several options in the Box to uh to pick [Applause] out that's just very well played he can't hurt you with his back to goal and he didn't go for the back in Martinez pedri hoist It Forward Baler fan Torres BDA questions were asked he's given the answers Fedor Danny Vivan vka this could spell danger oh that's a foul and the whistle strong well I think the alternative was to stand there and do nothing while he he tried to score obviously is's not going to allow that pie is [Applause] he going for [Applause] goal they canst it clear that's a throw vesa vesa drives It Forward defending all bit from an unexpected Source you have to admire commitment like that because he could easily ignore that and just kind of walk around and let others do all the chasing but instead he looks as if he relishes the chance to to dig in for his team here and it's played forward he's made sure that that won't get through heres [Applause] Desa VOR sanset vishka Vador he got himself a free kick [Applause] [Applause] Rafia gets it away he's try it's off Target and by quite away vishka he's not played the ball that's a [Applause] foul danger averted for now [Applause] vescar just brushed off the ball there try as they might they just couldn't get into an attacking area Martinez Martinez goes looking no that is pretty much the end of that [Music] he look long this time finds himself eased off the ball oh a tracking back like that always appreciated by the crowd I think it's great to see that kind of application and desire from a forward who wants to help out his defense I I think you know any good team really your Striker should be the first line in that defend and he's delivering that is terrific skill Ria it's a Mis Time Tackle and it is a penalty Barcelona presented with a golden opportunity here well the protest continues but in the end they are defending the indefensible yeah well they were exposed and and vulnerable and he knew he had to do something to prevent a goal then [Applause] [Applause] never any doubt dispatched with CC thing well look at the Keeper's reaction Peter he felt he could have kept it out that was so tight after 22 minutes number nine lei [Applause] [Applause] Barcelona break the deadlock still a fragile lead though they can't afford to sit on this VOR Sunset he'll have a go fantastic shorty this time and in it goes athletic Billow on level T sman reacted well to the initial effort but couldn't get it right out of the danger area well look regardless of whether the keeper could have done better or not Peter that was all down to the excellent movement in getting into the right position to apply the Final Touch number nine [Applause] [Music] that has certainly made made things interesting well they just couldn't have responded any better Peter yeah there's the old cliche about how teams can lose focus after scoring but you still have to take your chances brilliant Lafia he's got the ball glued to his feet it into the middle oh
