see that we have a good contingent of visiting fans by the look of it too the atmosphere is amicable the conditions do bring out the best in everyone and I think we're all looking forward to a Feelgood game well the pre-match buildup has been fantastic now the game itself and already we're underway here Jim who do you pick out as the telling individual today yeah Jamz Rodriguez he's just got a wonderful left foot it's as simple as that he can put the ball on a sixin from 50 plus yards or whipping across right onto the toe of a striker needless to say he's also got an he's had a hit and the keeper passes the test well what can I say truly wonderful goalkeeping [Applause] [Applause] they've played it short oh sweet feet in with the challenge Colombia can counter promptly here yeah he's called him up for that challenge [Applause] [Applause] Polo and that is out of [Applause] play now has he got the beating of his marker here and that's been leave it clear back in possession and ready to go again Corda looking to break out here that's a foul simple decision for the referee [Applause] [Applause] played out towards the right wing last ditch defending but that'll do [Applause] pra James now it's Flores lapadula and the counter is on [Applause] moved forward and quickly so knocks it away Hames [Applause] Rodriguez Diaz shifted up field for [Applause] Lura Diaz nice control and that's aimed into the middle and he just just whacks it away and now the breakway now it's [Applause] Flores cayen pass is coming off in quick succession here Polo some good work on the right flank here that's G for a throw [Applause] in ah such a clever touch Corda and the counter could be on for Colombia now muscular approach does pay off here [Applause] Diaz look Kumi for Lura sends it Forward oh can he get on to [Applause] this now it's Corda and that's been one straight back good spot he's seen the Run has a go now who's going to be first to this and he's there to get it away chooses to go Cross Field cha and here's hamers he's got aide a goal well he should have done better and he knows it his reputation is better than what we've just seen Jes Rodriguez qua it's hamz and for a moment time Stood Still well the work rate to win the ball back was fantastic and had set up the opportunity that's great [Applause] [Applause] effort Polo turns back here probably the best cayen and it's played forward CA Sanchez Mika and Diaz he's felt that hasn't he oh he's taken out that'll be a foul it's not taken him long and that's going to be a [Applause] booking oh he's been flattened there expertly cut out really nicely done but he was clearly disappointed with that pass Colombia clearly didn't help themselves by telegraphing that one it was always going to be intercepted gently done and that's the end of that it all started well enough moved on forwards great defending strong and determined forwards and with intent well that was well positioned and and well pinched they can't hurt with their backs to go the ball is loose and the chase is on now it's quarterb a real chance to break showing great feet there oh good determined running there but one back by the defense oh I was on the edge of my seat then he just took on one too many he's played it long and he cuts out the supply hops for safety I wonder what you've seen Jim Over the early moments of the game 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 [Applause] here lapadula looks to get on the end of this that's clear cut it's a free kick [Applause] [Applause] cayen moved on forwards and that's put paid to a promising [Applause] move and it's lapadula out to the left it [Applause] goes cordiva oh they could break here Polo it looked promising but the final ball is just not quite right still goalless qua cayen excellent challenge there uncompromising [Applause] oh it's a promising build out this plenty of really nice passing Corda moved forward and quickly [Applause] so Flores and he has been fouled there well it was deliberate it was cynical and you have to understand the frustration of of been denied a clear opportunity but it had to be done just a talking to I think yes it is [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he's gone for the shots it's loose and there's a race for the [Applause] ball and a h gets good distance on [Applause] it Peru finding their passes [Applause] how many interceptions have we seen now someone's got to up the quality and and set an example qua nurma Colombia looking to pass their way through and here's the chance to counter and it's played forward Vargas can claim that Lumi it's an inviting looking ball that oh that's a key interception looking for the runner spread neatly a corner it is then [Applause] Great Leap he's missed but not by that far yeah he may have snatched it down a bit even though it was quite close [Applause] cayen shifted up field now that's well seen [Applause] too LMA sends it Forward away from immediate danger cayen