00:22Hello from Lisbon, a city that has so much to offer the visitor, and that applies to
00:28this stadium as well, the Estadio do Benfica. My name is Derek Ray, excited to be bringing
00:33you match commentary, and alongside me, my broadcasting partner, Stuart Robson. And with
00:38the game just moments away now, this really ought to be a superb watch. Tell us about
00:43your pre-match thoughts. When looking forward to this game, you can't help but notice there
00:48are some great match-ups all over the pitch, particularly in those central areas. Whichever
00:52team wins more of those battles, will win the game.
01:11And this is how the starting eleven looks for Benfica. Well I think they have a nice balance
01:15to their team. A solid back four, two holding midfielders, three creative players in advance
01:20of them, and a mobile centre forward. It's a good team.
01:41This is the line-up for the visitors today. Well no surprise really, they're matching up here,
01:46but there are many different ways they can approach this game, and I just think they'll be cautious
01:50today, certainly early on.
01:52MALE E哎!
02:01E aí!!
02:04E aí
02:26So underway here, let's see what this game has in store for us.
02:47Davidsson, nicely constructed, here's Davidsson.
03:00Perfect challenge, well good-looking play with the ball of defeat, opportunity to go ahead,
03:16in it goes, that will do nicely for starters, first goal of the game.
03:27Well just watch this again, a change of pace, a change of direction and a decent finish,
03:33that's a very good goal.
03:37So underway again here, 1-0 the score.
03:45Well that wasn't a great challenge.
04:00Well no surprise to see her go for goal, but a routine save in the end.
04:07And pressing from the front, possession problems.
04:12Can she!
04:13The game has been turned on its head, they have never stopped believing and now they sense victory.
04:26Well here it is, head down, hit through the ball and get it on target.
04:30That's a top-class finish, there was no stopping that.
04:462-0 now, and back underway.
05:03Could be threatening.
05:06Oh that is a penalty!
05:12But no card to go with it.
05:14Well she should count herself lucky there.
05:18In it goes!
05:20Coldly converted!
05:28Well the keeper has gone the right way, but it just sneaked under her.
05:45And the ball is moving again.
05:47Anyone's guess how this is going to finish.
05:492-1 currently.
05:55And the challenge holds them in their tracks.
06:09Unable to keep it.
06:13Well that took confidence.
06:17What can she do with it now?
06:19Good bit of defensive positioning.
06:21Could catch them on the break.
06:26Can they profit from this?
06:28And a solid clearance.
06:36And her instincts were strong.
06:43Müller.
06:49Thoughtful play.
07:02And Benfica come away with it.
07:09And an attack that looks promising.
07:12Well nice approach play, but the final pass wasn't quite good enough.
07:16Real chance.
07:18Oh and that's standing challenge!
07:21Oh and that's standing challenge!
07:26Katerina Amado.
07:36And that's boxing her opponents.
07:38Oh, what a heroic piece of defending!
07:41Oh.
07:51Oh.
07:52And that's the same thing.
08:05Oh.
08:06Oh.
08:07Oh.
08:07Oh.
08:08Oh.
08:08out the pass and the managers will now deliver their half-time team talks we're at the end of
08:2045 minutes in this game well I don't think we can argue too much with her first half contribution
08:27so here we go and
08:29Nick
10:39Well, they've got things going again here and I wonder what kind of second half we have
10:43in store for us.
10:47And possession changing hands.
10:54Karolina Müller.
11:01This could square the game and the keeper more than equal to the task.
11:07She's been a joy to watch.
11:09No two ways about that.
11:11But the manager bringing on a fresh player now.
11:18Who's going to get on the end of it?
11:20Well, a really simple catch for the keeper when all was said and done.
11:30Well, you can't afford to stand off her.
11:32Well, snuffed it out completely.
11:36Well, maybe a good position from which to counter.
11:43Karolina Müller.
11:47Could be threatening.
11:50Could even atop.
11:52And able to close down the shots.
11:55Well, they need a lift and attack.
11:57Hence the substitution here.
11:59Yeah, good change this one.
12:00It just provides something different, doesn't it?
12:06And over it comes.
12:08Disappointing delivery sailing over everyone in the middle.
12:12Well, they have it again.
12:21Well, there it is.
12:23Real resilience for you.
12:25Having been two goals down.
12:31Well, we've got Courtknapp in there.
12:33It's such a bad place to lose possession.
12:35It really is.
12:50So they get the game restarted.
12:52And the story here, back from the brink.
12:59Oh, a fine pass.
13:00They look discomforted.
13:02And it's in.
13:03They're back and front.
13:05Stunning scenes here.
13:11Well, just look at this again.
13:13Great technique.
13:14Good accuracy.
13:15And enough power to beat the keeper.
13:17That's an excellent goal.
13:27Well, neutrals are getting their money's worth.
13:303-2 in this match.
13:33Karolina Müller.
13:46And Fika sloppy in possession.
13:50And a brisk run.
13:59Can she convert?
14:01And a bad defensive mistake.
14:04But how about that for a save?
14:06My goodness.
14:06Oh, she needs to thank her keeper there.
14:12And there's the delivery.
14:21Lund.
14:24On to Müller.
14:26Went in strongly, decisively.
14:35Can she deliver?
14:37She's going to be really cross with herself.
14:40Well, she should have done a lot better there.
14:42That was far too easy for the goalkeeper.
14:49Oh, good idea.
14:56What a genuine opportunity.
14:58But it was squandered.
14:59Goal kick.
15:00Yeah, they've missed an opening there.
15:12Well, good run, Mace.
15:13Now, what can she do with it?
15:15Opportunity.
15:17Oh, terrific save.
15:18Yeah, quick off the line.
15:20Read the shot well.
15:21And made a very good save.
15:23Well, the fans are certainly playing their part here.
15:26Just listen to this noise.
15:30And pressing for the equaliser.
15:33Oh, good vision there.
15:41Quick counter could be on.
15:44Oh, they seem to lose all the fire that was burning.
15:58Oh, splendid tackle.
16:00My goodness.
16:01What a piece of defending that was.
16:06Well, the referee has instructed the fourth official to put two minutes on the board.
16:14Carolina Müller.
16:15Carolina Müller.
16:16She could do a bit of damage.
16:21Oh, disappointing end to that.
16:23Happy to shoot.
16:26And so, the final whistle here.
16:28The visitors come out on top, Stuart.
16:32It was very competitive.
16:33Chances at both ends.
16:35But I feel they were...
16:40Opportunity to go ahead.
16:42And so, the last part.
16:43Music.
16:52Music.
16:56I'm Jeff.
16:56I'm Jeff.
17:10I'm Jeff.
17:10I'm Jeff.
17:14You
