00:30Here's the former England winger, attacker Sue Smith.
00:33And the general feeling is we should be in for a spellbinding occasion.
00:37How do you see it panning out?
00:38Well, I'm sure both managers will have given them the final instructions.
00:42Go out and give it their all.
00:44Hopefully that'll be enough for a positive result.
00:47I'm looking forward to this one.
01:08So, the initial 11 for the home side.
01:11They are lining up in a 4-3-3 system.
01:14And with this, it naturally creates triangles all over the pitch.
01:18So, it means lots of options for players.
01:20It does allow them to get forward and support the attacks as well.
01:39Let's have a look at the initial 11 for the visitors.
01:42It does look to be a holding 4-4-2.
01:45I'm sure they'll be tight and compact without the ball.
01:48Very little space between the units.
01:50The defence should have plenty of cover from the midfielders as well.
02:12And the referee's whistle indicates the beginning of this match.
02:22Real intensity and purpose about this.
02:26Oh, that's a blind save.
02:28Voiling a real chance.
02:34Trying to pick out a teammate.
02:36Not well enough away.
02:42Well, it comes to nothing in the end.
02:46Clean challenge.
02:59Booking perhaps.
03:11Well, that's how to keep the opposition at bay.
03:23That is a magnificent run.
03:32And a good challenge to bring that attack to an end.
03:35And I'll tell you what, there is a confident footballer for you.
03:42Can she find the right pass?
03:49Well, a touch too heavy there.
03:51Well, they managed to snub that out quickly, didn't they?
03:57Oh, could be an opportunity here.
04:00Oh, that is a wonderful piece of challenging.
04:09That's a very fine piece of tackling.
04:13Oh, it's on!
04:15Oh, it's on!
04:15And there it is!
04:17The breakthrough!
04:18That will do nicely.
04:33Well, if we watch this again, you can see she's under all sorts of pressure, but still manages to keep
04:39her cool.
04:40And she finishes it off well.
04:44So the match is restarted.
04:46One-nil here.
04:48One-nil here.
04:49One-nil!
04:51One-nil!
04:51One-nil!
04:53One-nil!
05:07One-nil!
05:46Oh, back and forth in terms of possession.
06:03Good tackle.
06:05Oh, that's splendid play.
06:09Oh, they'll be disappointed.
06:11It looked promising.
06:15And that's a very effective run.
06:22And the right place to cut out the pass.
06:26Despite the foul, they keep going.
06:32Well, it wasn't the best of touches, and she couldn't keep it in play, so a throw-in.
06:47Here?
06:49Here?
07:09Determined defending.
07:22Well, a fierce effort, but quite simply not accurate enough.
07:28As you can see, they've been disappointed in the final third.
07:31Not many attempts on goal, and when they do, they just haven't tested the goalkeeper enough.
07:36I'm sure if this continues, we're going to see changes to get themselves back into the game.
07:41Well, in possession now.
07:43Let's see what they can create.
07:44On a different day, it might have gone in.
07:47Yeah, that was really close.
07:49It's not a bad effort.
07:50They've just got to keep going, and I'm sure they'll get the equaliser.
07:55And a tidy challenge.
08:01Well, she's certainly not alone, and credit is due for that good piece of defending.
08:07Have the confidence to take her on.
08:13Ready to break, perhaps.
08:20Opportunity here.
08:22And she's in the move today.
08:25She's gone and made us a double.
08:38Well, the pace on the count is so dangerous.
08:41They moved out from the back with real intent,
08:43and she finishes it off with a calm, tidy touch.
08:46It's a really well-taken goal.
08:49And with that, the first half draws to a close.
08:57So, off.
09:24And away they go again.
09:25And again, the second half is up and running.
09:38Possession one.
09:50Might lead to a chance.
09:53A real opening now.
09:55Oh, quality save there!
09:57Yeah, such good awareness.
09:59Closed the angle down perfectly.
10:01That's textbook goalkeeping.
10:03Let's see about the delivery.
10:06Not a convincing clearance.
10:08Denied by the bar.
10:09Back in play here.
10:12Well, a good idea.
10:14Just lost the momentum.
10:18Wow, that was so close, wasn't it?
10:20And you just feel if that had gone in,
10:22might have given them a little bit of momentum
10:24for the rest of the game.
10:25It's unlucky, that.
10:26Yeah, it's a really open flow to the game.
10:28End-to-end stuff.
10:31Illegally stopping the attack.
10:44Nicely timed tackle.
10:47Well, that was football of the highest class
10:50that we witnessed from her in the first 45.
10:52Your assessment.
10:54Oh, it was a big chance there, Derek.
10:55And you cannot argue with a hat-trick.
10:58Simply unstoppable today.
11:06Well, this is a neat and tidy finish.
11:09Her movement's great.
11:10She finds a yard of space,
11:12and then it's so composed.
11:15Is this going to be a thrashing?
11:173-0 now.
11:20And so 30 minutes left for play in this one.
11:26Nicely cut out.
11:30And I'll tell you what,
11:32there is a confident footballer for you.
11:34Good defending in the end,
11:36and danger of versa for now.
11:47Well, they couldn't keep hold of it.
12:00Lovely pass.
12:01Could be threatening.
12:03And easily intercepted.
12:04Well, could be in hot water here.
12:06Booked already.
12:09And also a yellow card.
12:11Yeah, there's no way she was getting away with that one.
12:19And opted for the direct approach,
12:21but the keeper made light work of that one.
12:29Good tackle.
12:42Good-looking move.
12:45Well, that's how to keep the opposition at bay.
12:49And that's the end of that attack.
12:57Now we're inside the final quarter of an hour now.
13:17Well, if we watch this again,
13:20it's all about being alert in and around the box.
13:23And when the ball falls to her,
13:25she's clinical.
13:25That's a really nice finish.
13:28And this is turning into something of a route.
13:314-0.
13:41Oh, fancy footwork.
13:45Pretty simple for the keeper.
13:51Almost at full time.
13:53And I'll tell you what,
13:54playing away from their home patch
13:55has been a pleasant experience for them, Sue.
13:58Yeah, they thoroughly deserve the victory.
14:00The attack in play will get all of the applaudits,
14:03and rightly so.
14:04I've been so impressed with how well they've kept the ball.
14:07The work rate's been excellent.
14:08They win it back quickly when they lose it.
14:10Just been a good all-round performance.
14:17Delightfully played.
14:18Menacing.
14:20Eyes on goal.
14:23And there it is.
14:24A goal.
14:25But will it be purely a consolation
14:27at this stage of the proceedings?
14:29They haven't been at their best.
14:32Well, here we can see it again.
14:34And a simple finish it may be.
14:36But it's all about the movement in the box.
14:38just to find that yard or to a space.
14:41That's what makes it an easy finish in the end.
14:47Well, they stopped them in their tracks.
14:57And there it is.
14:58The full-time whistle here.
14:59And it's a victory for the visitors.
15:02Well, that was an emphatic result.
15:04That's a very fine piece of tackling.
15:07Let's see.
15:08Let's see.
15:08Bye.
15:09Bye.
15:12Bye.
15:14Bye.
15:15Bye.
