          ...  K_Mitoma tugs on his opponent's shirt!! 
          ...  The Referee has stopped play 
          ...  Well spotted by The Referee! 
          ...  What a stupid booking that was 
          ...  That's his second of the game! 
          ...  RED CARD!! 
          ...  FREE KICK! 
          ...  Nerves jangling as the free kick is lined up 
          ...  F_Chiesa hits it hard with some tremendous top spin 
          ...  R_Majecki gets a hand to it!! 
          ...  But he slots in the rebound 
          ...  He has put it wide!! 
          ...  He puts his hands on his head in despair!
