well good evening to you and welcome on this most perfect evening for a game of football conditions are Jim how are you reading the formation yeah and the two wi players up front can make the system pretty much succeed or fail they'll be quite flexible in their creative movement they like to drift in at times they'll mix their game up and and keep their width and of course they're also expected to track any runs from opposition fullback so they've got quite hardworking jobs but if they can gain a one-on-one Advantage they can dictate so off we go then and that's a throw it Winston Reed well that's where he wants it wood it's a decent ball they've got a corner here TR h no he didn't quite meet it right and it's played forward looking to force his way through ni to get it Forward quickly good challenge he just stood firm Mexico have a free kick [Music] it's one well he should have done better and he knows it good effort very good effort he would have at least wanted to make the keeper work though re play for a throw gous control there Wht it chance not this time I have to commend the wing plate but I have to con them the defending they've got to stop the cross [Music] there are a few waiting for it yeah he's offering an apology for that he needed to deliver a better ball hoist It Forward well played he saw that coming that's a foul three kicks been given well the referee has made it pretty clear now that but this is his last chance well he knew what he was taking on there Peter and and the shots anything noteworthy in the early part of the match Jim well I think both teams probably feel it's it's too early for either to start taking real risks so they're still very much in a phase of of testing the waters and and sizing each other up oh he's broken through lays it out to the wing looks to thread it through defending of the desperate variety thr in forward it goes B out on the left now [Music] here it [Music] comes this is gone that's a foul but he can't say now that he hasn't been warned well I think the referee would have told him to raid it in or or suffer the consequences massive lead attempt just the wrong outcome a more than decent attempt teer hoists it forward that is as far as they got to go [Music] he's got options out wide really good feat now the cross tries to get it clear looking to break out here plenty of endeav from either side but not much of it in the facility of either goal yeah and it's been like a breath of fresh air to their attack I think that switching of flanks has has finally created a new and and for me much more dangerous Dimension it's a great ball plays it back back yeah he's filing there oh he's pulled off a fine save absolutely terrific terrific reflexes goalkeeping at it's very [Music] best wood 's the through ball there always going to be the keepers that had to be more accurate wood he's taken out that'll be a fell [Music] he gets a ticking off and needs to be very careful now yeah and he has to change his ways or this referee could soon change his status teer averted for now tries to get it Forward quickly goalkeeper [Music] ball and it's played forward F to he's not played the ball that's a foul [Music] no messing about just bludge himed way all hit over the line there's the cross and that's been lever clear battles to win it back wood and here's the chance to counter Winston Reed Reed goes [Music] looking and helps available out wide well positioned to make that interception get it into the middle gets up to head it it's good distance on it well they can break here crosses it in toing header now he couldn't get the direction he needed that's a real disappointment as well after he worked so hard to just get into position and get on the end of that in the first place a lot of effort for very little reward re Le to get it Forward quickly it's been intercepted and that will come to nothing Winston [Music] Reed he's gone down but the referee just tells him to get back up [Music] again forward it goes oh no that's not the ball he wanted looks to clip it Forward keeps everyone guessing the defense got the better of him this time but I'm sure he'll go again no question that's a foul [Music] a searching ball out wide and that's Out Of Reach [Music] at the weighted pass and it's got through Great Leap Mexico can't make any sort of inroad despite all this possession wood it's an entertaining game this both teams have had chances but it is still nil nil wood plenty waiting in the middle loses his balance and loses the [Music] ball LED it in gently he's picked him out that's a terrific surge down the right and the keeper in command hoists it forward [Music] he's got options out wide just brushed off the ball there half time getting close now looking for a decent ball in mle's gone that's a foul there could be trouble here but for now the referee is keeping his cards in his pocket H it he scored and it's Mexico who take the lead one delightful ball and

