00:00quite in this particular stadium but you know look at it the atmosphere the crowds the picture
00:06of the lions the fans are really up for this and they know they will play a part this will be a
00:11difficult game to get that first goal once they get the first goal and especially if it comes early
00:16i can see sporting going on to win it but we know what italian sides are like especially
00:20juventus as well even though they're not that the classic juventus of old they will be defending
00:26deep they've changed their system but made to what we think will be a three five two and they
00:31will make sure that they will try not to give any chances away at all to this sporting aside that
00:37will try and attack so they stride together into an evening of high stakes high jeopardy
00:4350 000 plus in the jose alvarad this kaleidoscopically colorful arena on a
00:49sublime portuguese spring night and it is on a tantalizing edge
01:04visitors from italy hidden up in the gods
01:19so
01:43more or less drowned by the roaring lions
01:49who is sporting first italian visitors since they themselves were last here
01:57for a champions league tie six and a half years ago but they are without question vip visitors
02:04Red letter night
02:20a sporting start here with nine of the eleven who began the first leg one difference is in
02:24the back three where teenage ivorian usman diamant deputizes for jerry sanjust who pulled up lame
02:32in addition manuel ugarte is back from suspension into midfield so pedro gonsalves pushes forward
02:38and yousef chermiti drops out note that englishman marcus edwards was unwell and
02:43missed sunday's league game but he is good to go again now paulino of course is still missing
03:02the officials are french the referee is 33 year old francois from britain he actually had charge
03:09of chelsea's first leg at real madrid last week and indeed sporting's playoff here against
03:14mitterland in february young man who's made great prompt strides in his business
03:26the event has looked to preserve this slender lead here or indeed add to it with an 11 to
03:31which alexandro is importantly restored after a prolonged period of injury and domestic suspension
03:3719 year old fabio meretti is perhaps the surprise call up in midfield as last week's match winner
03:42federico gatti drops to the bench and there's a notable alteration at the sharp end where
03:47dusan vlaevic is preferred to arcadius millik in addition to which do note that vojtech
03:53is restored in goal after his mildly alarming episode a week ago
04:01pedro gonzalvez has been a standout in this european campaign some
04:06staggering moments not least of course that goal from halfway at arsenal
04:11chiesa is going to be asked to operate from wide left we suspect for juventus
04:16so the sun sinks on a beautiful blue sky day in lisbon
04:31and for two of europe's glitterati here is an appointment with possibility for the right to
04:38a glamorous semi-final against manchester united or severe juventus with a narrow perhaps fortunate
04:43first leg advantage sporting with considerable home advantage and the knowledge scott that they
04:50were by a margin the superior side last week so how are you reading it yeah absolutely i think
04:55what we'll see and what we've just seen in the first 20 seconds is sporting trying to be on the
04:59front foot i think juve will try and just do a bit of match management really first 15 minutes
05:05make sure they don't concede try and be in the game don't give away too many chances but you know
05:12i don't think it's going to be a question of the crowd getting nervous here even if it's nil nil at
05:15half time they'll still be behind this sporting side rumena marine has got them well drilled
05:21especially with this formation inacio has been caught on in here
05:27and it was uh so here's good fortune that d maria ran out of places to go
05:32and what they can't afford to do is give away silly mistakes at the back and give you a chance
05:38to make it two nil on that good you have to make sure to be on the front foot be absolutely
05:42positive but yeah do things at the right time in the right places
05:47there's a shrugged off it by escayo
05:53edwards
05:56so smart and feet-footed santos advancing from left wing back face to face with quadrado it's
06:02fighting delivery much backed by alexandro for the return to the voyage
06:09well it's a great ball in wasn't it and you know watching the first leg last week i feel that nuna
06:14santos has it over quadrado as well so it's going to be an interesting one-on-one battle you know
06:19when you're playing wingbacks and i've played that position before and if both teams are playing that
06:24it's very much a an individual battle one-on-one can you take them the other way are you quicker
