INDONESIA [1] 7 VS 6 [1] THAILAND (SEMI FINAL PIALA AFF U-23 2025, GAMEPLAY PES 2021)
The lineup we have suggests it’s going to be a 451 formation, Jim. Well, it’s a formation, Peter, that lends itself to good possession and control in midfield because you’ve got the numbers there, a higher concentration. Backing that up with enough attacking dynamism is down to managers who want to get at teams. It can be used in cautious terms too, but certainly if you want to advance a little quicker and you have that attitude, then you can be very positive about this too. And we’re underway. Try as they might, they just couldn’t get into an attacking area. Well, that’s where he wants it. Cuts it out. Hits one. pings it out wide. Can he deliver? Whipped in. Oh, well defended. That had to be done. Plays it out to the wing. over to the left. He’s making good use of his strength there. just refuses to be out muscled. Chance to shoot. Real chance. Well, that wasn’t too dissimilar to the previous attempt. This is proving to be a very good spell. The intensity is great, but they’ve got to make it count. They’ve played it short. There are a few waiting for it. Pumps it into the area. That’s too far for anyone. Hoist it forward. into the channel. Keeps everyone guessing. A chance to play it in. Tries to get it forward quickly and he’s there to clear it. Well, there’s a lot of movement out wide now. Yeah, you can certainly see that. Well, I think it’s a move to open the game up more, whether out wide or or just getting a runner through the middle now. It’s a long pass, but not the most accurate. Anything, Jim, to pick out of these early exchanges? Well, both sides seem happy with the patient approach for now. Still trying to have a good look at one another. Played in with accuracy. Good ball. It’s shoots. Goal. Really outwitted one-on-one. Once more. He gets the better of the keeper. Well, he always had the measure of the keeper there. Such confidence and composure. Heat. Heat. Deadlock broken. It’s one0. Still a fragile lead though. They can’t afford to sit on this. Cleared away. shapes to shoot. That’s a half decent try. A more than decent attempt, Peter. and it’s played forward. Aimed in towards the center. Hardly anything between the sides and it’s one0. Looks to dink one in. Oh, he’d have done well to reach that. Forward it goes. That is terrific skill. looks to clip it forward. Defending of the desperate variety. Oh, nice touch. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. So, who’s he picking out? Here comes the corner. Good save. He got a decent fist on that. That’s spread out wide. Gets into some space. Lovely feet. Plenty waiting in the middle. Looking for a decent ball in plays it out to the flank. Looks to set one up and he’s there to cut it out. And that’s the end of that. It all started well enough. Tries to get it forward quickly. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Hoist it forward. And it’s played forward and he’s there to clear it. And that’s put paid to a promising move. Out to the left it goes. Can’t get the better of his opposite number. Forward it goes. Over to the left. Gorgeous control there. Floats one over. Oh, that’s neat. Breaks on here. Welled. Up. He gets away from immediate danger. Hoist it forward. He’s ruffled a few feathers, but well dealt with. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. goes for the cross. That right side seems to have become a very good outlet for them now. No doubt this is an area they’ve identified as a potential weakness in their opposition and they’re willing to exploit it. Well, the defense have two choices. Deal with the man or or deal with the space. Time to deliver out towards the flank. Oh, that’s nice. Looking for a decent ball in. Gets it back. And it’s played forward. Just brushed off the ball there. Gets it. And now what? Oh, he’s got a crucial block in there. Well, it seems obvious that the plan is to to try and get their passing game going again, but not with that lack of quality. Tries to get it forward quickly. Dashing forward at pace. out to the right. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. And it’s played forward. Is that a foul? Yes, the referee’s given it. tries to get it forward. forward quickly. Well, the crowd clearly like what they just saw. Some real nononsense defending. Hoist it forward. That is as far as they’re going to go. Forward it goes. Tries to get it forward quickly. Clears it out of harm’s way. That had to be more accurate. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. gets the better of his man. Hit into the middle and that’s been won straight back. Tries to locate someone up front. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. goes long, goes direct to the front line. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. Could be a chance here. It’s being played forward. hoist it forward. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. He’s got options out wide. That intervention was very necessary. Has he found his man? And it’s played forward. And the halime whistle goes. So there you have it. A close sport half of football, but one that still had its moments, but ultimately produced just one goal. A more than decent game up to now. Well, this team has found a real rhythm to their game. The players seem to have clicked well. There’s good movement off the ball. The passes are sticking. No one’s afraid to have a go. Leading one n at the break. And we’re already back underway here. Well, one n may be good enough. So, they may er on the side of caution and get more players behind the ball instead of running beyond it. They could even try to to spoil it from here. We’ll see. Hoist it forward. Crunching tackle. Strong challenge but well within the laws. And once more they can’t get through. And the weighted pass. Oh, that’s a fine challenge. Final checks on the touch line. A change about to occur. Oh, sweet feet. It’s come through. Turns and goes chance. He has done it. A two goal person. And it’s looking safe. It’s a keeper’s nightmare, Peter. He just couldn’t pick up on it until it was way too late having so many bodies in front of him. 41. Things starting to look very comfortable. That second goal is such a a polarizing effect on perspective moods. I mean one team are under more pressure now to get the next goal and the other will fancy their chances of turning two into three. Forward it goes and that has been cleared. Striding forward facing goal gets good distance on it. He’s gone down but the referee just tells him to get back up again. looks to bypass the midfield. Repelled by the keeper. Oh, real danger here. And that’s been leave it clear. And it’s hoisted clear. A chance to play it in. Goalkeeper’s ball. Oh, that’s clearly not what he wanted to do. Tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, good interception. Tries to get it forward quickly. It’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing with a delicate ball. play for a throw. It’s always a good time to register and and lay down an early marker in the second half. They clearly had exactly that in mind and have gone about their business with absolutely the right commitment. Forward it goes. Here it comes. And that has been clubbed away. Tries to goes for goal. Yes. And the lead is three. It is surely done. That’s wonderfully done. Crisp pitch. True finish. Well, most of those go high and wide because of their difficulty. He made it look like he does it every day. Three without reply. This is becoming a stroll. No doubt as to who has the momentum here now. The only doubt is how many is coming. Hoist it forward. He’ll just put a stop to that. And it’s played forward. Battles to win it back. This defense just doesn’t trust itself to to play a higher line. Frightened of people getting in behind. Yeah, absolutely. It just opens up the opportunity of not only strikers getting behind, but the runners from midfield, too. Ball’s loose. Who’s getting there? Forward it goes. Good challenge. He just stood firm. It’s broken loose. Good run ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending. Crowd appreciates good football all around there. swung over and through to the goalkeeper. Tries to get it forward quickly. And they’re not going to make any further progress now. Hoist it forward. Chose to squeeze it through. No, not quite. Knocks it away. Could move up a gear here. Just brushed off the ball there. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. That’s been drilled forward. Well played. He saw that coming. And it’s played forward. plays it out to the wing and helps available out wide. There are a few waiting for it. Out to the left it goes. Hoist it forward. Chance to break. Deathly done. done very well to intervene. Battles to win it back. It’s a promising run he’s making on the right. Crossed in. Well, that’s where he wants it. Well, the moans and groans from the stands now are very audible forward. It goes. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal and he didn’t go for the back heel. Loses his balance and loses the ball. Almost 75 minutes on the clock now. Good defending, albe it from an unexpected source. Well, they say that your front lads should be that first line of um of stopping the opposition and I think he’s taken it to another level with his desire to get back and and help everyone out. tries to get it forward quickly. Drives it towards the front. And it’s played forward over to the left. Lovely bit of skill. Can he deliver? There is some activity down on the touch line. It seems there’s going to be a change. Well, he’s worked so hard for a side uh as you would expect, but he couldn’t help notice that he was starting to to labor a bit. So, it’s no surprise. Forward it goes. