          ...  D_Souza hacks him down! 
          ...  He's in trouble here!! 
          ...  YELLOW CARD! 
          ...  He deserved that! And was lucky it wasn't more! 
          ...  FREE KICK 
          ...  Just inside their own half 
          ...  D_Vlahovic passes to H_Kane 
          ...  H_Kane carves a shot towards goal! 
          ...  But G_Restes punches it away 
          ...  He commands his area so well
