little terror Scilacci
00:27:31Italy in front again
00:27:39Scilacci appearing from nowhere
00:27:41and that picture
00:27:43would be very interesting to see
00:27:44at what point
00:27:44he moved forward
00:27:46good little return
00:27:48Giannini
00:27:51there is a moment then
00:27:52when he looked
00:27:53precious close to being outside
00:27:55but the linesman was absolutely level
00:27:57and the replays
00:27:58are quite inconclusive
00:28:00it's just a look at the linesman
00:28:02by the Argentines
00:28:05Scilacci scores at the
00:28:07almost the end of the 17th minute
00:28:10his fifth
00:28:12in this World Cup
00:28:13the man who came in expecting to be a reserve
00:28:17has become the star
00:28:46the star
00:28:48Belly of 82 and 86 and Piola back in 1938 the leader across Paolo Rossi from
00:28:5578 and 82 as well there is the injured player here
00:29:15Maradona has placed the ball with a free kick
00:29:21well up by Maldini but he didn't actually get it away and the goalkeeper in a little bit of trouble
00:29:26gets the benefit of the doubt
00:29:31nice attitude between Kanija and Bergami
00:29:48another question might be asked where was Seresuela when he scored
00:29:53Bergami covering well
00:29:57that's Dezzotti
00:30:00yesterday Carlos Pilato the Argentine manager announced a team and it included Dezzotti
00:30:06seemed though in the end to be a ploy to gain a reaction
00:30:10maybe he thought that Buccini would pick a team to match that one
00:30:14instead of the team that he wanted to play himself
00:30:28this is the reason for the free kick which has already been taken
00:30:33which is ended by Calderon
00:30:38good challenge by Seresuela needed to be
00:30:41unfortunate deflection this is De Napoli
00:30:46not
00:30:47not at the Napoli special
00:30:48but at the Napoli special
00:31:33just
00:31:34just
00:31:34just
00:31:37and it was deflected with the hand
00:31:41and Giannini has been booked for that
00:31:48so that means that there are now
00:31:52four Italians with a fear
00:31:56Ferri, Baggio and D'Agostini
00:31:58have been booked in previous matches
00:32:07Maradona has come back to take the free kick
00:32:09that'll be a good sign for the Italians perhaps
00:32:14thought there were players at the back quite capable
00:32:17but he wants to take it
00:32:18and it's not a particularly good one
00:32:21one by Senezuela
00:32:25there was one Italian appealing for offside
00:32:27when Alas had played the Argentines onside
00:32:30and the referee didn't like that
00:32:36challenged by Scalacci one little bit
00:32:41quite a stern warning
00:32:55for the record there are eight Argentine players
00:32:58in this starting line-up
00:32:59who had a previous yellow card
00:33:02this is Bergami
00:33:08Senezuela
00:33:09offside this time against Kanija
00:33:15one thing's really noticeable Barry
00:33:17when you're seeing a match like this
00:33:19and I'm very impressed really with the decision
00:33:21the quick decisions that the Italian midfield players make
00:33:24if there's one little break above the
00:33:26of their opposition
00:33:27they immediately think forward
00:33:29can I go forward
00:33:30can I run forward
00:33:31and that decision really has given them
00:33:34a lot of opportunities
00:33:35at the end of the field
00:33:36that they want to be
00:33:37it's been really noticeable
00:33:39that the defenders defend
00:33:41but once it breaks down in midfield
00:33:43they're immediately looking forward
00:33:44to get there as quickly as they can
00:33:46and it puts lots of pressure on the defenders
00:33:50Boruchaga
00:33:50and Baswaldo
00:33:52trying to do the same
00:33:53for the Italian defence
00:33:55Boruchaga held it well
00:33:57and Maradona I think deliberately
00:33:58ran over that
00:33:59hoping it was going to run to Kanija
00:34:01trying to sell the dummy
00:34:10that's a nothing ball
00:34:11but not the best of headers out
00:34:17Boruchaga
00:34:18looking to go forward
00:34:19Scilacci in possession
00:34:20Boruchaga moving out to the left
00:34:22nobody this way
00:34:24now D'Agostini comes forward
00:34:28goal has lifted
00:34:30Italian hearts
00:34:31and the Italian performance
00:34:34the Napoli
00:34:36Giannini
00:34:36Donadoni is to his left
00:34:38if he's wanted
00:34:39and he is
00:34:40what a beautiful ball
00:34:42Scilacci looks to me
00:34:43to be offside
