0:01:12 > 0:01:15- After winning the first two games, - the game in Belgium...

0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Germany was united, but the whole - of Wales was also united...

0:01:51 > 0:01:55- ..on a huge night - in the old National Stadium.

0:01:55 > 0:02:01- COMMENTATOR: Wales, and a deafening - roar from a crowd of around 38,000.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- The Football Association of Wales - say they could have sold...

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- ..twice as many tickets.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11- They had no idea there would be - so much interest in the game.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- A long kick from Southall - gives Ian Rush a chance.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16- And Illgner had to be alert.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Germany were trying to - push up there.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- They were caught very square.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- And Ian Rush... - A good kick from Neville.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Not quite as hard and Ian Rush - would have been on it.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Helmer to Brehme. - Brehme down towards Voller.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42- Melville. It will be important for - Melville to win the first tackle...

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- ..and settle the nerves.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Mark Hughes. Klinsmann is - closing him down. Hughes.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52- He only finds Kohler.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Kohler. Buchwald.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57- Berthold.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- One thing...

0:02:59 > 0:03:05- ..you notice, and we noticed when - they were training on Monday...

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- ..how big, strong and powerful - the Germans seem to be.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- And becoming world champions - is no mean feat.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Jurgen Klinsmann, who has - announced he will retire...

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- ..from international football - in two years' time.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Aizlewood.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Rush. An excellent touch - from Rush to Hughes.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Hughes shows his strength. Saunders - outside. Saunders against Helmer.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- He has two men on him.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41- Phillips!

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- The touch out by Berthold.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Barry Horne and Matthaus.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48- Nicholas.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- A mistake by Reuter. - It's a lively start by Wales.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- It looks as if two men - will mark Dean Saunders...

0:03:55 > 0:03:57- ..whenever he gets the ball.

0:03:57 > 0:04:02- I'm sure the Germans kept an eye - on Dean when we played Belgium...

0:04:02 > 0:04:06- ..and there are two men - on him tonight.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- I think they need to do that - as well.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14- Berthold.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Germany are on a 16-game - unbeaten run.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- They lost 2-1 against France - in February 1990.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- They haven't been at their best - in the European Championship.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- They scraped a 3-2 win - in Luxemburg.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37- It wasn't a great performance - against Belgium in Hannover...

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- ..although they got - an excellent start...

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- ..with a goal from Voller - after two minutes.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Matthaus towards Klinsmann. - Aizlewood is there.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Bodin.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Ratcliffe.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Wales very tidy, - playing the ball out of defence.

0:05:02 > 0:05:07- Nicholas wins a cap to take him - level with Joey Jones' record...

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- ..of 72 caps for his country.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Berthold.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Sammer.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Well, there was a foul on Mark - Hughes but the referee plays on.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31- The foul has gone against Wales. - It's looking very physical, Iwan.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- It is. - It's going to be a physical game.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Mark Hughes was going for the ball - and one of the German players...

0:05:39 > 0:05:44- ..stood in front of him and Mark - Hughes had to run through him.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Matthaus to Sammer, - who is from East Germany.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58- Barry Horne.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Dean Saunders. - He gets the crowd going.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06- The experienced Brehme. Phillips.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08- The touch by Rush.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Barry Horne, - not quite sure what to do.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- He tried to find Phillips - but Helmer was there.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Melville on Voller.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- I think Andy Melville won the ball - in that tackle.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- He was very unlucky to be penalised - there.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31- It looked a very good tackle.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Plenty of fire in the opening - minutes. No-one has settled.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47- Berthold.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Voller.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Hughes. Straight against Sammer.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Nicholas goes in against Voller.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00- Brehme.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- CROWD:- Wales! Wales! Wales!

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Buchwald to Berthold. - Berthold to Brehme.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Buchwald closed down by Nicholas.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15- Klinsmann.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Bodin was there.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- He was fortunate - but he gets the ball away.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Kohler on Rush...

0:07:23 > 0:07:25- ..and the referee sees the foul.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Climbing over Ian Rush.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- That's the third time - he's done that...

0:07:33 > 0:07:38- ..and the first time the referee - has given a free-kick against him.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- But the third time he's done that.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Kohler is one of nine in the squad - who play in Germany.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Seven play in Italy.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Kevin Ratcliffe, the captain, - with the kick.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Aizlewood gets up brilliantly.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03- Horne.

0:08:03 > 0:08:08- And there's an offside, - although Reuter cleared.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- And, Iwan, we might see, - with that kick forward...

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- ..as we see the Wales bench.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Garry Speed, Gareth Hall. - Eric Young's on the far side.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Eric Young is a big loss for Wales - from attacking free-kicks.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Yes, he's such a big man.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Every time I've seen him play - for Wales, he's been excellent.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34- He'll be a big loss but let's hope - Andy Melville can do a job tonight.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36- Reuter.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Helmer. Berthold.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Hughes is there. Sammer.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- He was effective against Belgium - and keeps his place tonight.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Klinsmann turns well - and the shot from Klinsmann!

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Southall. Another opportunity.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Reuter gets there before Ratcliffe.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58- It was a curling shot.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Back in from Matthaus. - A chance for Voller! Brehme!

0:09:03 > 0:09:05- An important tackle by Phillips.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Mark Aizlewood tried to jump in - to win the ball...

0:09:13 > 0:09:17- ..and Klinsmann turned him - and got a very good shot away.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- As you said, it was curling.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Neville Southall did well - to save it, fair play.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32- It wasn't easy. It looked as if it - was going straight at Southall...

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- ..but it was curling - and Wales were slightly fortunate.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Berthold has plenty of space. - Too much space, perhaps.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Sammer. Voller. He wasn't offside.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46- These are dangerous and worrying - moments for Wales.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- The Germans are looking - very confident, I must say.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- They do.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56- I thought Wales had a good - opening three minutes...

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- ..but it looks as if Germany - are coming more into the game.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Their defence is pushing up.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Neville Southall is level - with Dai Davies' record...

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- ..of 52 caps as a goalkeeper.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Aizlewood. Berthold is there.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16- Klinsmann and Horne.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Sammer.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- The pitch looks in great condition.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31- In training on Monday, the Wales - players felt the grass was long.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- It has been cut and we've had - some rain in Cardiff today.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37- The pitch won't be too hard.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Nicholas. Berthold.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- No pressure on Berthold - but he makes a mess of things.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- A strong header from Hughes.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Hughes had a spell in Germany - on loan with Bayern Munich.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- I think Mark Hughes will be out to - prove one or two things tonight...

0:11:08 > 0:11:12- ..and he's one of the players - who can win the game for Wales.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Reuter.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Berthold coming forward again. - He's been prominent.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Sammer to Buchwald.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Voller.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30- Kohler.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Offside against Klinsmann.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Andrew Melville.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43- He was looking forward to the game - although he admitted...

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- ..half an hour before the game - that he felt nervous. Brehme.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Matthaus. Voller.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Melville wins an important tackle.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Wales look confident on the ball - as well.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58- An excellent move.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00- Rush.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Beaten by Kohler.

0:12:06 > 0:12:11- That will give Andrew Melville - confidence, winning a good tackle.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13- And he passed well.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16- CROWD:- Wales! Wales! Wales!

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- It's unlikely there's been - an atmosphere like this...

0:12:19 > 0:12:23- ..at an international football - match in Wales for some time.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Nicholas. Phillips.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Helmer.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34- Barry Horne towards Voller.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Hughes goes in hard - and wins the tackle.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46- I think Rudi Voller knows that - Mark Hughes is on the field.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Yes, I don't think he liked that.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52- But it was another good tackle, - going through and winning the ball.

0:13:01 > 0:13:06- Terry Yorath believes one goal - will win the game tonight.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- He thinks Wales will win...

0:13:08 > 0:13:12- ..and the goal won't be scored by - one of the main players.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Over ten minutes have gone - and it remains goalless.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18- Reuter.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Hughes. Horne. Oh, excellent!

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Football of the highest standard - from Wales.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Berthold was in the right place.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Although he might have half used - his hand to stop the ball.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- That's what comes from spending - 12 days together as a squad.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Yes, it's a big help...

0:13:50 > 0:13:54- ..that the whole team went to - Poland and played a game there.

0:13:54 > 0:14:00- They have been together for 12 days - and got to know each other again.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- It helps them understand - how each other play.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05- It's very important.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Berthold. Brehme.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Helmer. Reuter, rather.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Buchwald. Hughes goes in hard.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- And Wales win possession. Saunders.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25- It was the right idea.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Berthold.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Klinsmann against Aizlewood.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Nicholas.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46- Phillips.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48- Ratcliffe.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Ratcliffe towards... - He saw Dave Phillips making a run.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- It takes a lot to beat Brehme.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58- But...

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- ..Brehme makes a mistake for once.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Rush.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06- Bodin is free.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Ratcliffe. He hasn't seen him.

0:15:09 > 0:15:10- Saunders.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Hughes.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- He needed a better touch.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17- Aizlewood. Well...

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- ..it's hard to tell with Klinsmann - whether or not he's been touched.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- The crowd are whistling - and booing him.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Like I've said, - all you have to do is touch him.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35- He just rolls around on the floor.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- He might have caught him - a little bit late there.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40- We'll give him that one.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42- But that's the danger.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Once you're accused of coning - a referee...

0:15:45 > 0:15:49- ..the crowd and the referee - question it every time.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Well, if he goes down again, - the crowd won't believe him.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Brehme.

0:15:58 > 0:15:59- Matthaus.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Voller. Aizlewood is there.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Horne.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Saunders and Horne again.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Matthaus.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Matthaus is everywhere. - The left, the right and the middle.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- 88 caps for his country.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- He has got such a good engine.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- He doesn't stop running.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Kohler.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Reuter outside. They trained - like this on Monday night.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Paul Bodin makes the tackle.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- A very good tackle by Paul...

0:16:46 > 0:16:49- ..but they gave them - too much time in midfield.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Quarter of an hour gone - and it's still goalless.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Reuter. Time to cross this time.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Klinsmann gets there - with Buchwald.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07- Guido Buchwald can use his height - at corners and so on.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12- But Berthold and Kohler have had - a lot of space to come forward.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16- They get the ball at their feet - and they just run through midfield.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20- It's important that a Welsh player - closes them down...

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- ..as soon as they get the ball.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26- Melville to Rush.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Hughes.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36- No doubt in Helmer's mind - what he was going to do.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Saunders.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- A strong tackle on Saunders - by Helmer.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Aizlewood. Ratcliffe.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Plenty of movement.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Hughes and Buchwald. A foul - on Mark Hughes by Buchwald.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03- He was pushed.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- An excellent ball - from Kevin Ratcliffe.

