Transcript

00:00Trying to work it. There's a crowd now already on their feet.

00:08They've had a shooting opportunity which is tipped away.

00:12It goes round the long way. It says it was caught and the referee seems to agree.

00:30Second. That's a good ball across the air. In the end, though, it comes to nothing.

00:44Again, Bocca, seeing a lot of possession. Can't quite get that final touch.

00:50Now there's a chance. Keeper spills it.

00:56Now there's Gala.

01:01The body's a little bit loose.

01:08Gala Sasson-Laprentiuk does well.

01:16Bocca's lurking down the centre.

01:21If the Ecuadorian can see him, he can do. Strokes it forward and the follow-up somehow is hit wide.

01:29For a second.

01:34The Ecuadorian, number eight, seems intent to give it to them.

01:39Maybe Bocca did not quite hit it the way he wanted to.

01:44Again, good refereeing.

01:47He pulled it back. That little bit of a tussle on the far side.

01:55Margicela and his defenders doing just enough to keep so much time and space now.

02:10Casteja, again, is denied.

02:16Marcus requiring that extra touch.

02:21And Casteja really is a thorn in the side.

02:28Time, isn't it, to bring it under control. Good stop from the keeper.

02:34Can the Argentines make use of these set-pieces?

02:41The answer so far is no.

02:45Good cover work from Sarachi.

02:51Number 40.

02:58It's nice footwork to create that space in shots.

03:02The white shirts are there to apply the pressure.

03:09Bocca looking a little bit more about than Bocca camped in the final third.

03:16Velasco.

03:19There's the shooting opportunity instead. He's just curled.

03:26Marcus saw the late run. That's a terrific stop.

03:32First sniff on goal.

03:35Cantelo denied.

03:38Margicela does well because they did it at the back.

03:41It was the youngster, Dilolo, who put his side in trouble.

03:47Margicela got them out of it.

03:51Marcus attempts to use his physicality.

04:06Nice turn. Wonderful little ball forward and Jimenez squeezes in the shot.
