          ...  He takes it past Jordi_Alba 
          ...  He knocks it to R_Le_Normand! 
          ...  R_Le_Normand could have let it bounce! 
          ...  Terrific shot 
          ...  It takes a bounce of the defender 
          ...  The deflection takes it just wide 
          ...  That's unlucky!
