[Applause] and they couldn't ask for better playing conditions actually I suppose we a brief shot of the referee and his two assistants there John A lot of people probably don't realize they'll probably be as nervous as the players at this stage I would imagine so yes any decision made in a game like this of course especially with so many uh C nowadays is analyzed and overanalyzed many many times and uh I'm quite certain there'll be something happening here which will uh create an awful lot of postmatch controversy Now where's the ball going and there's the throw board good work that sced their attack Defender just clear that [Applause] [Music] there the ball finding its way [Applause] somehow nice St from the defender good [Applause] tackle going [Applause] Romania trying to get on top in this game where there has yet to be a [Applause] goal it ra it out of Defense oh that was a good tackle Defenders have just really followed their their role followed their main job of

of the ball nice and early John it's an old super [Applause] straight to the keeper and still we haven't seen a goal can Romania get one now and he's getting to know the ball well here didn't he block that well [Applause] it's Contra look made it his [Music] ball holding the opposition here Defender showed a nice turn of [Music] skill pick it up and they've picked that up in a dangerous position

thoughts on defending for the moment [Applause] behind and it's there yes that goal has opened the scoring and given them a useful lead there is not a keeper in the world would have saved that this lad ever so well to place it Beyond his reach in the bottom corner oh yes right in the bottom corner goalkeeper went the wrong way they're in the lead allly let's just take a look back as to how that happened allly what was your view yeah look at this John he knows exactly where he wants to put the ball and he knows the goalkeeper can't get there in time this his terrific skill you know well he hopes that's the first of many 1 n he demanded the ball in that tackle KRA for Romania good [Applause] pass [Applause] [Music] tackle the defender puts a good challenge and puts him [Applause] off that's a really good place to win it back now they had a chance [Applause] there that could be costly a pause here then for a throw [Applause] in and he's right in the thick of it that may be a yellow C it's a yellow card then for The Challenge from [Applause] behind High wide and hon are they going to regret that Miss [Applause] John he's got it now which of his teammates are in space Romania in possession looking for The Equalizer the ref could book him [Applause] here he's off the referee makes up his mind very quickly and that's the end of his game they're going to have to drop someone in from the Midfield and AF to cover the Gap that he's [Applause] leaving oh good save he really hit that well that's obviously less cover for the keeper now of course [Applause] unable to keep the header down and that's over the bar well that is a surprise I felt sure he would score again John played out then here's muu nicely [Applause] taken a what good skill and balance that's good stuff at the [Applause] back Romania one goal down have got the ball now well he's got a bit of pace [Applause] there and he's in the Box the ball smothered by the [Applause] goalkeeper one in [Applause] Midfield now [Applause] going they're in a tight spot here the defense has really got its back against the wall stock in his tracks and the Defenders will be keeping their themselves shirt tight really to these attackers [Music] [Applause] down the flank here great tackle to stop him out for a throw not a good place to lose the ball a break here now for a [Applause] throw W in along the deck good save probably should have scored taking nothing away from the goalkeeper good save [Applause] oh the backfall very much in charge [Applause] here Defenders very much on top just at the [Applause] moment nice football there at the back wrote them down there [Applause] [Applause] everybody back [Applause] help and he's smuggled it away [Applause] he could do something with the loose ball here what's the referee going to do about that [Applause] one didn't Merit a red card a yellow is fair [Applause] good save who needs to hold the ball when he can punch it like that well he shed that against the odds [Applause] [Applause] there over the bar no control on the head that's his first shot of the game John [Applause] that's down the wing from the goal kick not many goals this half with the score at 1 n what stood out for you in that half Ali yes it was a real shame to see that red card but anything could still happen let's remind ourselves of some of the first half action well the first half could have just been the dress [Applause] rehearsal a good tackle to win the ball [Applause] [Music] played forward and they don't look unduly bothered in defense either do they no not at all they're quite solid there plenty of players back to Snuff out this attack look someone had to stop him good tackle I think he knocked Away by The Keeper that's going to be a throw in on this [Applause] side What a fine save by the goalkeeper well you the goalkeeper catching the ball like that breeds confidence throughout the whole side John gets his body in the way oh nice ball just got it [Applause] through Romania in possession looking for The [Applause] Equalizer oh I think he was forunate there well the ball wasn't loose for [Applause] long nice ball into the attacking third and he's got that ball away got the ball through good pass oh it's a decent tackle good defending yeah to muu [Applause] well he's got a bit of pace [Applause] there now that was lucky will he cross it crossed in oh he swerves it oh just the wrong side of the post [Applause] Defender did well getting back Romania one goal down have got the ball [Applause] now and he's getting to know the ball well here low to the Box oh yes we give him that one great goal this game is not over until it's over that's the isses we're getting from this team we've got one less man I'm not giving up that's the way to finish down row where the goalkeeper can't go it's all level here now at 1-1 [Applause] Christian kevu for Romania good tackle and now it's a [Applause] throwing and that's out into touch he wanted that ball [Applause] chasing back well [Applause] there and it comes back to the defense won it [Applause] well quality ball all thoughts on defending for the [Applause] moment Romania in possession but nothing to choose between the two sides one in Midfield [Applause] oh I tell you what this boy's got some Pace oh they've got to get this [Music] away kills the attack dead [Applause] they're in a tight spot here the defense has really got its back against the [Applause] wall good and halted by the defense everybody back helping Romania have got the ball but the game is still all square no I think vast improvements have to be made in that defense good cross into the area he wasn't going to let that P him well simple Mass doesn't seem to apply here they have more players but that isn't helping them this keeper is doing all he can to protect his team's interest and he's doing it well he's got it now which of his teammates are in [Music] space itall down the sideline loses [Applause] it the shot blocked out it goes it's a corner [Applause] found his man and the goalkeeper didn't hold it not the first time space for the cross plays it in [Applause] now what can they make of this to me go go [Applause] [Applause] go yes good attacking ball yeah that was good Defender Romania in possession but nothing to choose between the two sides he whipped that away so well that'll be a throw in now oh he got that one all right [Applause] but his route was shut off there oh that header really opened up the [Applause] defense the ball finding its way [Applause] somehow plenty of players back to sniff out this [Applause] back and picked up at the [Music] [Applause] back that looked offside but he's got away with it good battling that was an effective clearance good defending anticipated that nicely so still tied here as we get close to the end of the second half oh bit lucky with that real opportunity that's a great save well held oh the goalkeeper's going to have to do the work of more than one man now John [Applause] that's a really good place to win it [Applause] back now [Applause] all thoughts on defending for the moment 90 minutes and the two teams really cancel each other out these players will have to summon up every last drop of effort to do battl in extra time [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] wins the ball at the [Applause] back they're in a tight spot here the defense has really got its back against the wall shooting chance here oh and it's a [Applause] goal you know I have a feeling that won't be the last goal he scores in this game just look at the excitement in the crowd here that goal makes it 2-1 [Applause] here a good tackle to win the ball and he's getting to know the ball well here well in that'll be a throw that's good goalkeeping well well held by the keeper well you can't expect a keeper to keep everything out but he's having a very good goal now where's the ball [Applause] going now will he whipping AC cross they try and work that ball out somehow but they can't good play at the back that that's a good ball now they've lost the ball and they could lose a goal everybody back helping is it a goal yes that's a great [Applause] B they're certainly having a go to home side aren't they well you can't afford to let this guy have an inch his finishing is absolutely meticulous well here comes the replay of the incident