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal and he didn’t go for the back heel. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. Quick ball forward. Well positioned to make that interception. The ball needed to be better there. It’s a wasted chance. up towards the front line. Well played. He saw that coming. Ahead by three, but they won’t want to take their foot off the pedal. Did really well to intervene and dispel the growing danger. plays it through. Not an adventurous run from a defender. pass. Oh, good interception. Referee’s given a throw. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Has a quick glance. Five minutes left on the clock. Yeah, that does look a foul. Referee’s given a free kick. There could be trouble here. But for now, the referee is keeping his cards in his pocket. Well, it was deliberate. It was cynical. And you have to understand the frustration of of been denied a clear opportunity, but it had to be done. He’s having a go. It’s hit the crossbar. Tries to get it clear. goes for goal. It’s off target and by quite a way. looking to hit the front line. Has he found his man? Gets it back. Hoist it forward and it’s played forward. Forward it goes. Good idea. Just poorly executed. Tries to get it forward quickly. Now the counter. Well, they’ve seen lots of the ball. Time to go for it a bit. A bit of creativity and adventure. Plays it out to the wing. He’s come through and he’s had a quick look inside. Up to meet it. He scores. No space, no problem. You just cannot stop him. Oh, this fell’s as slippery as a kneel. on the way and that will be the final act. So they bask in their win. Genuinely professional performance. So it’s away we go then. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. Oh, he’s caught him there. It’s a free kick. and that’s been levered clear. He’s gone for a throw in. It’s a poor throw there. No question that’s a foul. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. And it’s played forward. Cuts it out. drives it towards the front. A long ball, but not especially accurate. up towards the front line. Done very well to intervene. Looking to hit the front line. Well, they could break here. Going through. Oh, shooting chance. He’s delivered. All right. The breakthrough strike. He was so alert to the possibilities there. Great stuff. Oh, Peter, you can’t teach that. You either have it or you don’t. His anticipation is on another level to everyone else’s. Superb. Deadlock broken. It’s one0. And that ought to be the trigger for a really exciting and entertaining game from here on. Forward it goes. Strong punch. And that’s the end of that. It all started well enough. Hoist it forward. Gets it back. Oh, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there. Ah, that just required a bit more oomph to reach its target. Great run on the overlap here. There’s the delivery and it’s hoisted clear. Lovely bit of skill there. There are a few waiting for it. Forward tracking back like that. always appreciated by the crowd. Well, they say that your front lads should be that first line of um of stopping the opposition. And I think he’s taken it to another level with his desire to get back and and help everyone out. Goes for goal. Lacking in accuracy. That was good defensive pressure to give him less maneuvering room. Plays it out to the wing. Thailand have made it clear what they’re trying to do for me. Peter, what are they trying to do? Well, I think they’re making the pitch as big as possible to work both flanks into into better supply routes. loses his balance and loses the ball. Defender’s on the back foot. Out to the left it goes. Can he deliver. A really good feet. Goes for the cross and the shot. Lingered over it and the chance to counter have gone. Peter, the best counterattacks are are pacy and incisive. We know that. And that one never really got going. Tries to get it forward quickly. played in with accuracy. Good take and he’s had a look and the finish. And yes, it’s there. Well, you’ve got to say the odds on him missing from there were very slim. Yeah, I really can’t say enough as to how good the final ball was. It took the defense out of the equation for that split moment and the damage was all done. That has certainly made things interesting. Yeah, it’s always a dangerous time when you’ve just scored. You can easily lose focus and then bang, you’ll peg back again. Forward it goes. So, midway through the first half and it is a tight old tie. Oh, well defended. That had to be done. tries to get it forward quickly. Lovely bit of skill. Looks to set one up. Knocks it away. gets it back. Tries to locate someone up front over to the left. Oh, sweet feet. Plenty waiting in the middle. Whistle’s gone. That’s a foul. Well, it was deliberate. It was cynical. And you have to understand the frustration of of been denied a clear opportunity, but it had to be done. Referee has resisted the temptation to go to his pocket. It’s just a stern lecture. He’s having a go. And he just whacks it away. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Great leap. Oh, he couldn’t get the direction he needed. I have to commend the wing play, but I have to condemn the defending. They’ve got to stop the cross. Hoist it forward. played into the middle. That was always going to be the keepers. And it’s played forward. That’s been intercepted. And that will come to nothing. gorgeous control there. It’s found its way to him. Up for the header and that has been clubed away. He’s had a look. It’s a decent looking cross and it’s kept out by a stubborn defense. And it’s played forward. tries to get it forward quickly. That’s put paid to a promising move. Hoist it forward. looks to bypass the midfield. That’s the throw. Plays it out to the wing. Time to deliver. throws it out to the flank. Played out to the right. Knocks it away. Forward it goes. Has gone out. Goes direct to the front line. It’s being played forward. Questions were asked and he’s given the answers. Gets into a dangerous position. hoist it forward, tries to get it clear. Promising move that. Good inroads into enemy territory, but no joy. That’s one way of trying to make things happen. There’s a few who could follow that example. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Quick ball forward. Look at the defender bombing forward. Quick run. He’s had a shot. He’s scored and the game is well and truly turned on its head. Oh, what a cracking goal, but a cracking touch as well. That’s what made it for me. That’s brilliant play all around. So, we have a breakthrough. Now, how will things develop from here? Yeah, they deserve great credit for turning things around, but they’ll now need the defensive resilience to equal that attacking flare. tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Battles to win it back. And the through ball is intercepted. And it’s played forward. Oh, good interception. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. forward pass. Well played. He saw that coming. That a foul? Yes. The referee’s given it. He knew what was coming. That’s a yellow card. Great reaction. Oh, he’s pulled off a fine save. Absolutely terrific. Terrific reflexes. Goalkeeping at its very best. and knocks one in. Forward it goes. He goes long. What an adventurous run from a defender. So, who’s he picking out? Beautifully done. And that has been cleared. Looking for a decent ball in. And that’s been levered clear. tries to get it forward quickly. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Just brushed off the ball there. It’s the whistle for Halime. Oh, what a comeback. Certainly, I didn’t see that coming. Oh, I think did many in this crowd. So there was the first half. Well, give me a moment to get my breath back. Uh what a super half of football. Incident pack, goals, comebacks, and the match being turned on its head. Which way it’s going to go from here, it’s anyone’s guess. Very little in it. The score at Halime is two goals to one. The action has already resumed here. whipped in and through to the goalkeeper. And it’s played forward. Balls out on the left now. Well, the crowd clearly like what they just saw. Some real nononsense defending. Well positioned to make that interception. He’s there to receive it. He’s in surely. Gets up to hit it. Harmlessly behind. hoist it forward. And they’re not going to make any further progress now. out to the right. Fired deep towards the back post. That is terrific skill. That looks a good ball. Cross deflected over the goal line for a corner. There is some activity down on the touch line. It seems there’s going to be a change. And a header. He has done it. And this is getting better and better. Great corner. And he did the rest. Yeah, I just thought he wanted that more than anyone else on the pitch and it was fully deserved. He gave it everything he had. He’s made it two and no doubt he’s hungry for more. So the lead now is two. Listen, it’s up to them now how they think about it from here because for me it’s crying out for them to force the issue. finds himself eased off the ball forward. It goes big chance corner and it’s hoisted clear. Shoots. plays it out to the flank. Aimed in towards the center. tries to get it forward quickly. And that is as far as they’re going to go. That’s the sort of defending that is going to upset the opposition. It already has actually. Yeah. And getting on the score sheet has clearly made him has a hit. That’s a half decent try. Good effort. Very good effort. He would have at least wanted to make the keeper work though. Good idea, just poorly executed. It’s always a good time to register and and lay down an early marker in the second half. They clearly had exactly that in mind and have gone about their business with absolutely the right commitment. Chipped through. And that’s a throw in. And it’s played forward. Tries to get it forward quickly. can’t get the better of his opposite number with a delicate ball that’s been drilled forward. tries to switch the play. Oh, that’s neat. A chance to play it in. He’s come loose. Well, the defense got the better of him this time, but I’m sure he’ll go again. hoist it forward. The ball needed to be better there. That’s a wasted chance. Drives it towards the front. A reprieve, albeit perhaps momentary. Forward it goes. It’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. Well, that’s where he wants it. That’s ruffled a few feathers, but well dealt with. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. Tries a shot. Oh, that was no routine save. Well, that was high class goalkeeping there to back up his his high class wage. Ah, now some movement on the bench and we are going to see a change. And the defense can get it clear. Tries to stroke it through. Well, the less said about that pass, the better. Well positioned to make that interception. up towards the front line. Gets it back. Try as they might, they just couldn’t get into an attacking area. And that’s been won straight back. Almost 75 minutes on the clock now. Dashing forward at pace. gets it into the middle away from immediate danger. He’s gone for it surely this time. Yes. And the lead is extended still further. He was really quick to react to the initial save and he has his reward. Our players like this fell almost have a sixth sense to get themselves in such great coaching positions. How quick-minded was that? It’s starting to look like a done deal now. Has he found his man? Hoist it forward. And it’s played forward. Tries to get it forward quickly. Battles to win it back. Brought forward. What does he throw from here forward? It goes. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal and he didn’t go for the back heel. Played out to the right. It’s a good run down the right. Where could this lead? And he’s cut it out. Forward it goes. More than happy to take the muscular approach. Yeah, that’s top defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities out to the right. That’s a promising ball. Not one of his best. And it’s played forward. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal and he didn’t go for the back heel. Tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, that’s clearly not what he wanted to do. Tried to play it through. Look, he’s offering an apology to his teammate who’s clearly miffed at not being picked out despite making what looked like the right run. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. He can get that clear. He’s got options out wide. He’s in space and looking for options. Room for a shot. Oh, he’s got a crucial block in there. Good run ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending. Crowd appreciates good football all around there. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Hoist it forward. tries to locate someone up front. He’s through. Good challenge. Excellent challenge. A real chance to break. Gets into a dangerous position. knocks it away and they’ve got it back as soon as they gave it away. Confirmation that there will be 2 minutes stoppage time. In with the challenge. Whistle’s gone and they’ve got themselves a free kick. just brushed off the ball there and helps available out wide. He’s got the ball glued to his feet and the shot saved. That’s good keeping and that will be the final act. What a match. What a comeback. That is how to respond to it. So, it’s down to business here. A real chance if he can get through. played out to the right. Lovely feet. Looking for a decent ball in. And it’s played out wide. Turns and goes back. has a pop their attempt just the wrong outcome. That’s a little unfortunate. He had a lot of people worried then. looks to clip it forward. puts in a massive leap. That’s a half decent try. Good effort. Very good effort. He would have at least wanted to make the keeper work though. Hoist it forward. played in with accuracy. Cuts it out into the channel. He’s got options out wide. It’s a loose ball. out to the right. It’s a goal kick. tries to locate someone up front. Oh, really good feet from him. Plenty waiting in the middle. away from immediate danger. Looks to dink one in and helps available out wide. Thailand have made it clear what they’re trying to do for me, Peter. What are they trying to do? Well, I think they’re making the pitch as big as possible to work both flanks into into better supply routes. He’s made sure that that won’t get through and it’s played forward. He’s managed to get it away. Promising move that. Good inroads into enemy territory, but no joy. tries to get it forward quickly. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. Looking to hit the front line. Done very well to intervene. I wonder what you’ve seen, Jim, over the early moments of the game. Well, neither side has really grabbed the initiative. I would say both must have come in with a view of of not making any early mistakes. So, we’re seeing some conservatism here. Forward it goes. Oh, good interception. into the middle. What an adventurous run from a defender. Going through. Big chance. Good effort first time. Ah, that’s unlucky. The idea was really smart for me and and he’s had a good go at it. Knocks it away. A chance. Goes direct to the front line. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Looks to bypass the midfield. gets the better of his man, crosses it in and he just whacks it away. It’s a fine run and he’s happy to keep going. hit into the middle and it’s hoisted clear. Still goalless at the moment. Plays it out to the flank. tried to play it through. Uh was too timid to make it through the defense. It’ll be noted and and improved upon, I’m sure. hoist it forward. Tries to stroke it through. Get a throw in. Good challenge. He just stood firm. That’s been drilled forward. That’s been intercepted. And that will come to nothing. let down by a lack of accuracy. And it’s been taken straight back. out towards the flank. Keeps everyone guessing. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. Well, look, I don’t think he can say he didn’t have enough support in that instance because he’s got to get his head up more and see what’s around him. If you’re going to keep your head down looking at the ball, you’re not going to see the options. And that was a bit selfish for me. Kings it out wide. Beautifully done. Aimed in towards the center. Tries to get it clear. How many interceptions have we seen now? Someone’s got to up the quality and and set an example. Defending of the desperate variety. Breaks on here. tries to get it forward quickly. Look at the defender bombing forward. A chance to play it in. Out towards the flank. He’s had a shot. They’ve scored. The keeper deserves some sympathy there. He may not have seen that until too late. Heat. Heat. So we have our breakthrough. Well, just listen to the reaction. I think you can hear the approval from the support all around the stadium. Hardly anything between the sides and the score is one0. Hoist it high. Oh, that’s nice. Over it comes. Knocks it away. No messing about. Just bludgeoned away. Oh, sweet feet. So, who’s he picking out? battles to win it back. And now they can launch a counter and it’s played forward. Defending of the desperate variety. And it’s played forward. And that’s the end of that. It all started well enough. Oh, what? And the shot. Really well taken goal. Two up now and they are cruising. It’s a keeper’s nightmare, Peter. He just couldn’t pick up on it until it was way too late having so many bodies in front of him. So that’s two now without reply. Well, unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned. I’m not sure they can gather themselves forward. It goes. The message is clear. None shall pass. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. Tries to get it forward quickly. Well, he’s looking at the referee, but the referee is shaking his head. played down the flank. That is terrific skill. Get has a goal. They are rampant. And the lead is extended still further. Oh, high quality goal. Lovely first touch. Sumptuous second. Three without reply. This is becoming a stroll. Well, they’re very much the better team at the moment, Peter, and and no doubt we’ll be looking to to cause even more damage here. Hoist it forward. Big chance. Corner and he just whacks it away. It’s on a plate. Gorgeous control there. That’s surely a foul. Free kick. And that has been clubbed away. goes for the cross. Goalkeeper’s ball. Drives it towards the front. It is quite a run he’s making here. A really good feet in towards the middle and he’s there to clear it. That’ll be the final action of the first half. Well, there’s plenty that can be said about the last 45 minutes, but one thing that cannot be said is that it’s dull. One-sided, yes, but packed with excitement. Peter, do I really need to say anything or can I simply refer you to the score line? Really has been an astonishing game peppered with goals, you cannot help feeling that the second half will supply more. If you’re just back from your break, you’ve missed very little of the resumption of the second half. Changes made by neither side from what we understand. up towards the front line. Cuts it out. Well, that’s where he wants it. Defending was strong and firm. And it’s played forward. