  • last week
Transcript
00:30so it's a change midfield for Italy but for Uruguay it's very much a change side
00:36Trevor Francis a lovely start and a tremendous atmosphere
00:40yes good passing movement there from the Italian
00:48still was a lot of movement from that wall
00:52Baggio
00:54great knock
00:57smile from Alves relief from the Uruguayans but disallowed
01:06was that an indirect free kick it was and he hit it straight into the net
01:10the goalkeeper just left him alone gave him a smile and said thanks a lot we loved that one
01:15so similar to the England situation where an indirect free kick
01:18so similar to the England situation where an indirect free kick
01:21was knocked straight into the net and it didn't count
01:34Francesca lead trying to get into the game Saldaña
01:40another good ball for his captain and that's Italy in possession again
01:48Barresi and Ferri
01:54looking for Baggio to go wide Baggio with Saldana
01:57it's quick Baggio and it's a good ball from Barresi
02:00Baggio's passed him Maldini taking a defender away
02:06square here is D'Agostini
02:09particularly well done and the numbers of Uruguayans close it down
02:22Di Giustini
02:24D'Agostini challenging
02:26Giannini
02:27Bertini
02:30particularly well done and the numbers of Uruguayans close it down
02:34and the numbers of Uruguayans close it down
02:42Ruben Pereira for Uruguay
02:45does well
02:48coming to the return
02:50good play
02:54Aguilera just inside him
02:56but the Italians are closing it down as well
02:58and that's a free kick
02:59Ruben Pereira getting the foot in
03:01and
03:05indulging a little waving
03:07and that might be half an opening here
03:09but Aguilera can't get his man
03:10and Aguilera's got in
03:14nice play
03:16by Uruguay
03:17good save by Zenga
03:19hasn't conceded a goal yet this season
03:21but suddenly the speed of Aguilera
03:23got behind the Italian defence
03:25and they were nearly caught up
03:30so free kick
03:32to the Italians
03:34with Berti and Maldini over the far side
03:38and a chance for Scalacci
03:40to have a dig
03:43I don't know whether there was a target there for him
03:45but I don't think he much liked the ball that was given to him Trevor
03:48no I think he's complaining there that
03:50as the ball is laid off of Giannini
03:52it's just a little bit too short
03:53and it invites the tackle
04:04and there is the whistle
04:06thankfully for the end of the first half
04:08they came here for a banquet
04:10and they've had so far only scraps
04:13and fairly untidy scraps at that
04:16the Uruguayans to their credit
04:18if you like that sort of thing
04:19have frustrated Italy
04:21and they've knocked them out of their rhythm
04:23and the Italians are finding it
04:26very very difficult to get forward into striking positions
04:29so
04:30the halftime score here at the Olympic Stadium
04:33is a barren nil-nil
04:39welcome back to the Olympic Stadium
04:41with Uruguay kicking off the second half here
04:44still no goals
04:45but here in fact we've been invaded by a swarm of
04:48summer flies and really they're a blooming nuisance
04:50and on the field the Italians will be rating the Uruguayans
04:53in pretty well the same category
04:55so they're going to have to do it
04:58pretty well the same category
05:00so the Uruguayans are doing quite a bit of biting
05:02the foul count in the first half was
05:0419 against the Uruguayans
05:0610 against the Italians
05:09so that meant a lot of work for George Courtney
05:11and a lot of frustration for everybody
05:14no substitutions yet by either side
05:19although many wanting and wanting
05:23including Villalia there
05:26and it's all about winning
05:27the crowd now getting behind them
05:29they really haven't been too happy about the first half
05:32Zenga fielding a shot from Pereira
05:41and despite the promptings of Berezi from the back
05:45and hard work of Giannini
05:47Scalacci and Baggio really didn't have too many openings at all
05:52but plenty of these
05:54well certainly in the first half the Italians have been disappointed
05:56but also the crowd have
05:58I felt tonight that the crowd were
06:00just weren't as they normally were
06:02as if they were expecting an automatic victory
06:05it was going to be easy for the Italians
06:07at this stage of the competition there are no easy games
06:11so Ferri knocks it across
06:13so Baggio has come out of the defences
06:15under pressure immediately from Pereira
06:17and then again from
06:19Ostellata
06:21Bergomi tries to get one in
06:23Di Napoli does well with it
06:25away by Gutierrez
06:27Francescoli picks it up
06:31and gets a free kick
06:33no gets nothing
06:34looks inquiringly even indignantly at the referee
06:38but that was a giveaway
06:40now Fonseca with Aguilera just in front of him
06:43Fonseca's not willing to get away from him
06:45Ruben Pereira is over the far side
06:47can he get a ball across
06:50Ruben Pereira can't get there
06:52Aguilera and Francescoli challenging
06:58and the referee rules that
07:01that was a kick for the Italians
07:05Bergomi
07:10Aguilera now
07:12Giannini now in midfield