06:29than the other person and if you're not then okay you've got to be clever play the one-twos around
06:33them this might be a difficult start they've established nothing more than that
06:43it's simply shifted away by escayo really interesting contrasting coaches tonight we
06:49saw ruben amarin who's established himself very quickly as one of the most coveted coaches on
06:54the continent if he turns this around it'll be one of the most substantial feathers in his cap so
07:00far and of course he goes eyeball to eyeball with the smooth sophisticate who is max allegri
07:08it's interesting reading some of his comments scott he he underlined the need not just to
07:12defend in a way what you've been saying but if they can to try and score again here and that's
07:17what you'd expect managed to say by the way i don't know who's the smoothest out of those two
07:21they both look pretty cool don't they but i mean look here and one thing you can't afford to do
07:26especially as someone like at healthy maria who may be getting on a bit but has been excellent
07:31even more so since the world cup you know don't give those opportunities away but yeah of course
07:36allegri is going to say he's not going to say we're going to sit back for the full 90 minutes
07:39can't afford to do that got to try and attack at the right time but you know he's a typical
07:44italian manager in that sense where he'll get them well organized and they counter-attack at the right
07:49time
07:56quadrado
07:59mario
08:03by mocatelli taken up with purpose by loretti
08:07one of whom is chiesa off to towards de maria
08:23as we observe prior to kickoff get just a little lost on the pressure from
08:26vladovic for that gatti goal last week
08:29but who in fairness and the need for balance has had a terrific run of this competition made
08:36massive saves that year against arsenal which took them through here not least the penalty
08:42save from martinelli now definitely he's had his moments there's a very bad moment in the first leg
08:49though but you get the feeling he would have to make a couple of saves tonight if sporting are
08:54if sporting are going to go through it's interesting it does look like uvea going
09:01with that three up front chiesa's playing more further forward rather than you just
09:05your typical wing back de maria on the other side and blavich as the main number nine
09:13which makes quadrado essentially an orthodox right back
09:24so
09:46always delivers what has met it but his header was a loopy one it's another way that they will
09:52try and score i thought the set pieces for sporting as well as they played last week was
09:56were poor actually but you know with the likes of inacio demand especially that man near quarters
10:03so good in the air he's better on the ground than what you think with his size and the way he kind
10:08of runs but certainly in those set pieces he will be a danger tonight and he's got to be a lot better
10:14last week
10:21so
10:43marisa
10:43so
11:10santos
11:13Sporting into this second leg of a drawn game, the weekend in which
11:22Goncalves missed one penalty and scored another.
11:34We spoke before the game, Peter, about this 15 points to Juve and that being overturned again,
11:40but it's not 100% overturned, is it? So I think Juve still have to, the players and Max Allegra
11:47as well, still have to think, well look, it's gone back to the Italian Football Federation,
11:51we still don't know what's going to happen, we still could be losing, if not the full 15 points,
11:55six to eight or something like that, we might finish outside the top four if that's the case,
12:00so we still have to sharpen our minds on this competition.
12:05It certainly does blur the picture in Serie A and as Scott rightly implies,
12:09it sort of blurs the sense of necessity around this time, this competition for Juventus,
12:15they have at least for now moved up from seventh to third in Serie A,
12:19from 44 points to 59, that's just two behind Lazio in second, and of course it's not just
12:24them who are affected, Milan drop out of the top four as a result of Juventus getting their
12:29points back, Milan who now clearly aspire to being in the Champions League via the Champions League.
12:36They might have to win that competition itself.
12:40Drifted in by Di Maria, protection from Cuartes and Juventus have a corner.
12:46Well this is what Juve have to do, they can't just sit back, you know, Allegra is absolutely
12:50spot on in that sense, if it is going to defend deep for the whole 90 minutes then you all can
12:54see chances, get forward and again we talk about set pieces from Sporting's point of view,
13:00if the ball's delivery is right, there's no reason why Juve can't score on a set piece.
