1 n their efforts have been rewarded and look at the [Applause] celebrations well as you can see he's given far too much space but he's still had some work to do and I I think that's a very tidy finish it was never in doubt goal for the so the match has restarted One n here vid foul there free kick award it well just a warning on this occasion might have decided to hand out the yellow card [Applause] and the timing was perfect ball [Applause] one might work goes and now can a keep calm and it goes to square the game what a contest this is turning out to me well here it is again the through ball is absolutely inch perfect and then through on goal he just goes for power and smashes it past the keeper there's no stopping that what a great finish back underway level pegging one goal a piece in this game [Applause] shank well that's how to Shield the ball and control it there's determination there for all to see VRA and thwarted there following the cross after the foul a chance to contemplate what is next and perhaps a goal from this free kick and goes for goal well you saw what he was trying with that free kick but the goalkeeper had it covered all the way [Applause] now how about the short corner vidra and a good challenge to bring that attack to an end well that's how to keep the opposition at Bay plenty of forward momentum here but can they produce textbook closing down and now they're on the [Applause] attack and just one minute of time added on for stoppages good wait on that pass gives it a go and he's Ked out fully stretched somehow reaching it can someone get on the end of this well capable of a better clear of [Applause] that well no way through in the end a chance then for the respective managers to address their charges it is halime here but he's been the standout for his side so far don't you think Stuart well they weren't at their best but with that equalizer you can see why he's so important to this team hopefully they can get more of the ball to him in the second half so he can show us his ability 2nd half well underway once more and it's going to be fascinating to see what developments occur in this second [Applause] half nice waight on the pass look as though there might be a threat but not so in the end good defending VRA well no stopping [Applause] him and the throw in Forth coming now he must favor the cross we've had a pair of keys please can you go to reception have lost your keys committed challenge plenty of support [Applause] here [Applause] VRA is it going to be well somehow the goalkeeper got to it and it is substitution time at this juncture not just from one side but from both elects to go short ibraim Tori real chance and it's in in the're back in front stunning scenes [Applause] here well here's another look and you can see what a good finish this is he holds off the defender brilliantly and keeps his composure that's a great goal goal for the so the ball is rolling again 2-1 the score line VI Kent 20 minutes remaining Frankie [Applause] Kent and teammates to play it to oh great defending and he has options available wonderful chance and they've done it to square the game once again [Applause] accelerating well here it is again the through ball is absolutely in perfect and he makes no mistake with the Finish he showed a lot of composure there and level again here this has been quite the roller coaster ride calv and strong play here and he read it well intercepting it 5 minutes remaining and level pegging here maai level pegging but can they change that oh genuine chance oh magnificent from The Keeper fantastic VRA the ball with Yori TR and there's the referee's whistle these two sides cannot be separated Extra time [Applause] well back underway here and it's quite simple both teams must steal themselves for 30 extra [Applause] minutes and support available well nothing comes of it it looked promising for Toby Civic bingi oh did well to skip through well danger averted thanks to his [Applause] [Applause] teammate yela [Applause] promising sequence well unable to bend his run offside well both teams have had substitutes swming up and now both will rely on their respective benches halime in extra time and still they are level and so 15 more minutes we're into the second period of extra time here [Applause] and a strong [Applause] tackle on the attack it's there to be late drama he's protecting it well could cross it in here not a promising looking attack but comes to nothing in the end this might be ideal for the counter well not giving the opposition a look in that strong play Steven Kingsley in a position from which they could potentially do a bit of damage here textbook defending inside the box so one minute of stoppage time that's what the officials have said it always had the potential to go the distance and it has so a penalty shootout is next [Applause] Penalties and so the penalty shoot out about to commence and as a player and it's gone [Applause] in and he's beaten the keeper his turn to try to convert from the spot and it [Applause] goes and he succeeds in finding the bottom corner and up he comes doing his best to remain focused and he's denied them from the spot and he finds the net he could hardly Miss and he steps up to take the shot and there it is perfectly executed and the penalty converted here it won't be lost on him what's at stake here he knows he's got to score well he fired it straight down the middle but it comes down to this in and they win oh he saved [Applause] it well the keeper reacted magnificently well a successful kick here and that will be that a mountain of pressure on him but he withstands the test and they've gone and won it well cool composed and really good technique a match winning penalty and probably deserved over the course of the game [Applause] he