00:34:44but the flag stays down
00:34:46and the shot in the end
00:34:48was from D'Agostini
00:34:49who at one stage
00:34:50in that move
00:34:50was playing
00:34:51as a virtual outside right
00:34:56great fluidity of play
00:34:59came off the outside
00:35:00of the boot
00:35:01and was curling away
00:35:02from the moment of impact
00:35:09Boruchaga
00:35:11it's nice
00:35:12by Maradona
00:35:14to Calderon
00:35:15and the corner is saved
00:35:21even so
00:35:23simple play
00:35:24by Calderon
00:35:25Maradona
00:35:26Boruchaga
00:35:28produce a threat
00:35:36back
00:35:37back
00:35:48outside
00:35:53too steep
00:35:57Calderon
00:36:01Maradona
00:36:03Maradona
00:36:04where they just left him
00:36:05he looked at the long ball
00:36:08and it was unsuccessful
00:36:22just a half smile
00:36:23from Azzelio Buccini
00:36:27really has
00:36:28used his play as well
00:36:33changes
00:36:34he thought they needed to be made
00:36:36without fear or favour
00:36:41substitutions have always been good
00:36:42and this man has been a real find
00:36:45find of Italy's eight goals
00:36:53yeah
00:36:54Scalacci down there
00:36:55I think he maybe makes
00:36:56he's making a little bit of a meal of it
00:36:58but what can you say about him
00:37:00he's been absolutely the find of this World Cup tournament
00:37:02he used his hand actually there
00:37:05so maybe got a little bit of his just desert
00:37:08but
00:37:09he's not just a goal scorer
00:37:11one tends to think of people like
00:37:13Dennis Law and Jimmy Greaves
00:37:14as out and out goal scorers
00:37:15they just happened to be in the right place
00:37:16always at the right time
00:37:18and took the ball away
00:37:19very very nicely
00:37:20he has done that
00:37:21but he's got a marvellous little touch in midfield too
00:37:23and because he's so aggressive and strong
00:37:25he takes a lot of knocking off the ball
00:37:27he has probably made the most mark of any player here in this World Cup
00:37:32him himself
00:37:33he must
00:37:33he mustn't believe it every night when he goes to sleep
00:37:36he must think to himself
00:37:37well
00:37:37a couple of weeks ago
00:37:38I didn't know what was going to happen to him
00:37:39was I even going to get a game
00:37:41not only has he had a game
00:37:43but he's
00:37:43he's made the World Cup for Italy
00:37:46absolutely sensational find
00:37:56Donadoni, Giannini
00:37:58and Scilacci now
00:37:59on the ball for the free kick
00:38:03and it's Ferry who strikes
00:38:16De Napoli on home ground
00:38:17comes to take the throw
00:38:19Giannini
00:38:20De Napoli
00:38:26offside
00:38:27and the player who was offside
00:38:29was Maldini
00:38:38Burrachaga
00:38:39has done most of the
00:38:40carrying
00:38:41for Argentina
00:38:42Canija
00:38:46two square
00:38:48this is Justi
00:38:49Madadona
00:38:50pass was really telegraphed
00:38:57Burrachaga
00:38:59he's having a good match
00:39:00is Burrachaga
00:39:02Katheron
00:39:09that's Wildo
00:39:12Giannini
00:39:14takes on his man
00:39:15takes on two more
00:39:17and he's brought down
00:39:18by one of them
00:39:20and the player
00:39:21who brought him down
00:39:22rolls on the floor
00:39:26Justi
00:39:31I don't think it'll
00:39:33prevent the booking
00:39:43tension needed
00:39:44for Donadoni
00:39:49and Justi
00:39:51will know now
00:39:52that he will not
00:39:54play in the final
00:39:55should Argentina
00:39:56make it
00:39:57or indeed
00:39:57in the third place match
00:40:13Giannini
00:40:14wanting Maradona
00:40:15back ten yards
00:40:24Barresi
00:40:29on by Viali
00:40:31but to nobody
00:40:38played 31 and a half minutes
00:40:40Italy lead
00:40:42by a goal
00:40:43to nothing
00:40:45scored
00:40:46in the 17th minute
00:40:48by Scalacci
00:40:53and
00:40:53Khadija
00:40:53held it up well
00:40:55Maradona
00:40:59Maradona
00:41:00the man he caused a certain amount of concern
00:41:02both in the crowd and in the area
00:41:04the man he passed it to
00:41:04is Burrachaga
00:41:10Maldini
00:41:11D'Agostini
00:41:20Scalacci finds some space
00:41:21and turns well
00:41:22and rides two challenges
00:41:24this is Viali
00:41:26Giannini
00:41:27Donadoni
00:41:29Di Napoli
00:41:30coming outside
00:41:31in support
00:41:34again Donadoni
00:41:35goes to take on people
00:41:37and gets a corner
00:41:51Gianni just left
00:41:52to the penalty spot
