a [Applause] well this is what we've been waiting [Applause] for back towards the [Applause] middle well they've stamped some Authority on things but how much more Authority can be generated oh he's fizzed It Forward no no way he was going to let him past and that's put paid to a promising move a play for a [Applause] throw get a good foot in there chle do looks to bypass the [Applause] Midfield played out wide oh that is a nice touch he's had a hit he can get that [Applause] clear this is actually quite a courageous move and H but this is exactly the approach they have to take now Peter there is an irresistible irrepressible look about them here well the question now is whether they can sustain it [Applause] [Applause] plays a delicate ball it's gone out for a throwi [Applause] in ch to the hit and he's there to get it away [Applause] get a throw in looking tidy in possession [Applause] here played out to the right that is lovely [Applause] shapes the suits now who's going to be first to this through it shifted up field that has been cut short [Applause] that looks a foul yeah referee's given it not so much sophistication as doggedness and sheer bloody-mindedness listen he would have been advised to do that as a kid and it's obviously etched in his mind [Applause] [Applause] now this is quite a battle well that goal just serves to give them the momentum and psychological Edge now at this stage but for me they've got to chase a [Music] winner move forward and quickly so concentration levels are very good and so is the commitment this game could yet yield the winner incoming cross and he's there to clear it there's the hit do you just just love the level of intensity here neither is prepared to back down and and to be honest that's how it should [Applause] be long Ball by the goalkeeper into the last 5 minutes [Applause] [Applause] you wonder if that's it now but there may be one more opportunity Peter for a late late steal [Applause] here decent ball appearance is short gets good distance on it Cho boun of passing here really easy on the eye well both sides might have to settle for a draw here although there's still a chance for willas [Applause] fling he's shooting oh the ball's run loose here perfect for the beautiful game temperatures are kind as well no doubt playing a hand in High attendance levels as well as an elevated level of anticipation here surely this is the hot ticket going around in this NE of the woods it surely must be and the match day noise at this place is truly special The Pride the passion it adds to a massive sense of occasion there's the shot had a swing but it wasn't to be I think his mind was made up the way that ball arrived and I certainly admire his willingness to hit the [Applause] [Applause] volley no he wasn't going to let him passed well that was well positioned and and well pinched they can't hurt with their the [Applause] goal so what can they make of this that's a foul three kicks been given can he get onto this Tri a shots a real chance and a real let off [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] hops for safety [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it's loose and there's a race for the ball this approach does pay off here last ditch defending but that'll do and that is as far as they got to [Applause] go well it's not the quickest of starts but what it lacks in intensity certainly is made up by a a large ser in of of discipline and [Applause] organization anything noteworthy in the early part of the match Jim well neither side has really grabbed the initiative I would say both must have come in with a view of of not making any early mistakes so we're seeing some conservatism here and it's lofted through here knocks it away moved forward and quickly so pinches it off him turns back here probably the best option [Applause] oh can he get onto this that's a good intervention that was what he had to make in the face of danger that was [Applause] growing and he just whs it away it's a good spell of possession this cross goes in there and that's been lever [Applause] clear so we're still where we started right now forward and with intent and that's the end of that it all started well enough now that's well seen to [Applause] [Applause] shifted up field defending of the desperate variety well that had the makings of something quite promising but it's fizzled out into nothing and into the Grateful arms of the keeper [Applause] and that has been cleared out for a [Applause] throw Romania have themselves a corner I think yeah to do great lead oh Romania and Romania Take the Lead just so calm under pressure and he managed to Fashion a prim Finish Well he had to deal with an awful lot of unwanted attention but his tenacity would a 1-n lead established well just listen to the reaction I think you can hear the approval from the support all around the stadium [Applause] he's had a short away from immediate danger two sides separated by The Game's only breakthrough moving to this point one n the [Applause] score succumbs to the pressure that a foul yes the referee's given it foul right on the edge of the box it could go either chance to shoot was this but play that far and it's play for [Applause] calmly anticipates send it forward [Applause] [Applause] and he's forced to go back it's an inviting looking pull that oh that's a key interception it's a good run down the left hand side [Applause] gets into some space he's got the sh away ATT just the long outcome yeah he may have snatched it that a bit even though it was quite close [Applause] and the counter is on can he put it away it's there yeah i' call that transition with bite they WN it back and and bit hard [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] that has certainly made things interesting oh look Peter there's a great EV and flow to this clash and it's above all expectations for [Applause] me turns back here probably the best option gently [Applause]
