Cut out in the nick of time. But he’s gone for it. Their first effort on goal. That was good defensive pressure to give him less maneuvering room. And it’s played forward. It’s being played forward. Well, that’s where he wants it. Good take by the keeper. He’s read that well. Quick ball pull forward. and he’s made sure that that won’t get through. Forward it goes. That’s one way of trying to make things happen. There’s a few who could follow that example. Drives it towards the front. Tries to get it forward quickly. deflected behind for a corner kick. And that’s been levered clear. aimed in towards the center. Hoist it forward. And it’s played forward. Defense has got rid of that. It’s being played forward. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Forward it goes and it’s hoisted clear. That’s ruffled a few feathers but well dealt with. tries to get it forward quickly. Hoists it forward and he heaves it forward. That’s been won straight back. steered forward. If you have just joined us, well, you’ve missed no goals. Tries to get it forward quickly. done very well to intervene. And it’s played forward. Tries to get it clear. floats one over. Hit into the middle and that’s been levered clear. Play for a throw. loses his balance and loses the ball. Forward it goes. out towards the flank. It’s a loose ball. Oh, that is asking for trouble. Plenty waiting in the middle. Turns and goes back. Beautifully done. No messing about. Just bludgeoned away. That’s a foul. Free kick’s been given. sticks in a foot to win it back. Tries to get it forward quickly. And it’s played forward. Gets into a dangerous position. Let’s put a stop to that. Heat. Heat. They’re guilty of lacking inventiveness here. It’s all broken down. Good running with the ball. Can they build on it? Oh no, that’s not the ball he wanted. Hoist it forward. Well, that’s where he wants it. And now they can launch a counter. And that’s the end of that. It all started well enough. And he’s there to cut it out. And it’s played forward. That was one quality pass away from being a very decent chance. looked very promising. Ah, quality deserted them when they really needed it. Lovely bit of skill there. It’s come loose. Forward it goes. He could have been in. Just needed a better final ball. Ah, that was just poor decision making and a weak execution. Just needed to be better than that and he knows it. Has he found his man? looking for space out wide. Goalkeeper’s ball. Tries to get it forward quickly. Precious little by way of goalmouth action yet. Oh, really good feet from him. Hits one. That’s been drilled forward. 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. Oh, that is lovely footwork. Played out to the right. And he’s got the ball glued to his feet. Now the counter There’s a long ball played in with accuracy. Cuts it out. Questions were asked and he’s given the answers. Dashing forward at pace. And that is as far as they’re going to go. Forward it goes. Oh, good interception. Hoist it forward. Oh, looks like he’s been taken out there. Ward pass. That is going to be the final action of the first half. Both sides have drawn blanks and have toiled at times, but it’s not been a bad game by any means. So, first half thoughts. Yeah, the score line doesn’t tell the whole story as one side has been significantly better, at least defensively. So, they head in no further forward. The score here still nil nil. And we’re already back underway here. Well, that first 45 minutes didn’t deliver as we’d hoped. Lots of effort, but a lack of quality with the finishing has left us hoping that someone can step up and produce something a little more magical. It’s a brilliant interception. Driving on. He could shoot here. 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. Well positioned to make that interception. Plays it out to the flank. Out to the right. Tries to pick out a teammate. gets good distance on it. And here’s the chance to counter. Truthfully, it was hard to see any better outcome there. Plays it long. Has a pop. Big relief. It just needed better contact. Well, he did get himself into a good position. Something for him to cling to. Gorgeous control there. So, who’s he picking out? Out to the left it goes. Played into the great leap. The ball’s come loose and the chase is on. Attempts to play it through. Oh, sweet feet. Looking for a decent ball in. plays it out to the wing. That is terrific skill. There are a few waiting for it. Cleared without complication. The ball has crossed the line and it’s a throw. up towards the hour mark and still no goals. A real chance to break. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. managed to get it away. And it’s played forward. And it’s been intercepted. And that will come to nothing. Out for a throw. Almost an hour gone. It is still anyone’s game. Nil nil. Knocks it away. It is a corner. They’ve played it short. Here’s the ball in. Gets it back. 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 tries to get it forward quickly. Well played. He saw that coming. nice touch. plays it out to the flank. Has a hit. No mistake. 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. Well, we certainly had to wait for it, Peter. Now a difficult decision. Is it stick or twist? Oh, what a ball. Loose ball. Who’s going to get there? Oh, real danger here. Ball’s gone out of play. pumps it into the heads it just couldn’t turn it in. I have to commend the wing play but I have to condemn the defending. They’ve got to stop the cross. Hoist it forward over to the left. Oh, that’s neat. Battles to win it back. Talk about singling someone out. Well, they seem intent on marking him out of the game. They’re certainly trying to wind them up in the process. Peter tries to locate someone up front. The ball needed to be better there. It’s a wasted chance. Their response to falling behind has been very strong. They just need a converter to step up now. Cross deflected behind for a corner. There is some activity down on the touch line. It seems there’s going to be a change. Well, you have to feel a little for the player been taken off here. I think he’s been made the scapegoat after that, but I guess something had to be done. I suppose it did need a little change. So Jim, what are you thinking? Yeah, the ride is still a bit bumpy, Peter. So they’re chasing the cushion of a second goal. Time and again they are repelled. Hardly anything between the sides and the score is 1 n and it’s played forward. It was a move that looked promising but eventually thwarted without doing any harm. Couple of changes then in quick succession. Looks to drop one in and through to the goalkeeper. Forward it goes. He’s had a go. Oh, denied brilliantly. Oh, that’s a sparkling save. Absolutely sparkling. His reflexes were ultra sharp. Danger averted for now. It’s a throw in. Hoist it forward. Peter, they have to fight the onset of desperation and keep enough cool heads to still deliver into the box. Cleared away. Can’t get the better of his opposite number. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they? Cuts it out. And it’s played forward. And he’s made sure that that won’t get through. This is good ball retention and it should be enough from here, but they want to double their advantage. Well, that’s where he wants it. Well, no question as to who’s winning the battle in midfield at the moment. Some very impressive pressing in place here. Done very well to intervene. It’s nice to get it forward quickly. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they just brushed off the ball there? That’s great strength on the ball. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. This is good ball retention and it should be enough from here, but they want to double their advantage. Looks to bypass the midfield. hoist it forward. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they? Goes direct to the front line. This is good ball retention and it should be enough from here. But they want to double their advantage. Well played. He saw that coming. The final five minutes. Almost there. And the players can feel it and he’s there to clear it. A chance to play it in. Lovely bit of skill. Shot goal. That’s gone a long way up and away. Ball’s loose. Who’s getting there? I think it’s time for them to concentrate on closing this one out. And it’s played forward. Oh, well intercepted. Really alerts the danger. Yeah, it’s safe to say that they just need to manage this to secure the win now. Well, the referee’s pulled play back and has booked him for the original offense. Inter stoppage time. They must make something of this. Good clearance and very necessary. Well, it remains to be seen whether they can come up with that little bit of class to rescue the situation and it needs to be any time now really. Deep into stoppage time. Forward it goes. Question. Well, he’s going to be pulled back for that one. Two minutes to be added on. Hoist it forward. up towards the front line and out to safety. That’ll be a throw in. Hoist it high. Tries a shot. Oh, great save. Real class. Well, that was high class goalkeeping there to back up his his high class wage. And it’s been taken short. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Added time is up. And there goes the whistle. Terrific contest. It really might have tipped either way. The margins were tiny. Just a goal in it, but that was enough. Well, this game looked to have nil nil written all over it, but credit to them. They upped their game in the end and I thought they got what they deserved. I think we’re just about out of time. So many thanks to Jim and a very good afternoon to you. second. So off we go then. It has gone through to him. Whistle’s gone. That’s a foul. This could fall anywhere. And it’s hoisted clear. Oh, really good feet from him. That’s a foul. Simple decision for the referee. He gets a ticking off and needs to be very careful now. Well, he knew what he was taking on there, Peter. And special delivery from the ref. That’s a good ball. Real chance trying to get there. Aimed in towards the center. Good clearance and very necessary. And the weighted pass deep over the top. He’s got that one wrong. tries to get it forward quickly. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Could be a chance here. Shapes to shoot. He’s scored. Well, if that was their intention pre-match, let me tell you, it’s worked out very nicely. I think for the skipper to chip in with a goal, too, is a bonus. But this game has already taken on a real attacking edge and and long may that continue. Well, from right in front of goal, there was no way he was going to miss. And that’s what the game is all about. Find space and finish. But we have to credit the passer to pick him out. 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. Oh, that’s neat. Out to the right. Tries a shot in it goes. Well, that always looked the likely outcome. I just think it’s clever positioning from clever movement and when all of that is synchronized with the right pass that’s what happens. That has certainly made things interesting. Well, there’s resilience for you, Peter. As a side, they never lost focus despite the set back. And this is thoroughly merited for me. Now they can go in better possibly. Good delivery. No joy. I have to commend the wing play, but I have to condemn the defending. They’ve got to stop the cross. They’ve played it short. Just brushed off the ball there. And they’re not going to make any further progress now. He’s had a go. Good try. The outcome could so easily have been different. That’s a little unfortunate. He had a lot of people worried then. 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. managed to get it away. That’s been won straight back. Lovely bit of skill. gets up to hit it. Nicely worked. They used the one two to great effect in working their way through the middle. And a little more luck though and they may have been celebrating. That’s been drilled forward. Well, that’s where he wants it. That’s gone a long way up and away. So, midway through the first half and it is a tight old tie. Was a move that looked promising but eventually thwarted without doing any harm. Hoist it forward. Shoots. That has certainly tested the keeper. Well, what can I say? Truly wonderful goalkeeping. massive leap. It goes to show he is human after all. All he’d be thinking is please ground swallow me up. Well played. He saw that coming. looks to clip it forward. Knocks it away. That’s great strength on the ball. plays it out to the flank. Chooses to go back. played out to the right and the ball’s come out. Has a pop. Oh, denied brilliantly. The keeper really dug out his defense then. A magnificent effort. And it’s been taken short. Good ball. Oh, shooting chance. No mistake. And the game is well and truly turned on its head. 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. Well, this is what we’ve been waiting for. Yeah, for me, this team seems to find it easier to attack than defend, but now they’re going to need to dig in at the back of it. And it’s played forward. Has he found his man? loses his balance and loses the ball. Goes down but nothing given. Forward it goes. Beautifully done. And it’s played forward. Cuts it out. Time to deliver. And the finish. Oh, just lacked a decent finish. That’s found its target. That’s pretty clear. It is a foul. That’s a booking. Always looked it. Players protesting furiously, but there’s little or no sympathy from the ref. That’s a hit. tries to get it clear. plays it into the box. That’s a case of crossing in hope and unless they provide some more options, it’ll be more missed than hit. Defending of the desperate variety. swung over into the middle. Gets into a dangerous position. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. goes long. Too much on it. And that’s the keepers. That is terrific skill. Out to the left it goes. Oh, sweet feet. What an adventurous run from a defender. Defenders on the back foot and the through ball is intercepted. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking. Sonic goal. Big relief. It just needed better contact. Well, he did get himself into a good position. Something for him to cling to. He goes long and the flag has stayed down. He’s got the ball glued to his feet. Goes for goal. Oh, that is rather weward. Well, that’s why we all say indecision is capable. Little accusatory stare there tells the whole story. Ah, quality deserted them when they really needed it. That’s spread out wide. Lovely feet. Oh, well defended. That had to be done. Tries to get it forward quickly. The ball needed to be better there. It’s a wasted chance. Tries to locate someone up front. It’s ruffled a few feathers, but well dealt with. hoist it forward. Tries to get it forward quickly. 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. gets it back. Battles to win it back. Could move up a gear here. And it’s played forward. Oh. Forward it goes. He’s made sure that that won’t get through and he reached Halime. Oh, what a comeback. Certainly I didn’t see that coming. Well, I think many in this crowd. The midway point of the game. Well, Peter, I’m just thinking of the best way to describe that. Frantic, um, frenzy. It was unmissable and it was irresistible. Forget about the analysis on this one. Just enjoy it. Very little in it. The score at Halime is two goals to one. We’re proply into the second 45 minutes. Oh, good. And the shots just off target. Oh, it’s a very good effort. There wasn’t much wrong with that at all. We’re talking fine margins now. well positioned to make that interception. looks to bypass the midfield. That’s a good block but at the expense of a corner. Good save. He got a decent fist on that. Lovely bit of skill there. A chance to play it in. plays it out to the flank. Big chance. It’s off target and by quite a way. Oh, look, I don’t want to sound too dismissive, but from here that looked a harder thing to do. tries to stroke it through. Dangerous looking ball and it’s come to nothing. tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Back into the middle. gets his foot in there and he certainly caught him there. It’s a free kick. Well, that looks like a final warning. Still no card. gets wrestled off the ball and it’s played forward. Well, they could break here. Good challenge. He just stood firm. hoist it forward and it’s played forward. It’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. Hoist it forward now. Try as they might, they just couldn’t get into an attacking area. And he’s going long. Chance to squeeze it through. No, not quite. Well, that’s where he wants it. Oh, that’s nice. It’s come loose. just about up to the hour now. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. Back to the keeper and try something new. Forward it goes. Incoming cross and he’s there to cut it out to the right. Oh, that’s a foul in a dangerous area. That’s going to be a good thing. The players are making their point, but the ref clearly isn’t interested. He’s waved them all away. towering header. He’s done very well to get to that. Oh, that’s a sparkling save. Absolutely sparkling. His reflexes were ultra sharp. Great leap. Well, that wasn’t too dissimilar to the previous attempt. They’re just lacking a cutting edge, Peter. And while that’s fairly obvious, the rest of their attacking play is actually quite good. Done very well to intervene. looks to dink one in and through to the goalkeeper. can’t get the better of his opposite number. A real chance to break. Well, it’s good stuff. This is better. Well, hit and hope is just about the sum of it, isn’t it, Jim? Well, there’s no two ways about it. This is what they have to do. goes direct to the front line. Tries to get it forward quickly. Cleared away. Gets it back. That’s the sort of defending that is going to upset the opposition. It already has actually. Yeah. And now that he scored, this defense is on high alert whenever he he goes anywhere near the ball. in with the challenge. That’s a foul. Free kick’s been given. Referee has resisted the temptation to go to his pocket. It’s just a stern lecture. Well, with him already been on a yellow, he should know much better than that. And that is not finding anyone. tried to play it through. Well, Peter, his body shape was a giveaway before he made the pass and its obviousness was was appreciated. Hoist it forward. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. hit long and direct and out to safety. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. Forward it goes. Decent looking ball. He’s gone for it. Yeah, he’s pulled him up for that challenge. tries to get it forward quickly. Defense has got rid of that. And it’s played forward. Forward it goes. Drives it towards the front. 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 thread it through. And it’s been taken straight back. Nice touch. And the shot. He’s scored. Two ahead late in the day. Game over surely. Just so calm under pressure. 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 the lead now is two. Hoist it forward. tries to get it forward quickly. Defending of the desperate variety up towards the front line. Cuts it out. He could have been in. Just needed a better final ball. Uh that was just poor decision making and a weak execution. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Gets into a dangerous position. Gets it back. He’s got options out wide. Play for a throw. It’s one away from immediate danger. Plenty waiting in the middle. Knocks it away. He’s gone for it. A real chance and a real let off. There is some activity down on the touch line. It seems there’s got to be a change. played towards the front then. Played back in. Well played. He saw that coming. Keeper sends it forward. And it’s played forward. Ded in. He’s left his pop. Should have put that one away. Well, that ought to have wrapped it up, Peter. He may well regret that, you know. Forward. It goes. Plays it out to the flank. Ball’s loose. Who’s getting there? Five minutes left on the clock. Played out to the right. That looks a good ball. Good take by the keeper. He’s read that well. Not much subtlety. He’s launched himself there. There are a few waiting for it. played in with accuracy. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Hoist it high. Cleared away. Looking to hit the front line. attempts to play it through. It’s a loose ball. I have to say that was an exemplary tackle. Stopped him dead in his tracks. Sport official showing that there will be three minutes of added time. tings it out wide. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. tries to get it forward quickly. And that’s a throw. There’s going to be another change here. Yeah, it was 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. hoists it forward. Referee looks at his watch and blows his whistle. What a match. What a comeback. That is how to respond. That’s got things underway. Well, the ball’s come loose and the chase is on. Whistle’s gone. That’s a foul. Referee has resisted the temptation to go to his pocket. It’s just a stern lecture. He’s dealt with that well. It’s a He’s gone for it. Goal! There is the breakthrough. Lovely goal. Perfect poise to set himself for the strike. 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. plays it out to the flank. Hit into the middle. Goalkeeper’s ball. And that is as far as they’re going to go. gets good distance on it. Well, the defense got the better of him this time, but I’m sure he’ll go again. Just brushed off the ball there. It’s on a plate. He’s had a go. A real chance and a real let off. He trapped it expertly, Peter, and released it very differently. tries to get it forward quickly. That looks a foul. Yeah, referee’s given it. It’s not taken him long. And that’s going to be a booking. Heat. Heat. Well, that’s where he wants it. Doesn’t get the pass he’s looking for. Heat. Heat. keeps everyone guessing. He’s making good use of his strength there. Just refuses to be out muscled. There has been just the early goal here and the score is one0. And here’s the chance to counter. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Nicely controlled. Goes for the cross. gets on the end of it. Plays a clever pass and he’s there to cut it out. Well, that had to be more accurate. with a delicate ball. Well positioned to make that interception. Tried to play it through. Well, Peter, his body shape was a giveaway before he made the pass and its obviousness was was appreciated. a really good feet. Great strength. too strong for his opponent. Chance to break. More than happy to take the muscular approach. Hoist it forward. Finds himself eased off the ball. And it’s played forward. Forward it goes. Forward it goes. Defending of the desperate variety. drives it towards the front. He’s gone out for a throw in. crosses it and through to the goalkeeper, hoist it forward, 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. The ball needed to be better there. That’s a wasted chance. Shoots. And that wasn’t far away. Look, I’m sure he’ll deny it, Peter, but the keeper didn’t have that covered. Hoist it forward. Lovely feet. That’s one way of trying to make things happen. There’s a few who could follow that example. Well, that’s a foul. Free kick’s been given. Good ball. It’s found its target. Away from immediate danger. Oh, that’s clearly not what he wanted to do. and the counter is on. A super tackle. They were outnumbered and under the kosh. That had to be spot on and it was. Can’t get the better of his opposite number. He is not one readily to admit defeat. Don’t be surprised if he tries that again. Cuts it out. Oh, really good feet from it. Goes for goal and he’s there to make a great save. Well, what can I say? Truly wonderful goalkeeping. Knocks it away. Now the counter. Gets the better of his man. Gorgeous control there.