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. He’s not played the ball. That’s a foul. Substitution and that’s been levered clear. That always looked inevitable. The defense dealt with that really well. Gets it back. Tries to get it forward quickly. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. And that’s spread out wide. That’s a good block, but at the expense of a corner. Good defending, albe it from an unexpected source. Well, they say that your front lads should be that first line of um of stopping the opposition. And I think he’s taken it to another level with his desire to get back and and help everyone out. Holds himself at it. Oh, that is an awful miss. Oh, look, I don’t want to sound too dismissive, but from here that looked a harder thing to do. Just brushed off the ball there. And he’s going long. Think that’s offside. Yes, it is. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Yet another to add to football’s endless list of could haves and should haves. Ah, quality deserted them when they really needed it. Forward it goes. Well, already game set and match. Or so it feels. That’s a corner kick. Knocks it away. Hoist it forward. Needless to say, he was expecting a better ball than that. tries it towards the front. Played out to the right. space to locate someone up front. Foot in. So, we’ve reached the hour mark. Tries to get it forward quickly. looking to hit the front line. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. steered forward. Hey played in with accuracy. gets it back and it’s played forward and he’s there to clear it in for a header. No, he didn’t quite meet it right. hoist it forward. Gets into a dangerous position. pins it out wide. He’s got the ball glued to his feet. He’s come loose. That’s it into the middle. dashing forward at pace and it’s got through. Time to deliver. It’s found its way to him. Chance. goes direct to the front line. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. Gets wrestled off the ball. goes long tries to get it forward quickly. A good interception. Forward it goes. That has put a stop to that. It’s being played forward. Played into space out wide. Oh, that is lovely footwork. There are a few waiting for it. Finds himself eased off the ball. He is not one readily to admit defeat. Don’t be surprised if he tries that again. And it’s played forward. Looks to bypass the midfield. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. into the last quarter of an hour. Hoist it forward. Well positioned to make that interception. Quick ball forward. Ball needed to be better there. It’s a wasted chance. And it’s played forward. Well played. He saw that coming. He’s making good use of his strength there. just refuses to be out muscled. Now the cross. Diving header. He’s scored. It is no contest. It is a landslide. Spectacular header. He really flung himself at that. You know, it takes a lot of courage to do that. To throw yourself at the ball knowing you could catch a boot in the head. They done So now we’re going to get those changes we have been expecting. Yeah, it’s pretty obvious as to who was going to be taken off. His energy levels began to to sag and he was never going to last until the final whistle. It’s become a case of men against boys. That’s the sort of defending that is going to upset the opposition. It already has actually. Yeah. And the fact that he’s registered, Peter, simply encourages more attention of um of a a closer nature. tries to get it forward quickly. Forward it goes. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. And he’s away. Forward. It goes. Hit long and direct. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal. And he didn’t go for the back heel. Hoist it forward. Tries lifting it over. He’s got options out wide. Heat. Heat. done very well to intervene. That’s been drilled forward. Knocks it away. That was good pressing. Forced the error to put an end to it before things could get even more threatening. And helps available out wide. Throw in. Lovely bit of skill. tries to pick out a teammate. And that has been cleared. Crossed in. Over hit and out of play. looks to thread it through. Here it comes. It’s out for a goal kick. plays it out to the wing. He’s got options out wide. He’s found his man. Gets it back. Well, he’s going to be pulled back for that one. The ref’s been lenient here. I doubt he’ll get too many more chances. up to meet it. It’s in. This is as ruthless as it gets. Yeah, by the looks of it, there may be still more to come. Things looking so easy, almost too easy here. tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, good interception and it’s played forward. Time added on will be two minutes. He’s got it and he’s got time. Oh, that’s neat. Out to the left it goes. Up. He gets put out the best in the keeper. He’s gone for it. He’s kept it out. That’s a great save. towering header and that is the last effort of the game. Demolition, destruction, annihilation. So, it’s down to business here. Well played. He saw that coming and that’s been levered clear. Well, that’s where he wants it. Long ball, but not especially accurate. Forward pass. More than happy to take the muscular approach. Referee has just said play on. Well, Needless to say, he was expecting a better ball than that. He’s pulled him up for that challenge. away from immediate danger. Can he deliver? He’s making good use of his strength there. Just refuses to be out muscled. gets wrestled off the ball. Chance to break and it’s played forward. That’s paid to a promising move. finds himself eased off the ball. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. That looks a foul. Yeah, referee’s given it. That’s a throw. Good idea, just poorly executed. tries to stroke it through. Clears it out of harm’s way. knocks it away forward. It goes. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. Pass needed to be better than that and he knows it now. A chance to break. Very little to choose between them, but very early days. Tries to get it forward quickly. A reprieve albeit perhaps momentary. back to the keeper and tries something new. Goes direct to the front line. It’s a long ball, but it’s not hit its target. Well, there’s a lot of movement out wide now. Yeah, you can certainly see that. Well, I think it’s a move to open the game up more, whether out wide or or just getting a runner through the middle now. It’s a fine run and he’s happy to keep going. He’s left his man. There are a few waiting for it. Cleared away. That right side seems to have become a very good outlet for them now. No doubt this is an area they’ve identified as a potential weakness in their opposition and they’re willing to exploit it. Well, the defense have two choices. Deal with the man or or deal with the space. Bit of an appeal but nothing doing. Loses his balance and loses the ball. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. Knocks it away. hoist it forward. Well positioned to make that interception and it’s played forward. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal and he didn’t go for the back heel. It can only get better this. We haven’t seen a shot yet, and I’m hoping that when we do, it’ll spark a whole series of them because it needs livening up. And he’s showed him a clean pair of heels. Up he gets. He’s delivered all right. Looking back at that, that’s how you play on the counter. Quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish. I thought it was a stunning, stunning breakaway. Heat. Heat. Deadlock broken. It’s one0. Yeah, and they know there’s plenty of work left in this one, Peter, before they can actually say that the job is over. He goes long and he’s there to clear it. has a look and plays it in. Gets good distance on it. Tries to get it forward quickly. Hardly anything between the sides and the score is one0. Forward it goes. looks to bypass the midfield. He could have been in. Just needed a better final ball. Thailand seemed to have chosen a tougher route through the middle. That was easily read and dealt with. out towards the flank. Lovely bit of skill there. Turns and goes back. Plays it out to the flank. In comes the cross. tries to get it clear. That’s spread out wide. Lovely feet. Surely hoist it forward. Looking to break out here. And that has put paid to that. Mobs it in gently. Tries a shot. Speared forward. Could move up a gear here. Tries to get it forward quickly. Cleared without complication. And it’s played forward. Plays it over to the other flank. Kings it out wide. almost half an hour in now. Forward it goes. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. He’s still going. Where to next? Well, the crowd clearly like what they just saw. Some real nononsense defending. tries to get it forward quickly and that has been cleared. It’s ruffled a few feathers but well dealt with. Hoist it forward. Cuts it out and it’s played forward. gets it back. Hit into the middle. That’s not going to find its target. Played out to the right. Oh, that’s nice. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Deep cross and that’s been levered clear. Hoist it forward. up towards the front line with a delicate ball and he’s straight offside. There’s a long ball. This is quite a run and he’s not done yet. whipped in. That intervention was very necessary. Deafly done. And they’re not going to make any further progress now. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. That’s spread out wide. Gets up to head it. Good delivery but no joy. Oh, this was all about good movement in the box just to allow him to get to it. and helps available out wide. Keeps everyone guessing. Forward it goes. Hoist it high. Oh, what a goal. Sticks it away. Two up and threatening to pull clear. Yeah, the pass was bang on and he just had to ensure he didn’t stray offside. The finish was actually bang on too. things starting to look very comfortable. Well, that second goal has given them so much more command and confidence now and they should be able to take it on from here and either add to their lead or or close it out. Surely they’ll manage one or the other. tries to get it forward quickly. For a moment, you felt that was going somewhere, but they’ll have to go again. And it’s played forward. A searching ball out wide. Crossed in. Repelled by the keeper. Forward it goes. Looking to hit the front line. Can’t get the better of his opposite number. And it’s got through. Done very well to intervene. Quick ball forward. has a hit. Oh, just lacked a decent finish. Oh, no. That was a chance. What a chance. hoist it forward. We hit Halime to review the first half. Well, it’s looking pretty straightforward, Peter. They’ve got themselves into a very good position. So why dinner premiere when they can repeat their first half success with a another show of strength? It has been a remarkable contest decorated by goals and two between them at Halime and we are already promptly back underway. Tries to get it forward quickly. That’s just very well played. He can hurt you with his back to goal and he didn’t go for the back heel. Gets into a dangerous position. Finds himself eased off the ball. hit long and direct. Looks to play him in, but a minor communications breakdown. And it’s played forward. Battles to win it back. Forward it goes. Tries to get it forward quickly. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. And it’s played forward. Hoist it forward forward. It goes. Defending was strong and firm. Oh, good ball. Attempts to play it through. looking for a decent ball in over to the left. Oh, nice touch out towards the flank. Back into the middle. Played into the middle. Timely intervention. Tries to get it forward quickly. plays it out to the wing and knocks one in. That’s a case of crossing in hope and unless they provide some more options, it’ll be more missed than hit. Hoist it forward. loses his balance and loses the ball. And it’s played forward. And now the breakaway. Well, it seems obvious that the plan is to to try and get their passing game going again, but not with that lack of quality. Two goals ahead and looking comfortable. Whistle’s gone. That’s a foul. Has a goal. He’s missed, but not by that far. Good effort. Very good effort. He would have at least wanted to make the keeper work though. There is some activity down on the touch line. It seems there’s going to be a change. Gets wrestled off the ball. Good challenge. He just stood firm. He’s through the middle and the finish. And more and more and more. And the lead is extended still further. But you know, thinking about that, I think they perfected that on the training ground because it took them seconds to get the ball from back to front. They really commit forward in numbers, too. That was all very well drilled. Three without reply. This is becoming a stroll. Pinged forward. Almost an hour gone. Balls out on the left now. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. Just brushed off the ball there. And that’s the end of that. It all started well enough. pumps it into the area. Dinks one in. Another chance from a corner. There’s going to be another change here. Defending of the desperate variety. Thailand have anticipated an aerial bombardment. Just looks like mass defense. Yeah, it’s a case of needs must at certain times, Peter, and and they have to respond to what’s being asked of them. Oh, that is lovely footwork. Has a hit. Arrived on quue but fluffed his line. Well, that’s why we all say indecision is fatal. The changes then in quick succession. has a hit. Played back in. Gets it into the middle. Danger averted for now. Forward it goes. And it’s hoisted clear. Goes for the cross. Goes for goal. And that’s off target. Thailand are really feeling the strain now. Impatience has taken charge. tries lifting it over and that is as far as they’re going to go. Well, that’s where he wants it. Oh, good interception. plays it long. Plays it into the box. Knocks it away. And it’s been taken short. A really good feet from him. So, who’s he picking out now? Can he finish? Oh, he’s got a crucial block in there. Shakes to shoot. And he should have made it for. Still a cracking effort. Really looked like a man on a mission the way he went through on goal. trying to get there. Hoist it forward. A really good feet. A chance to play it in. And the assistant referee has his flag raised for offside. Dinks one in. Here it is now. Surely that had to be more accurate. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Tries to get it forward quickly. needed a better pass there. Tries to locate someone up front. Let down by a lack of accuracy. And it’s played forward. Has he found his man? And the counter is on. That’s been drilled forward. Tries to get it forward quickly. Forward it goes. more than happy to take the muscular approach. He wasn’t very far from making something happen by himself. Lovely to see. hoist it forward and he’s there to clear it. Promising move that. Good inroads into enemy territory but no joy. It’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. Goes long. He managed to get it away. Drives it towards the front. So, three-0 now and surely there’ll be no twists in the plot. Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there. Well, Peter, his body shape was a giveaway before he made the pass and its obviousness was was appreciated. played in with accuracy. Tries to locate someone up front. Was a move that looked promising but eventually thwarted without doing any harm. Out to the right. Beautifully done. Plays it back. Out to the left it goes. There’s the delivery. Defending of the desperate variety. And that’s been leave it clear. And it’s played forward. It’s being played forward. Forward. It goes. That has put a stop to that. Keeper sends it forward. looks to clip it forward. Nicely controlled. Plenty waiting in the middle. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. The defense got the better of him this time, but I’m sure he’ll go again. He’s got options out wide. Time added on will be two minutes. What a ball this has turned out to be. And the weighted pass. It’s a goal kick. Plays it out to the flank. Striding forward, facing goal. Referee looks at his watch and blows his whistle. Great day for attacking football. The artists have painted their pretty things under way. And the through ball is intercepted. Tries to get it forward quickly and that’s been levered clear. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. Hoist it forward. Knocks it away into the channel. Defending of the desperate variety. played into space out wide. There are a few waiting for it. Pumps it into the area. He’s got the ball glued to his feet. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Good defending, albeit from an unexpected source. You have to admire commitment like that because he could easily ignore that and just kind of walk around and let others do all the chasing. But instead, he looks as if he relishes the chance to uh to dig in for his team here. Attempts to play it through. That’s spread out wide. Tries to get it clear. And that has been cleared. Oh, real danger here. Decent ball, strong punch. There’s been quite a few crosses coming in from that left hand side. No doubt this is an area they’ve identified as a potential weakness in their opposition and they’re willing to exploit it. Well, the defense have two choices. Deal with the man or or deal with the space. back into the middle. It’s a brilliant interception. seems now to be all about width. Well, when you have the personnel to create in wide areas, then they need to see as much of the ball as possible. Difficult to choose between them early on. Not many chances yet. Goes for a sweeping throw up to meet it. He’s delivered all right. First blood drawn. It is a good finish. The odds were against him. Little matter. I think that defense there thought they were in good position and they had him where they wanted. Yet somehow he’s worked the scoring position, but it didn’t seem on. It’s really crafty business that Deadlock broken. It’s one0. And that ought to be the trigger for a really exciting and entertaining game from here on. And it’s played forward. Regardless of the outcome, it is good to see someone running at the defense like that. Hardly anything between the sides and it’s one0. That is terrific skill. It’s a decent looking cross. battles to win it back. Forward it goes. Gets it back. Hoist it forward. And it’s played forward. Plays it out to the flank. Goes for the cross. And out to safety. played out to the right. Chipped through. It’s a move that looked promising but eventually thwarted without doing any harm. It’s being played forward. For a moment you felt that was going somewhere, but they’ll have to go again. He’s looked long this time. It’s out for a goal kick. He spotted the run and played him through. Shapes to shoot. It’s in two to the good. They have breathing space. Looking back at that, that’s how you play on the counter. Quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish. I thought it was a stunning, stunning breakway. Heat. Heat. So that’s two now without reply. No doubt as to who has the momentum here now. The only doubt is how many is coming. