gasman to jump in front and the keeper did more than enough [Applause] whipped in by griesman and collected tidily he had plenty to think [Applause] about and they continue to advance and a lot of options here and Neymar petta oh it's a goal and that gives them the advantage will they be able to keep it well just look how he holds off the defender he keeps his balance and he's still hits the target what a good goal that is [Applause] [Applause] what a big moment in the dying Embers will it prove decisive here Olivier ziru France moving the ball forward what can they do from here well well