0:18:07 > 0:18:11- He could only do one thing there - - give a free-kick away.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17- An excellent chance for Wales.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Peter Nicholas is there.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26- This is where Clayton Blackmore - would be so useful.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30- David Phillips and Bodin are there. - It comes towards Bodin.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- The referee decides the kick - was taken too quickly.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Only Ratcliffe and Barry Horne - are back marking Klinsmann.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Variety this time. Phillips - towards Aizlewood, who jumps!

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Reuter was there.

0:18:50 > 0:18:51- Rush with the foul.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56- But Wales show they can cause - Germany problems in the air.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59- It was an excellent free-kick.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Mark Aizlewood made the run - and got to the back post...

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- ..but he just failed - with the header down.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08- He was unlucky.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12- He jumped a little bit too early.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Matthaus on the left now.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17- Klinsmann.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21- Sammer is there.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Berthold.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Reuter.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Voller.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Aizlewood wins the tackle.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48- I don't think Voller will get - much change out of Mark Aizlewood.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53- Every time he gets the ball, - they close him down.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58- It was interesting to hear Mark - Aizlewood say international...

0:19:58 > 0:20:02- ..football is easier than Division - Two because he gets more time.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Yes, he gets a lot more time - when he plays for Wales.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09- You don't get much time - in Division Two.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13- I'm sure he'll enjoy himself - tonight.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Bodin straight to Reuter.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- An important tackle by Nicholas.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21- Rush.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Nicholas in again.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Players like Nicholas and Ian Rush - are aware that this is...

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- ..their last chance - to reach a major championship.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36- I was reading the paper today...

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- ..and Ian Rush said he's won - everything with Liverpool...

0:20:39 > 0:20:44- ..and the only thing he wants now - is to go to a major championship...

0:20:44 > 0:20:46- ..with Wales.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49- This could be his last chance.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Germany are accustomed to success.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02- They've won the World Cup - three times...

0:21:02 > 0:21:06- ..the European Championships twice, - in '72 and '80...

0:21:06 > 0:21:10- ..and lost on penalties in '76 - against Czechoslovakia.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- And they are the reigning - world champions.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Look at Paul Bodin...

0:21:19 > 0:21:22- ..all the way up - in the front line...

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- ..to put pressure on Reuter.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Horne goes in hard.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33- That was some tackle.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40- It's interesting to - see the Germans...

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- ..they're playing the ball - patiently across the back...

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- ..looking comfortable, but the - high ball forces them to turn...

0:21:48 > 0:21:52- ..and run back - and they don't look as comfortable.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54- I'm surprised by that.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56- They are pushing up...

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- ..and one long ball - is forcing them to turn...

0:21:59 > 0:22:03- ..and the Welsh players - have the run on them.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07- But Klinsmann has said they - haven't come for a draw...

0:22:07 > 0:22:10- ..and I don't think they have, - fair play.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16- Nicholas.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Not as quick as he used to be.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23- But he's still an experienced - player with Watford.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Helmer. Brehme.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Matthaus.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Brehme in space on the left.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Sammer is ahead of him.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45- A great run by Buchwald. - No-one has picked him up.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Towards Voller. Klinsmann is there. - So is Bodin.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Reuter with the shot!

0:22:52 > 0:22:57- Reuter saw the corner of Neville - Southall's goal for a second...

0:22:57 > 0:23:01- ..but the keeper made the save and - it's the first corner of the game.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04- We've played just over 20 minutes.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10- No-one picked up Buchwald when - he made the run forward there.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12- A good cross.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14- And a good shot.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16- The kick from Brehme.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19- It curls in. Klinsmann is there.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21- But Southall catches it.

0:23:23 > 0:23:27- The best chances so far - have fallen to Germany.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Neville Southall...

0:23:29 > 0:23:31- ..saved from Reuter.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- He gives his defence - so much confidence.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42- They know they have one of the best - keepers in the world behind them.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- That makes a big difference - to the defence.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Helmer to Buchwald.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58- The same pattern over the years.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Consistency in choosing managers...

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- ..like Schon...

0:24:04 > 0:24:07- ..Jupp Derwall, Beckenbauer - and now Berti Vogts.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10- And the same pattern of play.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14- But no success there - as Reuter is tackled.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35- A foul on Hughes by Buchwald, - not for the first time.

0:24:37 > 0:24:38- Nicholas. Rush.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42- Horne.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46- No-one in the middle - because Ian Rush had come wide.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Saunders.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Too many Germans around him.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Terry Yorath on his feet.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- I wonder whether he's happy - with the way things are going.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17- I would think so.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21- They've had one or two chances and - Neville has kept us in the game...

0:25:21 > 0:25:26- ..but I think we've played - some very good football...

0:25:26 > 0:25:29- ..but we haven't got that - final ball into the box.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33- Hughes.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37- He finds Bodin. - Klinsmann is after him.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Bodin.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Klinsmann shows that he has the - ability to work hard as well.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50- It's interesting to note that - while the Germans...

0:25:50 > 0:25:52- ..were threatening to attack...

0:25:52 > 0:25:55- ..Brehme was screaming - at his players to push up.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59- As Iwan Roberts mentioned, - they have come here to win.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Sammer wasn't quite sure - what to do.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07- Reuter.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Only as far as... Aizlewood. - Aizlewood to Rush.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Rush was caught a bit late - by Sammer...

0:26:14 > 0:26:16- ..but he couldn't win the ball.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Sammer is one of two - from East Germany in the squad.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Thomas Doll is the other. - He's on the bench tonight.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Sammer played 23 times - for East Germany...

0:26:27 > 0:26:31- ..and has played three times - for Germany.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39- Berthold.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Voller.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43- A foul by Voller...

0:26:43 > 0:26:45- ..on Andrew Melville.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50- I don't think he's too happy...

0:26:50 > 0:26:52- ..with the referee there.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- He gave a free-kick against him. - He wasn't happy.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02- Nicholas.

0:27:19 > 0:27:20- Matthaus.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32- The referee blew the whistle.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Aizlewood fouling Klinsmann.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Berthold.

0:27:42 > 0:27:43- Reuter.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Kohler.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Saunders puts Kohler under - pressure. Rush to find Saunders.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52- The touch by Kohler was enough. - Reuter.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55- Berthold. Reuter.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19- Kohler.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22- Not much movement at the moment.

0:28:22 > 0:28:23- Kohler...

0:28:25 > 0:28:27- ..puts pressure on Brehme.

0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Berthold forward once again. - Mark Hughes tries to stop him.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36- Berthold has spent more time - in Wales' half than in his own.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Sammer.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42- Buchwald goes in strongly.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- 26 minutes gone, Iwan.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- What sort of pattern are you seeing - at the moment?

0:28:51 > 0:28:56- Well, I think the Germans have - come here for the two points...

0:28:56 > 0:29:01- ..and they push the ball around - the field very well, fair play.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Wales have been lucky - on two occasions...

0:29:05 > 0:29:10- ..but if Wales can get the final - ball into the penalty box...

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- ..they have every chance.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21- Wales' next game is in Nuremberg, - in October.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24- It's very important that - they don't lose tonight.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26- Hughes. Saunders.

0:29:30 > 0:29:31- Towards Rush.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Melville and Voller. - Voller wins it. Klinsmann.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41- Melville. Horne.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Barry Horne will be happy - with his performance...

0:29:45 > 0:29:48- ..tackling - and good touches in midfield.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51- He's been playing right-back - for Southampton...

0:29:51 > 0:29:54- ..and it's not easy - to change positions.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57- As you said, - he's winning his tackles...

0:29:57 > 0:29:59- ..and he's passed the ball well - as well.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05- And he wins the ball in the air.

0:30:11 > 0:30:12- Melville.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20- Looking at the National Stadium - today, every seat has been sold.

0:30:23 > 0:30:24- There's an offside.

0:30:25 > 0:30:29- It shows... Some people - look at Welsh football...

0:30:29 > 0:30:32- ..and the positions in - the Football League...

0:30:32 > 0:30:35- ..and say the standard - isn't high...

0:30:35 > 0:30:39- ..but it shows what's possible, - like the Republic of Ireland.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41- The interest is there.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43- Yes, I think, as you say...

0:30:43 > 0:30:47- ..the people have turned up here.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50- But it's hard to say.

0:30:50 > 0:30:55- It's such a big game tonight - and people were coming up to me...

0:30:55 > 0:30:58- ..outside the ground, - asking me if I had tickets.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Saunders.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Phillips.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Phillips. - Matthaus is back defending.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Sammer and Nicholas.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Nicholas to Phillips.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18- Melville.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20- An excellent touch by Saunders. - Barry Horne.

0:31:20 > 0:31:25- Matthaus is back defending. - Matthaus is everywhere tonight.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30- He looked like he was feeling - his thigh.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33- He has been carrying a knee injury.

0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Losing Matthaus would be a blow - for Germany, that's for sure.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40- He's just holding his leg.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46- I think Mark Aizlewood - needs some treatment.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50- I didn't see what happened.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54- But you can see Matthaus - holding his leg.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10- There's the injury - to Mark Aizlewood.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14- I'm not sure what happened

0:32:14 > 0:32:16- Ron Stitfall...

0:32:17 > 0:32:19- ..is giving him some treatment.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22- He's recovered.

0:32:23 > 0:32:28- I don't think you'll be able to get - Mark Aizlewood off the field.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34- Matthaus seems to be moving OK. - He's holding his leg.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43- Melville. Rush and Kohler.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46- Horne. Saunders.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50- Kohler and Rush again.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53- Bodin.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Nicholas.

0:32:57 > 0:32:58- Saunders.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00- Brehme is there.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Peter Nicholas should have - taken a shot there...

0:33:07 > 0:33:09- ..rather than crossing to Dean...

0:33:10 > 0:33:12- ..because he was just outside - the box.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14- Buchwald.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16- Reuter.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Terry Yorath will want to sit down - after the game.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Talking to Peter Shreeves.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33- Have they seen something - they need to change?

0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Peter Shreeves has been praised - by the players...

0:33:36 > 0:33:39- ..for the work he does as coach.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Voller. Sammer is beside him.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Reuter joins the attack.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48- Straight to Nicholas.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52- Rush is caught by Kohler.

0:33:53 > 0:33:58- That's the second time - and Rush has a word with Kohler.

0:33:58 > 0:34:02- Every time Ian Rush gets the ball - he does something to him.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06- I've been watching and he's pulling - his shirt or kicking him.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12- Nicholas with the pass.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15- It looks as though Kohler - didn't even see Ian Rush.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19- I don't think he knew he was there, - the way he went through him.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Aizlewood with the kick.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Hughes is caught by Buchwald - and the referee has seen it.

0:34:27 > 0:34:31- And it's a free-kick - in a very dangerous position...