And again they run up against stubborn defending. Played out to the right. Oh, that’s a foul and the whistle’s gone. He knew what was coming. That’s a yellow card. The protest continues, but in the end they are defending the indefensible. towering header. He’s done well to get his head on that but couldn’t score. Well, being able to generate that amount of activity in the box means it’s hard not to pick someone out. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. Whipped it and a header. Oh, just needed a better contact. Now that was a slick move and there were several options in the box to uh to pick out Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Tries to get it forward quickly. Well played. He saw that coming. Oh, that is lovely footwork. Great leap. Decent attempt, but not quite good enough. The defense did very well to be able to close him down in numbers like that. They basically suffocated his hopes. Oh no, that’s not the ball he wanted. Hoist it forward and the through ball is intercepted. Lovely bit of skill there. Time to deliver. Over to the left. Out to the left it goes. Good take by the keeper. He’s read that well. Has he found his man? Done very well to intervene. 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. And he’s on a charge. Can he deliver? plays it out to the wing. A reprieve, albeit perhaps momentary. And the halime whistle goes. So there you have it. A close fourth half of football, but that still had its moments. It ultimately produced just one goal. Decent day. 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 the action is back under way. Well, it’s been tight, Peter, but I’m expecting things to to open up now and we get some free fluent football. tries to get it forward quickly. It’s a long pass but not the most accurate. And it’s got through. Beautifully done. There are a few waiting for it. Good take. And he’s had a look forward pass. That’s alert and sharp and very well played. Chance to shoot. delivers a cross and it’s played forward. Pumps it in. Massive leap. Oh, just couldn’t turn it in. I have to commend the wing play, but I have to condemn the defending. They’ve got to stop the cross. Out to the left it goes. Oh, what a hits one. Shai. The outcome could so easily have been different. That’s a little unfortunate. He had a lot of people worried then. Heat. Heat. Forward it goes. Well, there’s something you don’t see every day. Hoist it forward. And that has put paid to that and it’s played forward. Yeah, it looks like a change of approach and it may just freshen things up. Tries to get it forward quickly. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. been still separated by the game’s only goal. So, who’s he picking out? tries to pick out a teammate. No messing about. Just bludgeoned away. Played into the middle out to the right. Looking for space out wide. goes long. He’s got options out wide. Yeah, he’s failed him there. almost an hour gone. So Jim, what are you thinking? I think the manager is pondering his options as to whether to stick or twist Peter in view of of the time remaining. He might have a a tough call to make now. It speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Best left there. That is terrific skill. He has it out wide now. Looking for a decent ball in. Hoist it forward. Gets it back. tries to locate someone up front. Knocks it away. Referee’s given a throw. And that’s been leave it clear. A chance to play it in. steered in. Cut out in the nick of time forward. It goes. It’s found it. Goes for goal. Good stop. That wasn’t easy. Well, as tests go, Peter, the keeper has just received an A+ grade. He’s played it short and he’s there to clear it and it’s played forward and the weighted pass. Good ball over the top and he’s there to hoop it away. That’s a throw. He can get that clear. Tries to get it forward quickly. A long ball, but not especially accurate. Well, it’s good stuff. This is better. Well, this isn’t the time to talk about risks now, Jim, is it? They just have to hurl everything at it and hope for a break. Just has to be done. Oh, that’s nice. Has a goal. See it out of harm’s way. 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. Battles to win it back. Played towards the front men. looks to bypass the midfield and that has been cleared. Nothing wrong with that tackle. Ball one cleanly. hoist it forward. Tries lifting it over and that’ll go straight through to the keeper. 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. Plenty waiting in the middle. This is good ball retention and it should be enough from here, but they want to double their advantage. Gets into a dangerous position. played out to the right and he’s got the ball glued to his feet. A chance to play it in. Foul and a free kick in a very dangerous area. And he has shown him a yellow card. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they? And it’s played forward and he’s going long. Has a pop. Oh, and that should have been two. He got too ahead of himself there thinking how he could have made things safe. tries to get it clear. Forward it goes. keep calm and carry on. That’s the job in a nutshell. Now tries to get it forward quickly. Hoist it forward. Going for goal. And that could come back to haunt them. Well, the lead may be fragile, but the keeper was focused and strong. And that’s been levered clear. Peter, they have to fight the onset of desperation and keep enough cool heads to still deliver. And it’s played forward. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. Peter, they have to fight the onset of desperation and keep enough cool heads to still deliver. He gets past his man. Hefty challenge, but fair enough. This is good ball retention and it should be enough from here, but they want to double their advantage. into the last five minutes. Just a few more moments for them to hang on. Nice touch. Delivers the ball. I think it’s time for them to concentrate on closing this one out. looking to hit the front line. Oh, good interception. Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there. Oh, that just required a bit more oomph to reach its target. Kings it out wide. Yeah, it’s safe to say that they just need to manage this to secure the win now. And the shot. No mistake. A two goal cushion and it’s looking safe. It is a good finish. The odds were against him. Little matter. Oh, this fell as slippery as a kneel the way he freed himself to score. I mean, for that defense, it was a case of now you’ve got him, now you don’t. Brilliant. Two up and very little time left. Surely this is it. Well, some fans are already on their way out, so that to me says everything, Peter. And they’re not going to make any further progress now. Confirmation that there will be two minutes stoppage time. Hoist it forward. Goalkeeper’s ball. plays it out to the flank and now the breakaway. It’s a fine run and he’s happy to keep going. Can he deliver? So that’s it. It is all over. A decent win via a very competent performance. Without doubt they were the better side and the result reflected. That’s got things underway. Lovely bit of skill there. Heads it. He’s done well to get his head on that but couldn’t score. I have to commend the wing play but I have to condemn the defending. They’ve got to stop the cross. finds himself eased off the ball. Tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, good interception. Beautiful. Ball driven towards the far post. Well, that’s where he wants it. Surely a shot goes for goal. Oh, denied brilliantly. Well, as Tesco go, Peter, the keeper has just received an A+ grade. towering header. Oh, nearly. But nearly is nothing. A more than decent attempt, Peter. hoist it forward. Slightly better ball would have led to a very different outcome there. Ah, quality deserted them when they really needed it. plays it out to the flank. Turns and goes back. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. Well, that’s a foul. Free kicks been given. Anything noteworthy in the early part of the match, Jim? 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. And he has been fouled there. He’s had a look now. Can he finish? Holds himself at it. Great effort. He flew in with courage. A good attempt. The ball was at a a lovely height, too. Well positioned to make that interception. Good defending there. They’ve slammed the door in the faces of the opposition. Can’t get the better of his opposite number. Played out to the right. Oh, that is lovely footwork. Has he found his man? The ball needed to be better there. That’s a wasted chance. Still goalless at the moment. Time to deliver. Defending of the desperate variety. gets it back. That’s clearcut. It’s a free kick. gets it and has a pop. It’s in. Well, that always look the likely outcome. I just think it’s clever positioning from clever movement and when all of that is synchronized with the right pass, that’s what happens. Heat. Heat. Deadlock broken. It’s 1 N. And that ought to be the trigger for a really exciting and entertaining game from here on. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. Has gone out forward. It goes cleared away. gets into a dangerous position. Done very well to intervene. Tries to locate someone up front. Hardly anything between the sides and the score is 1 n and now the breakaway and it’s played forward. He’s managed to get that all wrong. out to the right. 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, this poses the defense a few tricky questions and the answers have to be hard and fast. Great run this. He’s covered quite a distance. 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. Oh, he’s going to be pulled back for that one. And he’s going long. Massive leap. It’s there. They are right back in business. An absolute gem of a cross. It made the header simple. Well, as contact goes, that was tremendous and it helped him to direct it exactly where he wanted into that net. I think when it comes to the aerial department, this fell is definitely no slouch. That has certainly made things interesting. Oh, I think the coach will really be annoyed with that. The players were still thinking about their goal and just got caught napping. And he’s cut it out. Played towards the front. Well, that’s where he wants it. So, midway through the first half and it is a tight old tie. That’s a good block but at the expense of a corner. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. Good defending, albeit 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. And he just whacks it away. Hoist it forward. He’s off on a marauding run and oh back of the net and the comeback is complete. That’s no fluke. It’s what he was there for. Well, as they say, Peter, if you don’t speculate, you won’t accumulate. And we’ve just witnessed a player who was rewarded for his willingness to take a risk, as cunning as it comes. This is so we have a breakthrough now. How will things develop from here? No doubt as to who has the momentum here now. The only doubt is how many is coming. Oh, it’s a searing run. He is a man on a mission. Play for a throw. Chooses to go back. knocks it away. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Forward it goes. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Approaching Halime and still behind. Can they make something happen now? Whistle’s gone. That’s a foul. Well, I think the alternative was to stand there and and do nothing while he he tried to score. And obviously, he’s not going to allow that, Peter, is he just a talking to, I think. Yes, it is. He’s gone for the shots. It’s found its way to him. Plays it back. Loses his balance and loses the ball. chance. He’s scored. It’s level again. What a match we have. Ah, he was never going to miss from there. Well, for me, that’s just pure predatory brilliance. It’s not so much the finish, but the way he read the situation when nobody else was even alert to it. It’s fantastic. Heat. Heat. This is quite a battle. Well, I think the players will be boyed by the fact that they’ve managed to level things in a hurry. Tails most definitely up now. And the finish goal. They’ve done it. It was coming. They have their reward. 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. Well, this is what we’ve been waiting for. Well, it’s been a an absolutely fabulous spell for them and they’re starting to look unstoppable. There could be more on the way. tries to get it forward quickly and he’s there to clear it. A really good feet. played back in. Just brushed off the ball there. could move up a gear here and it’s played forward. Looks to bypass the midfield. It’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. Confirmation that there will be two minutes stoppage time. played out to the right. He’s got options out wide. It’s a loose ball. Ball’s loose and he’s after it. That’ll be the last act of the first half. Well, what a comeback. Certainly, I didn’t see that coming or I think with many in this crowd. The midway point of the game. Well, give me a moment to get my breath back. Uh what a super half of football. Instant 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. Oh, time to catch your breath after a manic first half. Goals, goals, and more goals, but only one between them. Already up and running for the second half. There will be a throw in. tries to get it forward quickly. For a moment, you felt that was going somewhere, but they’ll have to go again. goes direct to the front line and he just whacks it away. Hoist it forward. Forward it goes. Hey. played in with accuracy and helps available out wide. and shoots. He And the defense can get it clear. Turns and goes back, shoots. That’s a half decent try. Good effort. Very good effort. He would have at least wanted to make the keeper work though. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. That’s not going far. That’s been drilled forward. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. Beautifully done with a delicate ball and he’s there to clear it. He’s played it short. Crosses it in. And it’s hoisted clear. Looking cross field. Changing the point of attack. Ball is over the line. Plays it out to the flank. Nicely controlled. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Out to the right. Looking for a decent ball in. Gorgeous control there. Just about up to the hour now. Oh, well defended. That had to be done. Tries to get it forward quickly. Whipped in. Hoist it forward. Drives it towards the front. doesn’t get the pass he’s looking for. That’s surely a foul. Free kick. Well, it’s good stuff. This is better. Well, this isn’t the time to talk about risks now, Jim, is it? They just have to hurl everything at it and hope for a break. Spot on, Peter. Well played. He saw that coming. looks to thread it through. That is terrific skill and that has been cleared. And it’s played forward. Keeper’s ball. And back to base. up towards the front line. plays it out to the wing. That’s gone a long way up and away. And he’s going long. He’s got options out wide. looking to hit the front line. Cuts it out forward. It goes. Battles to win it back. Tries to get it forward quickly. He’s left his man. aimed in towards the center. Tries to locate someone up front. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. Good challenge. He just stood firm. delivers the ball. Tulong and over the line. Hoist it forward. Lovely bit of skill. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they? Up towards the front line. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. balls out on the left now. This is good ball retention and it should be enough from here, but they want to double their advantage. And it’s played forward. Peter, they have to fight the onset of desperation and keep enough cool heads to still deliver. He’s gone for it. Oh, just lacked a decent finish. Well, he did get himself into a good position. Something for him to cling to. Final checks on the touch line. A change about to occur. Has it out wide now. Lovely feet. A chance to play it in. tries a shot. Cleared away. That’s a throw. He’s got the ball glued to his feet. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they more than happy to take the muscular approach? This is good ball retention and it should be enough from here, but they want to double their advantage. receives it from behind. Hit into the middle. Knocks it away. Keep calm and carry on. That’s the job in a nutshell. Now, forward it goes. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. tries to get it forward quickly. Gets it back. That a foul? Yes, the referee’s given it. Peter, they have to fight the onset of desperation and keep enough cool heads to still deliver. Looks to bypass the midfield. It is just a question of running down the clock now. A heavy challenge. That’s a throw. tries the cross. Yeah, it’s safe to say that they just need to manage this to secure the win. Now just brushed off the ball there. looks to clip it forward and he’s on side. Shapes to shoot and the floor up and in. It goes a two goal cushion and it’s looking safe. 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. Super Two up and very little time left. Surely this is it. Yeah, looks very much like the final nail in the coffin for me, I have to say. hoists it high. He’s going after it. So who and they’ve been caught out here. goes direct to the front line. Decent looking ball and that’s been well dealt with. Oh, well into And that’s out. What a match. What a comeback. That is how to respond to adversity. Well, we’re underway. That’s pretty clear. It is a foul. The ref’s been lenient here. I doubt he’ll get too many more chances. has a pop. Good movement there, but not the best of finishes. Well, plenty of moving targets to pick out in the box. Obviously increases the chances of the ball being met like that by someone. Ah, it’s a fine challenge and it goes his way. He’s got options out wide. Oh, that’s nice. with a delicate ball and the defense can get it clear. Tries to get it forward quickly. And that’s been lever clear. And that’s been won straight back. Hoist it forward. Oh, well defended. That had to be done. Yeah, he’s failed him there. He’s gone for it. Oh, that’s amazing. A still a strike from the skipper. Well, from our impartial perch, you couldn’t ask for a more spectacular start to a game. And with the skipper responsible, too, it just lends the moment a bit more oomph. And let’s hope it carries on in a similar vein. Oh, that is a bit special. Deadlock broken. It’s one N. Well, just listen to the reaction. I think you can hear the approval from the support all around the stadium. A buccaneering run from the defender. hits one. Oh, that is an awful miss. Well, that’s why we all say indecision is fatal. Lovely feet. Oh, it’s a searing run. He is a man on a mission. gets it back. Well, the defense got the better of him this time, but I’m sure he’ll go again. Battles to win it back. Forward. It goes and the counter is on. has gone out. gets into a dangerous position. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. Good challenge. He just stood firm. There has been just the early goal here and the score is one0. 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 making good use of his strength there. Just refuses to be out muscled. He’s gone for it. It’s in a two goal cushion and it’s looking safe. That’s no fluke. It’s what he was there for. 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. things starting to look very comfortable. 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. And it’s played forward. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. It’s the early days, but the difference in fortune is very clear. First quarter of an hour gone. lobs it in gently. The clearance is short. Tried to play it through. H was too timid to make it through the defense. It’ll be noted and and improved upon, I’m sure. Just brushed off the ball there. It’s being played forward. Well, that’s where he wants it. Cleared without complication. Referee’s given a throw. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities forward. It goes. That’s just very well played. He can hurt you with his back to goal and he didn’t go for the back heel. has a goal. And more and more and more and they are cruising away. Well, 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. No doubt as to who has the momentum here now. The only doubt is how many is coming. Drives it towards the front. He goes long. Played into space out wide. Has he picked him out? Oh, that is asking for trouble. And the finish. And with the goal at his mercy, a dreadful miss. Oh, I’m not sure what he had in mind. And I don’t think he knew either. And they win it back again. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. Looking to hit the front line. plays it long. Chance to squeeze it through. No, not quite. hit into the middle and he flies. Got the hard part right, got the rest wrong. Oh, look, I don’t want to sound too dismissive, but from here that looked a harder thing to do. hoist it forward. Good idea. Just poorly executed. Tries to stroke it through. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. up towards the front line. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. That has put a stop to that. keeps everyone guessing, loses his balance and loses the ball. Well, the crowd clearly like what they just saw. Some real nononsense defending. He’s goes for goal and yes, it’s there. Result no longer in doubt. It’s just about how many. Just so calm under pressure. I think that defense there thought they were in good position and they had him where they wanted. Yet somehow he’s right the scoring position when it didn’t see him on. It’s really crafty business that he’s made it through. Quite a day at the office for him. Well, he’s been the outstanding player on the pitch and devastating in front of goal. What a display. What a player. It’s become a case of men against boys. Well, unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned. I’m not sure they can gather themselves. Some good work on the right flank. Now, what’s next? Some excellent tackling here and that one a perfect example. Ties lifting it over. Finds himself eased off the ball. Chance to break. Has he found his man? Well positioned to make that interception. 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. puts in a cross and he’s there to cut it out. I wouldn’t fancy playing up front in these circumstances. To be honest, there’s absolutely no supply. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. Plays it out to the flank. Played back in. A reprieve albeit perhaps momentary. Knocks it away. Can he deliver? played out to the right. He’s got the ball glued to his feet. Shapes to shoot. played in with accuracy. That’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. Chipped through. It’s found its way to him. out to the right. Gorgeous control there. goes direct to the front line. That’s a throw. Time added on will be two minutes. He’s got away. This could fall anywhere. Tries to get it forward quickly. Played out to the right. It’s always going to be the keepers. And it’s Halime here. Well, that flew by. It was breathless stuff. It’s been one-way traffic here after the first 45 minutes. A relentless barrage, but looks set to continue. Yeah, I think the first half performance that showed attack being the best form of defense. If they’re in the face of the opposition that much, then there’s little they can do in return. And I’m I’m not sure how long they can keep the intensity and the tempo up, but it certainly paid off so far. And we’re underway again. And out to safety. Did well to step in there. That was more than necessary. tries to get it forward quickly. He’s got through. He’s in. He’s gone for it. He’s scored. And again they pile on the misery. Well, I think we’ve gone past humiliation now. This could be doing some real psychological damage. Four in the game. He is the man. Things looking so easy, almost too easy here. And no, that is pretty much the end of that. That’s been drilled forward. The ball needed to be better there. That’s a wasted chance. Well, that’s where he wants it. Gets it back. hoist it forward and that’s been levered clear and they’re not going to make any further progress now. Ball swung in. Goalkeeper’s ball. Tries to locate someone up front. Cleared away. Gets it back. And again they run up against stubborn defending. Keeper sends it forward. And it’s got through. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Gets his head to it. No, he can’t turn it in. Good spell of possession this but very little to show for it. Looks to bypass the midfield. 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 and he’s going long. Tries to get it clear. Here’s the cross. Going for goal in for the followup. And it’s played forward. Out to the left. It goes forward. It goes gets wrestled off the ball. Well, no doubt someone is being given special treatment here. Well, better late than never, Peter. Although it may not apply in this case um after a hattick. So, who’s he picking out? Delivers a cross. It’s a brilliant interception. Ball’s out on the left now. Here’s the ball in and that’s been levered clear. Tries to get it forward quickly. Well, they can break here. Hoist it forward. Well, the moans and groans from the stands now are very audible. to locate someone up front. And that’ll go straight through to the keeper and it’s played forward. No, it’s not getting there. Quick pull forward. Now, the less said about that pass, the better. hoist it forward. 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. And now they can launch a counter. Here’s the through ball and through to the goalkeeper. Forward it goes. Dashing forward at pace. Tries to get it forward quickly. Gets into a dangerous position. Keeper’s ball. Forward it goes and he just whacks it away. Now he’s going to be pulled back for that one. He knew what was coming. That’s a yellow card. Well, he caught that pure, but no end product. Heat. Heat. It’s a great gallop down the right hand side. Cleared away. Hoist it forward. And it’s played forward. Cuts it out. Has he found his man? Just about up to 75 minutes. tries to get it forward quickly. For a moment you felt that was going somewhere, but they’ll have to go again and that’s spread out wide. Whipped in. Knocks it away. There’s going to be another change here. That’s it into the middle. Hits it first time. Oh, it’s die hard defense and the willingness to put his body on the line. Very impressive. Battles to win it back. done very well to intervene. He’s pinged one through here. He’s got hits one. No, that’s just wide. Well, he did get himself into a good position. Something for him to cling to. Forward. It goes. Oh, good interception. A forward pass. A nice touch. Time to deliver. now. A chance to break. Plays it out to the wing. Well played. He saw that coming. That’s a throw. A really good feet. looking to hit the front line. Good challenge. She just stood firm. Five minutes left on the clock. Hoist it forward. Goes direct to the front line. He spotted the run and played him through. Oh, shooting chance. He has done it. Well, just another one to add to what has already been an incredible hall. It’s part of the game, Peter. It has to get ruthless. Sympathy just doesn’t play a part. Heat. Heat. Well, that’s where he wants it. Done very well to intervene. Beautifully done. Good run ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending. Crowd appreciates good football all around there. Well, the crowd aren’t happy. They wanted a shot and it didn’t arrive. Added time is up. And there goes the whistle. Demolition, destruction, annihilation. There’s the whistle. over to the left. Sticks in a foot to win it back. Now a chance to break. tries to stroke it through. He’s had a look. Shapes to shoot. Oh, that was nice, but not quite the end product required. Well, I think they can breathe a massive sigh of relief then. Such a let off. Lovely feet. And he’s there to hoop it away. A reprieve albeit perhaps momentary. Oh, that’s nice. Out to the right. That is terrific skill. He’s tried one forward. It goes gets wrestled off the ball. tries to get it forward quickly. Tries to get it clear. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. He’s put it on the right now. What’s on great lead? There it is. There is the breakthrough. Oh, lovely header, but really it was all about the delivery. Well, as contact goes, that was tremendous and it helped him to direct it exactly where he wanted into that net. I think when it comes to the aerial department, this fell is definitely no slouch. Deadlock broken. It’s one0. Well, just listen to the reaction. I think you can hear the approval from the support all around the stadium. Just brushed off the ball there. Lovely bit of skill. He’s making good use of his strength there. Just refuses to be out muscled. Keeps everyone guessing. shooting chance. A real chance and a real let off. There has been just the early goal here and it’s one0. Beautifully done. It’s being played forward. Gets it back. All the way back. And they start again. He’s making a real surge on the left. Pumps it into the area and it’s played forward. Gets into a dangerous position. Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there. Peter, his body shape was a giveaway before he made the pass. and its obviousness was was appreciated. Kings it out wide. A really good feet. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. The defense got the better of him this time, but I’m sure he’ll go again. Well, the crowd aren’t happy. They wanted a shot and it didn’t arrive. Hey, hey, struck a goal. He scores a two goal cushion and it’s looking safe. His position was perfect. The invitation was there for him and his response absolutely clinical. Ah Peter, that was just a defensive act of generosity that was always going to uh have a painful ending. 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. He goes along. Hits one. They’ve played it short. There are a few waiting for it. He wasn’t very far from making something happen by himself. Lovely to see. Big chance. Oh, taken with style. Just one in now. The game takes on a whole new complexion. The understanding between those two plays a big part in that and releasing the run on side proved the key ingredient. This is threatening to become a really good game. Well, it was important they didn’t get ahead of themselves and lose their discipline. This game plan could near well reward them with an equalizer. He could be. There’s a pop. It’s in. Well, when the game is played like that, it’s made to look very simple. You know, I love watching football like this. Easy, effective, one, two, and bang. Thanks very much. So the lead now is two. Look, this position ought to convince them to increase their lead. I think they should uh be really positive about this now. Peter hoist it forward. Defending of the desperate variety. Hit into the middle. gets it back. Good spell of possession this, but very little to show for it. Well, that’s where he wants it. Forward it goes. He’s put a stop to that. Ball needed to be better there. That’s a wasted chance. Out of play for a goal kick. And it’s played forward. Nicely controlled. Great run on the overlap here. Puts it into the middle. Cut out in the nick of time. Tries to get it forward quickly. He’s still going. Where to next? So, who’s he picking out? Plays it out to the flank. And he’s got the ball glued to his feet. Played out to the right. Played into the middle. And that’s been levered clear. How about a shot? He’s had a shot. And more and more and more. And they are pulling clear here. And that is about as cool as they come. He picked his spot expertly. Well, I think two keepers would have had a hard time keeping that one out, never mind one. There was real venom in the strike and and clear composure from the placement. So now the difference is three. Well, unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned. I’m not sure they can gather themselves. tries to dink it in. Could try cutting inside here. Can he deliver? There’s the shot. And the follow up. Just couldn’t stay down for him. Oh no, that’s not the ball he wanted. tries to locate someone up front. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. It’s a loose ball. Strong challenge, but well within the laws. And it’s played forward. Well positioned to make that interception forward. It goes And that is as far as they’re going to go. Deathly done. Oh, what a ball. Here goes goal. No mistake. Surely now they are well and truly out of sight. Yeah, 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. He’s made it through. Quite a day at the office for him. That defense must be sick at the sight of him. He’s been persistent and ruthless all game. He just hasn’t stopped working. Things looking so easy, almost too easy here. Well, it’s been a an absolutely fabulous spell for them and they’re starting to look unstoppable. There could be more on the way. can’t get the better of his opposite number. Good defending, albeit 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. and it’s been taken short. He’s gone for it. Away from immediate danger. Oh, it’s die hard defense and the willingness to put his body on the line. Very impressive. tries to get it forward quickly. Gorgeous control there. Two minutes to be added on. And they and the shots. Oh yes, it’s there. Well, just another one to add to what has already been an incredible hold. It’s part of the game, Peter. It has to get ruthless. Sympathy just doesn’t play a part. It’s become a case of men against boards. boys. 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. Chance to Oh, shooting chance. And he’s there to hoof it away. Good take. And he’s had a look. That is going to be the final action of the first half. Well, that flew by. It was breathless stuff. There’s been oneway traffic here after the first 45 minutes. A relentless barrage that looks set to continue. Well, I would think this one is possibly over as a contest. They know they’ve already reached cruise control and it’s a case of the right game management to take it from here. The game has already resumed here. Looking to hit the front line. Has he found his man? Can he find a finish now? Well, the crowd clearly like what they just saw. Some real nononsense defending. hoist it forward. Oh, good interception. And it’s played forward and it’s hoisted clear. Could move up a gear here. Good idea, just poorly executed. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Plays it out to the flank. Oh, that’s neat. Yeah, it looks like a change of approach and it may just freshen things up. It’s a good looking has a pop. No, it’s wide. All he’ll be thinking is please ground swallow me up. battles to win it back. This defense just doesn’t trust itself to to play a higher line. Frighten the people getting in behind. Yeah, absolutely. It just opens up the opportunity of not only strikers getting behind but the runners from midfield, too. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Pinged forward and now the breakaway. Whistle’s gone. That’s a foul. defense has got rid of that. More than happy to take the muscular approach. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. looks to bypass the midfield out to the right. Whipped in. Well, read. He’s sorted that out. Up towards the front line. That’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. Forward it goes. Knocks it away. Looking to break out here. Gets it up field. finds himself eased off the ball. Played in with accuracy. Done very well to intervene. plays it out to the flank. Steered out wide, but he won’t reach that one. Tries to get it forward quickly. That’s one way of trying to make things happen. There’s a few who could follow that example. Well, needless to say, he was expecting a better ball than that. Forward it goes. And that has been cleared. Oh, the ball’s come loose and the tries a shot. Hoist it forward and it’s hoisted clear. Talk about singling someone out. Well, it’s about time, isn’t it? Only after he’s uh just notched a third. Good challenge. He just stood firm and it’s played forward. That’s a foul. Free kick’s been given. Just a talking to I think. Yes, it is. They’ve managed to get it away. Just brushed off the ball there. Ball’s loose. Who’s getting there? He’s had that. Has a hit. Oh, sweet feet. drives it towards the front. hoist it forward. He’s ruffled a few feathers, but well dealt with. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. Forward it goes. Goes direct to the front line. That’ll be a throw in. There is some activity down on the touch line. It seems there’s going to be a change. tries to get it forward quickly. It’s a good run down the left hand side. Chooses to go back. Gets a good foot in there. He’s left his man. And the finish. Oh, there was plenty on that. I think he deserves credit for for getting something away given that he had to contend with a a double dose of closing down. There’s going to be another change here. Substitution. And it’s played forward. And that’s been levered clear. And that’s spread out wide. up to meet it. Decent chance. That is a fine delivery. Do I really need to tell you, Peter, that he has to do better? Especially from there. balls out on the left now. gets good distance on it and it’s got through. Well played.

