e e e for is is for for that's I [Music] pleasant evening hello excitement and it is built nicely in the it's quite a struggle to get in here points of access hard to come by and an awful lot of people there's a great feel here and much excitement for the game ahead and nobody in this atmosphere can hide from the truth about how much this game matters the SE and already we're underway here that's going to go a long way nicely spread and here's demele well it looked promising but the final ball is just not quite [Applause] right clearly is myth having made the run and not get picked out now it's now the [Applause] finish and the keeper has reacted superbly there Rodrigo clearly thought he had the beating of the keeper and we have our very first quarter and he gets her in a hurry and now they can spring out a [Applause] defense big chance that is decidedly lacking do now that's been intercepted it's a sweet ball that and he's intervened well there oh easy pickings [Applause] there France have had plenty of possession but few if any genuine chances Ruben Diaz did well to emerge with the ball that's a contest to keep an eye [Applause] on Rodrigo nice interception his positioning was spot on Modric that's headed up field Mele is offering some sort of an poetry there ah that just required a bit more oomph to reach its Target whatever he had in mind that was not it and it's hulit pass is just off [Applause] Target Deele Deele hits off Target and by quite away a poorly directed kick from The Keeper he's given it away L maano [Applause] Mele well they've got it back in a hurry it's a really well measured ball oh perfectly measured that and the referee brings the first half to a close well there it is halim not a bad watch by any means and the efforts of both sides have been good but and the game remains go no goals at this stage but certainly not devoid of action it is nil nil here at halim substitution for France number 21 Griezmann coming on to replace action is back on the way number 13 gigs he ran himself into trouble there free kick given [Applause] away fiddles it through gigs oh it's played in into the area cleared away Messi it's the sort of situation that they'll want to capitalize on now works it forward that's gone for a throw in France come out of the tunnel having undergone a change at halim well I think this is probably a good time Peter to make ambitious change Mele might just make this that has been cut short aim forwards Messi and the keeper beats it away Hernandez with the clearance well seen saw that coming played into the middle [Applause] with 71550 very few chances to talk of Jim defense is it seems on top here yeah I think it's a score line in keeping with what we've seen up to this point combined attempts at goal aren't high in numbers and we could do it something to spark this contest into life oh that's well spotted and he gets R in a hurry now it's pedri gently [Applause] done and is hullet and that interception was most necessary now it's pedri that's good play from him he is through here oh well played he needed to get that right ax showing a good level of intensity at this stage they're calling on all their resources [Applause] now now it's Messi he has found the way through Rodrigo cleared without complication he's looking to set free a runner oh super bow and he shoot well now it's a race for the ball and he's really put himself on the line here up for a header oh fine stop from The Keeper mbappe actually didn't do an awful lot wrong to be honest France couldn't really be more water tied in Midfield not a trickle is getting through to proa it's pedri so that's it it is all over frustration exasperation vexation certainly from an attacking perspective either side able to make e [Music] is is well good evening to you and welcome on this most perfect evening for a game of football to which we look forward immensely it's hardly a surprise that everybody has come here in their droves days leading up to it and it's good to see that we have a good contingent of visiting fans by the look of it to the atmosphere is amicable the conditions do bring out he's got the sh away oh the balls went loose [Applause] here well seen saw that coming and the Counterattack is on for [Applause] France threads one in Griezmann has it out wide and in space up to meet it rashford gets flagged offside [Applause] Hernandez totally focused today as always as he has been throughout the 499 appearences he's made up until this one well what an amazing career he's had Peter and I'm sure this won't be the last significant Landmark he'll surpass I think when it comes to consistency this guy has set the levels kavinga that's a shade [Applause] optimistic cfu [Applause] mbapp venicius J [Applause] [Applause] he rises smashing delivery just didn't do enough with it I think we can expect a few more of those now better timing was all that was required [Applause] oh that's such a good run more of that place well he certainly wasn't in the mood to take any risks Messi gets his head to it he is desperate to get on the score sheet but not this time Spain really putting a few chances together here taking one can only add to such good momentum [Applause] now oh he's giv it [Applause] away and that'll be a goal kick now it's rashford and he's there to Belt It Away L it's griezman that is decidedly lacking I think it's a very fair effort Peter considering he didn't have much in the way of space to play with still looking for the first breakthrough and it is nearly halime now and that interception was most necessary oh and he's through the middle jinho it's Bellingham he looking wide oh well played well sorted out L just eases him off the ball there will be one minute ated time oh that's a key interception and it's Griezmann and the halim whistle goes as if we needed reminding no easy games at this level and that is proven here neither side any further forward from where they were 45 minutes ago but it is far from lethargic far from slow highly engaging but goalless France head to the dressing room not yet having broken through tight Cy game neither team any further forward than they were when they started out substitution in progress oh [Applause] [Applause] here we go again then a tight old game so far can that change now Messi [Music] fallan Ona and it's Griezmann and he's being shifted off it venicius Juni nicely spread Messi and that should get the job [Applause] done maratona and it's Messi oh good read mbapp shinho goal is still neither side really getting onto the front foot that's an excellent interception the attendance 7,649 a good steal he just read it Maradona has now penned a new deal possibly the world's worst kept secret that's a little off Target oh red nice [Applause] interception a deeply frustrating game so far certainly in terms of the score line it remains nil [Applause] nil and it's maradon plays a sharp little ball here he's picked his way through [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] substitution for Spain number eight mbapp number 21 Diego number promising but the final ball is just not quite right number 18 number 10 Messi coming on the FI back in number [Applause] Mele with the clearance 22 Robert leandi shifted it to the flank Phil fod can he get it through foden number 11 terrific header he has done it well if ever there was a perfect time to score I think we just witnessed it that is a fine goal really efficiently done yeah he makes those runs with with great stealth and a ghost like arrival to get his head to the ball and very quickly The Substitute made his Mark that's just as the manager would have seen it an impact sub Spain break the deadlock listen when it comes to goals Peter in this team he's always the number one Contender and he's done it again Maron loose ball now and there's a Chase on to retrieve it and he was there to get a vital touch really anticipated that well didn't he Spain with their first Corner the first in the game for either side [Applause] actually goal and surely that does it