and he's forced to go back gently done oh can he get onto this Sanchez spots it and [Applause] intercepts now it's ctera oh that's a foul three kicks been given looking to hit the front [Applause] line it's a throw [Applause] in tries to get it clear it's gone out for a throw [Applause] in how Jes Rodriguez forwards and with intent Zambrano gets it away but it's lapadula Sanchez with the challenge and he has given away a free kick [Applause] done [Applause] delicately the pressing is intense and it's paid off over to the left danger averted for now [Applause] and here's La lapadula it's R loose who's going to get there lapadula really needed to concentrate on protecting the ball then again he was being very closely Marshal and he skipped past his man moika gets across to intercept that cordiva [Applause] Lura cayen Corda oh red nice interception HS for safety cayen lapadula is offering an apologetic gesture of sorts ah that just required a bit more oomph to reach its Target [Applause] yeah that's top defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities cayen shifted up field Mika turns back here probably the best option qua oh that's really good play on the right he's driving forward now it's cordiva [Applause] Diaz poo moved forward and quickly so James Rodriguez played out to the Left Flank he's in plenty of space here they've got a corner [Applause] here Zambrano with the [Applause] clearance l [Applause] that's a [Applause] throw that's going to go a long [Applause] way Polo and here's Pula oh strongly challenged there yeah he's failed him there [Applause] [Applause] looking tidy in possession here Peru have a free Kick the ref's been lenient here I doubt he'll get too many more chances yeah well they were exposed and and vulnerable and he knew he had to do something to prevent a goal then [Applause] going for goal oh the ball's run loose [Applause] [Applause] here no he's not getting his way this time time and there's his chance to lead the counter passing nice and neat passing is Diaz oh just lacked a decent finish Diaz knew immediately he didn't catch that to his liking and his face was a a picture of dissatisfaction [Applause] cayen HS for safety cayen sends it forward lapadula now he's off and [Applause] running Lumi moved on forwards well he had a really good run at goal there but the defense just weren't going to let him past played back into the center Diaz defender on the back foot passes short and sharp now it's cordiva Diaz that's good play oh it's played into the area I think that's a corner yes it is massive leap there are attempts just the wrong outcome a more than decent attempt Peter [Applause] [Applause] Polo Flores he's a sharp hit of ball here moika fura and it's played forward he can get that [Applause] clear flings in a big chance it's loose and there's a race for the ball and that was very necessary that's an excellent interception mve forward and quickly so now looking to orchestrate a counter [Applause] [Applause] CA so nil nil still but both sides have had their moments that is a brilliant interception well the ball just didn't work out for the run that he made ah quality deserted them when they really needed it and they're back on the ball again Corda spread out to the left oh lovely bit of [Applause] skill Lura does well to get it back a he's had it taken off him now who's going to be first to this m hea and here's hams great chance in for the followup goal Columbia hammers at his razor sharp best there oh players like this fell almost have a six sense to get themselves in such great coaching positions how quick-minded was that [Applause] [Applause] deadlock broken it's 1 n still a fragile lead though they can't afford to sit on this forwards and with intent that's a little off [Applause] Target Lura [Applause] moved on forwards well time excellent interception but he's forced to go back well this man's contribution is as you would expect proving terrific well having that sort of player in your side is reassuring because the rest of the team knows he can make his influence count at any stage it's simply part of his package when he really wants to this fell scores that a foul yes the referee's given [Applause] it that's a case of Crossing in Hope and unless they provide some more options it'll be more m and [Applause] hit Flores lapadula now it's [Applause] Flores it's an inviting looking ball that and he's had it nicked away ups for safety [Applause] cayen [Applause] cayen James Rodriguez and it's Hames Rodriguez just eases him off the ball to [Applause] lapadula shifted up [Applause] field [Applause] pra James Rodriguez qua cleared without [Applause] complication jamus Rodriguez delivers Diaz nice bit of skill and he's away stood up well to him [Applause] there [Applause] Polo [Applause] cayen goes forward lapadula might just make this Polo sends it forward and that's been leave it [Applause] [Applause] clear laula now it's [Applause] cordiva and