Demolition, destruction, annihilation. So off we go then. He’s had that put on the plate. Hoist it forward. Well, that’s where he wants it. Oh, what a ball. This is gone. That’s a foul. Well, I think the alternative was to stand there and and do nothing while he he tried to score. And obviously, he’s not going to allow that, Peter, is he? The ref’s been lenient here. I doubt he’ll get too many more chances. Going for goal. It’s their first effort on goal. Defending of the desperate variety. That’ll be a throw in. Lovely feet. a chance. Oh, he’s got a crucial block in there and he’s there to hoof it away. Throw in. Well, that’s not going to go down too well with his teammates. Kings it out wide. Oh, good shapes to shoot. A collective sigh of relief from the defense. Well, I think the opposition was pretty sloppy in creating a problem for themselves then, but he was on to it so quickly and very nearly made them pay. last ditch defending, but that’ll do. It’s a brilliant interception. And out to safety. Truthfully, it was hard to see any better outcome there. Tries to get it forward quickly and it’s played forward. tries to dink it in. Oh, well defended. That had to be done. Forward it goes. played into space out wide. Oh, that’s neat. Time to deliver. Goes for goal. There it is. The keeper deserves some sympathy there. He may not have seen that until too late. Heat. Heat. Deadlock broken. It’s one N. Well, just listen to the reaction. I think you can hear the approval from the support all around the stadium. Great run on the overlap here. Hit into the middle. Plays it out to the flank. Defender’s on the back foot. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. out towards the flank. Played into the middle. Tries to get it clear. Could be a chance here. Going for goal. as he found his man. Cuts it out. Hardly anything between the sides and the score is 1-0. Well, the defense got the better of him this time, but I’m sure he’ll go again. Tries to get it forward quickly. No, that’s not the ball he wanted. Hoist it forward. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Pinged forward. Well positioned to make that interception. Gets it back. Tries to locate someone up front. That’s a promising ball. It’s another to add to football’s endless list of could haves and should haves. Ah, quality deserted them when they really needed it. He wasn’t very far from making something happen by himself. Lovely to see. gets it and a shot. Good stop. That wasn’t easy. Oh, that’s a sparkling save. Absolutely sparkling. His reflexes were ultra sharp. knocks it away. That had to be more accurate. Cut out in the nick of time. Gorgeous control there. Can he deliver? And he’s there to cut it out. Goes direct to the front line. And it’s played forward. Well, that’s where he wants it.

