          ...  It hits the bar 
          ...  And goes over! 
          ...  That shot was so poor it would make Ronny Rosenthal cringe! 
Min. 94 :(bla) M_Acuna beats M_Pellegrino 
          ...  That was a quick burst of pace to set him free 
          ...  A_Scott rushes in with a clumsy tackle!! 
          ...  That's a foul!! 
          ...  What's The Referee going to give? 
          ...  Play on! 
Min. 96 :(lee) W_Gargano hoofs it upfield to find Savio 
          ...  A well-placed shot from Savio! 
          ...  A_Onana is just going to watch it go over! 
          ...  It dips dramatically!! 
          ...  But goes just over!! 
          ...  A_Onana looks very relieved!
