00:00Frank Reichardt wants to be. Issues arising from the Dutch selection. Edwin van der Saar is fit again after getting
00:07hurt against Denmark.
00:08He displaces Sander Westervelt, but Michael Reisiger doesn't get his right-back recall. Paul Vosvelt earned the shirt against France
00:15and plays on his club ground.
00:17So it's ten of Wednesday's side and eight of the side that beat Yugoslavia at the last World Cup.
00:27The Yugoslavs have problems. You reap what you sow and their slightly wild style has landed them with two players
00:32suspended and a couple injured.
00:35Yugovic is fit though and most of the names that you know are there, not least the short-range sharpshooter
00:40that is Savo Milosevic.
00:42Incidentally, you might not know number 17, Ubinko Trulovic. His left foot is well worth admiring and seven of those
00:49played in the World Cup clash.
00:54Two of the top four scoring nations from the group stage. Separated by their defensive record. Only Denmark conceded more
01:01than Yugoslavia.
01:03Only Norway conceded fewer than Holland. But it ought to be a good game, let's face it. It ought to
01:09be.
01:09And we're on to varying degrees. I know you'd like to look at both of these through the tournament.
01:13So, I think what we're going to see today, we can guarantee he's upside there over Mars. We're going to
01:18get Urge Zenden.
01:19We're going to see a top-level skill. We're going to see good tactics, differing tactics.
01:25We're going to see the Dutch play with their normal width. Zenden and Overmars in the wide areas.
01:31Yeah, but they're also accustomed, you know. I know they've got a groundswell of fans behind them.
01:35But they are accustomed to us to being patient as well. They're not afraid to keep putting passes in.
01:40If there's no avenue to go down.
01:45Milosevic, yeah. At De Boer. It's Savo Milosevic. Charts! Milosevic!
01:49It's a great save, sprawling and making himself big by van der Saar.
01:54Yugoslavia really should leave.
02:02Come out to Bergkamp. Davies.
02:07Cocu.
02:10Bosva.
02:17One bat by Cocu.
02:22Forward by Newman. For Dennis Bergkamp. Bergkamp! That's a good save too! And Overmars can't get onto it.
02:30Again Overmars. Climax!
02:35Was that a good enough minute for you?
02:37Yeah, some great action. Look at Milosevic. Goes past De Boer as if he stood still.
02:42Sets me out of vision. He must score. Great spread by the keeper, but that's a chance miss.
02:47And straight down the other end of Bergkamp.
02:50Does something he hasn't done an awful lot in the tournament. He cuts in from that hindsight left position.
02:54And that's Bergkamp's speciality. Bending it around the keeper's left arm.
03:01Overmars beautifully taken.
03:04Heidovic stays tight. Bergkamp is onto it. This is Kleiber.
03:09Jugovic stretched and didn't reach.
03:17A one by Davies for Bergkamp. Dennis Bergkamp for Holland!
03:24And...
03:24Kral got something on it. And Bergkamp may feel he didn't get enough on it.
03:29No, he certainly didn't. I mean his skill. I mean it was a gift to him.
03:33Completely unmarked. His skills are taken past the first defender.
03:36But unfortunately he couldn't get much purchase on his left footed shot.
03:40And...
03:43Calm turn from Dukic.
03:46To ball.
03:50Davies, Bergkamp. Davies!
03:52Inca Davies!
03:53Oh!
03:54Oh!
03:57It could be three or four by now.
04:01That's a lovely threaded ball. Pace, good run from midfield.
04:06Well, he certainly had no complaints. He's got the ball set nicely for him.
04:12Newman.
04:14Kleiber.
04:17Bergkamp.
04:19Kleiber's in!
04:21Kleiber scores!
04:28For the third game running, it's Patrick Kleiber who gets Holland off the mark.
04:35And didn't he take it well?
04:37What a wonderful first touch.
04:39What a wonderful second touch.
04:42What a wonderful sight.
04:43What a wonderful sound.
04:45He anticipates. He knows when Bergkamp plays it, he's going to get in there.
04:48But more for me than his touch, which was terrific, was his bravery.
04:53It's 50-50. The keeper's equal favourite.
04:56I think the keeper's got Rudd pulling up there.
04:59Kleiber has it. Kleiber has seen only the ball.
05:02Pulled on Mihaljevic's shoulder.
05:04That's a lovely, lovely touch at Stanship.
05:07But he's still got plenty to do when he kicks up there.
05:09The keeper's got to clean him out.
05:10He was braver than the goalkeeper for me, that.
05:17I kid you not, the stand in which we sit is shaking.
05:23Koku.
05:26Zender.
05:30A yard either side.
05:35Yeah.
05:36Good movement up to the side again, this is how he got the goal in the previous game against France,
05:41running in.
05:44A bit of Stojkovic.
05:47One back by Tavic, isn't it always?
05:50And he's pulled back by Jukovic.