00:41:53nobody in the six yard area
00:41:56Di Napoli
00:41:57and the goalkeeper
00:41:58makes a comfortable claim
00:42:09Simon
00:42:13Justy
00:42:16Carol D'Aron
00:42:18worked well for him
00:42:19letting it run
00:42:19Maradona
00:42:22Carol D'Aron
00:42:23lost it briefly
00:42:24to Maldini
00:42:27and the second challenge
00:42:28by Maldini
00:42:29is not liked
00:42:29by the referee
00:42:39Ruggieri
00:42:39has gone forward
00:42:40on the near side
00:42:41as we look
00:42:41and Maradona
00:42:43aiming for him
00:42:44and he gets the head down
00:42:45Barresi clears
00:42:47over as well though
00:42:52Ruggieri
00:42:54Burrachaga
00:42:55Canigia makes the run
00:42:56Maradona plays it in
00:42:57but Canigia didn't
00:42:58continue the run
00:43:04as well for Zengar
00:43:05perhaps he didn't
00:43:25he's come a long way
00:43:30and a few whistles from the crowd
00:43:32because he's been allowed
00:43:33because he's been allowed to do so
00:43:36here's Bezualdo
00:43:40indecisive
00:43:45Calderon
00:43:52on by Scilacci to Biali
00:43:54Simon came across
00:43:56Scilacci's made the run
00:43:57if it's played right
00:43:59just a bit too far away
00:44:01from the waiting left foot
00:44:02which I'm sure was half-cocked
00:44:08Burrachaga
00:44:10Canigia searching for space
00:44:12found it
00:44:14but was given a ball too far
00:44:2235 minutes gone
00:44:24Italy 1
00:44:26Argentina 0
00:44:29Biali
00:44:29Hosts beating the holders
00:44:37Mangini
00:44:38looking a little defensive
00:44:39until he hasn't shaved
00:44:41Bergami
00:44:48Ricardo Ferri
00:44:57Giannini down that touchline
00:44:59Biali
00:44:59ahead now
00:45:01De Napoli
00:45:01here he is
00:45:03held it up well
00:45:04Giannini
00:45:05he wasn't particularly
00:45:13pleased to receive it
00:45:14there Agostini
00:45:18he thought that
00:45:19Giannini was going to
00:45:19do something himself
00:45:34both the main attacking
00:45:35players
00:45:36Rajatina on the
00:45:36right-hand side
00:45:46lost the ball
00:45:47in the moat
00:45:59new one has been produced
00:46:01on the near side
00:46:05Simon
00:46:09Giusti
00:46:10Canigia
00:46:13nice turn
00:46:16plenty forward
00:46:17for Argentina
00:46:18hello
00:46:20Tikarachea
00:46:20in the middle
00:46:21Calderon
00:46:22coming for it now
00:46:27cupball in
00:46:28by Bosualdo
00:46:29Burrachaga
00:46:29Maradana
00:46:31bounced away
00:46:33Maradana
00:46:35Burrachaga
00:46:40with Terence
00:46:45and still
00:46:46the Argentines
00:46:47have possession
00:46:49Maradana
00:46:49clearly looking
00:46:50for the free game
00:46:51within reasonable range
00:46:53and didn't get it
00:46:54instead
00:46:55Viali
00:46:56has the challenge
00:46:56for Italy
00:46:57only Scalacci
00:46:58up with him
00:46:59nobody's come forward
00:47:00from midfield
00:47:01to the door
00:47:04slowly they arrive
00:47:05Donadoni
00:47:08now there are five
00:47:09of them
00:47:12little indolence
00:47:13from the Italians
00:47:16Maradana
00:47:16the clipboard
00:47:17the Burrachaga
00:47:18that linkage
00:47:19is better
00:47:20than it's been
00:47:20in any previous
00:47:21match in this
00:47:21world cup
00:47:22and it was crucial
00:47:24in 86
00:47:25Maradana again
00:47:27Maradana
00:47:28and the crowd
00:47:32applaud enormously
00:47:33they'll enjoy a shot
00:47:36by Maradana
00:47:37if Senga
00:47:39keeps it out
00:47:43it wasn't great
00:47:44better
00:47:44and it was a simple
00:47:46catch
00:47:47but again
00:47:48they had possession
00:47:49and Maradana
00:47:51riding the challenges
00:47:52as of old
00:47:54good advantage
00:47:55played
00:47:56but sadly
00:47:57for Argentina
00:47:58Olotico
00:47:59is offside
00:48:00and Maradana
00:48:01now wants
00:48:01the free kick
00:48:03for Argentina
00:48:05you understand
00:48:05not the one
00:48:06for Italy
00:48:10there's a nice
00:48:11little spell
00:48:11from Argentina
00:48:13and a little glimpse
00:48:13from Maradana
00:48:14of what he's capable of
00:48:16just a
00:48:17tight area
00:48:18but he was able
00:48:18to get the ball
00:48:19up in a volley
00:48:20and unfortunately
00:48:20he didn't have
00:48:21the power
00:48:21or the strength
00:48:23to direct it
00:48:24any better
00:48:24than he did
00:48:25but nevertheless
00:48:27Argentina
00:48:27a brief little spell
00:48:28there when they
00:48:29had a bit of supremacy
00:48:31the main
00:48:32person responsible