He’s had a crack. A really good feet. lobs it in gently. It’s a goal kick and it’s played forward. Nicely controlled. Has a hit. Sticks it away. And this is getting better and better. Heat. Heat.

Crowd appreciates good football all around there. Gets into a dangerous position. Can’t get the better of his opposite number. Forward it goes. Time and again they are repelled. Cleared away. and he’s on a charge. It’s being played forward. A long ball, but not especially accurate. Played out to the right. Played back in. Out to the right. Oh, that’s nice. plays it in up for the header. 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. hoists it forward. Lovely bit of skill. So, who’s he picking out? Plays it back. He’s in. Has a pop. This could fall anywhere. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. This could spell danger. 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 and helps available out wide. A chance to play it in. Keeps everyone guessing. That’s a foul. Simple decision for the referee. Plays it out to the flank. What an adventurous run from a defender. Has a hit. Gets good distance on it. He’s played it short and he just whacks it away. 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. Battles to win it back. Played out to the right. And that’s been levered clear. Two minutes to be added on. Plays it out to the wing. Lovely bit of skill there. There are a few waiting for it. Crosses it in and it’s played forward. That’ll be the final action of the first half. Reviews on the first half. Well, it’s looking pretty straightforward, Peter. They’ve got themselves into a very good position. So why dither from here 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. The action has already resumed here. Just brushed off the ball there. He gets past his man. up towards the front line. Well, that’s where he wants it. That is terrific skill. Tries to get it forward quickly. Good challenge. He just stood firm. He’s got the ball glued to his feet out to the right. Plenty of appeals, but the referee is not interested. He is not one readily to admit defeat. Don’t be surprised if he tries that again. Well, you could see he was eager to get a shot away, but there was too much flesh and bone in his path. Hoist it forward. Defending was strong and firm. He could be in here. So goal and more and more and more. And the lead is extended still further. Oh, beautifully dispatched. There was no reaching that. Now that’s what I call finishing. Right in the corner. He knew instinctively who was where and didn’t need to waste any time weighing things up. That’s a cracking goal. His second of the game and an eye now for the hattick. Three without reply. This is becoming a stroll. Let’s put a stop to that. back into the middle. Some good play on the left hand side now to towering header. Oh, he put himself into a great position. Gets wrestled off the ball. 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. Played back in. That’s gone a long way up and away. 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. Good ball now. Can he capitalize? Oh, that’s a fine challenge. played towards the front men and it’s played forward. Gets it back and the counter is on. And it’s got through forward. It goes forward. It goes. Hoist it forward. Gets into a dangerous position. Was a move that looked promising but eventually thwarted without doing any harm. And it’s played forward. tries to get it forward quickly and that’s been won straight back. Hoist it forward. Well, they can break here. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Promising move that. Good inroads into enemy territory, but no joy. Oh, that is lovely footwork. Breaks on here. He’s got away. That’s good defending. Very good defending. Well, the crowd clearly like what they just saw. Some real nononsense defending. He ran himself into trouble there. Free kick given away and he has shown him a yellow card. Well, no doubt someone is being given special treatment here. Yeah, Peter, and it looks like this defense will go tooth and nail to prevent him from um from getting another Well, the moans and groans from the stands now are very audible. It’s a decent ball. Defense has got rid of that. And it’s played forward and it’s hoisted clear. Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there.