that'll be the last Act of the first half steady solid and for now where they want to be just one goal and they have it good effort from both sides but at halime it is 1 n not the most convincing of displays they could certainly do much better than this they'll want to keep things simple build up their confidence and not rush into mistakes and the game has already resumed here Peru don't need to press the panic button just yet they may have to tweak their their setup first if they don't grab an early goal in this second half they can't hold back though some Resolute defending there now the counter proves too [Applause] strong [Applause] cayen Polo gently done it's an inviting look ball that moika and Diaz Cordova turns back here probably the best option pass is coming off in quick succession here moika Sanchez Lura Lumi played up towards the front line played back to the [Applause] goalkeeper that is forced to go back and it's played forward Diaz ups for safety oh it's a promising build out this plenty of really nice passing turns back here probably the best option cayen played in with accuracy he's had a fair tumble under that challenge Mika andaz Mika lukumi for Lura sends it [Applause] Forward pinches it off him and that has been clubbed [Applause] away qua nice sequence of passes this IIA looking to pass their way through climbs up big really well taken goal a two goal cushion and it's looking [Applause] safe a lovely header but really it was all about the delivery yeah he makes those runs with with great stealth and a ghostlike arrival to get his head to the ball [Applause] so that's two now without reply we're looking at a very different game now the command has been established Polo cayen shifted up [Applause] field cha moved forward and quickly so could move upper gear here now that's been [Applause] intercepted driven forward a or be it perhaps [Applause] momentary qua Lumi he's gone direct here oh can he get on to this Colombia couldn't really be more water tied in Midfield not a trickle is getting [Applause] through now it's Flores over to the left oh nice touch and it's lapadula and he's heaved it away and that has left him in a [Applause] heap laula so what can they make of this James Rodriguez threats one in Mika lovely feat there's the shots a potential goal of the Season Contender if only moika just backs himself every time give him a challenge and he'll rise to it [Applause] and he just whacks it away and the shots [Applause] tries to get it clear and now a sudden chance to counter moved on forwards excellent challenge there uncompromising Lumi [Applause] well the way this game is offering less possession they'll need to have a a very good conversion rate played long and they could be in here and here's lapadula now then the balls come loose that's very neat [Applause] out to the left it goes Flores toing header decent hits it's off Target and by quite away [Applause] Diaz looking for options for movement that'll be a throw in [Applause] and that is out and behind it's a good [Applause] [Applause] block no messing about just bludgeoned the way Peru can start a counter here oh just skips past his man and it's lapadula there's the hit a real chance and a real let off [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] fiddles it through now it's Hames Rodriguez oh that was vital oh it's come loose [Applause] Corda out to the right James [Applause] Rodriguez Peru needed that they really needed it a super tackle they were outnumbered and under the cost that had to be spot on and it was forwards with intent Colombia are more than happy to defend deep now they've decided that it's not worth taking any more risks Colombia on the other hand left with no choice but to risk everything and to go for it Mika Diaz cayen it's an inviting looking ball that clearly not happy with that Sanchez gently done played out to the right now here's the delivery and he was alert to it now it's Flores and they can counter [Applause] here now it's Flores [Applause] and the [Applause] shot oh that's well [Applause] spotted [Applause] Christa Sanchez [Applause] play towards the front line and it's Jamz Rodriguez played out to the Left Flank Diaz oh he's triy to skip past his man well read and the danger is averted Diaz [Applause] and it's James Rodriguez Diaz good challenge excellent challenge lapadula is on the end of some really unwanted attention yeah he's one of these players Peter who plays the percentage game if you keep playing him in something's bound to happen [Music] Lumi [Applause] Sanchez [Music] Lumi fora lukumi nice interception his positioning was spot on Corda strong running down that Left Flank some excellent tackling here and that one a perfect [Applause] [Applause] example [Music] [Applause] Lumi oh easy pickings there [Applause] oh really good feat played it he's got the Sun away oh that probably deserve better well it really shouldn't be allowed to happen again it needs to be