13:07So Bremer, Danilo, both up from centre half, Rabiot has feet and inches too,
13:11Chiesa plays it in, Danilo fell to ground and it was poked home by Rabiot.
13:18Sharp, adept and potentially telling.
13:26Juventus double their lead promptly.
13:37Well the crowd's almost gone silent here, hasn't it?
13:41When we talked about the importance of set pieces and you would think really Sporting have the
13:47the bigger players physically to deal with that but they just didn't deal with that ball that
13:51came in, it was a decent corner. There's Morita going up with Danilo in the first place and no
13:58one reacted it from the Sporting defence, getting rid of it. Cuartes I feel should have done better
14:04there, when the ball comes to Rabiot that's a really good turn and strike. He goes first of all
14:10for the challenge with Cuartes and then it comes to him on his left foot, strikes it, that's a
14:16massive goal it really is. 2-0 and now Juve can make themselves very well organised and difficult
14:22to break down. Rabiot the Frenchman who did get a couple of goals against Maccabi Haifa in the
14:29failed Champions League group stage pre-Christmas, pre-World Cup, has his first European goal since.
14:34He was actually denied what looked a certain goal in defeat to Sassuolo on Sunday by a
14:41brilliant, a wonder save from Consigli in the Sassuolo goal.
14:47But here Antonio Adan was exposed and helpless and Rabiot has what is in all competitions
14:55his 11th goal of this season and Juventus and Allegri are in a good place.
15:00And there is some news of a goal in the game that dovetails with this game and Manchester United have
15:16fallen behind in Spain. Sevilla won Manchester United nil and Mazzeri with that goal after
15:22eight minutes that gives them a 3-2 aggregate lead as things stand Sevilla against Juventus
15:28in the semi-final. A lot of football to be played. A lot.
15:37Now what Sporting have to do now that's a it's a real punch on the nose in the first
15:42round and they just need to get up and make sure that they just get back on the front foot
15:46get hold of the ball. Against someone like him Marcus Edwards on it you know we talked about
15:55him possibly playing the false nine but he can drift out to the right hand side and come in on
16:00his left foot. He needs to step up. Pedro Gonsalves to Trincao. We talked about the midfield of AgatƩ
16:08coming back. Everyone now needs to step up. You're 2-0 down against Juventus. How are you going to respond?
16:17Gonsalves to offer right-footed outswing.
16:22Edwards to retrieve.
16:26To whip one. There was a coming together as Guartez sought to attack it.
16:34The far post but nothing doing.
16:39I mean it's just the worst possible start for Sporting isn't it? The best possible start
16:43for Juve. We talked about how really that the first leg was a little bit unjust in terms of
16:48the scoreline but to get that early goal for Juve and now know that Sporting have to
16:56break them down twice. That's going to be some feats.
17:19Santos.
17:29And in the second time these two great clubs have met home and away in European competition
17:33previously having done so in the Champions League 2017-18. Sporting lost 2-1 in Turin. It was a
17:40one-all draw here. Some big-name goal scorers in that series. Pjanic, Van Dukic, Higuain.
17:51Sheldon Chase was in charge of Sporting then. A team that included Bruno Fernandes.
18:01Only Guartez survives.
18:11The Rangers of course have already lost in this city this season.
18:16Crazy game in the Champions League. 4-3 at Benfica just down the road.
18:25That's how they were 4-1 down at Welstadion. Very very nearly saved it.
18:29Yeah I don't think they expected to be in the European League really did they? I think they thought that they were going to
18:42take the place alongside PSG with Benfica superb winning the group. Obviously they've fallen away
18:48now disappointed of them against Inter and in the league too. When you talk about the league for
18:53Sporting they are having a mountain to climb trying to catch Sporting Braga. So this competition
19:02is absolutely massive for them. We talked about how Juventus may well be. We'll wait and see what
19:06happens with the points deduction. Finishing in the top four in Serie A. Well it's already looking
19:11very difficult for Sporting. Seven points off Braga with just six games to go. They need to
19:18find a way to get back into this game. You think they'd need one before halftime as well.