05:51When Holland lose the ball, Edgar Tavic wins it back.
05:54Yeah, he's all out, his aggression is quick.
05:56And I would think, looking at the, looking at the Yugoslavs, they're not loaded with zest in the middle of
06:02it.
06:02They've got some good players in the middle of the field, given time and space.
06:06They're not too sure. I mean, I think Boskov would be looking more for Drulovic and Jukovic at the moment.
06:12That's a super run by Newman.
06:14It's Newman's shot and Drul was close to spilling.
06:18Oh, they're on fire.
06:19Big moments in the game this now.
06:21Mihailovic is going to have a bang at that.
06:23He hits a football very, very hard with his left foot, Mihailovic.
06:28And when he lets go, it flies and it swerves and it swings.
06:35Sinisa Mihailovic.
06:37And it dips.
06:38And that wasn't half a bad save.
06:41Team.
06:44They represent a real test.
06:46Savalic forward.
06:47Milosevic with a clumsy first touch.
06:49Zendlats flying.
06:50Davids has it.
06:51Kluivert through the middle.
06:53Davids has played him in.
06:54It's Kluivert.
06:55It's two.
06:57Knife through butter.
07:05They are such fun to watch.
07:12This is what football was meant to be.
07:14It's Patrick Kluivert.
07:17It's 2-0 for Holland.
07:18I mean, this is a measure.
07:20This is a measure ball from Davids.
07:22And to be fair, Kluivert's a lovely controlled touch.
07:25Watch how he pulls off the back.
07:27I mean, they're not great markers.
07:29Mihailovic.
07:30It's caught ball watching, but that's beautiful.
07:33He's just gone in.
07:34That's the confidence of him.
07:36But what a spot he's back with the pass.
07:41Terrific.
07:43Absolutely.
07:44And he could sense it coming.
07:46They're overrunning them there at the stop.
07:48They're pretty overrunning them.
07:50Vyatovic.
07:54A little bit of a tangle with Stan.
07:56There is history.
07:56In this fixture.
08:03There's Needle.
08:04Now, Yapstam it was, funnily enough, who conceded the penalty in Toulouse.
08:08Right at the end of the World Cup game.
08:10With a tug on Yugovic's shirt.
08:12When Mijatovic hit the crossbar.
08:16And now he's mixing it with the dragon Stojkovic.
08:21There's Needle.
08:41Half-time.
08:43Good news, everyone.
08:44There's 45 minutes more of this.
08:47Patrick Kleiver now has 13 goals in his last 11 internationals.
08:53Those Orange fans are having a ball.
08:56Holland are terrific.
08:57They lead by Kleiver's goals.
08:59By two Kleiver goals to nil.
09:02Rude may not be aware of this, but it is in fact 12 years to the day
09:05since his goal helped crown Holland the European champions of 1988.
09:11Munich 25th of June.
09:13Fullerton van Basten.
09:14Holland 2.
09:15USSR 0.
09:17Poor old Dasaiv in goal that day.
09:20And it may well be that on this sort of form
09:23it is seven days before they're champions of Europe again.
09:27You're joking.
09:28As soon as you walked into the stadium it's only scored
09:3022 years to the day.
09:37What's the Yugoslav game plan, Ron?
09:39I think they've got to try and get people from midfield past the ball a little bit.
09:43I'm going to say past it, get past the strikers.
09:45They haven't really, they've sat in a line the midfield quartet.
09:50They haven't really offered too much attacking threat.
09:52And obviously they've got to try and get,
09:55they've got to try and get some help up
09:57to Miatovic and Milosevic.
10:03I can't recall in the course of the first half,
10:06I can't recall either striker, Milosevic gone down now.
10:09I can't recall either striker having a cross at all.
10:14Stam's challenge on Milosevic.
10:17Of course, Mihajlovic is forward for the set piece.
10:20He'll want to wait until Milosevic is
10:21sufficiently mobile and sufficiently close to
10:25a danger area before he delivers.
10:35It hit Davins, who is the first man on the edge of the box.
10:40On by De Boer.
10:48Overmarch with space.
10:50And look at the space for Zen then if he can take this, he can't quite.
10:59Davins.
11:00Overmarch.
11:05There's always a new angle, there's always a new idea,
11:09there's always a different outlet.
11:11You talk about counter-attacking and I don't really want to say,
11:15but you talk about the vision there of Davins.
11:18They're despairing though.
11:21Desperate sort of challenge.
11:22Gives them a desperate situation.
11:25Bergkamp's free kick.
11:27Carl with the punch.
11:30Bosfeld.
11:32That's clever from Paul Bosfeld.
11:34It's climber!
11:35Patrick!
11:38Flying!
11:39They are flying!
11:42He is flying.
11:44And he is helpless.
11:50Just an exhibition.
11:56The stand is shaking.
11:59Italy, if they're watching this, will be quaking.