0:34:31 > 0:34:35- ..defensively for Germany - and attacking wise for Wales.

0:34:35 > 0:34:39- It would be very handy to have - Clayton Blackmore here now.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42- He's in the stand - working for radio.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45- He might come on to take the kick.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Well, the crowd...

0:34:49 > 0:34:50- ..are on their feet.

0:34:51 > 0:34:52- They sense...

0:34:52 > 0:34:55- He must have said something.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57- Berthold...

0:35:01 > 0:35:03- ..is walking away.

0:35:03 > 0:35:08- He wanted to change the referee's - mind but Matthaus has been booked.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13- They threw the ball in his face.

0:35:13 > 0:35:17- Is the referee going to talk - to a Welsh player?

0:35:17 > 0:35:19- There are five on yellow cards.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Peter Nicholas is guilty - of throwing the ball...

0:35:22 > 0:35:26- ..into Matthaus' face.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28- A yellow card for Peter Nicholas.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31- That was stupid. - He didn't have to do anything.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35- They had the free-kick. - He didn't have to throw the ball.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38- That has cost him a booking now.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41- One more and he will miss a game.

0:35:41 > 0:35:46- He should know better - - a player of his experience.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51- He's been around for a long time. - He should know better.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Phillips and Bodin and Nicholas - are there.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59- The sixth player from Wales - on a yellow card...

0:35:59 > 0:36:02- ..in these championships.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Bodin and Phillips.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08- Phillips with his right foot. - Bodin with his left, perhaps.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Illgner is making sure - everyone's in the wall.

0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Phillips. Bodin!

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- The wall does its job. - Nicholas. Horne.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Klinsmann and Nicholas tussle. - Voller.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31- He can't reach Klinsmann - with the pass.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35- He does in the end - but Aizlewood gets there.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Klinsmann. - It's getting very physical...

0:36:38 > 0:36:40- ..and I think Nicholas is down.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Klinsmann caught him.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48- The referee will have to - get things under control.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52- He needs to take control. - It's got very physical.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56- We had a good start but there's - been some kicking, pushing...

0:36:56 > 0:36:58- ..and bickering going on.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07- The kick towards Rush.

0:37:07 > 0:37:11- Hughes. Kohler is there again. - Behind him is Bodin.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Bodin.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19- A lovely cross. - Illgner doesn't punch it cleanly.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Saunders. It comes to Horne. - Horne with the shot!

0:37:22 > 0:37:24- A corner for Wales.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Once again, Germany trying to - push up and one stays back...

0:37:28 > 0:37:32- ..and allows three Welsh players - to go for the ball.

0:37:33 > 0:37:37- An excellent cross from Paul Bodin - and the keeper couldn't hold it.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Ten minutes until half time...

0:37:42 > 0:37:45- ..and Wales' first corner kick.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Voller away. - Bodin sensibly to Nicholas.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51- Sammer.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Bodin.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Horne.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- He thinks about the shot. - It's against the bar!

0:38:00 > 0:38:03- The closest we've come to a goal.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05- That was a great shot - from Barry Horne.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- I didn't think he'd shoot, - he was so far out.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12- But an excellent shot which - hit the top of the crossbar.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16- He gets the ball - and he's a long way out.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20- An excellent shot. - It hits the top of the crossbar.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24- It was always coming down.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28- I thought it was going over the bar - but it came down.

0:38:28 > 0:38:33- If you asked Illgner, I'm sure - he'd say he had it covered...

0:38:33 > 0:38:36- ..but I don't think he did.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48- CROWD:- # Hymns and arias

0:38:48 > 0:38:52- # Land of my fathers

0:38:52 > 0:38:54- # Ar hyd y nos. #

0:38:55 > 0:38:56- Matthaus.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00- CROWD:- # And we were singing

0:39:00 > 0:39:02- # Hymns and arias... #

0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Ratcliffe and Sammer, - but there's an offside.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Well, the crowd have been - encouraged...

0:39:09 > 0:39:12- ..by that shot by Barry Horne.

0:39:14 > 0:39:19- I think the play leading up to - the corner lifted them as well.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21- It was good play from Wales, - fair play.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23- Things are looking up.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Berthold. Matthaus.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31- Phillips.

0:39:33 > 0:39:34- Hughes.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Phillips. Barry Horne makes a run.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45- A good touch by Sammer.

0:39:45 > 0:39:48- Klinsmann. Berthold. - Excellent by the Germans.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Voller has to turn.

0:39:52 > 0:39:56- He beats Phillips - and looks to go on his own.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00- It was disappointing in the end - but it was a good move...

0:40:00 > 0:40:03- ..from one end to the other.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06- It was one-touch football.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08- A great touch from Klinsmann...

0:40:09 > 0:40:13- ..and a good run from Voller - but the shot...

0:40:13 > 0:40:15- ..didn't trouble Neville Southall.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20- Ratcliffe.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23- Asking too much of Ian Rush.

0:40:42 > 0:40:43- Buchwald.

0:40:46 > 0:40:47- Klinsmann.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49- Sammer.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53- Reuter.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Fortunate to get a second chance...

0:41:00 > 0:41:04- ..but for a second I thought - Klinsmann would get the ball.

0:41:06 > 0:41:07- Berthold to Kohler.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10- Brehme.

0:41:11 > 0:41:12- Reuter.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Helmer. Matthaus.

0:41:17 > 0:41:21- He fools Paul Bodin. - Klinsmann against Ratcliffe.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Ratcliffe shows the value - of a sweeper.

0:41:25 > 0:41:26- Aizlewood.

0:41:27 > 0:41:33- Wales have enough confidence - to play the ball out of defence.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36- That's a sign of a good team - and good players.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38- A lovely pass from Melville.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Saunders has the speed - to beat Helmer...

0:41:41 > 0:41:44- ..and the ability to beat Brehme.

0:41:44 > 0:41:45- Phillips.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50- Rush. Bodin comes in! - Matthaus gets it away.

0:41:51 > 0:41:56- Matthaus did very well there - to stay with Paul Bodin.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00- I think he would have scored. - A good cross from David Phillips.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04- And a lovely pass - from Andrew Melville...

0:42:04 > 0:42:07- ..to give Dean Saunders - the chance to run.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12- Phillips.

0:42:12 > 0:42:13- Hughes.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Helmer is there. Brehme.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22- We can have another look at - the shot which hit the bar.

0:42:22 > 0:42:26- The closest we've come to a goal - in the first half.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30- The ball comes out to Barry Horne - here.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34- He is a long way out, fair play.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37- Not much backswing, - an excellent shot...

0:42:37 > 0:42:40- ..and it hit the crossbar.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43- If it was a bit lower, - the keeper wouldn't have saved it.

0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Wales were unlucky. - The closest we've come to a goal.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Four minutes until half time. - Still goalless.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Wales have never beaten Germany.

0:42:55 > 0:42:59- They have played eight times - and had four draws.

0:43:00 > 0:43:04- This is the ninth game - and it's the most important.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10- I hope you can taste the atmosphere - at home.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12- It's extraordinary.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17- They had a good start, - the Germans...

0:43:17 > 0:43:21- ..but, so far, Wales have matched - them, if not been the better team.

0:43:22 > 0:43:24- Rush. Bodin.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27- Nicholas. It comes off Sammer.

0:43:27 > 0:43:31- Paul Bodin is always trying to - get past his man.

0:43:34 > 0:43:35- Saunders.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43- Well, we've seen that sort - of behaviour from the crowd.

0:43:43 > 0:43:48- They've stopped now, but it started - at the World Cup in Mexico.

0:43:52 > 0:43:54- Nicholas to Saunders.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59- Ratcliffe is on his own.

0:44:08 > 0:44:13- There it is. The Mexican Wave - we saw at the World Cup finals...

0:44:13 > 0:44:15- ..in 1986.

0:44:17 > 0:44:21- I saw them do this in Hannover - before Germany played Belgium...

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- ..and they kept going - for quarter of an hour.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27- They were too tired - to watch the game!

0:44:27 > 0:44:30- It must be a cold night - or something!

0:44:33 > 0:44:37- It's an excellent atmosphere for - an international football match...

0:44:37 > 0:44:41- ..and it shows the value of playing - in this stadium...

0:44:41 > 0:44:44- ..rather than Ninian Park, - The Racecourse or The Vetch.

0:44:47 > 0:44:51- Goalless as we approach half time. - The touch from Reuter.

0:44:51 > 0:44:54- For once he beats Bodin - but Aizlewood is across.

0:45:06 > 0:45:08- Klinsmann. Reuter.

0:45:08 > 0:45:12- CROWD:- Wales! Wales! Wales! Wales!

0:45:12 > 0:45:14- Barry Horne misses - his first tackle...

0:45:14 > 0:45:17- ..but Hughes wins possession.

0:45:17 > 0:45:21- Saunders. Ratcliffe decides - to join the attack.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23- Does he have the pace?

0:45:26 > 0:45:28- Is that a sign of confidence...

0:45:28 > 0:45:31- ..that Kevin Ratcliffe - will join the attack?

0:45:31 > 0:45:35- They are full of life, - the way they're playing.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37- Kevin Ratcliffe pushing up there...

0:45:37 > 0:45:40- ..it shows a lot of confidence.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43- Something has to happen...

0:45:43 > 0:45:46- ..so let's hope it's a goal - for Wales.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52- I don't think it will be goalless.

0:45:59 > 0:46:00- Buchwald.

0:46:01 > 0:46:04- Helmer and Saunders. Reuter.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14- The last minute of the first half.

0:46:15 > 0:46:16- Goalless.

0:46:16 > 0:46:20- The lights are coming on - at the National Stadium.

0:46:22 > 0:46:25- Matthaus does well. Voller.

0:46:25 > 0:46:29- Aizlewood waits for the right time - to make the tackle.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31- Bodin comes across.

0:46:32 > 0:46:33- Matthaus.

0:46:33 > 0:46:35- Klinsmann.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39- Bodin. Horne.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40- Ratcliffe.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42- Berthold.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44- Buchwald.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50- Klinsmann controls the ball - cleanly.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52- Reuter.

0:46:52 > 0:46:55- Sammer is in an attacking position.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01- We are in injury time. - The shot from Reuter.

0:47:02 > 0:47:04- Sammer and Southall.

0:47:07 > 0:47:13- Southall has to stop the ball - from coming back on the field.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17- Neville Southall did well there, - kicking the ball away...

0:47:18 > 0:47:20- ..to stop Sammer getting it.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22- It gave him time to get back - in goal.

0:47:27 > 0:47:29- Klinsmann.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33- Brehme!

0:47:37 > 0:47:39- Good save.

0:47:39 > 0:47:41- WHISTLE

0:47:42 > 0:47:47- Andreas Brehme had the last shot - of the first half.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51- At the break - at the National Stadium...