19:23Santos for the quadrado but not the second time.
19:36He remains adhesive.
19:40It'll be another GonƧalves corner.
19:41Having tried to interfere with the short corner. He's done himself some damage.
19:58Well I thought he did catch him and then Santos held his hands up as if he did.
20:02But if the referee thinks that that's not a foul then play on. It's not a head injury.
20:11Maria who was a teammate once upon a time of Ruben Amorim. They had time together at Benfica.
20:26Yeah don't force it. Don't start playing that game where you know Juve are going to be well
20:42organized and you're trying to force something that's just not on. Keep passing it but pass with
20:47the pace. Too touch. Move Juve around. At the moment they're looking very comfortable Juventus.
20:57Maybe the goal scorer.
21:06Chiesa. Tilted express train. He's knocked off the tracks.
21:13Thrashed away by Escaio.
21:33What's the perception in Lisbon of sporting season? Scott you mentioned that they've got
21:37it all on to try and make the top three which is what counts most of all in the Portuguese.
21:41Is there an understanding? Is there a rationale for the dip? I mean point for point vis-a-vis
21:48last season? Yeah look you know the start of the season Ruben Amorim he was okay with letting
21:55Paulinho go. He knew that that was more than possible. He wasn't happy with Matheus Nunes
21:59going and that's your central midfield ripped out. You can see he wasn't happy at the start
22:05of the campaign and they didn't start well. Gotta give credit to Braga and how well they're doing
22:11because they are getting into the big boys. Edwards has made fantastic progress and it's against the
22:18post from very close range and now they're screaming penalty. Rabiot the offender. It is a penalty.
22:33And a potential route back for sporting.
22:36I talked about how he needed someone like Marcus Edwards to get on the ball show his
22:40great pace and trickery and that's exactly what he did. He gets in behind very nearly a goal there
22:47an own goal. Rabiot you don't make those type of challenges you don't know who's behind you.
22:52The experience he's got he should know and Ugarte using his experience reading the situation
23:00bringing in the tackle and that is a penalty. And just where Juve were absolutely spot on with
23:07their tactics in the first 16-17 minutes. This really gives sporting a massive chance of getting
23:14back into the tie. And it is the young Englishman Marcus Edwards who has taken the ball. I mentioned
23:18GonƧalves scored one and missed one at the weekend. Edwards
23:23manifesting his broad shoulders here. There's a lot on this.
23:30A huge kick of the ball. Face to face with Wojciech Szczesny.
23:40Marcus Edwards. Great poise.
23:45Fabulous uplifting noise.
23:48And restored hope for the fans of sporting.
23:55And listen to the crowd now. Absolutely delighted with that. And really it came out of nothing. It
24:01was poor defending from Juve on many levels. Rabiot you can't make that kind of dive.
24:08Especially when you're in the box. And fair play to Marcus Edwards to play the ball down the middle.
24:13You need some bottle to do that. You're expecting the goalkeeper to dive out of the way.
24:20And yeah fair play to the Englishman. It's a really good finish that
24:24showing a lot of courage and character. First of all taking it.
24:28You're right Peter. It's a really good finish.
24:30And it's a really good finish. It's a really good finish.
24:34Showing a lot of courage and character. First of all taking it.
24:37You're right Peter. So much on that particular moment.
24:40And now that the whole momentum shift has happened now.
24:46His third European goal of the season. He scored big ones away from home in the
24:49Champions League at Eintracht Frankfurt. And of course at Tottenham in October.
24:55Tottenham particularly saw one for fans of that club.
25:00I saw him slip through their fingers. He's a big talent. He really is.
25:06And if he can produce the levels that he can get to on a consistent basis.
25:10I can definitely see him back in the Premier League.
25:22So Juve just need to kill the game now. Just make little fouls.