07:14trying to get a bit of space
07:16Ferri under a little bit of pressure
07:18but not with Parisi supporting him
07:21it's not very easy for him
07:24and through the middle to Scalacci
07:26Scalacci with a header
07:28like a clutch
07:30a ball through the middle
07:32that looked for the moment as if the Uruguayans didn't want it
07:34but Scalacci
07:36a man with a real hunger from Sicily
07:38got onto it and was very unlucky not to score
07:41it's a great save by the goalkeeper
07:44and great thinking by Scalacci
07:48but
07:50the hand never went to the pocket again
07:58well Ferri is behind there
08:01Giannini on the ball
08:05looking for the drive
08:07and what a great save
08:11Di Agostini
08:13the midfield player who
08:15gets goals from surprising positions
08:18a really powerful dig
08:20and the goalkeeper a marvellous save
08:22but he's hurt
08:26well you see Di Agostini has stricken the ball magnificently
08:29and that's a fantastic save there from Alves
08:31to keep Uruguay at the game
08:34beautiful hit, great save
08:37Chesterley moving around
08:40Scalacci
08:42for the second is in there back in
08:44comes up with a right hander
08:46and it's fouled again
08:59kick
09:00for the second
09:05nice touch by Faccio
09:07Di Agostini
09:10saves this one again
09:16well the man from Sicily struck like lightning
09:23and what an amazing goal that was
09:25from one end of the bridge to the other
09:28and now it's all colour
09:30and passion
09:32and commitment from the Italians because they're on their way
09:35that ball touched away by Faccio
09:37touched on by Serena
09:38and a first time shot from Scalacci
09:40and the goalkeeper had no chance with that dipper
09:43beautiful play from one end to the other
09:45and a superb finish
09:54just before the jaws of the Uruguayan defence
09:57were closing on him
09:58he hits it
09:59and he hits it well
10:02he's completely deceived the keeper there Alves
10:04because he's hit the ball so early
10:06he's hit it that early
10:07the keeper hasn't expected it
10:08that's a great finish
10:10and fully deserved
10:12will we see a different Uruguayan now
10:14because they have to come out
10:15they must go for the equaliser
10:20with a free kick but
10:22and we're singing here now
10:26it was a delightful whistle for him
10:28from three Italian players
10:31Serena and Mandanda
10:33and Serena has made such a buzz
10:54Jorge Coutinho is going to be busy on the field
10:56in the next 20 minutes
11:00will you see Gruppi Sosa there
11:02looking for the penalty
11:05well there's the foul count
11:08so Uruguay
11:09the most fouled and abused side
11:12before this game
11:13are certainly doing
11:15making great efforts to catch up
11:17Odom
11:19that was a good long distance effort
11:21from the man who
11:22has got a wonderful free kick against
11:24England at Wembley
11:27big of a distance that one
11:29Bouncing just in front of Zenga
11:31gives an opportunity for a corner
11:34with Fonseca going to the far post
11:36and
11:38brave
11:39and acrobatic clearance
11:43that looked clear-cut case
11:46Deleon is creeping up over the far side
11:48of the penalty area
11:53all the Italians behind the ball
11:54as Pederno strikes
11:56again
11:58for Zenga
12:02applause from his coach and a few thousand
12:04because
12:05that was very difficult
12:10Deleon
12:13in a more advanced position
12:15although Serena has dropped off the
12:17front line
12:19for the game
12:20he's offside
12:21Schelensky can finish it off
12:23Schelensky doing what?
12:24got the goalkeeper
12:25support
12:26from Agostini
12:32and the opening was there for it
12:34to be killed by Scalacci
12:36he couldn't quite get a run on the ball
12:38in the first place
12:39the goalkeeper did well actually to
12:41come wide on him
12:42and
12:43make the target
12:44difficult
12:45he might have fallen there and got a penalty
12:46incidentally
12:47but in the end
12:48the shot wasn't good enough
12:50Serena making it so difficult
12:52for the goalkeeper
12:53and flying legs
12:55I don't think it was in his case much good
13:02applause from the crowd
13:10Beckham he pushed up
13:11down the right hand side for the short ball
13:13but Serena
13:14moving around
13:15with Scalacci on the edge of the area
13:19and there's Serena
13:242-0
13:25and they're in the quarter final
13:32applause from the crowd
13:34a beautiful free kick
13:36but the movement of the ball
13:38was exceptional
13:39with Serena and Scalacci
13:41moving around on the edge of the area
13:43they lost their markers
13:45when the concentration was at its lowest
13:48the kick was taken
13:49plonked straight on his head
13:51and Serena
13:52with the easiest of headers
13:54with a fine goal
13:552-0
13:57nice free kick Trevor
13:59well it was a nice floated ball
14:00from Giannini there
14:02Serena gets away from his marker
14:05I said before
14:06he is so dangerous in the air
14:08and that's a good finish
14:10that's the sort of crosses
14:11that he feeds off
14:12he needs all day
14:13he doesn't miss those
14:21so for Aldo Serena
14:25his third international goal

15:00from Francesca Lee
15:02who's appeared in so many World Cups now