0:47:51 > 0:47:55- ..where there's a great atmosphere - - deafening, to be honest...

0:47:55 > 0:47:59- ..the score is Wales 0, - the world champions Germany 0.

0:48:03 > 0:48:03- .

0:48:05 > 0:48:05- Subtitles

0:48:05 > 0:48:07- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:48:10 > 0:48:11- Welcome back.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15- It was goalless at half time - between Wales and Germany...

0:48:15 > 0:48:17- ..in the qualifying group - for Euro '92...

0:48:17 > 0:48:20- ..and there was a big second - half to come.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24- COMMENTATOR: Doll certainly - showing his ability there.

0:48:24 > 0:48:26- Ratcliffe is there.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30- Aizlewood to Hughes.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39- Phillips. Rush.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43- A gap appeared for just a moment.

0:48:43 > 0:48:45- Saunders.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47- Bodin.

0:48:48 > 0:48:52- Up against Berthold. It comes - off Berthold for a corner.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56- I think that's just what we needed.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58- The crowd are starting - to shout now...

0:48:59 > 0:49:01- ..and Wales have a corner.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06- Wales have the first corner - of the second half.

0:49:06 > 0:49:08- It's only their second - of the match.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13- We have some tall players as well.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16- Let's hope we can make - something of this.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19- Along the floor by Nicholas - this time.

0:49:19 > 0:49:22- An opportunity to cross, but he - can't. Klinsmann comes back.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26- Klinsmann's touch to Kohler.

0:49:26 > 0:49:27- Kohler.

0:49:31 > 0:49:35- I hate to see a corner - go to waste like that.

0:49:35 > 0:49:38- Instead of getting it - into the penalty area...

0:49:38 > 0:49:40- ..where there is a - chance to score...

0:49:40 > 0:49:42- ..they played it short - and lost the ball.

0:49:43 > 0:49:44- I think it's a waste.

0:49:49 > 0:49:50- Voller.

0:49:51 > 0:49:52- Doll.

0:49:54 > 0:49:55- Voller again.

0:49:56 > 0:49:57- He's brought down by Hughes.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01- Aizlewood kicks the ball - straight at Voller.

0:50:03 > 0:50:07- I think Mark Hughes was very - lucky there not to be booked.

0:50:07 > 0:50:11- Voller is still arguing - with the referee.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16- Mark Hughes and Voller. Mark Hughes - already has one yellow card.

0:50:17 > 0:50:18- He can't afford another one...

0:50:18 > 0:50:22- ..or he'll be out of the game - in Nuremberg in October.

0:50:22 > 0:50:23- Sammer.

0:50:24 > 0:50:25- Berthold.

0:50:28 > 0:50:29- Buchwald. Aizlewood behind him.

0:50:30 > 0:50:31- Reuter is also there and Bodin.

0:50:34 > 0:50:36- A foul by Buchwald.

0:50:39 > 0:50:42- You can't see him at the moment - but Brehme isn't happy at all.

0:50:44 > 0:50:46- It's a throw.

0:50:46 > 0:50:48- Horne.

0:50:48 > 0:50:49- Sammer.

0:50:51 > 0:50:53- Ratcliffe wins it. Bodin.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58- Hughes. He turns away - from Buchwald.

0:50:58 > 0:50:59- Rush.

0:51:00 > 0:51:03- There's room out here - for David Phillips.

0:51:03 > 0:51:06- Phillips. - Ratcliffe joins the attack.

0:51:06 > 0:51:07- Saunders.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09- The Welsh player of the year.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14- He could win a corner. - But Illgner gets there quickly.

0:51:15 > 0:51:19- Again, Mark Hughes turning Buchwald - as if he wasn't there...

0:51:19 > 0:51:22- ..and Buchwald was pulling - his shorts and shirt...

0:51:22 > 0:51:24- ..trying anything - to bring him down.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29- Sammer loses possession. Nicholas.

0:51:35 > 0:51:36- Saunders.

0:51:36 > 0:51:40- He hasn't had much opportunity yet - to run at the German defence...

0:51:40 > 0:51:42- ..as he likes to do, - but he did well there.

0:51:42 > 0:51:44- Rush.

0:51:44 > 0:51:47- The first touch not quite - good enough from Ian Rush.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52- A good move once again - by Wales there.

0:51:52 > 0:51:55- Excellent football, fair play.

0:51:58 > 0:52:02- Andrew Melville pushing his hand - into Rudi Voller's face.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05- But Melville will feel - happy enough.

0:52:05 > 0:52:09- It's goalless and I'm sure - Andrew Melville's confidence...

0:52:09 > 0:52:11- ..will increase - as the game goes on...

0:52:11 > 0:52:14- ..and Rudi Voller maybe - starting to feel frustrated.

0:52:14 > 0:52:19- Andrew Melville is shouting at - players like Kevin Ratcliffe...

0:52:19 > 0:52:22- ..and David Phillips - and he's growing into the game.

0:52:23 > 0:52:26- Fair play, he hasn't - put a foot wrong yet.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31- Kohler. Brehme.

0:52:32 > 0:52:33- Doll.

0:52:36 > 0:52:38- Brehme helps him. Sammer is there.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41- Voller.

0:52:42 > 0:52:45- That's not what David Phillips - intended.

0:52:45 > 0:52:47- Rush tries to beat Brehme - but fails.

0:52:48 > 0:52:49- Kohler.

0:52:50 > 0:52:52- Mark Hughes' foot was high.

0:52:54 > 0:52:58- Mark Hughes was fortunate there - not to catch Buchwald.

0:52:58 > 0:53:00- I'm glad he didn't.

0:53:00 > 0:53:03- I don't know what would have - happened if he had caught him.

0:53:04 > 0:53:06- I think he'd have been - off the field.

0:53:06 > 0:53:09- He'd probably still have - been here tomorrow!

0:53:11 > 0:53:13- Saunders and Helmer.

0:53:14 > 0:53:16- Helmer is strong enough - to hold off Dean Saunders.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23- The Germans at the beginning - of this second half...

0:53:24 > 0:53:27- ..seem to have slowed the game down - and are taking time...

0:53:27 > 0:53:30- ..to adjust to the fact that - Matthaus isn't on the pitch.

0:53:30 > 0:53:32- I was just going to say that.

0:53:32 > 0:53:36- They're taking more time - than they were in the first half.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40- It might be to do with the fact - Matthaus has left the field.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43- But let's hope Wales - can keep going.

0:53:45 > 0:53:49- Voller jumped straight - into Andrew Melville there.

0:53:53 > 0:53:54- Ratcliffe.

0:53:57 > 0:53:59- Hughes. Ratcliffe again.

0:53:59 > 0:54:03- David Phillips is finding space on - this right side at the moment...

0:54:03 > 0:54:05- ..but nobody saw him that time.

0:54:05 > 0:54:07- He has so much room.

0:54:07 > 0:54:10- One good ball out - to David Phillips...

0:54:10 > 0:54:12- ..and he has so much space - to run into...

0:54:12 > 0:54:14- ..he could cause a lot of problems.

0:54:22 > 0:54:23- Buchwald.

0:54:27 > 0:54:28- Helmer.

0:54:31 > 0:54:32- Klinsmann.

0:54:34 > 0:54:35- Brehme.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39- Five touches, six touches.

0:54:41 > 0:54:42- They're making Wales work...

0:54:42 > 0:54:45- ..and making them come - to look for the ball.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53- Sammer.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55- This is an excellent move...

0:54:55 > 0:54:58- ..but in the end Klinsmann - failed to find Sammer.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01- It's the same sort of thing - that was happening to Wales...

0:55:02 > 0:55:03- ..in the first half.

0:55:03 > 0:55:07- Excellent football but the final - ball is letting them down.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10- Terry Yorath didn't look - too happy there.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14- No. I think he had one or two - things to shout about there.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18- I'm glad we couldn't hear - what it was!

0:55:28 > 0:55:31- Thomas Helmer, who plays for - Borussia Dortmund.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40- At the moment, - the Germans have managed...

0:55:40 > 0:55:42- ..to extinguish the Welsh fire...

0:55:42 > 0:55:45- ..that was so apparent at the - end of that first half.

0:55:45 > 0:55:50- And not only that, they have also - managed to silence the crowd.

0:55:50 > 0:55:55- But one mistake and Wales attack - once again.

0:56:05 > 0:56:06- Hughes.

0:56:06 > 0:56:08- Phillips.

0:56:10 > 0:56:11- Nicholas.

0:56:14 > 0:56:16- Sammer.

0:56:17 > 0:56:19- A strong tackle by Aizlewood.

0:56:27 > 0:56:29- Saunders was offside.

0:56:29 > 0:56:31- The crowd wasn't - too happy with that.

0:56:31 > 0:56:34- Those who were in line - with the linesman...

0:56:34 > 0:56:38- ..weren't too happy - with that decision.

0:56:38 > 0:56:40- It's difficult to tell - from the replay...

0:56:40 > 0:56:44- ..whether Dean Saunders started - his run before the pass.

0:56:47 > 0:56:49- Kohler. Klinsmann.

0:56:51 > 0:56:53- Turns one way and then the other.

0:56:56 > 0:56:58- Times his pass but only - as far as Ratcliffe.

0:57:01 > 0:57:03- Rush and Kohler.

0:57:03 > 0:57:04- A foul by Ian Rush.

0:57:08 > 0:57:12- I think he was holding him down.

0:57:12 > 0:57:18- I think that was the right decision - by the referee.

0:57:19 > 0:57:21- 10 minutes into the second half...

0:57:21 > 0:57:24- ..and it's goalless here - at the National Stadium.

0:57:24 > 0:57:26- Klinsmann for Germany. Sammer.

0:57:26 > 0:57:28- A misunderstanding.

0:57:29 > 0:57:33- To be fair, as we see the foul - on Ian Rush...

0:57:33 > 0:57:35- ..Rush was also committing a foul.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40- Reuter.

0:57:47 > 0:57:51- You get the feeling that one goal - will be enough tonight...

0:57:51 > 0:57:53- ..as Terry Yorath suggested.

0:57:54 > 0:57:57- I think one goal will be enough...

0:57:57 > 0:58:01- ..for Wales or Germany - to win tonight.

0:58:01 > 0:58:03- I don't know why he's given that.

0:58:12 > 0:58:14- Brehme takes the kick.

0:58:14 > 0:58:17- Tony Norman, Gareth Hall, - Jeremy Goss...

0:58:17 > 0:58:21- ..Gary Speed and Colin Pascoe on - the bench for Wales this evening.

0:58:21 > 0:58:24- For Germany it's Andreas Kopke, - who's the goalkeeper...