25:26Stop this momentum. Try and quieten the crowd up.
25:30They did in the first 15 minutes. As I say the tactics and the execution
25:34of the tactics were spot on. And what is more of a 4-3-3 formation.
25:39Rather than 3-5-2 we thought might have been.
25:45It's obvious it's an uncharacteristic giveaway.
25:52Especially precise.
25:56So
26:27there's Guy. Taken by Edwards.
26:33It's Guy O.
26:40Cao couldn't plot a route around Chiesa.
26:44Locatelli I beg his pardon with the challenge.
26:51In a sense his feelings got caught.
26:53And he definitely got caught. The question is was it intentional?
26:56I think there's a little bit of movement there from Rabiot's left elbow out towards Santos.
27:02Out towards Santos.
27:21Forward here for Vlaevic.
27:33GonƧalves.
27:48I wouldn't be kicking the ball out Peter. Again it's not a head injury.
27:59Just back from a suspension.
28:03He started the journey towards another one.
28:11Now I'm not sure he makes a great deal of contact but you can't be diving in like that.
28:17It looks worse than what it is but he is an all-action midfielder.
28:23One thing you're sure of him that one he'll happy be happy to get on the ball.
28:28Two he'll run until he drops. Three he'll probably end the game with the yellow card.
28:36Three has certainly come to pass. He's not one of the six players starting the game
28:42within a yellow card of missing the first leg of a semi-final.
28:46Two of those in the sporting team Ignacio and Guy O are four in the Juventus 11.
28:57Just need to keep the ball now. Don't give the ball away. As I say the crowd are up.
29:04In terms of the tie in sporting getting them back into it you know one one's better than a
29:08nil-nil because they've scored the most recent goal. So everyone's up for it now.
29:14Juve just need to use their experience and make as many passes as possible.
29:18With the steal and he's allowed to progress and he's hit one high.
29:24What they don't need to do is give the ball away in the central midfield.
29:28Give sporting the chance to run at them.
29:32Lugate is almost everything. One thing he's not is an actual goal scorer.
29:38Hasn't scored at all this season. I think his only sporting goal was
29:42last year's run to success in the Portuguese League Cup.
29:51One and only one. It's nearly two seasons now since joining from Manukau.
30:02So he scored one in his time in a sporting shirt. Yes.
30:05One more than you and I. Correct. Well one more. Well if you say so.
30:12So he's not known for his goal scoring but he is a crucial player in the central midfield for
30:22sporting. This tie if it was finally poised at the start of the game it's even more so now it's
30:32nice and open. You get the feeling that if Juve play the right ball in
30:37they will get another chance at another goal.
30:41Is there a moment you look back at you think I might have scored?
30:45Was there a glaring moment? Because funny enough I've never been in front of goal in a sporting shirt.
30:52No nor me and yet we're still only one behind Lugate.
30:58There's the massive moment for sporting tonight. Marcus Edwards with a really cool penalty
31:04to level it up on the night.
31:26Scorer and conceder of the penalty.
31:34So
31:54how tough longevity is to find in the Italian game that really is quite something.
31:59Chinkau face-to-face with Bremer.
32:04He went to his Ascaio and his first touch was just thick enough to invite the challenge from Moretti.
32:29So
32:43against Di Maria and Juventus are at least briefly off the hook.
32:50Quadrado cushions it out and Di Maria now can progress.
32:54Chiesa outside of him.
33:01That's his job. That's what he does. He reads the game so well.
33:05Brilliant, brilliant defending and that's what Juve will look to try and do.
33:09Counter-attack quickly and then try and be clinical in front of goal. Lugate didn't let that happen.
33:23Moretti, Rabiot. Quadrado joining from full back.
33:45Rabiot, Di Maria. Quadrado, Zlajevic. Di Maria let it slip away and she doesn't often do.
34:09Better though, wasn't it, from Juve? Good passing.
34:14You know with this 4-3-3 system they should be able to outnumber and censure midfield for sporting.