he start with that well here it comes and it's hoisted clear it's nice to get it Forward quickly great strength too strong for his opponent lovely bit of skill there so who's he picking out has no shots good stop that wasn't easy oh that's a sparkling save absolutely sparkling his reflexes work Ultra Sharp and again they run up against stubborn defending hoists it forward that was one quality pass away from being a very decent chance looked very promising Mexico just had to make the ball stick but came up short there's another pass Winston Reed not had too much on [Music] it forward it goes and helps available out wide cleared without complication now the clap to meet it well to get his head on that but couldn't store well being able to generate that amount of activity in the Box means it's hard not to pick someone out [Music] Winston Reed has he found his man wood looks to dink one in Winston Reed tries to get it Forward quickly team still separated by The Game's only goal chance to break dinks one in wood that a foul yes the referee's given it well you might think he got off lightly it is just a verbal warning [Music] accusatory stare there tells the whole story New Zealand seemed to have chosen a tougher route through the middle that was easily R and dealt with Wiston Reed gets into a dangerous [Music] position on the right now what's on that's surely a foul free kick defending of the desperate variety Winston Reed your impression so far Jim well while the temptation's always there Peter I think it it would be ill advised of them to try settle for what they've got well it's good stuff this is better well this isn't the time to talk about risks now Jim is it they just have to hurl everything at it and hope for a break spot on Peter gets it back Winston Reed Reed drives it [Music] forward it's a long Ball but it's not hit its Target hoists It Forward the ball needed to be better there it's a wasted chance and it's paid forward Winston Reed get the bit of his opposite number it's got through real chance it's goal oh listen the writing was on the wall it looked like this was going to happen and it [Music] has yeah looking back at that that's how you play on the counter quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish I thought it was a stunning stunning breaker [Music] that has certainly made things interesting it's pulsating it's absorbing and it's hugely entertaining every single player is giving everything goes to the massive lead he scores into the lead once more a lovely header but really it was all about the delivery look it's it's often the timing of the jump that dictates what you can do with an header and if you get it slightly wrong then you'll struggle but that was beautifully met it really was so we have a breakthrough now how will things develop from here Winston Reed Reed goes looking time to deliver out to the left it goes aimed in towards the center good delivery no joy no that was a slick move and there were several options in the Box to uh to pick out the chances keep on coming they're rewarded another Corner played it short tries to swing it in tries to get it Forward quickly wood Winston Reed forward it goes someone looks like he's in need of protection here yeah his Instinct and the timing of his runs have proven fruitful but they have to give him a harder time like that place it out to the wing there's the ball in dashing forward and pace hoist It Forward Winston Reed and it's played forward Winston Reed he's got options out wide and he just wacks it away New Zealand are actually displaying tremendous fighting Spirit there's a real belief that they can still have a say played into the middle well when the options aren't quite present in the Box it's the Crosser interest to uh to hold on for the support and he heaves it for forward C it out tries to get it Forward quickly and he's going long and it's got through he's C it now it's a free kick he knew what was coming that's a yellow card Winston Reed forward it goes it's a fine run and he's happy to keep going oh he's going to be pulled back for that one tries the buly oh that could cost him I can hide away from how important that was we sit forward gets it up field hoist it forward oh sweet feet hit into the middle gets up to head it and that would have won it he got two ahead of himself there thinking how he could have made things safe and it's played forward looking for space out wide he had a shorts and he's there to clear it Peter they have to fight the onset of desperation and keep enough cool heads to still deliver the final 5 minutes Mexico need to hold on for a few more moments that is terrific skill can he deliver oh that is lovely footwork PS it into the area Mexico can afford to settle on seeing this one out by running down the clock I think Winston Reed forward it goes that's untiy Challenge free kick given has a hit big relief it just needed better contact played in with accuracy well that's where he wants it Winston Reed he gets past his man still going where to next aim in towards the center well it remains to be seen whether they can come up with that little bit of class to rescue this situation and it needs to be any time now really confirmation that there will be 2 minute stoppage time and helps available out wide we can get that clear and they've got it back as soon as they gave it away hit into the middle good take for the keeper he's read that well to goes and we start the second half a solitary goal that has been the crucial difference great run this he's covered quite a distance he start with that well here it comes and it's hoisted clear it's nice to get it Forward quickly great strength two strong for his opponent lovely bit of skill there so who's