An absolute joy. Comfort. Yet more comfort. Easing away. Dispatched expertly. Nicely done. Things looking so easy. Almost too easy here. Well, that’s where he wants it. steered forward. Shooting chance. It’s in. And still they continue with the onslaught. Well, I wasn’t expecting them to go this big, Peter, but they have been superb. He’s made it three. Quite a day at the office for him. That defense must be sick of the sight of him. He’s been persistent and ruthless all game. He just hasn’t stopped working. It’s become a case of men against boys. Well, unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned. I’m not sure they can gather themselves. Ball through. Needs to be good here. has a go. Oh, almost a six. Just wouldn’t be beaten there. Played in with accuracy. Out for a throw. more than happy to take the muscular approach. It’s got big chance. Georgia averted for now. He’s gone for a throw in. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. Beautifully done. No question. That’s a foul. Forward it goes. Battles to win it back. Pass needed to be better than that and he knows it. Into the channel. He’s got options out wide and he just whacks it away. Looking to break out here into the last five minutes. Played down the flank. Plays a clever pass and he’s straight offside. Nice touch. Good take by the keeper. He’s read that well. Quick pull forward. And that’s spread out wide. Goes for the cross. Timely intervention. Tries to get it forward quickly. Looks to thread it through. Hits one. And a second time he scores. Great reactions in front of goal. He just saw what was on. Well, as they say, Peter, if you don’t speculate, you won’t accumulate. And we’ve just witnessed a player who was rewarded for his willingness to take a risk, as cunning as it comes. Well, they have a goal, but it is surely too much to hope for a comeback. Ball’s out on the left now. Ball’s gone out of play. Oh, sweet feet. Just brushed off the ball there. So that’s it. It is all over. A great play for attacking football. The artists have painted their pretty pictures. Only one team in it after all the Jim. What are you thinking? I think it’s all about There’s the whistle. And here we go. plays it out to the flank. That’s one way of trying to make things happen. There’s a few who could follow that example. tries to get it forward quickly and that’s been levered clear. Oh, that’s nice. Looking for a decent ball in. battles to win it back. Hoist it forward. Gets into a dangerous position. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. And it’s played forward and he’s cut it out. tried to play it through. H was too timid to make it through the defense. It’ll be noted and and improved upon, I’m sure. Time to deliver. Good challenge.

Yes, it is. and the ball’s come out. goes for the in with a header. He’s delivered all right. He was really quick to react to the initial save and he has his reward. Well, as they say, Peter, if you don’t speculate, you won’t accumulate. And we just witnessed a player who was rewarded for his willingness to take a risk as cunning as it comes. Heat. Heat. Deadlock broken. It’s one0. Yeah, this is also a chance to see what happens to their level of concentration from here. Good running with the ball. Can they build on it? Hardly anything between the sides and it’s one n Hey, chance. It’s there. All too easy. They are in danger of disappearing out of sight. Well, he was never going to miss from there. Well, for me, that’s just pure predatory brilliance. It’s not so much the finish, but the way he read the situation when nobody else was even alert to it. That’s fantastic.

Forward checking back like that. Always appreciated by the crowd.

I have to commend the wing play, but I have to condemn the defending. They’ve got to stop the cross. Well position to make that interception. For a moment you felt that was going somewhere, but they’ll have to go again. Great run this. He’s covered quite a distance. That looks a good ball. Well, the moans and groans from the stands now are very audible. holds himself on it. And more and more and more and surely that settles it. 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 can catch a beat in the head. Well done, son. 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. And it’s played forward. It’s a fine run and he’s happy to keep going in towards the middle. Knocks it away. Ball swung in. hoist it forward. It’s a long pass, but not the most accurate now. Surely breaks on here. No, no way through there. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. Up towards the front line. Swung in towards the middle. Can he goes to finish? Then he’s got rid of that. Ah, that’s great defending to cover for the goalkeeper and just get something in the way. and it’s played forward forward. It goes, plays it out to the wing. deflected behind for a corner kick.

It’s just about how many speed of thought, efficiency of movement and certainty of outcome. That’s just a great finish, but it’s down to very clever movement.

It’s become a case of men against boys. tries to get it forward quickly. Cheddar cross here. No messing about. just bludging away. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Looks to dink one in. Here it comes. And he’s there to clear it. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. That’s not going to make it. hoist it forward. A long ball, but not especially accurate. Confirmation that there will be two minutes stoppage time. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. played in with accuracy. Tries to get it clear. And the first 45 minutes are up. Well, that flew by. It was breathless stuff. It’s been one-way traffic here after the first 45 minutes. A relentless barrage that looks set to continue. Yeah, I think the first half performance that showed attack being the best form of defense. If they’re in the face of the opposition that much, then there’s little they can do in return and I’m I’m not sure how long they can keep the intensity and the tempo up, but it’s certainly paid off so far. Well, we’re already into the second period. gets it back. Tries to switch the play. out to the right forward. It goes and they win it back again. Ball through. Needs to be good here. Well, that’s the first attempt, Peter, we’ve seen at one of those raking passes just to spread the play. tries to get it forward quickly. And that’s been levered clear. Chipped through.

