Atletico de San Luis vs CF Monterrey - Liga MX - MD29 - EFOOTBALL2024 | PS5 [4K60]

well good afternoon to you things had been building up very nicely over the last couple of days in the lead up to this game but as you can see the last couple of hours are a rather different story the weather has decided not to play ball the conditions here are a long way from ideal it is teaming with rain and that has left both teams contemplating very different challenges it's almost old style understandable looks of concern on the faces of managers officials players and fans alike [Music] and expectations are rising and decibel levels are rising the noise is quite something you can feel what football means to the people in this part of the world so Jim tell me this who are you looking for in particular here well Peter I really like this L jul kund A Lot he isn't the biggest but he's known for having a a big character that makes up for that he's brilliant in boxes and he can muscle opponents that are much bigger than him you add a little bit of pace to that and he's a formidable Presence at the back okay interesting [Applause] well we're on the way buett Ops for safety and played Cross Field changing the point of attack and kundai pedri that's a good run down the left and kovic loose ball now and there's a Chase on to retrieve it oh and that is really good tenacity and we have our very first [Applause] quarter keeper has taken decisive Ive action Monteray can start a counter here oh that's fabulous interesting ball oh well played well sorted out swarez might just make this bset I wonder what you've seen Jim Over the early moment to the game well both sides seem happy with the patient approach for now still trying to have a good look at one another Jiao Canelo Canales that has been slung wide he's shifting through the gears here the fullback is in acres of space here and the keeper in command Neymar Neymar going full tilt on the left plays a sharp little ball here pedri oh facing up to his adversary this is a formidable matchup looking for options for movement [Applause] Messi oh nice touch Messi and a terrific save from The Keeper Messi is offering a r smile there now it's Messi oh that's wonderful alertness and he's gone backward here picked out brilliantly it's neyar he's scored the Breakthrough strike perhaps deserves a Little Bit of Sympathy here because that's a goalkeeper's nightmare it's it's clear that the keeper was unsighted by his defense and by the time he picked up the flight of that it was too late a one- nil lead established look he's the one everyone expects to put the ball in the net that's what he's paid to do tries to dink it in and the pass is intercepted and the two sides separated by The Game's only breakthrough moment to this point and the score is 1 [Applause] n Oliver Torres Medina getting on for a third of the way through the game Medina oh that's a key interception done delicately well played that has snuffed out the [Applause] danger Xiao Canelo it's pedri bset and kovic well it looked promising for a moment but it came to [Applause] nothing he's got away good spot he's seen the Run Oliver and the shot a real chance and a real let off yeah it wasn't the worst decision in the world to go for the shot even if he was being closely Marshal and the whistler's gone for a reckless challenge there and he's going to have his name taken looks like he's picked up a bit of a knock from that challenge [Applause] One n here just before the break and it looks as though it's going to stay that way for now good play on the left hand side [Applause] here oh he's caught him there it's a free kick [Applause] [Applause] Luis [Applause] Suarez Oliver Torres oh he's through the middle Lis Suarez great build up it all deserved A better ending oh it's a real opportunity missed there he's done all the hard work getting to the ball and all he needed to do was get some control on it kund does really well to win the ball there played out towards the right wing that's gone for a throw [Applause] in chooses to go Cross Field there's the whist for halim it's a half which has simed along nicely warming up to what may be a more open second half to follow [Applause] and the second half gets on the way well one nil may be good enough so they may erir on the side of caution and and get more players behind the ball instead of running Beyond it they could even try to to spoil it from here we'll see a searching ball that into [Applause] space look at can he finish really well taken goal the second half off to a spectacular start as simple as you like the outcome utterly inevitable yeah I really can't say enough as to how good the final ball was it took the defense out of the equation for that split moment and the damage was all done [Applause] and that has added a whole new complexion to the game well I think this is a case of anything you can do we can do too I mean they're matching each other like for like [Applause] here that has not gone well yamal oh now here's an interesting matchup there's a beautiful Simplicity about this contest willing running on one side dogged defense on the other he's found the way [Applause] through they'll want to make the most of this turnover he's looking to set free a runner well the idea was a good one the execution of it not quite so yeah the idea was right the delivery was wasn't they can revisit that further on now it's pedri montere needed that they really needed it you know it was an intervention that had to be made serious trouble lay in store Medina just about up to the hour now looking wide that's a modern defender's Instinct from a modern coach's Minds set he's in space and looking for options that's a throw Luis Suarez Medina spot sit and intercepts look they're prepared to be quite physical to contain any danger that might come their way and that is expertly dealt with yamal now that looks a decent ball and he's managed to get free yal and that has been cleared Ah that's great defending to cover for the goalkeeper and just get something in the [Applause] way it's a good run down the right oh no joy this time a slightly better ball would have led to a very different outcome there look the game is full of ifs and buts if only the the pass could have completed its journey I so time for changes on both sides actually yeah they're looking for some imagination and his job's going to be to add that element of craft and guile the man pulling the strings that he was quick to react oh it's a promising build up this plenty of really nice passing pedri now it's Neymar decent hit it's a goal and they're back in front look there just wasn't much of a gap to begin with and to find it I think it was a fine drive and I don't think the keeper could have really planned for that I think he's a bit unlucky in that instance [Applause] numer [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] both sides then taking this chance to turn to their benches so we have a breakthrough now how will things develop from here I think the danger for them now is fatigue I think when the body tires the Mind soon follow so concentration is key from here yamal now it's troninho neither of these two want to come off second best now it's Corona float it up and over pedri he's having a go and that would have been game set match pedri really did let them off the hook they could have wrapped it all up holding on to the slenderest of Leads Here minutes must feel like hours look there has to be more urgency here the ball has to get to the other end much faster Corona I think we're just about done here now it's pedri aimed beyond the [Applause] defense I think it's time for them to concentrate on closing this one out yamal has found the net here of course it's Ronaldinho he is through here well they're looking at the referee but he's wave play [Applause] on you can never be short of Runners into space as long as the space left behind is filled and the referee brings it to a close well that was close both sides playing their part in a great game of football a real ride that had all of us glued to our seats from the very beginning yamal picking up the man of the match award and no surprise there your Reflections then Jim yeah they had a game plan which was about hammering away in central positions and had paid off for me they were persistent and ruthless well that's it from us thanks very much Jim it's a very good day to you from both of us