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal and he didn’t go for the back heel. Looks to clip it forward. Looks to bypass the midfield. Oh no, that’s not the ball he wanted. Over hit and out of play. tries to get it forward quickly. Defending of the desperate variety. Get a throw in. out towards the flank. And there’s a long ball. Too much on it. And that’s the keepers. It’s come loose. Oh, nice touch. And it’s hoisted clear. Gets it back. Hoist it forward. Timely intervention. and it’s played forward. And he’s going long. In comes the and a header. And more and more and more. And the lead is extended still further. That is a fine goal. Really efficiently done. Yeah, I just thought he wanted that more than anyone else on the pitch and it was fully deserved. He gave it everything he had. Three without reply. This is becoming a stroll. Well, they’re very much the better team at the moment, Peter, and and no doubt we’ll be looking to to cause even more damage here. What a throw in. Time and again they are repelled. Some good work on the right flank. Now what’s next? Forward it goes. cleans it out wide. Oh, that is lovely footwork. Real chance. Oh, the keeper’s done just about enough. Oh, I’m not sure what he had in mind. And I don’t think he knew either. Beautifully done. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. And that’s spread out wide. Oh, real chance. And the assistant referee rightly gives him offside. was brushed off the ball there. Tries to get it forward quickly. That has put a stop to that. Forward it goes. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. Pinged forward. Cuts it out. Plays it out to the wing and shoots. And he should have made it four. Lobs it in gently and the ball is out of play. played in with accuracy. Oh, well intercepted. Really alerts the danger. Hoist it forward. Promising move that. Good inroads into enemy territory, but no joy. Over to the left. out to the right. Oh, sweet feet. Can he deliver? Keeps everyone guessing. Out to the left it goes. Crosses it in. Ah, he’s given it away. Defense has got rid of that. There’s the whistle for Halime. As easy as one, two, three. It really has been that straightforward halfway through the match, but very little to suggest that much will change over the second half. Peter, do I really need to say anything or can I simply refer you to the score line? Really has been an astonishing game peppered with goals. You cannot help feeling that the second half will supply more. So, we’re just settling back into this second half. And it’s played forward. That’s the throw. Hoist it forward. And that’s been levered clear. No messing about. Just bludgeoned away. Forward it goes. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. He’s got through. He’s found his man. Shot goal. Massive lead. knocks one and a shot. A real chance and a real let off. All he’d be thinking is please ground swallow me up. And again they run up against stubborn defending. tries to locate someone up front. A long ball, but not especially accurate. And that’s the end of that. And it all started well enough. Done very well to intervene. Drives it towards the front. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. tries to get it forward quickly. Out to the right. It’s a good run down the right. Where could this lead? Whipped in. Final checks on the touch line. A change about to occur. goes long. Thailand have anticipated an aerial bombardment. Just looks like mass defense. He’s gone for it. It’s a goal. Surely now they are well and truly out of sight. It’s a keeper’s nightmare, Peter. He just couldn’t pick up on it until it was way too late having so many bodies in front of him. Things looking so easy, almost too easy here. And it’s played forward. That will annoy the manager. They’re making themselves too predictable here. What a good way to assert your authority for this second period. They were prepared to commit numbers forward into attacking positions and the risk has been deservedly rewarded. That’s put paid to a promising move and through to the goalkeeper. Goes direct to the front line. Oh, good ball. And it’s the goalkeepers to claim. Hoist it forward and back to base. That’s been drilled forward. He’s through now. Is he in? Quick glance at goal. Going for goal. Up towards the front line. great strength. Too strong for his opponent. He wasn’t very far from making something happen by himself. Lovely to see. Played out to the right. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. Oh, good interception. Sh has a goal. Tries to get it clear. play for a throw. But there’s going to be another change here. over to the left. Lovely feet and that’s a throw in. Well, the defense got the better of him this time, but I’m sure he’ll go again forward. It goes, knocks it away. And they’re not going to make any further progress now. Gets it back. hoist it forward. That’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. Well, that’s where he wants it. Gets the better of his man. Plays it out to the wing. loses his balance and loses the ball. That’s one way of trying to make things happen. There’s a few who could follow that example. Fires it in. Has a shot and in it goes and again they pile on the misery. Well, I think we’ve gone past humiliation now. This could be doing some real psychological damage. He’s made it through. Quite a day at the office for him. Oh, this has been an immense contribution from one player. He’s been just about unplayable. The irresistible force today. It’s become a case of men against boys. Looking to hit the front line. He goes long. Well, Needless to say, he was expecting a better ball than that. To get it forward quickly. Well played. He saw that coming and it’s played forward. Well positioned to make that interception. plays it out to the flank. He can get that clear. Couple of changes then in quick succession. Sausage. A chance to play it in. Just a quarter of an hour to play. Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there. Yeah, the idea was right. The delivery wasn’t. They can revisit that further on. Played back in. hoist it forward. And that is as far as they’re going to go. That’s a promising ball. And that has been cleared. He’s making good use of his strength there. Tries a shot. That’s good distance on it. It’s to set one up. It’s on a plate. Has a pop. He’s put his foot right through that one. Oh no. That was a chance. What a chance. let down by a lack of accuracy. Tried to play it through. The movement was good, but the pass lacked authority. Uh, a cause of mild frustration. And he’s cut it out. That’s a foul. Free kick’s been given. gets it up field. tries to get it forward quickly. The ball needed to be better there. It’s a wasted chance. Tries to locate someone up front. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. That’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. won’t get the better of his opposite number. That’s the sort of defending that is going to upset the opposition. It already has actually. Well, it’s about time, isn’t it? Only after he’s uh just notched a third. Forward it goes. Well played. He saw that coming. Just five minutes left and it’s played forward. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. goes direct to the front line and it’s played forward and he’s there to clear it. plays it long. Gets his foot in there. Tries to get it forward quickly. Back to the keeper and go again. played in with accuracy out to the right. Gorgeous control there. Forward. It goes out to the left. It goes. That’s a good block, but at the expense of a corner. Great leap and that is the last effort of the game. A great play for attacking football. The artists have painted their pretty pictures. Only one team in it. After all of that, Jim, what are you thinking? I think it’s all about setting the right tone at the start of a match. And if you can back that up with an early goal, it just energizes everybody. the whole performance and I think they were certainly more fluid as a result of the early goal. Well, that’s it from us. Thanks very much, Jim. It’s a very good day to you from both of us. So, it’s down to business here. tries one an early chance their first of the game. Well, that’s why we all say indecision is favorable. Stitched to try his luck. Didn’t come off, but an audacious effort. Oh, that’s fantastic improvisation he showed there. Adjusted himself very quickly, but it’s rare that they come off. tries to get it forward quickly and he’s there to clear it forward. It goes. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. Shot a goal. He’s missed, but not by that far. Well, he doesn’t need a second invitation even from that range. Hoist it forward. Promising move that. Good inroads into enemy territory, but no joy. The ball needed to be better there. It’s a wasted chance. Ball’s loose. Who’s getting there? A chance. A really good feet. Massive leap. He’s delivered all right. That is a fine goal. Really efficiently done. Well, look, it’s it’s often the timing of the jump that dictates what you can do with any header, and if you get it slightly wrong, then you’ll struggle. But that was beautifully met. It really was. Deadlock broken. It’s one N. Well, just listen to the reaction. And I think you can hear the approval from the support all around the stadium. And it’s played forward in towards the middle. Timely intervention. Played in with accuracy. tries to get it forward quickly. Plays it out to the wing. The ball has crossed the line and it’s a throw whipped in. It’s a goal kick out to the left. It goes. Thailand have opted to really stretch the game now. Yeah, that’s pretty evident. But what’s their thinking? Um I it looks as if the opposition are happy to defend the width of the 18 yd box trying to remove that compactness. A chance to play it in. Decent ball and it’s played forward. Has a go. Bullied effort. Listen, I’m not sure he had to go at that first time, but at least he showed some good confidence. There has been just the early goal here and the score is 1-0. And he’s going long. Dangerous looking ball. And it’s come to nothing. hoist it forward. Tries to get it clear. He ran himself into trouble there. Free kick given away. chance. Balls out on the left now. Goes for the cross forward. It goes and they’re not going to make any further progress now. hoist it forward. Played out to the right. Played back in. And it’s played forward and he certainly caught him there. It’s a free kick. And he’s going direct. Decent hit from there. tries to get it forward quickly and it’s played forward and that’s the end of that. It all started well enough and the shot. Big relief. It just needed better contact. Thailand know they can rely on the counter and they’ve just expressed a warning. tries to get it forward quickly. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. That’s great strength on the ball. Plays it out to the flank. Nice touch. out to the right. Yeah, he’s failed him there. He’s gone for the shots. Oh, he’s pulled off a fine save. Well, I thought a starting position was good and that helped the keeper to judge the flight of the ball and and deal with it well. hoist it forward. He’s away. Just brushed off the ball there. Good determined running there, but one back by the defense. Well, he was thinking about headlines, I’m sure, but he ought to focus more on on breaking lines. He’s gone for it. Cleared without complication. Gets wrestled off the ball. Breaks on here. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. He could be in here. Over to the left. Hit into the shakes to bully it. Oh, that is rather weward. Plays it out to the flank. That’s a throw. Good run down the left. What can they make of it? Forward it goes. Yet another to add to football’s endless list of could haves and should haves. Thailand just had to make the ball stick but came up short. Out towards the flank. gets good distance on it. In it comes. That’s a brilliant interception. Hoist it forward. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. A retrieved albe it perhaps momentary. Oh, sweet feet. Drives it in. knocks it away. Going for goal. No mistake. Two to the third. They have breathing space. I can give the keeper a little sympathy here because I think he might have been slightly unsighted. However, credit where it’s due. It’s still a fine finish from a tight spot. Heat. Heat. So that’s two now without reply. Well, at 1 n this contest was still nicely poised, but now that it’s gone to two, mindsets are affected a lot more. Winning belief one way and that losing feeling the other. Receives it in a good position. pings it out wide. Good defending, albe it from an unexpected source. I think it’s great to see that kind of application and desire from a forward who wants to help out his defense. I I think you know any good team really your striker should be the first line of that defense and and he’s delivering. Good ball. It’s found its target away from immediate danger. Gets it back. looks to bypass the midfield. Coached through there. Well, they can break here. Gorgeous control there. Chance. Well, even for him that may have been a touch ambitious. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. And it’s played forward. Goes long. Cleared away. That’ll be a corner. That’s not going far. Quick glance at goal. Danger averted for now. He goes long. Steered out wide, but he won’t reach that one. Tries to get it forward quickly. Forward it goes. And he just whacks it away. Played out to the right. Great strength, too strong for his opponent. Forward tracking back like that. Always appreciated by the crowd. Well, they say that your front lads should be that first line of um of stopping the opposition. And I think he’s taken it to another level with his desire to get back and and help everyone out. Looking for a decent ball in and the shot. That’s caused a worry or two. Well, the look on his face says it all. gets it back. Confirmation that there will be two minutes stoppage time. And that’s spread out wide. Delivers across. Knocks it away. He’s come loose. This is promising. Has a pop. That’s a half decent try. Good effort. Very good effort. He would have at least wanted to make the keeper work though. The referee’s pulled play back and has booked him for the original offense. There is the halime whistle to review the first half. Well, it’s looking pretty straightforward, Peter. They’ve got themselves into a very good position. So why dither here when they can repeat their first half success with a another show of strength? A half of massive entertainment and excitement. A two goal margin, yes, but all things still possible. So we’re just settling back into this second half. Thailand making a fresh attempt to release someone in behind from back to front. And this is something different. Doesn’t get the pass he’s looking for. Forward it goes. tries to locate someone up front. And he’s there to hoof it away. Beautifully done. So, who’s he picking out? Finds himself eased off the ball. The defense got the better of him this time, but I’m sure he’ll go again. battles to win it back. Good defending, albe it from an unexpected source. You have to admire commitment like that because he could easily ignore that and just kind of walk around and let others do all the chasing, but instead he looks as if he relishes the chance to uh to dig in for his team here. Good challenge. He just stood firm. tries to get it forward quickly. Just brushed off the ball there. Hoist it forward. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. And they win it back again. Battles to win it back. going through and it’s played forward. Could move up a gear here. Well, it seems obvious that the plan is to to try and get their passing game going again, but not with that lack of quality. Gets it back. Well, no doubt someone is being given special treatment here. Yeah, and getting on the score sheet has clearly made him a marked man. Now, two goals ahead and looking comfortable. Can’t get the better of his opposite number. Forward tracking back like that always appreciated by the crowd. I think it’s great to see that kind of application and desire from a forward who wants to help out his defense. I I think you know any good team really your striker should be the first line of that defense and and he’s delivering. Forward it goes. Well positioned to make that interception. Tries to get it forward quickly. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. A buccaneering run from the defender. Goes for goal. He can get that clear. Time to deliver. Lovely feet. It into the middle. Hoist it forward. Looked promising but eventually thwarted without doing any harm. plays it out to the wing and it’s played forward. Tries to get it forward quickly. Forward. It goes. Cuts it out. Ah, he’s given it away. Right through the middle. That’s one way of trying to make things happen. There’s a few who could follow that example. Well played. He saw that coming. Hoist it forward. Done very well to intervene. Forward it goes. It’s being played forward. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. And it’s got through. Good run. Ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending. Crowd appreciates good football all around there. loses his balance and loses the ball. Tries to get it forward quickly. Gets it back. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal. And he didn’t go for the back heel. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Tries a shot in. It goes. What a great finish. But how about the touch? It just allowed him to put the ball exactly where he wanted it and the rest became a formality. after 69. So now we’re going to get those changes we have been expecting. We have got ourselves a game here. I think they can sense a comeback here and so can this crowd. It’s all systems go now. More than happy to take the muscular approach and that’s put paid to a promising move. And it’s played forward. Good clearance and very necessary. Well, that goal really has stirred things up. The cat right amongst the pigeons now. Yeah, Peter, the the cushion is gone and it may get a little bumpier over the next few minutes, but it doesn’t have to mean a momentum switch. If they can gather themselves quickly, they could hit back. There’s going to be another change here. Oh, really good feet from him. Good take by the keeper. He’s read that well. Good spell of possession this but very little to show for it. Forward it goes. Oh, good interception. Oh, great run. Magical. Played into the middle. Goes direct to the front line. It’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. 75 minutes played and the defense can get it clear. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they? Think he’s got rid of that. Can he hits one? Oh, that could cost them. Oh, that could prove a pivotal moment in this match. They needed that goal badly, you know. The changes then in quick succession. tries to get it forward quickly. This is good ball retention and it should be enough from here. But they want to double their advantage. That’s been drilled forward. Well, that’s where he wants it. drives it towards the front. Has he picked him out? Oh, that is lovely footwork. There are a few waiting for it. Incoming cross. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they? And the referee has brought play back and showed him a yellow card. hoist it forward. Clears it out of harm’s way. Thailand are definitely not going down without a scrap. Their attitude just can’t be faulted. That’s a He’s had a go. The lead stays intact. Just and it’s played forward. Oh, real danger here. hits one back of the net and surely that clinches it. There really is no way back now. Well, from right in front of goal, there was no way he was going to miss. Well, it’s pretty damning on the part of that defense, Peter, that he was allowed so much time and space, but I think you have to give credit where it’s due, and it was a brilliant setup and finish. His second of the game and an eye now for the hattick. So the lead now is two. Quick ball forward. Gets into a dangerous position. Good ball. That’s gone a long way up and away. Swung over. Hoist it forward. Well played. He saw that coming. up towards the front line. Played into space out wide. Great leap. Yes. And the lead is extended still further. No space, no problem. You just cannot stop him. Well, I think that defense there thought they were in good position and they had him where they wanted. Yet somehow he’s worked the scoring position when it didn’t seem on. It’s really crafty business that So now the difference is three. Well, unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned. I’m not sure they can gather themselves. Out to the right, keeps everyone guessing. Gets into some space. That looks a good ball and he’s cut it out. Forward it goes. Ball needed to be better there. It’s a wasted chance. Pinged forward. Well, that’s where he wants it. Gets wrestled off the ball. looking to hit the front line. And there goes the final whistle. Demolition, destruction, annihilation. They simply ran away with it. And we’re underway. Good defending, albe it from an unexpected source. You have to admire commitment like that because he could easily ignore that and just kind of walk around and let others do all the chasing, but instead he looks as if he relishes the chance to uh to dig in for his team here. that’s spread out wide. Whipped in well read. He’s sorted that out. That’s gone a long way up and away. He’s put a stop to that. Plays it out to the wing. goes for goal. Decent bit off try. Ah, it’s a little unfortunate. He had a lot of people worried then. Finds himself eased off the ball. And it’s played forward. Clears it out of harm’s way. And it’s been taken straight back. Forward it goes. Oh, he’s found him in and the shots. That’s a half decent try. And he’s there to clear it. Kings it out wide. Gets it into the middle. defending of the desperate variety. They’ve managed to get it away. Tries to get it forward quickly. He’s looked long this time. Chance to squeeze it through. No, not quite. They are working very hard to get it wide now, Jim. Yeah, I think they’ve decided to concentrate on on working the flanks to help the production line. It’s uh it’s where the room is. He’s played in. He’s had a go. Good run. Lovely take, but that is where it stopped. That was created because of good lively movement which pretty much dictated the pass. Towering header. He’s missed but not by that far. Good effort. Very good effort. He would have at least wanted to make the keeper work though. Hoist it forward. Anything Jim to pick out of these early exchanges? Well, I think both teams probably feel it’s it’s too early for either to start taking real risks. So, they’re still very much in a phase of of testing the waters and and sizing each other up. Hoist it forward. And they’re not going to make any further progress now. Forward it goes. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. Tries to get it forward quickly and he heaves it forward. Beautifully done. Gets it back. Neither side yet able to find the net. And it’s played forward. He spotted the run and played him through. Goalkeeper’s ball. out to the right. He’s come through and he’s had a quick look inside. Has a goal They’ve played it short. Played in with accuracy. Well, they can break here. Out to the left. It goes out towards the flank and he’s straight offside. That is terrific skill. plays it out to the flank and he’s got the ball glued to his feet. Looking for a decent ball in. It’s come through. Comes it out wide. There’s a pop. It’s off target and by quite a way. Quick thinking and quick control, Peter. That creates a little more working space. tries to get it forward quickly. Hoist it forward. Cuts it out. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. Gets into a dangerous position. That’s just very well played. He can’t hurt you with his back to goal. And he didn’t go for the back heel. Goes for goal. a reprieve, albeit perhaps momentary. Well, it seems obvious that the plan is to to try and get their passing game going again, but not with that lack of quality. A real chance if he can get through. That’s spread out wide. Aimed in towards the center. up to meet it. Well, he should have done better and he knows it. Well, the look on his face says it all. Forward it goes. And he just whacks it away. Timely intervention. There really wasn’t very much in that. Not far away from being a telling final ball. Look, the game is full of ifs and buts. If only the the pass could have completed its journey in with a header. Still want to get his head on that, but couldn’t score. Oh, this was all about good movement in the box just to allow him to get to it. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. floats one over and it’s got through. Out of play for a goal kick and it’s played forward. Slightly better ball would have led to a very different outcome there. Thailand seemed to have chosen a tougher route through the middle. That was easily read and dealt with. Tries to get it forward quickly. Gets it back. Tries lifting it over. plays it over to the other flank. Tries to stroke it through and it’s hoisted clear. Oh, what shapes to shoot. And it’s been taken short. has a hit. Hoist it forward. No goals as yet. Gets his foot in there. He certainly caught him there. It’s a free kick. gets up to head it. Oh, what a lovely delivery. It deserved better. Well, by crossing the ball so quickly, I think this defense just can’t get set to deal with it. I think deserved a better outcome than what we saw, but um worth exploring more. Oh, really good feet from him. Decent ball. tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, good interception. And it’s played forward. Just five minutes left until the break. forward tracking back like that always appreciated by the crowd. Well, they say that your front lads should be that first line of um of stopping the opposition and I think he’s taken it to another level with his desire to get back and and help everyone out. Driving on a real charge here. Can he deliver? And he’s there to clear it. Out towards the flank. He’s had a look. Looks to clip it forward. That’ll be a throw in. It’s being played forward. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Time added on will be two minutes. Hoists it high up towards the front line. Battles to win it back. pings it out wide. He’s got options out wide and that’s been levered clear. It’s a clear but not much of one. Oh, looks like he’s been taken out there. Referee’s had a look. He’s blown his whistle for Halime. So, neither team has broken through. Certainly not for the world of trying. It’s been an interesting game up to now, but still goalless. Look back on the first 45 minutes. Well, nil nil is a little surprising and while initial has a pop. So, who’s he picking out? It will be a throw in. Some good stubborn defending there. And the weighted pass gets into some space.
