-'Wales v Germany 1991'

0:00:070:00:10

-At the start of the '90s, Wales

-were starting their Euro '92...

0:00:100:00:13

-..qualifying campaign

-with the hope of reaching Sweden.

0:00:130:00:17

-The first game was Belgium at home.

-Although the visitors went ahead...

0:00:170:00:21

-..Wales hit back, thanks to

-their brilliant attacking trio.

0:00:210:00:25

-There were some nerves. Ian Rush

-scored after half an hour...

0:00:250:00:29

-..but Wales had to wait until the

-last five minutes to seal the win.

0:00:290:00:33

-Dean Saunders scored the second for

-Wales and Mark Hughes the third...

0:00:330:00:38

-..to secure vital points

-at the start of the group.

0:00:390:00:42

-A trip to Luxemburg was next up

-for Terry Yorath's talented team.

0:00:490:00:53

-Although Clayton Blackmore

-was sent off early on...

0:00:530:00:57

-..they just couldn't stop

-the goal-machine.

0:00:570:01:00

-'Rush. The last ditch tackle.

-Rush with the shot and it's a goal!

0:01:000:01:04

-'Wales are in the lead.

0:01:040:01:06

-'Ian Rush has scored and the

-ten men have taken the lead.'

0:01:060:01:11

-After winning the first two games,

-the game in Belgium...

0:01:120:01:15

-..was a test of character,

-especially after conceding...

0:01:160:01:19

-..at the start of the second half,

-but Wales hit back.

0:01:190:01:22

-Saunders scored

-and the unbeaten record continued.

0:01:230:01:26

-The world champions were next,

-in Cardiff.

0:01:290:01:32

-The previous year, West Germany

-had won the World Cup in Italy...

0:01:320:01:37

-..and both West and East Germany

-were originally in this group...

0:01:370:01:42

-..before the country united, which

-left just four teams in the group.

0:01:420:01:47

-Germany was united, but the whole

-of Wales was also united...

0:01:470:01:51

-..on a huge night

-in the old National Stadium.

0:01:510:01:55

-COMMENTATOR: Wales, and a deafening

-roar from a crowd of around 38,000.

0:01:550:02:01

-The Football Association of Wales

-say they could have sold...

0:02:010:02:05

-..twice as many tickets.

0:02:050:02:07

-They had no idea there would be

-so much interest in the game.

0:02:070:02:11

-A long kick from Southall

-gives Ian Rush a chance.

0:02:110:02:14

-And Illgner had to be alert.

0:02:140:02:16

-Germany were trying to

-push up there.

0:02:180:02:21

-They were caught very square.

0:02:220:02:25

-And Ian Rush...

-A good kick from Neville.

0:02:250:02:28

-Not quite as hard and Ian Rush

-would have been on it.

0:02:280:02:31

-Helmer to Brehme.

-Brehme down towards Voller.

0:02:340:02:37

-Melville. It will be important for

-Melville to win the first tackle...

0:02:370:02:42

-..and settle the nerves.

0:02:420:02:44

-Mark Hughes. Klinsmann is

-closing him down. Hughes.

0:02:450:02:49

-He only finds Kohler.

0:02:500:02:52

-Kohler. Buchwald.

0:02:520:02:54

-Berthold.

0:02:560:02:57

-One thing...

0:02:570:02:59

-..you notice, and we noticed when

-they were training on Monday...

0:02:590:03:05

-..how big, strong and powerful

-the Germans seem to be.

0:03:050:03:09

-And becoming world champions

-is no mean feat.

0:03:110:03:14

-Jurgen Klinsmann, who has

-announced he will retire...

0:03:180:03:22

-..from international football

-in two years' time.

0:03:220:03:25

-Aizlewood.

0:03:260:03:28

-Rush. An excellent touch

-from Rush to Hughes.

0:03:280:03:31

-Hughes shows his strength. Saunders

-outside. Saunders against Helmer.

0:03:310:03:35

-He has two men on him.

0:03:370:03:40

-Phillips!

0:03:400:03:41

-The touch out by Berthold.

0:03:410:03:44

-Barry Horne and Matthaus.

0:03:450:03:47

-Nicholas.

0:03:470:03:48

-A mistake by Reuter.

-It's a lively start by Wales.

0:03:480:03:51

-It looks as if two men

-will mark Dean Saunders...

0:03:520:03:55

-..whenever he gets the ball.

0:03:550:03:57

-I'm sure the Germans kept an eye

-on Dean when we played Belgium...

0:03:570:04:02

-..and there are two men

-on him tonight.

0:04:020:04:06

-I think they need to do that

-as well.