0:58:25 > 0:58:28- ..Karl-Heinz Riedle, Dietmar - Beiersdorfer and Stefan Effenberg.

0:58:29 > 0:58:30- If you've just joined us...

0:58:31 > 0:58:33- ..Thomas Doll is on in place - of Lothar Matthaus.

0:58:36 > 0:58:39- Rush putting pressure on Reuter.

0:58:40 > 0:58:43- That's the part of - Ian Rush's game...

0:58:43 > 0:58:46- ..that maybe isn't - appreciated enough.

0:58:46 > 0:58:48- The running he does - without the ball.

0:58:48 > 0:58:50- I agree, Ian.

0:58:51 > 0:58:54- People think, - "Ian Rush has scored again."

0:58:54 > 0:58:57- But they don't see half the work - he does off the ball.

0:58:59 > 0:59:02- Mark Hughes tackling back.

0:59:02 > 0:59:04- I remember seeing - Hughes and Rush...

0:59:04 > 0:59:07- ..playing in Scotland around - five years ago...

0:59:07 > 0:59:10- ..and putting pressure - on McLeish and Miller.

0:59:10 > 0:59:14- Wales won 1-0 and both of them ran - and tackled throughout the night.

0:59:14 > 0:59:17- They don't get enough praise - for the work they do.

0:59:18 > 0:59:20- Well, Mark Hughes does...

0:59:20 > 0:59:23- ..but I don't think Ian Rush gets - the praise he deserves...

0:59:23 > 0:59:26- ..for closing people down and - running all over the field.

0:59:27 > 0:59:28- He's always working hard.

0:59:29 > 0:59:31- And he scores goals, of course.

0:59:36 > 0:59:38- Matthias Sammer with the free-kick.

0:59:38 > 0:59:40- It's headed away by Phillips.

0:59:40 > 0:59:42- Rush.

0:59:44 > 0:59:45- Barry Horne.

0:59:46 > 0:59:48- A sea of red shirts - break out of defence.

0:59:49 > 0:59:51- An intelligent touch - by Horne to Bodin.

0:59:51 > 0:59:53- The pass doesn't reach Mark Hughes.

0:59:56 > 0:59:59- I see that Gary Speed - is warming up.

0:59:59 > 1:00:01- A young Welsh player.

1:00:01 > 1:00:04- The captain of the Wales - under-20 team in Poland.

1:00:04 > 1:00:06- A very promising player, Iwan.

1:00:06 > 1:00:08- Yes, he's a good player.

1:00:08 > 1:00:10- He's got a wonderful left foot...

1:00:10 > 1:00:13- ..and he's very quick, of course.

1:00:13 > 1:00:17- It might be a good thing if - he's introduced to the game.

1:00:20 > 1:00:22- Reuter.

1:00:24 > 1:00:25- Buchwald.

1:00:27 > 1:00:29- Helmer and Kohler staying back.

1:00:29 > 1:00:33- The Germans are strolling. - They're not running quickly.

1:00:35 > 1:00:37- The crowd trying to lift - the Welsh team...

1:00:37 > 1:00:39- ..who are doing all the hard work.

1:00:39 > 1:00:42- The tiring work of running - after the ball...

1:00:42 > 1:00:44- ..to try and regain possession.

1:00:44 > 1:00:47- This is why Germany - are the world champions.

1:00:48 > 1:00:51- If you can silence a crowd - of 70,000 in Rome...

1:00:51 > 1:00:53- ..in a World Cup final...

1:00:53 > 1:00:56- ..you can do it at the - National Stadium as well.

1:01:03 > 1:01:04- Jurgen Klinsmann.

1:01:05 > 1:01:06- Like Ian Rush...

1:01:07 > 1:01:10- ..he's been working hard without - the ball for his country.

1:01:10 > 1:01:14- And that maybe is a sign of - Germany's tactics tonight...

1:01:14 > 1:01:16- ..as he calls them forward.

1:01:16 > 1:01:18- They want to win this game 1-0.

1:01:20 > 1:01:22- Sammer to Doll.

1:01:22 > 1:01:23- Doll. Voller.

1:01:30 > 1:01:32- Paul Bodin covering well there...

1:01:32 > 1:01:36- ..and passing the ball back - easily to Neville Southall.

1:01:36 > 1:01:40- Otherwise, Wales could have - been in trouble there.

1:01:43 > 1:01:46- Klinsmann. It was important - that Aizlewood was there.

1:01:46 > 1:01:49- Sammer was coming through - from midfield.

1:01:49 > 1:01:52- Wales lost their shape in midfield - for a moment.

1:01:52 > 1:01:54- Sammer.

1:01:54 > 1:01:56- Reuter. Buchwald.

1:01:57 > 1:01:58- Sammer.

1:02:01 > 1:02:04- They have this ability to keep - possession under pressure.

1:02:04 > 1:02:06- Sammer.

1:02:06 > 1:02:07- Berthold.

1:02:07 > 1:02:11- Upping the pace. Berthold. Voller - is there. Towards Klinsmann.

1:02:14 > 1:02:16- And something has happened.

1:02:16 > 1:02:18- Berthold has been sent off!

1:02:18 > 1:02:20- Thomas Berthold.

1:02:20 > 1:02:22- This is drama!

1:02:22 > 1:02:25- Kevin Ratcliffe - is lying on his back.

1:02:25 > 1:02:29- I didn't see what happened but - he must have done something...

1:02:29 > 1:02:32- ..and the referee saw what he did.

1:02:32 > 1:02:34- He's now walking off the field.

1:02:34 > 1:02:36- This is drama.

1:02:36 > 1:02:40- I remember Thomas Berthold pulling - Mark Hughes back two years ago...

1:02:41 > 1:02:42- ..when Hughes was clear.

1:02:42 > 1:02:46- He wasn't punished then but - he's been punished tonight.

1:02:46 > 1:02:47- We'll see what happened.

1:02:48 > 1:02:51- The ball has gone and we can see...

1:02:51 > 1:02:54- ..that he put his fist - or his elbow...

1:02:56 > 1:02:57- We'll see now.

1:02:59 > 1:03:01- He kicked Kevin Ratcliffe.

1:03:01 > 1:03:03- He deserved everything he got.

1:03:03 > 1:03:06- Fair play to the referee. - He saw it immediately.

1:03:07 > 1:03:09- There was no doubt about it - and he sent him off.

1:03:11 > 1:03:13- Well, Thomas Berthold...

1:03:13 > 1:03:17- ..and Germany have lost their - second experienced player.

1:03:17 > 1:03:19- Matthaus because of an injury...

1:03:19 > 1:03:21- ..and now they've suffered - another blow.

1:03:21 > 1:03:24- Thomas Berthold, - who plays for Roma.

1:03:36 > 1:03:38- Ratcliffe has recovered.

1:03:38 > 1:03:41- Peter Nicholas has been over to - have a chat with the manager...

1:03:42 > 1:03:45- ..Terry Yorath, who's been - making his message clear.

1:03:45 > 1:03:48- Keep things quiet, settle down - and don't lose your heads.

1:03:49 > 1:03:52- And of course, over the years - we've seen that when a team...

1:03:52 > 1:03:55- ..is reduced to 10 men - they raise their game.

1:03:55 > 1:03:59- Well, as you say, we've seen it - so many times.

1:03:59 > 1:04:02- Teams can raise their game - and even win the match.

1:04:04 > 1:04:05- This is real drama.

1:04:06 > 1:04:10- We haven't had a goal, 16 minutes - gone in the second half...

1:04:10 > 1:04:12- ..but Thomas Berthold...

1:04:15 > 1:04:17- ..is off the field - for the world champions.

1:04:18 > 1:04:19- He's been sent off.

1:04:19 > 1:04:21- We might see the incident again...

1:04:23 > 1:04:24- ..in just a moment.

1:04:25 > 1:04:28- But of course, when Wales were down - to 10 men in Luxembourg...

1:04:28 > 1:04:32- ..when Clayton Blackmore was - sent off, they went on to win.

1:04:32 > 1:04:34- It forces every player...

1:04:34 > 1:04:38- Well, that might be a sign - of the pressure, Iwan.

1:04:39 > 1:04:42- Brehme concedes a corner.

1:04:42 > 1:04:46- Germany are under pressure - and that just goes to prove it.

1:04:46 > 1:04:49- When someone as experienced as him - makes a mistake like that...

1:04:50 > 1:04:52- ..something must be going on.

1:04:52 > 1:04:55- A corner. The third for Wales.

1:04:55 > 1:04:59- Their second of the second half. - Nicholas takes it.

1:05:00 > 1:05:01- Phillips.

1:05:06 > 1:05:08- An intelligent ball - by Kevin Ratcliffe.

1:05:09 > 1:05:10- Does Nicholas have the height?

1:05:11 > 1:05:14- Unfortunately not, but the idea was - a good one from Kevin Ratcliffe.

1:05:15 > 1:05:17- Peter Nicholas couldn't reach it.

1:05:18 > 1:05:20- He had plenty of room - on the left wing.

1:05:20 > 1:05:22- Kevin Ratcliffe - overhit it a little.

1:05:23 > 1:05:24- It would have been a good ball.

1:05:27 > 1:05:29- Nicholas. Rush.

1:05:31 > 1:05:33- Nobody was quite sure - who was offside.

1:05:34 > 1:05:36- "Who?", asks Rush. "Me?"

1:05:36 > 1:05:38- I think Rush was offside there.

1:05:39 > 1:05:41- I won't tell you what - he said after that!

1:05:41 > 1:05:43- I don't think he agreed - with the linesman.

1:05:44 > 1:05:45- He wasn't happy!

1:05:45 > 1:05:48- Terry Yorath doesn't look - very happy.

1:05:50 > 1:05:52- I wonder what's going - through his mind now?

1:05:53 > 1:05:55- His team is playing against 10 men.

1:05:55 > 1:05:58- Do they change the pattern - or stick to the same one?

1:05:58 > 1:06:01- At the moment they need - to keep the same pattern...

1:06:01 > 1:06:03- ..and the same formation.

1:06:03 > 1:06:05- But the longer the game goes on...

1:06:05 > 1:06:07- ..I think he'll have - to change something...

1:06:08 > 1:06:11- ..especially now that Germany - have had a man sent off.

1:06:13 > 1:06:16- They have to get the ball upfield - more quickly.

1:06:16 > 1:06:18- Buchwald and Mark Hughes.

1:06:20 > 1:06:23- He's playing for a corner. - He gets a throw in.

1:06:24 > 1:06:27- Good play from Mark Hughes there.

1:06:28 > 1:06:31- He's had such a good season - with Manchester United.

1:06:31 > 1:06:34- He's one player who could - make a difference here.

1:06:34 > 1:06:37- Nicholas towards Bodin. - Klinsmann is there.

