          ...  I think he was just trying to get to the ball 
          ...  The Referee calls him over 
          ...  YELLOW CARD!

          ...  T_Kalas goes in with the block tackle 
          ...  He comes out of it with the ball 
          ...  Great tackle! 
Min. 92 :(sun) M_Nunes pass splits open the defence and finds T_Livramento 
          ...  T_Livramento has time and space! 
          ...  He shoots towards goal! 
          ...  The shot takes a wicked deflection 
          ...  Wide!! 
          ...  That was fortunate 
          ...  CORNER! 
          ...  N_Gudelj swings it in! 
          ...  D_Bentley fists it away! 
Min. 92 :(brc) Joao_Pedro with a flashy move 
          ...  But N_Mukiele sees the pass and cuts it out 
Min. 93 :(sun) N_Mukiele plays it to his team mate for a one-two 
          ...  N_Gudelj decides to keep possession instead! 
          ...  He runs towards the goal now! 
          ...  N_Gudelj must beat D_Bentley! 
          ...  OOOOHHHHH!!

          ...  It's gone wide