12:02He does well here Bosfeld.
12:04Shows him a trick.
12:05Beats Deutsch.
12:06Plays it into the zone.
12:08And that's plenty to do on that.
12:09That's a great striker's finish.
12:12He's picked his spot.
12:13He's played it into the zone, but he's got to get across the defender.
12:16Get across the defender he does.
12:18Gets a great ricochet.
12:19Great.
12:20Great hat trick.
12:24Three goals in the game.
12:25And there are 40 minutes of the game left.
12:28And Stojkovic has had enough.
12:29And this could be the last time you get a view of that player at a major tournament.
12:34He has contributed an awful lot to his national side.
12:40Milosevic.
12:43Well Yugoslavia have come back from 3-0 behind with 10 men in this tournament.
12:47But here is Overmars.
12:51And here is Zendan.
12:53And that was Kral.
13:00It's Stankovic wearing six there who's come on in place of Stojkovic.
13:07Very superstitious about his number six shirt, Dejan Stankovic.
13:11It's going to have to work for him big time here.
13:14So superstitious that when he has to wear 20 at Lazio, he wears a number six t-shirt underneath.
13:22Dejan has got a great future this lad, I think.
13:24I saw him play for Red Stars some years ago and he looked as if he was going to be
13:28a very, very good player.
13:29He's only 21 now.
13:37Over the top by Newman.
13:38Chased in by Zendan.
13:40It's Gardewijn Zendan.
13:41It's Patrick Kluivert.
13:42He has four.
13:43They have four.
13:49What's left in the locker.
13:53Unstoppable.
13:54Wonderful.
14:00Clivert.
14:01Clivert is a headline on his own.
14:0954 minutes.
14:11Zendan does well here.
14:13He battles.
14:13He's picked him out.
14:14Still plenty to do.
14:16It's not along the deck.
14:17It's still in the air.
14:18He's had to adjust his body here, Kluivert.
14:21But he just has to lift it.
14:23And he just lifts it.
14:23At the moment, anything he hits is going to go in.
14:26I mean, that's good agility, that.
14:36It's a one-way show this, it really is.
14:39And you get the feeling that they're loving it so much, they're just going to keep performing.
14:44Oh, they're on fire.
14:45The crowd, the crowd will drive them on for more now.
14:50We're seeing players, this particular line here, I mean, that just shows...
14:56However they've gone now, Komlinovic, they've actually gone.
15:00They've completely ripped them apart.
15:05And Boskov is starting to take pity on one or two of his poor guys out there and making changes.
15:11Savalic is coming off.
15:12And Jovan Stankovic, wearing 19, is coming on in his stead.
15:18They want to make the change before the corner.
15:23I don't think he's had enough.
15:39Stankovic of Real Mallorca.
15:42First duty to defend Bergkamp's corner.
15:48Stammer.
15:51Mihailovic away.
15:55Klaivovic got hurt.
15:58In challenging for the ball, on the edge of the six yard area.
16:07Wonder whether we'll get a look at what happened there.
16:11Do you know, about five seconds early in that corner,
16:14I seriously was thinking, it's Mihailovic.
16:17Oh, yeah.
16:18Yeah.
16:20Angela, his girlfriend, leads the applause for Patrick Kleiber.
16:25Applause which echoes, resounds around Rotterdam, Amsterdam, points between and beyond.
16:30He is Holland's hero.
16:32What a game.
16:37Boat cat.
16:39Oh!
16:43Mackay's first touch, as Kleiber's replacement, was that close.
16:49as cliver disappears having become the first man ever in a european championship finals to
16:54score four in a game his immediate replacement is within inches of adding a fifth
17:03well won by bergkamp overmars mckay has gone outside of him overmars through the
17:08inside right channel dennis bergkamp
17:14overmars
17:18just shanked it a bit
17:26change the goalkeeper van der saad did make a very important save early in the game from the acevic
17:33made himself big make the plot maybe if hugo slavia had got ahead it could have been a different piece
17:40you get the feeling though that uh
17:43when it's in zargi and del piero totti and fiore doing the shooting in a few days time
17:49it'll be him having to do the saving
17:56best of hell hasn't touched the ball yet and this is in a one prime position for sinisa mihailovich
18:11best of hell still hasn't touched the ball and he wouldn't have done had it gone six inches
18:17the other way inside the post yeah he's got over there he's whipped it he's ill of thought he scored
18:23for it at that moment in time
18:31okay
18:32okay spot on about drulic i mean he has been one of their major players in the tournament and hasn't
18:36played well at all today has indeed it well they haven't had many players have played well
18:40oh but it nearly just makes the flute something now from kovacevic with his first involvement
18:49boswell

20:41nest

21:04that left back has had an excellent game i know at rangers he rooms with barry ferguson the young
21:09scottish player of the year dick advocate feels he's a good influence on a young throne
