00:17Hello to you from the Johan Cruyff Arena in the historic and beautiful city of Amsterdam.
00:23Guy Mowbray here and Sue Smith is here to come and take with me.
00:27We've got a great game on the way for you today. Your thoughts on this game then, Sue?
00:32Well, I'm really looking forward to this one today. It'll be interesting to see how both teams line up but
00:37what an atmosphere we have here. I absolutely can't wait.
00:43This is how Ajax line up.
00:46It looks like a 4-3-3. One up top with wide players stretching the pitch and that midfield three
00:51sitting in pretty tight.
00:53The full backs are going to be key. They'll need to provide the width and link play if it's going
00:58to flow properly.
01:03This is the line up for the visitors.
01:06Yeah, it's a very similar look, isn't it? So it'll probably come down to those individual matchups.
01:11I think those wide areas will play a key role though.
01:14It's so important that the full backs get forward and push their opposite number back.
01:19If you are trying to get forward and push their opposite to the other side, the bottom line will beat
01:23me up cause no focus.
01:25Yes!
01:30Yes!
01:41Yes!
01:43Yes!
01:44Yes!
01:44Yes!
01:45Yes!
01:46Yes!
01:47Yes!
01:48Yes!
01:48Yes!
01:49Yes!
01:49Yes!
02:14The ball is rolling, we're underway.
02:31Scruffy play, ball lost.
02:33A quick whistle from the referee, foul given.
02:45Still going here.
02:49Full lost and the chance gone.
02:52And she has options available.
02:54And it's a decent stop by the goalkeeper.
03:03And they take a short corner.
03:13Acres of green grass to roam into.
03:16It's a brilliant chance.
03:19It's 1-0.
03:20The first blow struck very early.
03:34Well, the move was all about the lightning pace of the break.
03:38They burst out from the back so quickly.
03:40And then she's through on goal.
03:42No hesitation at all.
03:44Just puts her foot through it.
03:45Rifles it past the keeper.
03:47It's a cracking finish.
03:51And we're back underway at 1-0.
03:56There's one left behind.
04:04Takes the shot.
04:05The keeper quick to get across and make the save.
04:13Played into the box.
04:15And the defence ready for what was coming.
04:25Pass misplaced.
04:26The ball lost.
04:27You can't afford to switch off like that.
04:29It just invites pressure.
04:34Could be a chance to break in.
04:38And that might have ended up being better than it has.
04:46Nicely sets it up.
04:49Oh, good defending.
04:51Just when it was looking threatening.
04:58Able to skip past there.
05:01Could turn out to be a really good ball.
05:04Can someone attack this?
05:05Still trouble here.
05:07The effort's shut out.
05:22And the pass is incomplete.
05:24Nicely won.
05:38Struggling to keep the ball there.
05:41Breaking at pace.
05:42This could be dangerous.
05:44Well, it looked so promising, but it's come to nothing.
05:53And the attack is over.
05:55I really like that.
05:57Reads the situation well and reacts instantly.
06:18Moving the ball forward.
06:20Hoping something might open up.
06:21And it's on now.
06:23It's there.
06:24And it's a goal that's a real settler for them.
06:27Two in front now.
06:37Well, here's the replay.
06:39And what a run this is.
06:40They just couldn't get anywhere near her.
06:42And then she manages to keep her cool at the end.
06:45And finishes it off well.
06:58Two-nil, then, as we get started again.
07:11And that's nicely won to see off the threat.
07:14Very quick to close down.
07:16Now the chance for them to pull forward.
07:19They've lost it.
07:20A promising break fades away.
07:24Teeing up the chance now.
07:33Solid clearance to ease the pressure.
07:35Yeah, good clearance.
07:37Nothing stylish, but absolutely the right call there.
07:41And there's the whistle to end the first half at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
07:48Well, of all the players we're watching today, would you agree that she'd certainly get good marks so far?
07:53Yeah, she's done well, hasn't she?
07:55The standout's obviously the goal, but it's the quality of her all-round.
07:59And so the...
08:01And so the...
08:31The прост half at the Johan Cruyff Arena...
08:33And so the...
08:36...which people's already touched about the injury.
08:36And so everything to do with the J-ICO Unappangда, so the skill Peki noch cos armour related to the
08:42Hallunie.
08:42You can go...
08:42First there are three...
08:45Thanks!
08:46You can go...
08:57I mean, wait —
08:582-2, so go to another佐ve edge.
09:25the whistle sounds and the second half gets going
09:41just a little untidy
09:45allowed to go a long way with this
09:51and that has stopped any potential danger
10:06struggling to keep it here
10:11both teams struggling to retain possession
10:24a really good interception to take the ball
10:37encouraging size to the attack
10:39but it hasn't led to anything
10:42able to skip past
10:47well this is a superb run
10:49this to get back into it
10:50oh can it be finished
10:52and a great stop to turn the ball away
11:00oh brilliant anticipation
11:11now a sense that something could happen from this
11:14it's offside
11:15and that will be that
11:31and they've got to find reverse gear now
11:34that's sensible isn't it
11:36kept it simple and snuffed out the danger
11:40well here they go the attack is on
11:44oh chance
11:46oh the key is to reflexes
11:48yeah her agility was phenomenal
11:50she had so little time
11:52truly world class that
12:12played into the box
12:15instinctive and fantastic
12:17yeah that's a real confidence booster
12:20just knowing your keeper can handle those crucial moments
12:35it's put into the middle
12:43oh look at that
12:45press of the match
12:47and it's taken away
12:49terrific
12:50perfectly judged
12:51read the situation brilliantly
13:00right idea but the wrong side of the fine margins
13:03saved and held onto as well
13:08lovely set up
13:12and that's where it ends
13:15the counter looks on here
13:16options available
13:28it's nice
13:31oh could regret that
13:35looking for the right moment
13:36oh how she kept that out
13:38well that was all about split second reactions
13:41and she showed us just how sharp she is
13:44that's a great stop
13:54into the box it goes
13:56good save
13:57and enough on it to get it away too
13:59that's done little to clear the danger
14:02and now the keeper is able to hold onto the ball
14:06well you can sense the relief part yeah
14:08it was a fantastic initial save though
14:19what a chance
14:21and that puts a really impressive seal
14:24on what has been a fantastic performance
14:33well here we can see it again
14:35and you do have to feel for the keeper
14:37she's left completely exposed at the back
14:39and she never really had much of a chance
14:41it's poor defending you have to say
14:56so off we go once more at 3-0
15:12now this has to be
