00:03Korean's getting a lot of support from the crowd, all this is Kawhi.
00:09Wong's in.
00:13Oh, and it's a goal! Right in the first minute! What a shock!
00:18Paq's in, the goalscorer, and what a start to this match!
00:33Well, there we are, the real outsiders take the lead, the scorer Paq's in.
00:40Well, the one thing that's crystal clear already is that the North Koreans and their spell in the North East
00:44have learned a great deal.
00:46Obviously a much better side when they came, now Eusebio.
00:52Eusebio didn't get his full power behind that.
01:07Oh, and a good save there by Pareda from Cooke.
01:13Mois.
01:22Augusto.
01:27Oh, good shot and a good save!
01:29Very good save indeed. This goalkeeper is very, very quick, he's very good on the line.
01:34He looks competent.
01:38Raichan Mayung, 22 years of age, playing his 19th international.
01:44Simoj with a corner.
01:47Torres got that one.
01:49And you can see the difficulty of the goalkeeper there, he's just a bit stretched to get up to it.
01:53He's not very tall, he's about 5 feet 7.
02:01Eusebio.
02:05Simoj, he's got the space for the shot.
02:09Oh, what a great try there!
02:12Eusebio again.
02:14He's the man they've really got a mark out of this.
02:21So, Rune would have never stopped running from when he played the first ball.
02:26Zinn.
02:27Oh, the goalkeeper misjudged that completely.
02:30And stop it now!
02:49the goal scorer wound and the Portuguese are really in the most desperate trouble
02:58that's Eusebio with the kick Torres has taken a position for a run into a high ball
03:08that wasn't all that far wide all the defense were going for the cross
03:17we want three yelling the crowd this Portuguese defense terribly unsettled
03:23now Cook, he must score, he must score
03:38well this is ridiculous, the Portuguese are torn apart
03:553-0
03:57my word, they've moved it to attack, they've certainly been positive there
04:04Eusebio going through and there's Eusebio given too much time
04:13Eusebio racing back with that ball much too quick for the defense
04:20so that makes it 3-1 and no one could complain about a shortage of action in this one and
04:26certainly no one could complain either about defensive football
04:33again this should be directed towards Toros
04:40that was a real chance for Eusebio
04:46in every sense
04:48Toros to Graza
04:54Simois want for Toros to go for but the goalkeeper well out there's a chance here
04:59and Eusebio hasn't been missing those
05:02now that's the kind of chance that Eusebio has been putting in the net
05:05but not today
05:14the referee acknowledging the signal impact by the line
05:18Toros
05:19and Toros must score
05:20and he's brought down, there must be a penalty
05:24no doubt at all about that
05:28the referee in fact was signaling to a linesman
05:30I think one or two of the players wondered what was going on at that moment
05:34didn't really interfere with play
05:39so this is a penalty now
05:41that ought to make it 3-2
05:52it looks it would be Eusebio with it for Augusto
05:55Eusebio
05:58so Eusebio's second goal of the match
06:00North Korea 3, Portugal 2
06:09and Toros is still off the pitch
06:18Cimoish
06:24Eusebio
06:25did well to get up to that
06:27Toros and a good save
06:28a really good save
06:33goals as they did to the outsiders
06:35could easily have lost their tempers
06:37but they've been very sporting and kept their tempers very well
06:42Cimoish
06:45Eusebio, number 3
07:00well that's the man we thought could win this match for Portugal
07:04he's put them right back in
07:07from 3-0 down
07:08Eusebio scored all 3 to put them level
07:12well he's really done it more or less on his own
07:15and he's pulled them completely off the floor
07:17after being 3 down
07:18for it, they'll certainly move
07:21Eusebio
07:25it's Cion going with him
07:30and Eusebio brought down a penalty
07:35sheer persistence put Eusebio in that position
07:40Eusebio isn't just a great ball player
07:43great mover
07:44he's also very very strong
07:48he used his strength to get in that position
07:50and after that knock
07:51I wonder whether
07:52he'll be allowed to take the penalty
07:56now he took the last one
07:58which produced the second goal
08:01he is their penalty taker
08:03Jose Augusto is up there
08:06looking
08:08questioningly
08:08at Eusebio
08:10but it looks as if Eusebio will take it
08:11and don't forget by the way
08:13there's a thousand pound prize
08:14for the top scorer
08:15in the competition
08:16Eusebio with 6 goals
08:19already
08:20must be well in line for that
08:25so this penalty
08:26could put Portugal in the lead
08:31four goals to three
08:32all four to Eusebio
08:39although he scored the penalty
08:41Eusebio really made it
08:42with a fantastic run
08:44he survived two tackles early on
08:46forced his way into the box
08:48and I think his idea really
08:50all the time was to try
08:51and get a penalty
08:52and the North Koreans
08:53sent him happy on his way
08:54they made a lunge
08:55couldn't get the ball
08:56and overwent Eusebio
09:06a chance here now
09:07for Portugal
09:08Torres
09:18Mario Colino
09:20now 30 years of age
09:22Seymour
09:24Torres
09:25Seymour
09:30Eusebio
09:30got a very good save
09:32what a good header there
09:33by Eusebio
09:35he really climbed up
09:36to that one
09:37thoroughly enjoying himself
09:38the crowd thoroughly
09:39enjoyed this match
09:40and in fact
09:40I think all the players
09:41are as well
09:45Bayern has had a very good
09:46game and goal
09:53that's one obviously for Torres
09:56there it is
09:59Jose Augusto the scorer
10:02number five
10:08and Torres' height really paid off then
10:14so it looks now as if Portugal are through to the semi-finals
10:18after being 3-0 down
10:20and a very strong position indeed
10:22with just over 10 minutes left
10:23Korea really opened them all over the place
10:26and I think the only thing that really saved them
10:29was that they kept attacking Korea
10:30and gave Portugal a chance of getting back in the game
10:42and there's the final whistle
10:47almost catching
10:49the crowd by surprise
10:51are absorbed in this game
10:52they thoroughly enjoyed it
10:53wonderful afternoon's entertainment
10:58with the Koreans getting away to that sprint start
11:02three goals in the first 20-odd minutes
11:05to lead 3-0
11:08and then Portugal getting right back
11:10with four goals by Eusebio