Regardless of the outcome, it is good to see someone running at the defense like that. And the through ball is intercepted. and it’s played forward. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. And that’s the end of that. And it all started well enough. And he’s going long. Keeper’s ball. Almost an hour gone. Forward. It goes late towards the front then. Well, no doubt someone is being given special treatment here. Yeah, and they’d finally reacted, but they could have been more switched on before he he scored. He’s looked long this time. And it’s been taken short. And that has been clubbed away. It’ll be a throw in. He’s making good use of his strength there. Just refuses to be out muscled. He wasn’t very far from making something happen by himself. Lovely to see. Not a throw in. Here’s the cross. I wouldn’t fancy playing up front in these circumstances to be honest. There’s absolutely no supply. He’s gone for it. Pinged forward. Done very well to intervene. That’s put to a promising move. gorgeous control there. Well, the ball’s come loose and the chase is on. No complaints about that challenge. Robust but fair. He’s got away. Is there tries a shot? Oh, the ball’s come loose. He can get that clear. And it’s hoisted clear. Good idea, just poorly executed. Well, that’s where he wants it. Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there. The movement was good, but the pass lacked authority. Uh, a cause of mild frustration. Looks to bypass the midfield. Good challenge. He just stood firm. That’s a foul. Free kick’s been given. The ref’s been lenient here. I doubt he’ll get too many more chances. tries to get it forward quickly. Has he found his man? The ball needed to be better there. It’s a wasted chance.

Good run ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending. Crowd appreciates good football all around there. Played out to the right and he’s on side. Chance to break. Well, needless to say, he was expecting a better ball than that. And it’s played forward. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Forward it goes. Well, that looks a foul. Yeah, referee’s given it. Substitution. And he’s going direct. and they’re not going to make any further progress now. Hoist it forward. Cuts it out. Tries to get it forward quickly. And it’s played forward. Done very well to intervene. Just five minutes left. up towards the flank. The referee’s awarded a free kick. Well, that looks like a final warning. Still no card. Oh, it’s a beauty. Oh, it really is a finish of the highest order. And again, they pile on the misery. And he’s produced a beauty. Number six. Things looking so easy. Almost too easy here. Tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Forward. It goes. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers. A reprieve, albeit perhaps momentary. Pass needed to be better than that and he knows it. Hoist it forward. He’s had a go in. It goes. A 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. Well, it’s an inspired substitution. Terrific move by the boss. Well, the instruction from the manager would have been go on and make yourself a nuisance and see if you can snatch a goal. Mission accomplished. Well, they have a goal, but it is surely too much to hope for a comeback. Whistle’s gone. That’s a foul. gets on the end of it. Oh, well defended. That had to be done. Gets into a dangerous position. And that is that a demolition, destruction, annihilation. They simply ran away with it. So, we’re up and running. That looks a foul.

Oh, well intercepted. really alerts the danger. He’s making good use of his strength there. Just refuses to be out muscled. Receives it in a good position. keeps everyone guessing. So, who’s he picking out? He’s had a look. Plays it through. Danger averted for now. I wonder what you’ve seen, Jim, over the early moments of the game. 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. Pumps it into the area. going for goal. Goal! Oh, what a cracking goal, but a cracking touch as well. That’s what made it for me. That’s brilliant play all around. Heat. Heat. Deadlock broken. It’s one0. Still a fragile lead though. They can’t afford to sit on this. finds himself eased off the ball. Goes direct to the front line. That’s not going to make it. Hardly anything between the sides and the score is 1-0. Good defending albe it from an unexpected source.

A chance to play it in. Shooting chance. Massive leap. That’s gone a long way up and away. No, he didn’t quite meet it right. Turns and goes back. Oh, that’s neat. Time to deliver. Plays it back. He’s had that put on. Chance. Look at it. A two goal lead and they’re firmly in control. No space, no problem. You just cannot stop him. 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 and it didn’t seem on. It’s really crafty business that So that’s two now without reply. 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. out to the right. Oh, he’d have done well to reach that. And it’s played forward. Heat. Heat. up towards the front line.