1:06:37 > 1:06:38- Rush trying to turn.

1:06:42 > 1:06:44- Once again, they were - pulling his shirt.

1:06:44 > 1:06:47- That's the third or fourth time - they've done that.

1:06:47 > 1:06:49- The referee didn't see it.

1:06:49 > 1:06:53- If he had, it would - have been a penalty.

1:06:53 > 1:06:57- Brehme failing to find Klinsmann - and Germany could be caught here.

1:06:57 > 1:07:00- They're a man down and four - of them were up in attack.

1:07:00 > 1:07:04- And suddenly, because Reuter has - moved back to central defence...

1:07:04 > 1:07:06- ..Paul Bodin has some space.

1:07:06 > 1:07:08- Aizlewood to Nicholas.

1:07:11 > 1:07:13- Nicholas in towards Saunders.

1:07:15 > 1:07:17- Very unlucky there.

1:07:20 > 1:07:22- That was Ian Rush getting caught.

1:07:22 > 1:07:25- You can't see it - very clearly there.

1:07:25 > 1:07:28- But he was pulling his shirt.

1:07:28 > 1:07:33- He was making it difficult for - Ian Rush to get the ball to feet.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36- I'm sure if the referee had seen it - it would have been a penalty.

1:07:39 > 1:07:42- Just over 20 minutes played - in the second half. Still 0-0.

1:07:44 > 1:07:46- Thomas Berthold has been sent off.

1:07:46 > 1:07:48- Rudi Volley is playing - up front on his own.

1:07:48 > 1:07:51- Klinsmann has moved back - to keep an eye on Paul Bodin.

1:07:51 > 1:07:53- Reuter has moved into the middle...

1:07:54 > 1:07:56- ..and Sammer has moved - out to the right.

1:07:56 > 1:07:58- So they have changed - their formation.

1:07:58 > 1:08:01- Yes, they've had to change - their formation...

1:08:01 > 1:08:04- ..after the sending off - of Berthold.

1:08:04 > 1:08:06- But you have to watch them - on the break...

1:08:07 > 1:08:09- ..because their players - are so quick.

1:08:09 > 1:08:10- Voller.

1:08:10 > 1:08:12- Kohler.

1:08:12 > 1:08:15- Reuter is attacking through - the middle as well.

1:08:15 > 1:08:17- Voller.

1:08:19 > 1:08:22- Bodin. Is the pass too early?

1:08:22 > 1:08:23- Rush. He's in behind Buchwald!

1:08:24 > 1:08:27- Ian Rush! A great chance for Rush! - It's a goal!

1:08:27 > 1:08:29- Ian Rush!

1:08:31 > 1:08:32- Wonderful!

1:08:32 > 1:08:34- What an incredible ball - by Paul Bodin.

1:08:34 > 1:08:37- And Ian Rush is so quick...

1:08:37 > 1:08:40- ..you can't catch him - in that kind of situation.

1:08:41 > 1:08:42- A great goal!

1:08:42 > 1:08:45- The crowd are on their feet! - It's deafening here!

1:08:45 > 1:08:47- One or two have run on - to the field.

1:08:47 > 1:08:50- They have to get the clowns - off the pitch.

1:08:53 > 1:08:56- He was never going - to catch him here.

1:08:56 > 1:08:59- He took his time, - as he always does...

1:08:59 > 1:09:01- ..and puts it in the - back of the net.

1:09:01 > 1:09:05- The pass forward was lovely - by Paul Bodin.

1:09:05 > 1:09:07- A wonderful ball, fair play.

1:09:07 > 1:09:08- Berthold...

1:09:09 > 1:09:11- No, Buchwald couldn't catch him.

1:09:11 > 1:09:13- He took his time - and picked his corner.

1:09:13 > 1:09:14- 1-0.

1:09:15 > 1:09:17- 21 minutes on the clock - when the goal was scored.

1:09:18 > 1:09:20- It's a great pass by Bodin - with his left foot.

1:09:21 > 1:09:22- Rush timing his run perfectly.

1:09:23 > 1:09:26- The ball landing a bit behind him.

1:09:27 > 1:09:30- But he had the ability to strike - that one beautifully.

1:09:30 > 1:09:32- Illgner didn't stand a chance.

1:09:32 > 1:09:34- Well...

1:09:34 > 1:09:36- I wonder what Germany will do now?

1:09:37 > 1:09:41- I don't think they'll stick to the - same pattern they had before.

1:09:41 > 1:09:43- They have to attack now.

1:09:51 > 1:09:55- Every time Wales win the ball, - the crowd start cheering.

1:09:56 > 1:09:57- Ian Rush.

1:10:00 > 1:10:02- He's scored 19 goals - for his country.

1:10:03 > 1:10:05- I don't think he's ever scored...

1:10:08 > 1:10:09- ..a more important goal.

1:10:14 > 1:10:16- It's important they stay calm.

1:10:16 > 1:10:19- They're winning 1-0 - against ten men...

1:10:20 > 1:10:23- ..but we've still got half - of the second half to go.

1:10:23 > 1:10:27- But if they're going to score, they - have to beat Neville Southall...

1:10:27 > 1:10:30- ..one of the best goalkeepers - in the world.

1:10:30 > 1:10:31- Terry Yorath.

1:10:32 > 1:10:34- You'd never guess his team's - in the lead.

1:10:34 > 1:10:37- You wouldn't think - we're winning 1-0.

1:10:38 > 1:10:40- And against the world champions - too.

1:10:45 > 1:10:50- I don't think we've heard cheering - that loud when Ian Rush scored...

1:10:50 > 1:10:52- ..at this ground for years.

1:10:57 > 1:10:58- Ratcliffe.

1:11:01 > 1:11:02- Melville.

1:11:07 > 1:11:11- It would be nice if we got another - one to take the pressure off.

1:11:13 > 1:11:16- We'd be spoiled then. It's good - they've managed to score one!

1:11:17 > 1:11:19- I think I'm getting - a bit greedy now.

1:11:29 > 1:11:31- A foul on Melville by Voller.

1:11:33 > 1:11:36- He, and the rest of the team - maybe...

1:11:40 > 1:11:43- Melville doing some good work - on Voller...

1:11:43 > 1:11:47- ..and Voller wasn't happy. - He was shouting at the referee.

1:11:48 > 1:11:52- I was going to say, maybe nobody - feels worse than Thomas Berthold.

1:11:52 > 1:11:54- There you go, - that's Andrew Melville...

1:11:55 > 1:11:58- ..who can be satisfied - with his performance tonight.

1:11:58 > 1:11:59- Up until now anyway.

1:12:00 > 1:12:03- I wonder if Berthold - could hear the crowd...

1:12:03 > 1:12:06- ..after the ball went into - the back of the net?

1:12:10 > 1:12:12- Helmer.

1:12:12 > 1:12:14- Reuter. Brehme.

1:12:27 > 1:12:29- Brehme.

1:12:33 > 1:12:34- Saunders.

1:12:45 > 1:12:49- It's important that Wales don't - over complicate things.

1:12:49 > 1:12:51- Just play the natural style.

1:12:52 > 1:12:56- Germany have players that can - change the game in a second.

1:12:56 > 1:12:58- This is Paul Bodin.

1:12:58 > 1:13:00- Tackled.

1:13:01 > 1:13:04- Buchwald's long legs getting there.

1:13:05 > 1:13:09- But Paul Bodin with the confidence - to show Buchwald the ball...

1:13:09 > 1:13:11- ..before passing him.

1:13:12 > 1:13:13- Fair play to Paul.

1:13:14 > 1:13:16- He was trying to do that throughout - the first half...

1:13:17 > 1:13:22- ..and he's still trying. He was - unlucky not to pass Buchwald there.

1:13:22 > 1:13:25- Barry Horne there before Klinsmann.

1:13:32 > 1:13:34- The world champions look shaken.

1:13:39 > 1:13:40- Sammer.

1:13:42 > 1:13:43- Reuter.

1:13:43 > 1:13:45- Brehme. In by Philips.

1:13:52 > 1:13:54- Effenberg, one of the - replacements...

1:13:56 > 1:14:00- ..for Germany warming up behind - Illgner's goal.

1:14:01 > 1:14:04- He hasn't played for his country - before. There's Effenberg.

1:14:04 > 1:14:08- He's easily recognisable - with his blond hair.

1:14:10 > 1:14:13- Voller against Phillips.

1:14:14 > 1:14:16- Sammer!

1:14:19 > 1:14:21- They're giving Voller - too much time again.

1:14:22 > 1:14:24- Voller had time to cross the ball.

1:14:24 > 1:14:28- Sammer heading it, but Neville - Southall saving it again.

1:14:28 > 1:14:33- The cross by Voller, Sammer jumping - up. He had Klinsmann behind him.

1:14:33 > 1:14:36- Southall hasn't had that much to do - in the second half...

1:14:37 > 1:14:39- ..but he had to show he's awake.

1:14:39 > 1:14:44- The ball across again. - Sammer had time. Nobody saw him.

1:14:45 > 1:14:47- Saunders. Rush.

1:14:48 > 1:14:50- Off Rush.

1:14:50 > 1:14:53- Off Kohler and then off Rush.

1:14:53 > 1:14:55- A goal kick.

1:14:59 > 1:15:02- Terry Yorath trying to get - someone's attention.

1:15:07 > 1:15:09- Less than 20 minutes to go...

1:15:10 > 1:15:13- ..between Terry Yorath...

1:15:14 > 1:15:17- ..and maybe his best victory - as Wales manager.

1:15:20 > 1:15:21- Sammer.

1:15:21 > 1:15:23- Kohler with the run.

1:15:34 > 1:15:38- Effenberg coming on. Number 15.

1:15:41 > 1:15:44- I'm not sure who's coming off.

1:15:44 > 1:15:45- Number eight.

1:15:46 > 1:15:49- That's Sammer, who got close - to scoring a few minutes ago.

1:15:50 > 1:15:53- From over here, he looks - like a very tall player.

1:15:54 > 1:15:57- He'll be good in the air.

1:15:57 > 1:15:59- That's Sammer leaving the pitch.

1:15:59 > 1:16:01- He wasn't that effective - against Belgium...

1:16:02 > 1:16:05- ..and maybe Berti Vogts feels - a change is needed.

1:16:05 > 1:16:09- This is Stefan Effenberg. - As you can see, he's very tall.

1:16:09 > 1:16:11- He wins his first cap.

1:16:11 > 1:16:14- He plays for Bayern Munich.

1:16:14 > 1:16:19- I think he'll go into midfield to - secure possession in the air.

1:16:19 > 1:16:21- I'd think so, he's very tall.

1:16:22 > 1:16:23- He must be good in the air...

1:16:24 > 1:16:26- ..and quick of course - because they all are.

