          ...  Fernando is late with that one 
          ...  He gets up and shakes the players hand 
          ...  YELLOW CARD!! 
          ...  He is in the book for that one 
          ...  He's got to be careful now! 
          ...  FREE KICK! 
          ...  The crowd expects from this range 
          ...  S_Rhomas passes to F_Cavenaghi 
          ...  F_Cavenaghi tries the shot! 
          ...  The shot slips through N_Atubolu's hands 
          ...  But goes wide! 
          ...  He got away with that!
