00:18Hello and welcome, and I can tell you it was a dry walk to the gantry today, no rain in
00:24sight.
00:24I'm your match commentator Derek Ray, and my partner, ready to bring you all the analysis and technical talk, is
00:30Stuart Robson.
00:31And we can't wait for this one to start, with justifiable cause. What do you anticipate seeing, Stuart?
00:37Well, both teams know they need to start the game well here, try to dominate the midfield area, and get
00:43their creative players on the ball.
00:44This should be an interesting game, I think.
01:03Here's how it looks for Portugal.
01:05Well, as you can see, it's a fairly narrow midfield, so it does mean that the full-backs need to
01:10break forward at the right time.
01:11But it's the number 10 who really has to affect the game today.
01:33And this is the initial 11 for the visitors today.
01:36Well, although it's down as a 4-5-1, it's more likely to be three players in behind the main
01:41centre forward, and those three are key to this team's creativity.
02:20And the referee's whistle indicates the beginning of this match.
02:36Perfect challenge.
02:39Will it happen for them?
02:52Portugal have control of the ball again here.
02:56She has team-mates around her.
03:00Couldn't quite go the distance.
03:02And a clear foul.
03:08And fired from the flank into the area.
03:12What a fierce effort, but quite simply not accurate enough.
03:22Natasha Flint.
03:25Pushing higher up with intent.
03:31And she couldn't apply that finishing touch.
03:34What a chance to get that opening goal.
03:36She's made a bit of a mess of it, really.
03:45And Ines Pereira has it now.
03:50Oh, great play.
03:52Well, we know what a key player she is, and she'll certainly expect to make her presence felt.
03:57Well, she links everything together.
03:59She can play in tight areas, she can pass beyond pressure, and she makes good decisions.
04:04And she's certainly going to be a key player today.
04:08Oh, it looked really promising for them.
04:20And using the flag, often her preferred option.
04:26Can they forge ahead?
04:28Oh, great save!
04:47Now, sending it in.
04:48A bit twitchy and clearing that one away.
04:51Might move briskly into the attacking third.
04:55Went in strongly, decisively.
04:59And away like a greyhound there.
05:07How did they let that attack come to an end?
05:10Really snuffed out the danger there.
05:25That's a superb challenge.
05:40Well, they lost custody of it.
05:47And foul it is then.
06:02And never in any doubt from the keeper.
06:09Effective press.
06:17Regained possession.
06:31Can they set up a chance?
06:33Can she give them the lead?
06:36And there it is.
06:38And there it is.
06:38The opening goal.
06:401-0.
06:41And they'll feel they deserve it.
06:49Well, here's the replay.
06:51And just look at that power.
06:52That's almost unstoppable.
06:54That's a great strike.
07:04So, the match has restarted.
07:061-0 here.
07:14And beating her marker.
07:16And a goal!
07:18Another one!
07:19Two in quick succession.
07:21No wonder they're celebrating!
07:37Well, just watch this again.
07:39A change of pace, a change of direction, and a decent finish.
07:42That's a very good goal.
07:46So, toenail now.
07:50Jacinto.
07:53Jessica Silva.
07:56Tatiana Pinto.
07:58It's a promising move from Portugal.
08:07A chance then for the respective managers to address the...
08:11Ah.
10:28Amado.
10:30Well, credit for that piece of ball winning.
10:32Now, what can she do next?
10:39Could be a chance to break.
10:42And I'll tell you what, there is a confident footballer for you.
10:47Well, it's all about the team.
10:49And that was an alert piece of defending.
10:58Well, she's certainly not alone.
11:01And that is how to stop an attack.
11:32Yasmeen Ryan.
11:33Just a matter of thumping it away.
11:38Well, breaking at pace is always a possibility.
11:43And showing good game awareness.
11:50Nazareth.
11:55Oh, useful ball.
11:57And a fine tackle.
12:05Oh, in with a chance.
12:10Well, the power was there.
12:12Not really the placement, however.
12:14Goal kick.
12:32Well, we have 20 minutes left in this game.
12:39Oh, she's in a really promising position.
12:42And the post getting in the way.
12:45Well, the break was on.
12:46But she stopped them in their tracks.
12:49Well, I can't believe that didn't go in.
12:52So close to finishing this game off.
12:54Well, they can't dwell on not getting the rub of the green.
12:57Perhaps they can create another chance now.
12:59Oh, it's been given as a penalty.
13:03But no card handed out.
13:05Well, I'm surprised by that decision, to be honest.
13:09And in it goes.
13:10As coolly as you like.
13:12She delivers.
13:17Very composed.
13:18Just waiting for her to make a move.
13:20And then stroked it home.
13:25Is this going to be a thrashing?
13:273-0 now.
13:32Silva.
13:41Thomas.
13:44And with that, the attack fizzles out.
13:58And she's driving her team forward.
14:01Can she find the right pass?
14:04Oh, this is looking promising.
14:09Well, that's how to answer your critical commentator.
14:12Might be a chance to break.
14:22Oh, it looked really promising for them.
14:25And dispatching that one out of play.
14:32Come on!
14:34Come on!
14:35Come on!
14:36Come on!
14:56She's made a really good intervention there.
15:02Now, maybe room here for the counter-attack.
15:07And more forward momentum.
15:10Oh, great save!
15:33And there's the delivery.
15:37And so, the final whistle here.
15:39The visitors come out on top, Stuart.
15:42You're absolutely right.
15:44Their attack in play was excellent.
15:45Full of energy and pace.
15:47And the midfield completely dominated the game.
15:49It was a great all-round performance.
15:54Well, she did most things right out there on the pitch.
15:57Not that that comes as any great shot, given her prowess.
16:00Your verdict as regards what she put into the game.
16:03Well, it was a good performance.
16:04She worked hard, played well and scored a goal.
16:07And her team won.
16:08What more could you ask for?
16:20Oh, great save!
16:27Can they set up a chance?
16:30Can she get...
16:41Can she get...
16:51A gap in the суп einen?
16:51A-
