Captivate and this occasion appears irresistible two magnificent sides intent upon impressing the wide world with a display of Technical and tactical Brilliance so much riding on [Applause] this find out how it unfolds right here on [Music] eatv hello and thanks for joining us live here on EA TV guy Mo with you for commentary alongside Sue Smith and with the atmosphere building up nicely what a match this promises to be Sue what are your expectations from this thanks Guy well being in and around the ground before kickoff the fans are buzzing they can't wait for this game so hopefully it's a fastpaced entertaining match no need to worry about that effort for the keeper here's how the home side lines up yeah it's a 442 with the diamonds in the Midfield the holding play will help the team to build from the back they could also drop into the back line allowing both fullbacks to push on if they need to a chance to cross here well it did look threatening but the keeper will be happy to claim that this is how the visitors start the game yeah it's a 442 Diamond so there's one hold in midfielder you've got two number eights and a number 10 getting up to support the forwards it's just essential but the two up top hold the ball up to allow those midfielders to join in Hamilton the ref allowing play to continue bit sloppy in [Applause] possession in is yena Ashley Sanchez this is lovely football moving Defenders around attack of genuine promise developing struggling to keep the ball there need to get tighter here now can this be attacked needs to clear it here well a bit of a disappointing end to the attack CC Kaiser has the space to whip it in here nobody able to do anything with that one get it out was the message there throwing in now Moran [Applause] gaat now what can they do from here the approach play looked encouraging but good defending to Snuff out any threat and that's a foul and a free [Applause] kick that's a lovely ball there might be something building now and the threat has gone with the keeper in [Applause] control she's beaten her marker here and that was an opponent too many to take [Applause] on Sanchez and it's a pretty good Save By The Keeper well the crowds are up for this they haven't had too much to cheer about for a while but this is a big [Applause] chance it's played in now and that whistle brings the first half to a close [Applause] so away we go then for the second half [Applause] oh great work what's next oh a great chance well what an opportunity that was oh it should be one n up guy you can see how frustrated she is with herself [Applause] and it might not stay away from that goal long after that de [Applause] berardo deho found nicely and in very well kept out alert and ready a corner for them now and a good opportunity to get ahead in the game [Applause] and they've gone with a short one good cross into the middle it's only halfway clear well a promising attack but unable to to take advantage a little careless there as the ball changes hands the chance to cross here real opportunity oh my word that's a terrific effort all about the timing and it was spot [Applause] on well we can see it again now and what a perfect cross that is it's just inviting someone to attack it and it makes a Striker's job relatively easy all she has to do is make the right connection it's a really good goal well we've had to wait until the second half but finally the deadlock has been broken Andy Sullivan the game brought to a halt a free kick given for that [Applause] trying to spark the attack further into life here and that has gone over the top by quite a distance [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] moving forward under no real pressure that's out of play it'll be a throw now Bailey has the space to whip it in here and it's in the goal to get us back to level pegging [Applause] well here's the replay and the delivery is just right isn't it it's in the danger area just asking for someone to get on the end of it and then what a great finish as well it's a good connection with the ball leaving the keeper with little chance it's a fantastic goal so it's one each as the game restarts could be something happening for them now but not the end result they wanted from an encouraging position Ashley Hatch on the attack could we see late drama here and this could be oh dear nothing about that was right that's a bad [Applause] Miss Kaiser that will be a throw in now [Applause] Kaiser and that has stopped any potential Danger yena this looks really good could we see a winning goal and a cross into the area oh good save to keep it all square well at this stage of the game that's a vital stop it's fantastic work from The Keeper [Music] over it comes and the keepers done really well to keep that out and there goes the final whistle it's all over [Applause] okay [Applause] [Applause] about [Applause] [Applause] off we go the excitement of extra time begins good spell looking for that all important next [Applause] goal no need to worry about that effort for the [Applause] keeper de Bernardo [Applause] the flag offside [Applause] this is looking good now what comes next and there it [Applause] ends balski and that will do it for the first half so away we go again another 15 [Applause] [Applause] minutes great chance here not quite the accuracy she was looking for that'll be a goal kick [Applause] Cameron balski and the hard work pays off they won the ball [Applause] now if they score from this they'll surely win the [Applause] game the chance didn't look on and it turned out it wasn't there the angle was so tight I'm not sure why she even attempted the shot she had other options [Applause] and so extra time ends with penalties on the way [Applause] okay it's in no messing and no keeper is saving [Applause] that good penalty and it's been put [Applause] away and the Chance has been spurned the penalty saved and clinical from the [Applause] spot it's in no messing good [Applause] penalty and it's Save The Keeper the hero in the shootout well so often it's a guessing game but she's guess right here it's a good stop you have to say they probably deserved it overall just about edged it for me [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] look sure
