it truly is a special place a stadium every football fan should visit
should he or she get the chance the santiago bernabeu here in madrid
my name is derek ray with me in the commentary position is the arsenal legend lee dixon and every
reason to believe we're in for an entertaining match here it's spain versus greece thanks derek
good atmosphere everybody looking forward to what should be a really entertaining game
and now they get the ball rolling
the lineup then for the hosts david de gea starts in goal
sergio ramos plays with indigo martinez in central defense
tiago starts with roderi in central midfield and morata is the main striker for this match
now jordi alba morata it's with borrow now that's a well-timed pass
and a goal that is a very bright start perfect way to open
well as we see again here this really is patient accurate incisive passing at its best
and once he gets himself settled with the keeper to beat he hammers it into
the back of the net smashing goal one nil then
take it away
well possession seeded
nicely cut out
pretty good reading of the game to win possession back
mantalos
an attack full of promise in behind for him to chase
and he has players waiting at the back post i'm a bit short with the clearance offside close one
jordi alba
read it magnificently and intercepted
anastasios bacacetas showing patience looking for the equalizer and now they have the ball back
the hosts really haven't had too much of the ball but on the break they've been devastating
and he's in the clear chance maybe they've got it now what can they do firing it towards joel
an opportunity to add to their advantage but not taken
it was worth an effort wasn't it too much space was given to him takes the shots on
comparis moving the ball forward with purpose and with that the attack fizzles out read it well
fine cross into the middle
possession lost intercepted
and there to intervene
well the stoppage time situation one minute here well this could pose problems for the
defenders and that is that half time here on the spanish capital
i think most fans would be pretty happy with this man's display so far
well derek is certainly was a good 45 minutes from the lad obviously
got the goal to give him the lead but he's looked very very lively as well
plenty to consider based on what we've seen so far as the second
defensive business with a minimum of fuss
thiago offside the decision
shouldn't keep the ball
roddery on the ball morata a chance to whip it in jordi alba
cocaine prepare to shoot it's in
they're looking really relaxed and confident i'm not giving the opposition much of a look in
well here's the replay it's a really dangerous ball into the penalty area and i bet he can't
believe the time and space he's got to simply nod the ball into the net no jump needed too easy
well a second goal for them here
lost possession
no simple for the keeper
indigo martinez cocaine with it ferran torres
tiago well good use of the ball tiago a glorious chance and the ball is in the net well the
offside flag has been raised no goal well it was close but he just went a little bit too early
well unable to hold this run and that's
offside
jordi alba
on the ball morata cocay sergio busquets
pure ball control
well that is a defender's job to come to the rescue a good looking move
zekka baka set us with it
and it's a matter of what occurs in the final 15 minutes
he's in with a chance and then oh yes exactly what they were hoping to produce they've
delivered the gold well it's really top-class play huge amount of work on the training ground
in order to drill a team to be this capable of carrying out pressing football like this top draw
so there we have it two one
well just listen to the atmosphere derrick it's been such a tight game
but can they see this out now the fans are certainly doing their bit well it's a great
advantage to any side when you're as comfortable on the ball as they are
jordi alba do they mean business on this occasion
and it's certainly not like busquets to give it away like that
ramos
ferran torres
and only two minutes remaining here
zekka kung pellis and the referee has added on two minutes of stoppage time
well the past not finding its targets
and there goes the final whistle and the home fans are going to be happy about this outcome lee
just nudging ahead when they did has won it for him in the end really tight affair that was
only put in a really thorough performance tonight lee
well he played well scored a goal what a good performance from him
