          ...  R_v_d_Vaart swings it in 
          ...  A_Knauff gets on the end of it 
          ...  But I_Bennacer barges him off the ball. Thou shalt not pass! 
Min. 97 :(wat) D_Collins is taking a throw in 
          ...  He sees a team mate in space 
          ...  He throws it long to A_Knauff 
          ...  A_Knauff drives the shot in! 
          ...  But he's missed it! 
          ...  It's unbelievable, Jeff!