1:16:26 > 1:16:29- But, no...

1:16:29 > 1:16:33- He's gone to the left wing. I don't - think he'll be there for long.

1:16:39 > 1:16:42- Just a little over 15 minutes. - Wales 1, Germany 0.

1:16:42 > 1:16:45- Ian Rush with the goal 21 minutes - into the second half.

1:16:45 > 1:16:47- Effenberg, his first touch.

1:16:47 > 1:16:49- Ratcliffe clearing.

1:16:49 > 1:16:51- Kohler.

1:16:51 > 1:16:52- Bodin.

1:16:52 > 1:16:54- Saunders.

1:16:56 > 1:17:00- For a second there, the Wales - players looked at each other...

1:17:00 > 1:17:02- ..and prayed!

1:17:02 > 1:17:05- Andrew Melville failed - to clear it...

1:17:05 > 1:17:08- ..but Kevin Ratcliffe doing - the good work of clearing it.

1:17:09 > 1:17:12- It's important Wales - kill the game.

1:17:12 > 1:17:16- Just take their time like - the Germans did before we scored.

1:17:16 > 1:17:20- Just pass the ball about and pass - it back to Neville Southall.

1:17:21 > 1:17:24- We don't need another goal.

1:17:24 > 1:17:26- It would be nice - but there's no need.

1:17:37 > 1:17:40- A throw in for Wales. Paul Bodin, - who created that goal for Ian Rush.

1:17:42 > 1:17:44- Saunders.

1:17:45 > 1:17:48- Saunders. - His first chance to run.

1:17:48 > 1:17:51- Reuter giving away a corner.

1:17:51 > 1:17:54- They can't cope when they run - at them.

1:17:55 > 1:17:57- He has to give away a corner there.

1:17:58 > 1:18:02- He's terrorised the Belgian - defence and the Luxembourg defence.

1:18:02 > 1:18:05- He's doing the same - to the German defence.

1:18:05 > 1:18:07- Peter Nicholas will take - the corner.

1:18:07 > 1:18:10- This is Wales' fourth corner.

1:18:12 > 1:18:14- The third in the second half.

1:18:14 > 1:18:17- Germany have only had one - throughout the game.

1:18:19 > 1:18:22- Just under 15 minutes to go. - Nicholas with the kick.

1:18:22 > 1:18:24- Away by Helmer.

1:18:24 > 1:18:27- Effenberg looks to be very fast - as well as very tall.

1:18:27 > 1:18:30- Putting Bodin under pressure.

1:18:34 > 1:18:36- Doll, under pressure.

1:18:36 > 1:18:39- Rush. It finds Brehme.

1:18:39 > 1:18:41- Brehme. Back to Doll.

1:18:44 > 1:18:45- Thomas Doll.

1:18:45 > 1:18:50- Effenberg. He was on the left a - minute a go. On the right side now.

1:18:50 > 1:18:52- A touch to Effenberg.

1:18:52 > 1:18:56- He looks to have plenty of talent - on the ball for a tall player.

1:18:56 > 1:18:58- A touch to Voller.

1:19:00 > 1:19:02- The ten men continue to fight.

1:19:03 > 1:19:05- Voller again.

1:19:06 > 1:19:07- Voller needs support.

1:19:10 > 1:19:11- A foul by Saunders.

1:19:13 > 1:19:17- Voller has to be careful because - he's being a bit foolish.

1:19:17 > 1:19:19- He's shouting at the referee.

1:19:20 > 1:19:23- He was trying to trip Dean - Saunders. He has to be careful.

1:19:24 > 1:19:27- They've already had one man - sent off, Berthold...

1:19:27 > 1:19:29- ..for kicking Kevin Ratcliffe.

1:19:31 > 1:19:34- They paid dearly for that. - Ian Rush scored.

1:19:37 > 1:19:38- The kick by Reuter.

1:19:38 > 1:19:41- Effenberg can't reach it - but Aizlewood does.

1:19:41 > 1:19:44- Brehme. A lovely cross by Brehme. - Klinsmann.

1:19:44 > 1:19:46- Voller.

1:19:47 > 1:19:48- That was a great chance.

1:19:49 > 1:19:51- They're still dangerous.

1:19:51 > 1:19:55- I don't know... Maybe he was - offside or he was pushing.

1:19:58 > 1:20:01- He is dangerous. - A lovely cross by Brehme.

1:20:01 > 1:20:06- Klinsmann headed it and Voller just - couldn't get to the ball.

1:20:06 > 1:20:09- Andre Melville was appealing - for something.

1:20:09 > 1:20:11- Klinsmann or Voller.

1:20:11 > 1:20:14- Maybe Voller was - offside to begin with.

1:20:14 > 1:20:15- I think so.

1:20:15 > 1:20:19- The linesman put his flag up - straight away.

1:20:19 > 1:20:22- Berti Vogts. This is the - hardest game, according to him...

1:20:23 > 1:20:26- ..and Rainer Bonhof, his assistant, - since the World Cup.

1:20:26 > 1:20:29- He was right. - His team are behind 1-0.

1:20:31 > 1:20:34- That's the sign of the pressure on - someone like Berti Vogts.

1:20:34 > 1:20:38- Every manger since 1954 has won - either the World Cup...

1:20:38 > 1:20:40- ..or the European Championships.

1:20:40 > 1:20:42- Vogts himself won...

1:20:42 > 1:20:46- ..a winners' medal in 1974 - against the Netherlands.

1:20:50 > 1:20:54- I don't think David Phillips had - intended to hit that quite so hard.

1:20:54 > 1:20:56- I was about to say that.

1:20:56 > 1:20:58- Neville Southall got himself - behind the ball.

1:20:59 > 1:21:02- I'm sure he had a - heart attack there!

1:21:04 > 1:21:06- Voller being penalised that time.

1:21:07 > 1:21:10- It's interesting, Iwan, when you - look back at the goal...

1:21:10 > 1:21:12- ..we've talked about Berthold.

1:21:13 > 1:21:16- If he was on the field it's - unlikely Rush would have scored.

1:21:16 > 1:21:19- The Germans would have - pushed forward.

1:21:19 > 1:21:23- The ball Paul Bodin played - from midfield...

1:21:23 > 1:21:28- ..he would have been there and Rush - wouldn't have had as much time.

1:21:28 > 1:21:30- Ian Rush.

1:21:30 > 1:21:33- Mark Hughes is on the floor - and Terry Yorath is angry.

1:21:33 > 1:21:35- Let's see what happened.

1:21:35 > 1:21:38- Hughes with the ball, - Effenberg going for it.

1:21:39 > 1:21:43- Hughes trying to keep the ball and - Effenberg just clipped him.

1:21:44 > 1:21:47- Ron Stitfall insisting on - giving treatment but the referee...

1:21:51 > 1:21:53- ..Karlsson, refusing.

1:21:53 > 1:21:55- When it comes to offences...

1:21:56 > 1:21:59- ..Wales have committed a total - of 13 fouls.

1:22:04 > 1:22:06- And Germany, 12.

1:22:13 > 1:22:16- We've got all the statistics - tonight.

1:22:17 > 1:22:19- Ten minutes to go. Thomas Doll.

1:22:20 > 1:22:22- Tries to find Brehme but he can't.

1:22:22 > 1:22:23- Saunders.

1:22:25 > 1:22:27- Against Doll.

1:22:27 > 1:22:30- Doll trying to pull him. - Saunders, very intelligent.

1:22:32 > 1:22:33- Phillips.

1:22:35 > 1:22:36- Ratcliffe.

1:22:37 > 1:22:41- I don't think Ratcliffe's happy - with that pass from Phillips.

1:22:41 > 1:22:43- It put him under pressure.

1:22:43 > 1:22:46- But Wales being sensible with only - ten minutes left.

1:22:46 > 1:22:48- They don't want to do anything - stupid...

1:22:49 > 1:22:50- ..like give the ball to Germany.

1:22:51 > 1:22:54- They've shown they have the ability - to create problems...

1:22:54 > 1:22:56- ..when Brehme had the ball.

1:22:56 > 1:23:00- Just keep the ball - for as long as they can.

1:23:21 > 1:23:22- Phillips.

1:23:22 > 1:23:24- Hughes. Nicholas.

1:23:24 > 1:23:25- Ratcliffe.

1:23:28 > 1:23:31- Maybe that's where he - expected Paul Bodin to be...

1:23:32 > 1:23:36- ..but Bodin had stayed back because - Effenberg is on the halfway line.

1:23:36 > 1:23:38- This is Reuter.

1:23:38 > 1:23:41- It's important thing now is not to - make as many runs forward...

1:23:42 > 1:23:45- ..but to defend well - and pick men up.

1:23:45 > 1:23:47- Buchwald to Klinsmann.

1:23:47 > 1:23:50- Klinsmann's beaten Aizlewood - but Southall is wide awake.

1:23:52 > 1:23:54- Bodin to Nicholas.

1:23:57 > 1:23:58- Melville.

1:24:00 > 1:24:01- Rush.

1:24:03 > 1:24:04- Hughes.

1:24:04 > 1:24:05- Rush.

1:24:08 > 1:24:11- I think Helmer got a bit - of a scare there.

1:24:12 > 1:24:14- Seeing Mark Hughes coming - straight for him.

1:24:15 > 1:24:16- Bodin.

1:24:19 > 1:24:21- Against Kohler. Saunders.

1:24:23 > 1:24:26- Effenberg with those long legs.

1:24:27 > 1:24:29- The pass straight to Horne.

1:24:29 > 1:24:31- Reuter.

1:24:33 > 1:24:35- Brehme. Rush was there.

1:24:43 > 1:24:44- Voller.

1:24:55 > 1:24:59- Andrew Melville did well - against Klinsmann there.

1:24:59 > 1:25:03- Looking very comfortable there - considering he's winning...

1:25:03 > 1:25:05- ..his sixth or seventh cap tonight.

1:25:05 > 1:25:07- He has played really well.

1:25:07 > 1:25:10- He hasn't put a foot wrong, - fair play.

1:25:11 > 1:25:15- He hasn't given anyone - any space at all.

1:25:24 > 1:25:27- Wales lead 1-0.

1:25:29 > 1:25:31- A free kick. Seven minutes to go.

1:25:35 > 1:25:37- Ratcliffe to Aizlewood.

1:25:39 > 1:25:42- A win would be a huge boost - on the way to Sweden...

1:25:43 > 1:25:46- ..but some in the - press and media saying...

1:25:47 > 1:25:50- ..that a win tonight would - guarantee a place in Sweden.

1:25:50 > 1:25:54- But they have to travel to - Nuremburg first and losing there...

1:25:54 > 1:25:59- ..by more than 1-0 would mean goal - difference against Luxembourg.

