Min. 94 :(sch) N_Woltemade with a glorious long pass to Ruben_Neves 
          ...  Ruben_Neves has a dig at goal! 
          ...  J_Pickford gets a hand to it!! 
          ...  But he slots in the rebound 
          ...  No, it's wide!! 
          ...  That was terrible! 
Min. 96 :(sun) B_Bayo makes a run into space 
          ...  W_Bridge with a clumsy challenge 
          ...  It's a yellow, and rightly so 
          ...  YELLOW CARD!!