00:48:33for that
00:48:33is
00:48:34number 7
00:48:35Burrachaga
00:48:36has had a particularly
00:48:37good game
00:48:37tight situations
00:48:38controlled it well
00:48:39not giving the ball away
00:48:41he's trying to find
00:48:42that little opening
00:48:43that they need
00:48:46Scilacci for Italy
00:49:05Donadoni chased across the field
00:49:07by Roswaldo
00:49:08so he makes the ball
00:49:09do the work
00:49:10this is
00:49:10Franco Barresi
00:49:14left by D'Agostini
00:49:17cleared by Giusti
00:49:26inside the last five minutes
00:49:28of the first half
00:49:29Italy
00:49:29a goal to the good
00:49:51and the free kick is given
00:49:54and the Argentines appealing for the offside flag which was indeed shown
00:49:59and the free kick is given
00:50:01and the free kick is given
00:50:01and the free kick is given
00:50:06Giusti
00:50:06the player caught
00:50:29again the whistles of concern
00:50:34Kanija strikes it well
00:50:36but again comfortable
00:50:39for a goalkeeper of inequality
00:50:42and a bit of easy for one of Zengas
00:50:54yeah this had a fairly quiet half
00:50:58while they were involved in the goal
00:51:00it was his shot that was knocked out to Scilacci
00:51:07Kanija
00:51:08still Kanija
00:51:09Madadona who gave in the ball
00:51:11and Bergami who obstructed him
00:51:14which is what Kanija was looking for I feel
00:51:17because there were two to take on
00:51:19and Bergami was just running alongside
00:51:22and it would be interesting to see
00:51:23who first ran into whom
00:51:28but he's looking to hold him off a bit
00:51:29to be fair
00:51:33the free kick
00:51:35is given
00:51:39the free kick was indirect
00:51:42for obstruction
00:51:48offers
00:51:50an opportunity to Argentina
00:51:54she's bringing demands from Zenga
00:51:58whistles from the crowd
00:52:00hope on the Argentine bench
00:52:06Maradona
00:52:06is on the wall
00:52:08is on the wall
00:52:09Serezuela just to the right
00:52:12the referee having a bit of
00:52:13difficulty getting everybody back
00:52:15the ten yards
00:52:16not just the players in the wall
00:52:17but the players
00:52:18outside the wall
00:52:19and it's Serezuela who will hit it
00:52:22a pretty poor strike it was too
00:52:24as well though
00:52:25but I doubt if the wall
00:52:26really was the required distance
00:52:30a bit of a mess that
00:52:34there were players
00:52:35on the far side from the wall
00:52:37and it seemed to me that they
00:52:41like Maldini here
00:52:42was that ten yards
00:52:43wasn't a particularly good shot
00:52:45struck the Argentine player anyway
00:52:50and the follow-up was harmless
00:52:56yeah it was actually rather unlucky there
00:52:58Barry I thought he hit his own player
00:52:59otherwise it might well have been
00:53:00goal bound
00:53:02but another instance of
00:53:05how unceremonious the Italian defenders are
00:53:07if the goal is threatened
00:53:08Bergami then
00:53:09when Caniccio was going through
00:53:11it was a threat
00:53:12the two defenders had been caught
00:53:14on the wrong foot
00:53:15and the immediate response was
00:53:17don't let him get past
00:53:18whatever happens
00:53:19free kick was the result
00:53:24something's never changed
00:53:25well
00:53:30Serezuela
00:53:35Manija
00:53:37Maradona
00:53:39early this time
00:53:40to the player at the back
00:53:41it's a good header by Vianney
00:53:44who'd followed the run forward
00:53:46by Serezuela
00:53:46good defending by Vianney
00:53:51the ball makes row three
00:53:53of the upper tier
00:53:55put there by Justy
00:53:58but I must say
00:53:59that was a really very good piece
00:54:00of defending by Vianney
00:54:01who got back to cover his man
00:54:04a lot is said about forwards
00:54:05defending in their own box
00:54:06but he did a great job then
00:54:14Argentina
00:54:15had the better of things
00:54:17before Italy scored
00:54:18then had a spell of supremacy
00:54:20but are ending the half
00:54:24leaving the crowd
00:54:25with some doubts
00:54:26to
00:54:28gnaw on
00:54:29during the
00:54:30half-time
00:54:31break
00:54:37Maradona
00:54:38just outside the 18-yard line
00:54:42Ruggieri got up
00:54:44Ganejo's offside
00:54:49players continue
00:54:50but the whistle has gone
00:54:57just moved behind the back line
00:55:05number 19 Ruggieri
00:55:06has started coming forward
00:55:07ever since the Italians
00:55:08scored the goal
