00:10There is the Russian team that they've chosen to put out tonight. The two notable absentees are Lev Yashin, 37,
00:18the black octopus, who is deemed injured, and the goalkeeper in his place, number 21, there at the bottom of
00:25the list, Kavazashvili.
00:26They've also left out their captain, presumably to keep him up their sleeves.
00:53And there is perhaps one of the strangest team sheets ever been seen on television.
01:01And they are away, and we are now at the start of this extremely fascinating football match with the Russians
01:08on the right in the white shirts.
01:11The second choice skillkeeper, standing in tonight for Yashin, who is injured, Malofiev.
01:25And this is dangerous right off the line.
01:30Nice piece of covering there by the Koreans.
01:32But Baniszewski's header, which would have gone in, I'm sure, had that defender not been there.
01:38Corner now, to the Russians.
01:44He's out by the goalkeeper.
01:53Chislanko in possession.
01:54Quick cross.
01:57And this, let me name this Korean goalkeeper for you, Mr. Lee Chan-myung, because, obviously, he's already won the
02:05hearts of this Asim Park crowd.
02:13And the Russians stamping no authority on this match at all.
02:16So, this is Hangbong Jin.
02:21Number eight, can he get a shot in his throw left?
02:23He got a left foot.
02:24He hasn't tackled off the ball.
02:26In it comes.
02:30And the crowd...
02:33Half an hour gone, still.
02:35North Korea nil, Russia nil.
02:37And Russia here, with a lot of open space in front of them, could sign off on the left.
02:42It must go in this time.
02:43He's just whittled it by, there it is.
02:50Just on the half an hour.
02:53And it's Malofiev who scores for Russia.
02:59upon the reference end.
03:01μ§κΈκΉμ§ dammaox questions.
03:04Is it possible?
03:06Oh.
03:08Tell ΠΎΠΏΠΈΡΠ°Π½ΠΈΠΈ.?
03:14I
03:14got it. No,
03:16the seals are hurt. You got
03:17it. You got
03:20it. Wow.
03:23Time.
03:23I can fix it. Give it.
03:25Go. Wow.
03:2818, and here comes the kick, and it's there, number two, Baniszewski, who loitered just
03:43clear of the pack inside the penalty area, got his head to that, and Russia now, two
03:48goals in two minutes, and taking over, Russia have possession immediately, Baniszewski out
04:09to Kutsainov, Malofiev hits the bar, Chislenko, can he get it, Lin Chan-myung, you're going
04:25to see a lot of delaying tactics on free kicks, and a tremendous volley, and they can't get
04:30it in, heaved off the line by Panamarem, this is Baniszewski, Chislenko looking for his
04:44left foot, he's found it, Sabo, a good one, this is Panamarem, that's Panamarem, the
05:14Russian right fullback, Chislenko, Sabo coming through, right foot, sliced, you saw the
05:29curl of that, past the left post, one of the great individualists, this man, Sabo, of Malofiev,
05:38left picks it up, clear in midfield, Chislenko on his right, it's a good one, Malofiev, Chislenko,
05:53left foot, Russians in a good position here, if they can get it, just wide by Kurzylava,
06:06fine, strong shot, just outside the, Russians occasionally looking dangerous in front of goal,
06:12lot of space now they have, this is Baniszewski, bad, pass, Chislenko, oh, he's pushed it straight
06:28to the foot of the Russian, they still can't get it in, a straight 3-3 now, three Russians,
06:40three Koreans, this is Chislenko for Russia, and a good shot, a splendid save by Lee Chan-myung,
06:56Panamarem, fallback, breaking on the right, it's just short, he tries to chest it in,
07:07Sabo, another inch around the chest, I'm sure, very brittle, not a great deal of penetration,
07:13and what's perhaps a little more surprising, I suspect we always thought that of the North
07:17Koreans in the end, in our deepest hearts, but we discover that the Russians have a rather
07:23creaky defence, and that is typical of their finishing, good square one, Sheshtenev, now then,
07:42it's there, the Koreans thought he was offside,
07:47it's there, the Koreans gave.
08:24And we're now very near the final whistle, with the score 3-0 to Russia, and there is
08:33the final whistle, and I can't believe that either of these two teams are going to do
08:40very well at all in this northeast group, with Italy and Chile to come, very disappointing
08:46performances by both of them.
08:48Sitting alongside me is Tommy Dodd.