1:25:59 > 1:26:02- Wales have to play Luxembourg - at home.

1:26:02 > 1:26:05- Germany have to play them - at home too...

1:26:05 > 1:26:07- ..before travelling to Belgium.

1:26:07 > 1:26:09- It's far from being over.

1:26:09 > 1:26:12- No, it isn't over yet.

1:26:12 > 1:26:15- There's still a lot of hard work - left to do.

1:26:16 > 1:26:20- But the right result tonight - would be a huge help.

1:26:21 > 1:26:22- Rudi Voller.

1:26:22 > 1:26:26- I don't think he'll be the most - popular player tonight.

1:26:26 > 1:26:29- We'll watch him now tackling - Barry Horne.

1:26:29 > 1:26:31- Voller caught him with that tackle.

1:26:31 > 1:26:33- And not for the first time.

1:26:39 > 1:26:43- As you said, the Germans...

1:26:43 > 1:26:48- ..have to travel to Belgium and - that won't be an easy game.

1:26:50 > 1:26:52- Rush.

1:26:53 > 1:26:54- Kohler.

1:27:09 > 1:27:11- Voller offering the ball - to Melville.

1:27:13 > 1:27:16- He wants Wales to get on - with the game.

1:27:16 > 1:27:19- There's a man under pressure, - Berti Vogts.

1:27:19 > 1:27:24- There are rumours he isn't well - respected by the older players...

1:27:24 > 1:27:26- ..like Klinsmann.

1:27:27 > 1:27:29- Rush. But Hughes was offside.

1:27:34 > 1:27:38- Well... Mark Hughes did - a silly thing there.

1:27:38 > 1:27:40- He's already had a yellow card.

1:27:40 > 1:27:43- Remembering what happened - to Peter Nicholas...

1:27:44 > 1:27:48- ..it wouldn't be a surprise if the - referee had shown a yellow card.

1:27:48 > 1:27:51- No. Kicking the ball away - like that.

1:27:51 > 1:27:53- He deserves a yellow card.

1:27:54 > 1:27:57- But I don't think Mark Hughes - heard the referee...

1:27:57 > 1:27:59- ..blowing his whistle.

1:27:59 > 1:28:02- We'll give him the - benefit of the doubt.

1:28:02 > 1:28:05- We don't want him to miss - the next game!

1:28:13 > 1:28:16- Well, Wales have never beaten - Germany.

1:28:17 > 1:28:22- They beat East Germany - in 1957-58, 4-1.

1:28:24 > 1:28:29- That was in Cardiff when Des - Palmer, from Swansea, scored.

1:28:29 > 1:28:34- Des Palmer moved from Swansea - to Liverpool...

1:28:34 > 1:28:36- ..and who replaced him?

1:28:37 > 1:28:40- We've just seen Effenberg and - Ailzewood going for the same ball.

1:28:40 > 1:28:43- A cross by Effenberg - looking for Brehme.

1:28:47 > 1:28:49- Klinsmann! A brilliant save!

1:28:52 > 1:28:54- Southall keeping Wales in the game.

1:28:59 > 1:29:03- There was nobody there - to challenge him.

1:29:03 > 1:29:06- The goalkeeper proving his worth. - The pressure's still there.

1:29:07 > 1:29:09- A brilliant save by - Neville Southall.

1:29:11 > 1:29:13- Wales somehow manage to clear it.

1:29:19 > 1:29:23- If people talk about Gordon Bank's - save in Mexico in 1970...

1:29:23 > 1:29:25- ..they'll have to mention that one.

1:29:25 > 1:29:28- Voller to Klinsmann. - The danger's not over yet.

1:29:28 > 1:29:30- Aizlewood doing some...

1:29:31 > 1:29:33- ..great work.

1:29:33 > 1:29:34- Bodin.

1:29:36 > 1:29:37- Saunders.

1:29:37 > 1:29:39- Let's have a look at the save.

1:29:39 > 1:29:41- Brehme here.

1:29:42 > 1:29:45- A header by Klinsmann but nobody - challenged him.

1:29:45 > 1:29:47- They somehow cleared it.

1:29:48 > 1:29:50- A brilliant save by that man.

1:29:52 > 1:29:56- Ian Rush's goal was very important - but so was that save.

1:30:00 > 1:30:03- Maybe that's why many count - Neville Southall...

1:30:03 > 1:30:05- ..as the best in the world.

1:30:05 > 1:30:08- Klinsmann's touch to Voller. - Melville.

1:30:10 > 1:30:13- Great work by Melville again.

1:30:13 > 1:30:15- He didn't give Voller any space.

1:30:17 > 1:30:19- Two minutes remaining.

1:30:22 > 1:30:24- Wales have never won before.

1:30:25 > 1:30:27- This is their most important game.

1:30:27 > 1:30:30- There's a substitution, - Gary Speed will come on.

1:30:33 > 1:30:38- This man played more games for - Leeds than anyone else last season.

1:30:38 > 1:30:41- That shows how...

1:30:43 > 1:30:47- ..how well respected he is - at Elland Road.

1:30:49 > 1:30:51- The crowd screaming - for the final whistle.

1:30:56 > 1:30:57- Voller and Southall.

1:30:57 > 1:31:01- Voller has angered a few - of the Welsh players.

1:31:04 > 1:31:06- Not that it worries - Neville Southall.

1:31:06 > 1:31:08- He sees the funny side of it.

1:31:08 > 1:31:10- He would - with his side 1-0 in the lead.

1:31:11 > 1:31:13- Two minutes remaining.

1:31:13 > 1:31:15- Voller jumping for Southall.

1:31:15 > 1:31:19- Neville Southall strong enough - to withstand the challenge.

1:31:20 > 1:31:21- Who's coming off?

1:31:22 > 1:31:23- Dean Saunders.

1:31:26 > 1:31:29- The crowd are on their feet - applauding Dean Saunders.

1:31:29 > 1:31:31- He's worked so hard tonight.

1:31:31 > 1:31:34- He's created huge problems - for the German defence.

1:31:35 > 1:31:36- He's done a good job.

1:31:37 > 1:31:41- I think they're just wasting a - bit of time with the substitution.

1:31:43 > 1:31:45- Gary Speed, 22-years-old.

1:31:46 > 1:31:48- He wins his sixth cap.

1:31:48 > 1:31:52- There are 30 seconds to go - of the 90 minutes.

1:31:52 > 1:31:53- Wales...

1:31:57 > 1:31:59- ..are within seconds - of a famous win.

1:31:59 > 1:32:04- It will be a huge boost, not only - in their efforts to go to Sweden...

1:32:04 > 1:32:06- ..but for the game in general - in Wales.

1:32:06 > 1:32:08- It has needed a boost for years...

1:32:08 > 1:32:11- ..because of the situation - with the clubs.

1:32:11 > 1:32:15- A win over the world champions - would be a perfect boost.

1:32:16 > 1:32:17- But... Voller.

1:32:18 > 1:32:19- To Effenberg!

1:32:21 > 1:32:26- I was about to say, the Germans - will fight until the last second...

1:32:27 > 1:32:30- ..and Effenberg nearly scored or - created the goal for Klinsmann.

1:32:32 > 1:32:34- Voller with the cross there.

1:32:34 > 1:32:38- But he didn't get hold of it - and Southall saved it.

1:32:38 > 1:32:40- It's deafening here.

1:32:40 > 1:32:43- It's deafening here at the moment.

1:32:43 > 1:32:45- The seconds...

1:32:45 > 1:32:47- We're 30 seconds into extra time.

1:32:47 > 1:32:50- The Swedish referee...

1:32:50 > 1:32:53- ..Karlsson, looking at his watch.

1:32:56 > 1:32:58- Reuter.

1:32:59 > 1:33:00- Phillips.

1:33:02 > 1:33:04- Helmer.

1:33:04 > 1:33:06- Germany have got everyone - in attack.

1:33:06 > 1:33:10- A touch by Buchwald. Aizlewood not - clearing cleanly. Voller.

1:33:10 > 1:33:13- Voller again. - The pass to Effenberg.

1:33:13 > 1:33:15- By David Phillips of everyone.

1:33:16 > 1:33:21- Wales have had a few seconds of - panic in this last five minutes.

1:33:22 > 1:33:23- Here it is again.

1:33:24 > 1:33:26- I don't know what he was doing.

1:33:26 > 1:33:27- And there it is!

1:33:29 > 1:33:32- I thought the game was over - but it isn't quite yet.

1:33:32 > 1:33:34- Neville Southall has been - penalised.

1:33:37 > 1:33:39- But rather...

1:33:39 > 1:33:42- For a second everyone thought - Southall had been penalised.

1:33:43 > 1:33:45- But...

1:33:46 > 1:33:48- ..he was fouled.

1:33:48 > 1:33:52- In the past, Neville has been - punished for wasting time.

1:33:52 > 1:33:55- I thought that's what had happened.

1:33:55 > 1:33:57- That he'd taken too many steps.

1:33:57 > 1:34:01- I thought the referee had seen him - and given a free kick.

1:34:03 > 1:34:05- It's good enough - just to clear it now.

1:34:06 > 1:34:10- A minute, nearly two minutes - into extra time.

1:34:10 > 1:34:12- Wales are in the lead 1-0.

1:34:13 > 1:34:14- It's over!

1:34:14 > 1:34:16- There it is! It's over!

1:34:16 > 1:34:21- Wales have a special - and historic victory.

1:34:21 > 1:34:25- Look at the players celebrating. - That's Ian Rush, the scorer.

1:34:27 > 1:34:31- What a result and what a goal - from Ian Rush.

1:34:31 > 1:34:35- The celebrations flowing from the - stands to the field...

1:34:35 > 1:34:37- ..at the National Stadium.

1:34:37 > 1:34:41- It was one of the biggest wins - ever for the national team.

1:34:41 > 1:34:45- But it was a different story - in Nuremburg.

1:34:45 > 1:34:48- Germany thrashed Wales 4-1.

1:34:48 > 1:34:52- Paul Bodin's late penalty was - hardly a consolation.

1:34:55 > 1:34:57- And another Bodin penalty was - the difference...

1:34:58 > 1:35:01- ..in their last match, at home, - against Luxembourg.

1:35:04 > 1:35:06- This late goal meant that Wales...

1:35:06 > 1:35:09- ..finished the campaign top - of the group.

1:35:10 > 1:35:14- Unfortunately, Germany - had two games in hand...

1:35:14 > 1:35:16- ..and they won both.

1:35:16 > 1:35:21- They finished just one point clear - at the top.

1:35:22 > 1:35:26- Heartbreak once again for the - Wales football team.

1:35:26 > 1:35:29- S4C subtitles by Ericsson

1:35:29 > 1:35:29- .