00:55:09and that's really made
00:55:10a lot of the difference
00:55:11but it's been a super match
00:55:13up to now
00:55:13lots of incident
00:55:14lots of things still to come
00:55:15marvellous skill
00:55:17good passing
00:55:17good control
00:55:19very very exciting
00:55:25that's well though
00:55:31very good to Argentina
00:55:40and I don't know
00:55:41this time prepare to leave it
00:55:42to one of the back players
00:55:45said Azuelo
00:55:46approval plate
00:55:48Buracaga waiting
00:55:49with Giannini
00:55:51little bit of push and shove
00:55:52with them
00:55:54won well by Maldini
00:55:58and we reach half-time
00:56:01with the hosts
00:56:02leading by a goal to nothing
00:56:04the goal scorer
00:56:05against Gilacci
00:56:07his fifth
00:56:08in the championship
00:56:11but Italy
00:56:12not entirely convincing
00:56:14there will I think
00:56:16there will I think
00:56:16be a certain amount
00:56:17of concern
00:56:17among the crowd
00:56:19Argentina playing
00:56:20their best football
00:56:21to date
00:56:22in this semi-final
00:56:23half-time
00:56:24Italy 1
00:56:25Argentina 0
00:56:26match being watched
00:56:28by a crowd
00:56:28of 59,978
00:56:32all the matches here
00:56:33have been sold out
00:56:34although as I said earlier
00:56:35there are a few seats
00:56:37when you look around
00:56:38and the Sicilian eyes
00:56:39are still dancing
00:56:41Italy
00:56:41joined us late
00:56:43have the lead
00:56:44by one to nothing
00:56:44and he scored the goal
00:56:47Scilacci
00:56:47in the 17th minute
00:56:51at the other end
00:56:52of the team
00:56:53Ulta Zenga
00:56:55now needs
00:56:56just five
00:56:57more minutes
00:56:58to beat
00:56:59Shilton's record
00:57:00of 499 minutes
00:57:02without conceding
00:57:02a goal
00:57:11the Argentines
00:57:13have made a substitution
00:57:14at half-time
00:57:15they've brought on
00:57:17Troleo
00:57:19Pedro Antonio Troleo
00:57:22of Lazio
00:57:36and he's replaced
00:57:37as we look around
00:57:38the team
00:57:38Calderon
00:57:43the first
00:57:44free kick
00:57:45of the half
00:57:46is Argentina's way
00:57:48for the challenge
00:57:49on Viali
00:58:01D'Agostini
00:58:02Viali on the board
00:58:03Giannini just
00:58:04to the right
00:58:04this is he
00:58:06number 13
00:58:08going all the way
00:58:13not much to do
00:58:14got a good chair
00:58:18he had one thing
00:58:19to do
00:58:19he couldn't
00:58:19hang on to the ball
00:58:22Scilacci picked it up
00:58:24and thumped it home
00:58:26here's Canegia
00:58:30with Maradona
00:58:31pulling the strings
00:58:32and
00:58:33Guruchaga
00:58:35working the motor
00:58:37off at a threat
00:58:41Mr. Napoli
00:58:47D'Agostini
00:58:50Viali on the left
00:58:51side
00:58:51Scilacci is just
00:58:52ahead of him
00:58:52down this side
00:58:55D'Agostini
00:58:57play on
00:58:57says the referee
00:59:03Maradona
00:59:07Carust
00:59:08by Bergami
00:59:10helped out
00:59:11by Giusti
00:59:13Guruchaga
00:59:14is forward
00:59:14so is
00:59:15Basualdo
00:59:16gets in
00:59:16behind
00:59:17De Napoli
00:59:17it was a
00:59:22poor ball
00:59:22in by Basualdo
00:59:24some hesitancy
00:59:25the crowd
00:59:26were hoping
00:59:26for a free kick
00:59:28there was nobody
00:59:29in the area
00:59:30and I just
00:59:31wondered whether
00:59:31Basualdo
00:59:32thought that
00:59:32he'd fouled his man
00:59:33because he didn't
00:59:33play a good ball
00:59:34in at all
00:59:45the referee
00:59:46having a few words
00:59:47with somebody
00:59:49on the Argentine
00:59:50bench
00:59:51Bilado
00:59:52is screaming
00:59:53to the point
00:59:54where his vocal
00:59:54chords must be
00:59:55streaming

01:00:04Canigia
01:00:13Schilacci
01:00:15in the heart of
01:00:16Argentina
01:00:17and three men
01:00:18around him
01:00:21lovely ball
01:00:21laid out by
01:00:22Giannini
01:00:23Schilacci's
01:00:23offside
01:00:28the Napoli's cross
01:00:29cross and run
01:00:30the Napoli's cross and run
01:00:40Boruchaga
01:00:42had so many problems
01:00:44with knee injuries
01:00:47since the last world cup
01:00:48seems to have found his form
01:00:50here in the semi-final
01:00:53put away by Maldini
01:00:56not free Italian back
01:00:57not much support
01:00:58for Schilacci
01:01:01in fact now
01:01:04Boruchaga
01:01:05hounded by Maldini
01:01:08again
01:01:09Argentina
01:01:10having more of the possession
01:01:12there was a moment then
