          ...  He nicks it past the slide tackle skilfully 
          ...  He only has going for goal in mind! 
          ...  A delicate chip from M_Harris! 
          ...  Wide of goal. Even Simon Clark couldnt work his spin on that woeful effort 
Min. 92 :(nor) The defender underhits the back pass! 
          ...  H_Burrows is through! 
          ...  What a mistake by I_Sangare! 
          ...  H_Burrows with a little chip! 
          ...  J_Pickford beats the ball away