dealt with at source [Applause] [Applause] moved on forwards nice interception well timed well they've got it back in a [Applause] hurry moved forward and quickly so now it's ctera and he's had it nicked away it's great defensive work it doesn't take too much imagination to guess what would have happened otherwise oh look his determination needed to be greater than the obstacle he was faced with and it [Applause] wasn't back into the middle oh good spread play back in out to the right [Applause] tries to crash through the challenge but no lofted up field well he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there encouraged the pass with an intelligent run but the pass just lacked Pace hits one they've got it back to within one interesting well there's always a chance of being caught like that when you surrender the football [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] we have got ourselves a game here well it was important they didn't get ahead of themselves and lose their discipline this game plan could near well reward him with an equalizer he's shifting through the gears here cross goes in there that's too far for anyone [Applause] cayen and he's forced to go back and that is played back to front that's been cut out well played [Applause] defending of the desperate variety well that tackle was certainly sturdy yeah that does look a foul referee's given a free kick and he has shown him a yellow card [Applause] [Applause] and they're not going to make any further progress now too and it's been taken straight [Applause] back turns back here probably the best option Corda no he wasn't going to let him past moika cuts it out Cordoba just eases him off the [Applause] ball chance to [Applause] break Peru finding their passes Peru really might just end up kicking themselves after that that could well have been it lukumi shifted up field oh it's a promising build out this plenty of really nice passing nicely intercepted Diaz there's a real appetite from them to finally put this game to bed but will they and the [Applause] shots sends it Forward oh that is a nice touch skims one in well there's plenty to like about this approach get your head down keep buttling away and eventually things might change for you [Applause] moika Lumi Pala qua oh he's fisted It Forward calmly anticipates [Applause] and he's got his Crossing and it's hoisted clear Flores bit of an appeal but nothing doing Peru really are showing all the necessary urgency but it's potency they need [Applause] [Applause] now it's Flores aimed in towards the [Applause] center interesting [Applause] ball keep calm and carry on that's the job in a nutshell now [Applause] and it's played [Applause] forward he is just caressing the [Applause] ball now it's Flores it's run loose here showing Good Feet cleared away inward up to meet it good delivery but no joy you really could have done with engaging those crossers much higher up the pitch there this isn't good defending HS for safety Flores gets his pass away Peru really might just end up kicking themselves after that that could well have been it time for a change in Personnel you know he can't really have any complaints at being withdrawn there must have been at least five efforts at goal that were underwhelming cayen the final moments of a game that has been pretty compelling overall at least they're going about it as they should having brought this on [Applause] themselves up towards the front line well played that has snuffed out the danger [Applause] cayen Flores Peru really are showing all the necessary urgency but it's potency they need Peru looking to pass their way through Guerrero stood up well to him there Peru of a simple task to find something sustain now and keep the pressure on that has been cut short Peru need to give it everything they have kitchen and sink included not too much more here than seeing out time and time is very nearly seen out cayen ad vinula who set up one goal so far now it's Flores oh he's found support out wide Sanchez knocks it away Peru making consecutive changes [Applause] here it's run loose who's going to get there cany finish [Applause] last ditch defending but that'll do and it's Kio [Applause] I thought it was going to happen then how many more chances can they realistically expect [Applause] now oh that's a key interception whistle gone that's a foul [Applause] Kio a lovely fedi is such a good mover oh that's delightful Peru could have here their final chance that Qui it goes [Applause] spread out to the [Applause] left he's tried one oh that is rather Wayward two minutes to be added on well they shouldn't be doling at this stage they need to get the ball in the mixer and quickly Andre Kio nice physical challenge now it's [Applause] Corda Guerrero a real chance to break [Applause] and here's Kio oh that's [Applause] neat and here's the chance to counter Mika he's got away defending of the desperate variety and that's that [Applause]