01:01:12when the ball was handled
01:01:13by Maradona
01:01:18referee very impassive
01:01:23handshake between Maradona
01:01:24and Bergami
01:01:28they handled the ball
01:01:29to useful effect
01:01:31for his side
01:01:32once in this championship
01:01:33against the Soviet Union
01:01:36got away with it
01:01:37in the penalty area
01:01:47this is handball
01:01:48in the Azteca stadium
01:01:51part of the folklore
01:01:52of world football
01:01:53a story which England
01:01:55will never enjoy
01:02:00could say that
01:02:00Bellado is an anxious man
01:02:02at this stage
01:02:05Donadoni
01:02:08Agostini
01:02:10Maldini
01:02:10too far post
01:02:14indecision
01:02:14as to who was going to
01:02:16get rid of the ball
01:02:17Brugieri
01:02:18headed for the corner
01:02:40and the goalkeeper
01:02:46claims well
01:02:47this time
01:02:48the goalkeeper
01:02:50at the other end
01:02:50Walter Zenger
01:02:51has now passed
01:02:53Peter Schiltern's
01:02:55record
01:02:55he's the goalkeeper
01:02:57who's getting the team
01:02:58sheet
01:02:58for longest
01:02:59in the world cup
01:03:00finals
01:03:00past the 500th minute
01:03:03handball by
01:03:03Canegia
01:03:04this time
01:03:10well the Italians
01:03:11are taking over
01:03:13the second half
01:03:15and one thing
01:03:16that they're very
01:03:16very careful
01:03:17they do close
01:03:18people down
01:03:18very very quickly
01:03:19and when they
01:03:20go forward
01:03:21they follow out
01:03:21as quickly as they
01:03:22can get to the
01:03:23halfway line
01:03:23and they really do
01:03:24deny space to
01:03:25their opposition
01:03:27the best in the
01:03:29world cup for this
01:03:30and of course
01:03:31very frustrating
01:03:32I wonder if the
01:03:34Argentinians
01:03:34if they start
01:03:35getting later
01:03:35and later
01:03:35may feel that
01:03:36they have to
01:03:37take the occasional
01:03:37chance and send
01:03:38the extra player
01:03:39forward
01:03:39but it may be costly
01:03:47Donadoni
01:03:50Scenacci inside
01:03:50Donadoni wants to
01:03:51take it a bit further
01:03:53D'Agostini makes a run
01:03:54for him
01:03:54this is promising
01:03:57referee quite right
01:04:00D'Agostini
01:04:02look for it
01:04:04Bourne again
01:04:14very un-fussy
01:04:15referee
01:04:16this Frenchman
01:04:17Michel Boutreau
01:04:20Riccardo Ferry
01:04:21shot barely got off
01:04:24the starting
01:04:26black ball
01:04:31Madoni
01:04:32square is
01:04:33Giannini
01:04:35D'Agostini
01:04:36had to win it
01:04:37well
01:04:37and Berezi
01:04:38were played
01:04:39all the way
01:04:39back
01:04:45the home crowd
01:04:47wanting a little
01:04:48more
01:04:49from the would-be
01:04:50champions
01:04:52Scilacci
01:04:53too strong
01:04:54the header
01:05:01couldn't have
01:05:02set this
01:05:02World Cup
01:05:03on a spin
01:05:03if Argentina
01:05:04were able to
01:05:05score here
01:05:05Hemel
01:05:11and I think
01:05:13that the referee
01:05:15wants words
01:05:26he's calling
01:05:27Giusti to him
01:05:31and I wonder
01:05:32whether
01:05:33in that long
01:05:34delay
01:05:35Mr. Votreau
01:05:37became aware
01:05:38that Giusti
01:05:40had already
01:05:40been booked
01:05:41in the first
01:05:41half
01:05:42and to have
01:05:42removed him
01:05:44for such
01:05:45a small
01:05:46incident
01:05:46would have
01:05:47been
01:05:47somewhat
01:05:48unfair
01:05:48I think
01:05:48fortunately
01:05:50that hasn't
01:05:50happened
01:05:55Kanija
01:05:58Buruchaga
01:05:59Maradona
01:05:59nice little
01:06:00touch
01:06:00back to
01:06:00Buruchaga
01:06:01good control
01:06:02but then
01:06:03Buruchaga
01:06:04and Maradona
01:06:04not reading
01:06:05each other's
01:06:05intentions
01:06:06offside
01:06:06against
01:06:06Scilacci
01:06:10but all
01:06:11the time
01:06:11Buruchaga
01:06:12and Maradona
01:06:14are in
01:06:15reasonably
01:06:15close
01:06:15contact
01:06:16there is
01:06:16always
01:06:17the
01:06:17possibility
01:06:17that
01:06:18somebody
01:06:18is
01:06:18going
01:06:18to
01:06:18be
01:06:18set
01:06:18free
01:06:21free
01:06:22kick
01:06:22against
01:06:22Maldini
01:06:24Puccini
01:06:24didn't agree
01:06:25with that
01:06:25verdict of
01:06:25the referee
01:06:29he's been
01:06:30the third
01:06:31most
01:06:31foul
01:06:32against
01:06:32player
01:06:33in the
01:06:33tournament
01:06:33Michel
01:06:34and
01:06:34Stoikovic