They are rampant and they are pulling clear here. Yeah, 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. Three without reply. This is becoming a stroll. steered in and he’s there to hoof it away. And it’s been taken straight 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. And now the breakaway just brushed off the ball there. A super tackle. They were outnumbered and under the kosh. That had to be spot on and it was. And the counter is on. Cuts it out. What a ball this has turned out to be. He’s got the ball glued to his feet. Breaks on here. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. Looking to get within range. knocks it away. 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 might be a change over the second half. This looks well and truly sewn up already, Peter, but please feel free to forget what I’ve just said if there’s a spectacular turnaround. Really has been an astonishing game peppered with goals. You cannot help feeling that the second half will supply more. And we are already promptly back underway. Plays it out to the flank and the weighted pass has a pop. He scores. Just so calm under pressure. Oh, this fell is as slippery as a kneel. The way he freed himself to score. I mean, for that defense, it was a case of now you’ve got him, now you don’t. Brilliant. After 46 minutes, it is number 16. So, is this the start of a comeback? Good challenge. He just stood firm. Has he found his man? It’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. That’s been drilled forward. Well played. He saw that coming. There’s a long ball. Real chance. Great build up. It all deserved a better ending. The timing of the pass and run was exquisite. And it’s played forward. Cleared away. And that is as far as they’re going to go. tries to get it forward quickly and that’s been levered clear forward. It goes and it’s hoisted clear. That has put a stop to that. Forward it goes. out towards the flank. Oh, really good feet from him. Plenty waiting in the middle. He can get that clear. And that’s a throw in. That’s a good throw at all really. He’s given away possession cheaply. Keeper sends it forward. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. Tries to get it forward quickly. He’s on his way and the defense can get it clear. brings it out wide. In comes the cross. Oh, that’s a waste. She’s got rid of that. Hoist it forward. It’s a great gallop down the right hand side. Striding forward facing goal. has a pop and that would have been some goal. Well, the run was really impressive. The finish was depressive and expectations were not met. towering header. Their attempt just the wrong outcome. A more than decent attempt, Peter. And it’s played forward. Well, that’s where he wants it. That’s the sort of defending that is going to upset the opposition. It already has, actually. Yeah, now that he scored, this defense is on high alert whenever he he goes anywhere near the ball. Hoist it forward. Well played. He saw that coming. He’s found his man. Tries to locate someone up front. He’s gone out for a throw in. just brushed off the ball there 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. The ball needed to be better there. That’s a wasted chance. Tries to get it forward quickly. Gets on the end of it. And it’s played forward. A move that looked promising but eventually thwarted without doing any harm. Forward it goes. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. The referee’s awarded a free kick and he’s going to have his name taken. Substitution. Now a chance to break. Gets into a dangerous position. needed a better pass there. Cuts it out. Looking to force his He’s had a shot. It’s in. Just one goal in it now. Game on. The lightness of step, the sharpness of movement, the certainty of finish. That’s always a great sight, you know, on a football pitch. Nimble footed show great balance and a really cool head to finish. And that kind of dribbling is really smart. This is threatening to become a really good game. I think they can sense a comeback here and so can this crowd. It’s all systems go now. Tries to get it forward quickly. Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Gets into a dangerous position. He’s through. This could fall anywhere. A retrieve, albeit perhaps momentary. Hoist it forward. Well, it’s good stuff. This is better. Well, hit and hope is just about the sum of it, isn’t it, Jim? Just has to be done. Forward it goes. And it’s played forward. Not much subtlety. He’s launched himself there. They didn’t manage to get nearly enough into the box and that speaks of little ambition out to the left. It goes. Yeah, that’s top defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities. Oh, real chance. Pinged forward. Has gone out. Intercepts the throw. That’s well read. tries to get it forward quickly. Hoist it forward. And it’s played forward. and helps available out wide. Knocks it away. Loses his balance and loses the ball. He’s gone for it. And that would have been game seven match. He got too ahead of himself there thinking how he could have made things safe. Well, that’s where he wants it. Forward it goes. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. Oh, he’s found him in space. Has a hit. There’s a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed. But will they? And the assistant referee rightly gives him offside. There is some activity down on the touch line. It seems there’s going to be a change. Yeah, it was 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 on a plate. floats one over. Gets into some space. Can he deliver? Played out to the right. A really good feet. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. That’s spread out wide. Yeah, he’s failed him there. and they’ve got it back as soon as they gave it away. Well, they could break here. He’s looked long this time. Oh, shooting chance. Keep calm and carry on. That’s the job in a nutshell now. Oh, it’s taken out. That’ll be a foul. And he is going into that little black book. looks to bypass the midfield. Peter, they have to fight the onset of desperation and keep enough cool heads to still deliver. He’s picked him out. Looking for a decent ball in. There’s the shot. Yeah, it’s safe to say that they just need to manage this to secure the win now. Almost there and the players can feel it. Well, it remains to be seen whether they can come up with that little bit of class to rescue this situation and it needs to be any time now really hoist it forward. I think it’s time for them to concentrate on closing this one out. Look at the defender bombing forward. Yeah, it’s safe to say that they just need to manage this to secure the win now. Tries to get it forward quickly. Look, with time running out, they have to get the ball in the penalty box. And if it means a long punt, then so be it. They’ve got to give themselves a chance. And that’s been levered clear. Time added on will be two minutes. Suit goal. And the keeper’s relieved to see that disappear wide. Oh, how close was that to going in? It only required the smallest of tweaks. Heat. Heat. gets into a dangerous position. Nicely measured pass and that will be the final act. Well, whatever the shortcomings on either side, it was a great game to watch, just one between them. So, Jim, how do you reflect on what we’ve seen? Yeah, looking back on this the early goal. Well, we’re underway. Ball’s gone out of play. Battles to win it back. Good run down the left. What can they make of it? He goes long. Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there. Ah, that just required a bit more oomph to reach its target. Looks to dink one inward. It goes put a stop to that. Hoist it forward. Tries to get it forward quickly. Tried to play it through. The movement was good, but the pass lacked authority. Uh, a cause of mild frustration. Heat. Heat. just brushed off the ball there. Chance to break. He’s made sure that that won’t get through. And it’s played forward. Lovely bit of skill there. Massive leap. Oh, just couldn’t turn it in. I have to commend the wing play, but I have to condemn the defending. They’ve got to stop the cross. That’s not going to make it. And he’s going long. I wonder what you’ve seen, Jim, over the early moments of the game. 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. It’s been intercepted and that will come to nothing. He’s looked long this time. Good challenge. He just stood firm. Tries to get it forward quickly. He’s got away. Deafly done. Goalkeeper’s ball. hoist it forward. It’s come loose. No change to the score. Nil nil it remains. Room for a shot. He’s got the ball glued to his feet. Chance to shoot. Has a pop. 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. Time to deliver. played into the middle. 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. A chance to play it in into the box. up. He gets goal. 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. Number 17. 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 it’s one0. 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 goes for goal. Really well taken goal. 21 minutes. Number 22. And that has added a whole new complexion to the game. Yeah, it’s always a dangerous time when you’ve just scored. You can easily lose focus and then bang, you’re pegged back again. Great strength, too strong for his opponent. He is not one readily to admit defeat. Don’t be surprised if he tries that again. He’s got options out wide. Plenty waiting in the middle. Oh, sweet feet. whipped in. Keeper’s ball. So, midway through the first half and it is a tight old tie. towering header. They score into the lead once more. Oh, the cross was inch perfect and the header unerring. Well, I just thought he wanted that more than anyone else on the pitch and it was fully deserved. He gave it everything he had. Well, this is what we’ve been waiting for. Forward it goes. gets it back. It’s being played forward. He’s left his man. Fire deep towards the up to meet it. Oh, not the best of headers. hoist it forward. Played in with accuracy. It’s a long ball, but it’s not hit its target. It’s a move that looked promising, but eventually thwarted without doing any harm. gets into a dangerous position. Chipped through. Keeper’s ball. Can’t get the better of his opposite number. Hit into the middle and that’s been levered clear. Lovely feet. Shooting chance. Quick ball forward. turns and chance lingered over it and the chance to counter had gone. Look, if they’re going to counter, it has to be pacier and much more decisive. And it’s played forward. And they’re not going to make any further progress now. Coming up to Halime leading and things are looking pretty good. Out to the right. Gorgeous control there. Hiter. It’s in. And there’s the goal they’ve been looking for. Well, you know, thinking about that, I think they’ve perfected that on the training ground because it took them seconds to get the ball from back to front and they really commit forward in numbers, too. It was all very well drilled. So the lead now is two. Well, unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned. I’m not sure they can gather themselves. Oh, that is lovely footwork. Goes for the cross and he’s there to clear it. Oh, shooting chance. tries to get it forward quickly out towards the flank. 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. just brushed off the ball there. played towards the front then and it’s been taken straight back. Tries to get it forward quickly. 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. Just a talking to, I think. Yes, it is. He’s had a crack. Great leap. Harmlessly behind It over to the other flank. Hoist it forward. Decent progress down the left. Ball is over the line. That’s inches away from being a really good ball. forward. It goes and now they can launch a counter. And it’s hoisted clear. That’s the whistle for Halime. Well, it’s hard to say whether a two goal advantage under these circumstances is decisive or not, but so far I haven’t really seen enough to indicate that the opposition can come out in the second half and improve to that degree. Well, that has been a goal blessed half. It is 3-1. Already up and running for the second half. Plays it out to the flank. There are a few waiting for it. Ball driven towards the far post. He’s making good use of his strength there. Just refuses to be out muscled. Hefty challenge, but fair enough. It’s a very good battle there. Terrific to watch. And the counter is on. Gets wrestled off the ball. Yeah, he was under pressure to get that exactly right and he couldn’t even think of the consequences. It was instinctive and rock solid. And it’s played forward. Well positioned to make that interception. That’s been drilled forward. battles to win it back. Tries to get it forward quickly. Played out to the right. That is terrific skill. He’s got options in the box if he gets his head up. Forward it goes. Tries lifting it over. Good clearance and very necessary. knocks it away and they’ve been caught out here. Hoist it forward. Well played. He saw that coming. Well, that’s where he wants it. Yeah, that’s tough defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities and he just whacks it away. Well, it’s a safety in numbers approach to defending here. Yeah, but dropping deep can bring more trouble. Yeah. Well, shots from distance and and space in wider positions besides the obvious issue of inviting most of your opposition high up the pitch. Can he deliver? And that has been cleared. Well read. He’s sorted that out. And here’s the chance to counter. It’s a fine run and he’s happy to keep going. Oh, that’s neat. So, who’s he picking out? Loses his balance and loses the ball. Forward. It goes. Tries to get it clear. That’ll be a throw in. a chance. Gets up to head it. It’s gone a long way up and away. up for the header. Oh, nearly. But nearly is nothing. That’s a little unfortunate. He had a lot of people worried then. Has he found his man? Oh, well intercepted. Really alert to the danger. Tries to get it forward quickly. done very well to intervene. Hoist it forward. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. plays it out to the wing. He wasn’t very far from making something happen by himself. Lovely to see. Good challenge. He just stood firm. And it’s played forward. Great strength. Too strong for his opponent. That’s a foul. Free kick’s been given. Heat. Heat. And it’s got through. Nicely controlled. Looking for a decent ball in. Defending of the desperate variety. Has a pop. Oh, that is an awful miss. Oh, I’m not sure what he had in mind and I don’t think he knew either. Tries to get it forward quickly. gets it back. That’s the sort of defending that is going to upset the opposition. It already has actually. Yeah. And they finally reacted, but they could have been more switched on before he he scored. more than happy to take the muscular approach. Heat. Heat. has a shot. Ah, that’s great defending to cover for the goalkeeper and just get something in the way. Good take by the keeper. He’s read that well. Forward it goes. Well, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there. Now Peter, his body shape was a giveaway before he made the pass and its obviousness was was appreciated. Chance to shoot. He’s gone for it. Yes. And they are cruising away. 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. Final checks on the touch line. A change about to occur. So now the difference is three. Gets into a dangerous position. hoist it forward. Just a quarter of an hour to play. Danger averted for now. Foul and a free kick in a very dangerous area. hoist it forward. Ball needed to be better there. That’s a wasted chance. Here it comes. left behind for a corner kick. Last ditch defending, but that’ll do. He’s been bundled over. That is a foul. The ref’s been lenient here. I doubt he’ll get too many more chances. That is good defending. It’s been repelled. A smart save chance. Chries to get some great leap. It goes to show he is human after all. Oh no. That was a chance. What a chance. cuts it out. plays a clever pass. Dedic over the top. Oh, he’s got that one wrong. Now, can he capitalize out to the left? It goes hits one and he’s there to hoop it away. Forward. It goes in with the challenge. That’s surely a foul. Free kick. over to the left. Balls out on the left now. Pumps it in and he flies. Oh, taken with style. Over the hills and far away. No catching them now. Spectacular header. He really flung himself at that. Ah, strikers love a diving header and he timed that to perfection. He snuffles his third and that earns him the match ball. This is one of the best performances I’ve seen in a while. He’s practically taken on this team single-handedly and they don’t know how to stop him. Things looking so easy, almost too easy here. 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. The final five minutes. Looking for space out wide. Up to meet it. It wasn’t a great header in the end. Heat. Heat. Some good play on the left hand side now to profit from it. Fired in. Cleared away. tries to get it forward quickly. Well, that’s where he wants it. Questions were asked, but he’s given the answers and it’s played forward. They’ve managed to get it away. For a moment you felt that was going somewhere, but they’ll have to go again. Battles to win it back. Floats one over. Out of play for a goal kick. Yeah, it was 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. Time added on will be two minutes. Just brushed off the ball there. Some good work on the right flank. Now what’s next? Cut out in the nick of time. Forward it goes. And that’s it. Demolition, destruction, annihilation. They simply ran away with it. And we’re underway. Ball has crossed the line and it’s a throw. And it’s played forward. And that’s been lever clear. What a ball this has turned out to be. Great strength, too strong for his opponent. Good run ultimately. Shut a goal. Just sails past the upright. Look, I’m sure he’ll deny it, Peter, but the keeper didn’t have that covered. Forward. It goes. Is there any support? He might not need it. Oh, right on the edge of the penalty area. What’s he giving here? No. The referee’s judged that the offense took place outside the area. Yeah. Well, they were exposed and and vulnerable and he knew he had to do something to prevent a goal then. He’s had a crack. It’s bounced out. Oh, the ball’s come loose. Oh, sweet feet. Plenty waiting in the middle. Keeps everyone guessing. Delivers across. Timely intervention. tries to locate someone up front. Well positioned to make that interception. Tries to get it forward quickly. Hoist it forward. Plays it out to the flank. He’s got the ball glued to his feet. Turns and goes back. Played out to the right. Whipped in. And that was asking just too much of him. Forward it goes. And he’s there to clear it. Hoist it forward. tries to get it forward quickly. I wonder what you’ve seen, Jim, over the early moments of the game. Well, both sides seem happy with the patient approach for now. Still trying to have a good look at one another. Looks to play him in, but a minor communications breakdown. Some good work on the right flank. Now what’s next? That a foul? Yes, the referee’s given it. That’s spread out wide. A real chance to break. That’s put paid to a promising move. Whistle’s gone. That’s a foul. tries to get it clear. Oh, that is lovely footwork. This is promising. More than happy to take the muscular approach. Brings it forward. over to the left. Well, read. He’s sorted that out. Still goalless. That’s surely a foul. Free kick. Well, that looks like a final warning. Still no card. Great reaction. That’s a fine save. Well, I thought a starting position was good and that helped the keeper to judge the play of the ball and and deal with it well. And it’s played forward. Cuts it out. loses his balance and loses the ball. And it’s played forward and they’re not going to make any further progress now. tries to stroke it through. Too much on it. And that’s the keepers. Oh, that’s nice. Puts in a cross.