34:19They should be able to get the width and really go at the full backs.
34:24So it's a fascinating game tactically.
34:39Here's Chiesa.
34:50Flags up and I can tell you about a goal in the Europa Conference League
34:53and it has gone against West Ham. One all from the first leg of their quarterfinal.
34:59They trail best part of half an hour in
35:02at the London Stadium. 1-0 on the night now and 2-1 on aggregate.
35:11I'm not happy about that.
35:15I don't suppose the punters are either.
35:19Because without question that European run has been the uptick in a sometimes hard season.
35:26I'll say it's papered over the cracks, Peter.
35:31A long way to go.
35:36Trincao, has he got a corner out of that? Not quite.
35:56And of course we saw a little bit of in the Premier League with Wolves.
36:05An eventual player on his day.
36:07Here's Nuno Santos.
36:09Trincao.
36:11AgatƩ.
36:13Nuno Santos.
36:15Matisse in quadrado.
36:18Nuno Santos.
36:20Matisse in quadrado.
36:26Missed it out by Danilo.
36:42Diamant.
36:44Descaio.
36:48Nuno Santos.
36:50Defended by Verretti
36:52but he ran into a congested midfield
36:54out of which AgatƩ strides.
36:56Nuno Santos.
37:02It's flicked off Locatelli
37:04and gone behind for a sporting corner.
37:06Yeah, good defender from quadrado there.
37:08I think that, like Nuno Santos feels he's got the beating of him.
37:12And he does really well.
37:14And in the end
37:16And it just comes off Locatelli, Chesney not able to get there and again set pieces so important
37:22These small details a bit of decent delivery like we saw down the other end
37:28Big moment can happen
37:37Oh my god Solves
37:46Oh
38:02Yes
38:16Yes
38:21Solves it's another corner
38:33It's going to turning up the wick in the last 10-12 minutes up to half time here
38:40They have half the two goals have sit
38:43And they are showing the ambition required to wipe it out all together look at that five corners to one
38:50And again by gonzalvez stevens boy that's close
38:56I was waiting for that side netting to just bowl to them
39:00Really good header and again, we talked about set pieces and the height that sporting have
39:06I'll tell you what chesney is absolutely beaten
39:10Just the wrong side of the post for the sporting fans just the right side of the post
39:16for the uv fans
39:18We were nowhere near that
39:23It's only his second start in european football
39:28I did play from the beginning the second leg of the arsenal tie
39:33He's never scored for this club
39:35since his
39:36move from danish football
39:39Switzerland at the end of january
39:51And here he is again
39:54And there is certainly wind in the sporting sail here
39:59Fabulous momentum and quite an adventure this from dear monde
40:05Wants to steal it back from rabiot
40:09Tell his clearance
40:13I don't know where to look to calm it down, but the referee is indicating handball
40:22Against the puzzled blurvich
40:28He's not having that but he's right he's absolutely right
40:39Oh
40:47Sometimes it can happen though peter, you know in stadiums like this where the crowd are 100 behind their team
40:55Half looks like something referee get influenced
41:01It's obvious
41:05Good spot by alexandro
41:09And running out of play
41:22I'll take
41:39So
41:41We're sporting this is a first european quarterfinal since they lost to atletico madrid at this stage of this competition in 2018
41:52Miss kiesa de maria quadrado
42:02De maria
42:05Behind by agate
42:09Seeking the first semi-final since 2012
42:16But over his dead body
42:19So
42:34Into the air by dear monde again by alexandro
42:42Comes away by anasio being gathered by rabiot
42:46And
42:48The retis cross beyond flyovich came to angel de maria
42:53If you find it against this guy and this guy who has taken that foot in the face
42:59He's okay. Yeah, first of all, he did well they knew he had to get his arms behind his body
43:05I mean, I hate that defending but he certainly had to in that particular position
43:09And then just be brave
43:11And yeah, he certainly got that right in the face
43:14Body positioning, right?