01:06:35of Yugoslavia
01:06:36ahead of him
01:06:37in that
01:06:37facet
01:06:40Baswaldo
01:07:08Maradona
01:07:08they've got lots of people
01:07:10forward
01:07:10Buruchaga
01:07:11that's a good save
01:07:13from
01:07:16Stoikovic
01:07:17but I'm not sure
01:07:18whether Argentina
01:07:19were really sure
01:07:21how they intended
01:07:22to end that move
01:07:24they had so many
01:07:25players forward
01:07:26and this is a very
01:07:27very risky game
01:07:28that Italy are playing
01:07:29they may have played it
01:07:30many times before
01:07:32but the threat
01:07:33is clearly there
01:07:34from the South American
01:07:34holders of the trophy
01:07:37equally
01:07:38Argentina could get
01:07:39caught on the break
01:07:40this is Fiali
01:07:42not too much support
01:07:43coming from midfield
01:07:49London
01:07:49only shot blocked
01:07:54Canidia
01:07:54free kick
01:08:0911 minutes of the
01:08:10second half
01:08:11have elapsed
01:08:12Argentina
01:08:12carrying on
01:08:13where they left off
01:08:13at the end of the first
01:08:14this is a good run again
01:08:16and was he blocked
01:08:17Buruchaga
01:08:19well the flag is up
01:08:20for offside
01:08:22I think Buruchaga
01:08:23felt that his run
01:08:24was blocked
01:08:24but again
01:08:25they were so close
01:08:26to each other
01:08:27and weaving patterns
01:08:28through the heart
01:08:29of the Italian defence
01:08:34when you watch Buruchaga
01:08:35and Maradona
01:08:37it's like
01:08:38watching a driver
01:08:39in Rome
01:08:40or even more
01:08:41in Naples
01:08:42because they don't
01:08:43just stay in lanes
01:08:44they weave patterns
01:08:44all over the road
01:08:45to find the opening
01:08:47it's quite interesting
01:08:48actually
01:08:50Fiali
01:08:51still Fiali
01:08:53still Fiali
01:08:55Giannini
01:09:04that was a great
01:09:06little spell
01:09:06and what Argentina
01:09:07are good at
01:09:08is when they get
01:09:09around the edge
01:09:09of the box
01:09:09these little one-twos
01:09:11it is very very clever
01:09:12good touch
01:09:12of course
01:09:13it's very easy
01:09:15to break down
01:09:15and when you've got
01:09:16two players
01:09:17like Buruchaga
01:09:18and Maradona
01:09:19who are used to
01:09:20playing quite often
01:09:21with one another
01:09:21they're familiar
01:09:23they would expect
01:09:24a little success
01:09:25from what they've had
01:09:30Donadoni
01:09:32Foul by Seresuela
01:09:37ball-like charge
01:09:51Dineppolo
01:09:52play continues
01:10:03he's a real worker
01:10:04he's a real worker
01:10:05don't he
01:10:07he's actually
01:10:08trying to set
01:10:08things up for himself
01:10:19forward come Argentina
01:10:20again
01:10:26four times they've met
01:10:28in the World Cup
01:10:31twice there have been
01:10:321-1 draws
01:10:33in the 74 tournament
01:10:34in Puebla in 86
01:10:35when Maradona was the
01:10:37scorer for Argentina
01:10:39Italy won in Buenos Aires
01:10:42Roberto Bettega scoring
01:10:43the only goal
01:10:45but Argentina
01:10:46went on to take the trophy
01:10:47and Italy won again
01:10:48in Barcelona in 82
01:10:49and Italy went on
01:10:50to take the trophy
01:10:51to take the trophy
01:11:08Berghami, a workhorse called Scalacci.
01:11:20De Napoli, Donadoni, Italian possession.
01:11:28Not for long, Uruchaga, seems to be always around in the right place
01:11:33to turn things Argentina's way.
01:11:39Baswaldo, Canija, Maradona.
01:11:43Baswaldo is forward and offside.
01:11:47A lot of running then, the big fella,
01:11:50and wasn't released early enough.
01:11:56Coming up to the end of the first quarter of an hour of the second half.
01:12:02An hour of this semi-final has elapsed.
01:12:05Italy lead by one to nothing.
01:12:18Great first-time staff.
01:12:22Ruggieri a little over keen.
01:12:34Scalacci forward.
01:12:38Parked by Serrazuela.
01:12:41Ruggieri looking for Vianney.
01:12:44They go the other way.
01:12:46And there's no threat.
01:12:48Here's Oroticocea.
01:12:58Justi.
01:13:01Buruchaga.
01:13:07Maradona.
01:13:08Buruchaga.
01:13:09Had to halt his stride a little.
01:13:12All the Italians back.
01:13:14All the Italians back.
01:13:14Pasquilacci.
01:13:15Buruchaga trying to find that opening.
01:13:17Borezi slams the door.
01:13:30Corneio.
01:13:31Corneio.
01:13:35Corneio.
01:13:36Corneio's on to the right.
01:13:37Maradona in the inside-down position.
