Min. 89 :(car) M_Harris turns nicely onto the ball 
          ...  The ball hits Joao_Mario in the face! 
          ...  And goes clear! 
Min. 93 :(shu) A_Belotti sprints past M_Gonalons 
          ...  It was as if the defender wasn't even there 
          ...  M_Gotze with a bad challenge 
          ...  That looked malicious 
          ...  It's a yellow, and rightly so 
          ...  YELLOW CARD!!