43:16Great defending
43:24De maria's corner got a palm on it
43:30Edwards chasing it out
43:32quadrado covering
43:34Edwards penalized quick chance to tell you about upcoming attractions premier league half past 11 saturday

43:43And amongst a whole program of premier league games to highlight clearly next midweek is manchester city against arsenal
43:50Possible title decider wednesday seven o'clock on one
43:53Followers of the portuguese league will want to be with benfica and estoril next sunday from six on four
44:00And the biggie in syria this coming weekend is juventus against the leaders napoli seven o'clock sunday
44:14Foreign
44:21It's a small win by alexandro who's denied all the progress by ugarte
44:31Morita
44:33Straddling away from de maria
44:36So
44:47Third against first now, isn't it?
44:53Of course those great north-south battles
44:59Culture clash of a football match
45:06I watched the maradona documentary
45:09I was on the plane not that long ago for the second time amazing. Absolutely amazing
45:14To think how well napoli have done this season in syria
45:18I'm sure that'd be a big blow. They're out of the champions league, but still
45:22For them to win the title. It looks like they will
45:26amazing achievement
45:29Foreign
45:38Di maria rolled up here for fly bitch
45:48Gravio
45:52Di maria
45:59Alexandro
46:01Scooped up for kiesa
46:04Who was offside
46:05It's a better reaction now from uva though since the the sporting goal
46:09The first next 10 15 minutes. It was all sporting. This is what they have to do. Just get a bit of territory
46:16Get the ball away from their own goal and look as if they're half threatening
46:22Again we talked about the start of the game. They can't just sit back and do nothing
46:25It's it's pretty much as you were at the start of the game
46:29And tackles like that will certainly mean a lot it's a good battle between those two
46:43I could tell he steered artfully out for di maria
46:48Driver in asio
46:52Gravio
46:55Di maria charged out by an asio alexandro
47:18Nursing their lead up to halftime here
47:24So
47:38I've been just seeking the first europa league semifinal since 2014 when
47:43Also having dropped out of the champions league
47:45They beat traps on spore fiorentina and then leon in the quarterfinal and lost to ben fika in the semifinal
47:54Ventus were actually in lisbon nine years ago this week losing that tie to ben fika
48:01In spite of carlos tevez goal
48:14And they've been haunted by this terrible run of defeats in major finals
48:19champions league runners up in 97 98 03 15 and 17
48:25So
48:27Seeking their first european prize since way back in 1996 27 years ago
48:35The champions league in rome, that's the only lifted it. It's your look at the ali
48:40What a man
48:47Edwards
48:50So
49:05They need to make sure they keep this scoreline to halftime
49:10They'll see this first half job done despite conceding that goal
49:14As I say it's as you were
49:17So
49:19Now the psychology of this tie would change is sporting well to get one before halftime themselves
49:27Edwards
49:39Three minutes of stoppage time
49:41Me
49:48Morita
50:03Edwards
50:06So
50:21Solvay's centro well up
50:25So
50:34He is everywhere, isn't he
50:48That's good defenders look at the numbers one two, three four
50:51You may defend there's just one sporting attacker in there and he's at the far post as well
50:56Someone's got to get across that near post
51:21Oh
51:44The story of the first half has been told
51:51So
52:12On the face of it by fly rich, but he is penalized
52:15In the final seconds of the half sporting have the opportunity for one last thrust
52:20Dear mom's
52:30Morita edwards
52:37Edwards unisantos
52:42Half time as you were
52:45The first half tale of riches to rags for ravio
52:50Who stabbed juventus into a prompt lead doubling their overall advantage?
52:55in the tie
52:56only 10 minutes later to
52:58Make a clumsy challenge on ugarte and yield the penalty which marcus edwards tucked away for sporting
53:04And so the one goal gap is re-established
53:08In lisbon, it is 1-1 on the night
53:10And halfway through the second leg 2-1 for juventus on agrabah