01:13:39This is Corneio if he can get there, but I don't think he will.
01:13:41Corneio.
01:13:43Corneio.
01:13:44Corneio.
01:13:46Corneio.
01:13:47Corneio.
01:13:48Mr. Vicini a little bit perturbed.
01:13:51They're back on the heels at the moment, and the Argentinians trying to pry something
01:13:55out of this defence.
01:13:56It's very difficult, there's no space, there's no time, and it's going to take a piece
01:14:00of really excellent skill to break it down.
01:14:03It's going to be Maradona or Ruggieri, I think, but certainly the ordinary is not going
01:14:08be good enough it's gonna have to be something extraordinary i'm afraid but they have pressure
01:14:13they have control they seem to be enjoying the situation they may just get a little break who
01:14:20knows i think that's one of the fascinations uh barbie because argentina clearly have players who
01:14:29are capable of doing the extraordinary not least that little fella got a knock on the head invited
01:14:35to get up here's burrachaga and here's kaneja making certain and he tried to make certain for too long
01:14:43and missed a golden opportunity
01:14:49maradona saw nothing of that he's still on the ground holding his head with an italian player as well
01:14:56but what a chance burrachaga berezi had to come across kaneja went inside him then
01:15:03napoli tried to get there and between them they deflected the shot and zenga was furious
01:15:12bergami is the injured italian maradona the engine after time i don't really know whether zenga was
01:15:19furious with his defense or at the referee i think he had a an idea that it may have been
01:15:25offside but
01:15:26nevertheless that was the heel of berezi that deflected it to safety but there again this this
01:15:31will give heart to the argentinians they have been getting a little bit more possession seeing a few
01:15:35more chances up there but one wonders you've got to take chances like that if you're going to get
01:15:40them against the italian defenders they don't give many away
01:15:47zenga comes and loses and gets a free kick because in the end he was knocked off the ball
01:15:55but as was seen in the closing stages of the match against the republic of ireland
01:16:02this man of determination is not always sure when he comes to the cross ball he may
01:16:09well have seen that very late but the juggle and then the reaction afterwards he nearly had a go at
01:16:15ruggieri was not shall we say the action of a peter schilton no i think his pride was heard there
01:16:21everybody's been saying he's the greatest goalkeeper in the world well he didn't look
01:16:25he looked far from that at that particular time lost a little face there zenga
01:16:31the new record hanging like some heavy stone his skill achieve hit more ground than ball
01:16:43bianni is down hurt burrucciaga justy as well though
01:16:56bergami there before manadona donadoni
01:17:02beautifully played draws the sweeper does his job well simon
01:17:11justy
01:17:14baradona
01:17:16little jerk of movement and canada what a good ball
01:17:25two crazy across zenga had to come out and canada almost got there in time that's serena
01:17:34and vieca wood two of the italian substitutes
01:18:02a lot of himself it was a very very sharp turn
01:18:10and i really don't see what simon was supposed to do about that
01:18:19schilacci asked too much of himself
01:18:22i don't think it was a question that he was brought down but that simon had nowhere else to go
01:18:27and it would be very tough on argentina if they concede from this
01:18:34three men on the ball on the far side schilacci is square fiali is just around the penalty spot
01:18:45i doubt is 10 yards he's not in the wall he's the man in the foreground there number 16 hit
01:18:52by d'agostini
01:18:53referee has not been terribly good at getting the wall back and other players back 10 yards
01:19:04on that particular occasion in view of the reason for the offense
01:19:17donaldoni taken by justi
01:19:22that's well though maradona canada down the middle trolia on this side man following up is burr
01:19:31charga here's baswaldo
01:19:38maradona played to the white man three in the middle and can either on the near post
01:19:47it was on the cards
01:19:52one one
01:19:55a fine goal well worked a good cross on the near post zinger came for it didn't get there and
01:20:03can
01:20:04need you has squared this semi-final and i believe the italians have got what they've asked for
01:20:12there are too many good players in this argentine side to have played the way italy have in the
01:20:17second half but a ticker of chairs cross and the near post header across the goal and the holders still
01:20:25have one hand at least on their trophy
01:20:30yeah a great near post header zenger no man's land going out there and caught out
01:20:35but it is what you exactly what you've said barry what they've deserved there's been gaps at the back
01:20:39there and they've just up the pace a little bit argentina and they've got the break they'll now
01:20:44be difficult to beat we'll have to see what sort of metal the forwards have got of italy if they're
01:20:50going to pull this game around again now but certainly in the driving seat argentina
01:20:55in the 68th of the sixth match italy finally concede a goal no side has ever won it without conceding
01:21:06a
01:21:06goal and zenger at last beat the balance of play is in favor of south america
01:21:19italy have really got to show what they're made of
01:21:28and the substitution is going to be made viali is going to be the player to come off
01:21:36more memorable moments apart from the shot that led to the italian girl have been defensive ones
01:21:49and he's been
01:21:49and he's been
01:21:52so
01:21:52so