0:04:060:04:09

-Berthold.

0:04:130:04:14

-Germany are on a 16-game

-unbeaten run.

0:04:190:04:22

-They lost 2-1 against France

-in February 1990.

0:04:220:04:26

-They haven't been at their best

-in the European Championship.

0:04:260:04:30

-They scraped a 3-2 win

-in Luxemburg.

0:04:300:04:33

-It wasn't a great performance

-against Belgium in Hannover...

0:04:330:04:37

-..although they got

-an excellent start...

0:04:370:04:40

-..with a goal from Voller

-after two minutes.

0:04:400:04:43

-Matthaus towards Klinsmann.

-Aizlewood is there.

0:04:500:04:53

-Bodin.

0:04:540:04:57

-Ratcliffe.

0:04:570:04:59

-Wales very tidy,

-playing the ball out of defence.

0:04:590:05:02

-Nicholas wins a cap to take him

-level with Joey Jones' record...

0:05:020:05:07

-..of 72 caps for his country.

0:05:070:05:10

-Berthold.

0:05:150:05:17

-Sammer.

0:05:180:05:20

-Well, there was a foul on Mark

-Hughes but the referee plays on.

0:05:220:05:26

-The foul has gone against Wales.

-It's looking very physical, Iwan.

0:05:260:05:31

-It is.

-It's going to be a physical game.

0:05:310:05:34

-Mark Hughes was going for the ball

-and one of the German players...

0:05:340:05:38

-..stood in front of him and Mark

-Hughes had to run through him.

0:05:390:05:44

-Matthaus to Sammer,

-who is from East Germany.

0:05:510:05:54

-Barry Horne.

0:05:570:05:58

-Dean Saunders.

-He gets the crowd going.

0:05:590:06:02

-The experienced Brehme. Phillips.

0:06:040:06:06

-The touch by Rush.

0:06:060:06:08

-Barry Horne,

-not quite sure what to do.

0:06:080:06:11

-He tried to find Phillips

-but Helmer was there.

0:06:120:06:15

-Melville on Voller.

0:06:150:06:17

-I think Andy Melville won the ball

-in that tackle.

0:06:200:06:23

-He was very unlucky to be penalised

-there.

0:06:230:06:27

-It looked a very good tackle.

0:06:290:06:31

-Plenty of fire in the opening

-minutes. No-one has settled.

0:06:390:06:43

-Berthold.

0:06:460:06:47

-Voller.

0:06:490:06:51

-Hughes. Straight against Sammer.

0:06:520:06:54

-Nicholas goes in against Voller.

0:06:540:06:57

-Brehme.

0:06:590:07:00

-CROWD:

-Wales! Wales! Wales!

0:07:000:07:03

-Buchwald to Berthold.

-Berthold to Brehme.

0:07:030:07:06

-Buchwald closed down by Nicholas.

0:07:100:07:12

-Klinsmann.

0:07:140:07:15

-Bodin was there.

0:07:150:07:17

-He was fortunate

-but he gets the ball away.

0:07:180:07:21

-Kohler on Rush...

0:07:210:07:23

-..and the referee sees the foul.

0:07:230:07:25

-Climbing over Ian Rush.

0:07:270:07:29

-That's the third time

-he's done that...

0:07:310:07:33

-..and the first time the referee

-has given a free-kick against him.

0:07:330:07:38

-But the third time he's done that.

0:07:380:07:40

-Kohler is one of nine in the squad

-who play in Germany.

0:07:450:07:49

-Seven play in Italy.

0:07:490:07:51

-Kevin Ratcliffe, the captain,

-with the kick.

0:07:540:07:57

-Aizlewood gets up brilliantly.

0:07:580:08:01

-Horne.

0:08:020:08:03

-And there's an offside,

-although Reuter cleared.

0:08:030:08:08

-And, Iwan, we might see,

-with that kick forward...

0:08:080:08:12

-..as we see the Wales bench.

0:08:120:08:15

-Garry Speed, Gareth Hall.

-Eric Young's on the far side.

0:08:150:08:18

-Eric Young is a big loss for Wales

-from attacking free-kicks.

0:08:180:08:22

-Yes, he's such a big man.

0:08:220:08:24

-Every time I've seen him play

-for Wales, he's been excellent.

0:08:250:08:29

-He'll be a big loss but let's hope

-Andy Melville can do a job tonight.

0:08:290:08:34

-Reuter.

0:08:350:08:36

-Helmer. Berthold.

0:08:380:08:40

-Hughes is there. Sammer.

0:08:400:08:42

-He was effective against Belgium

-and keeps his place tonight.

0:08:430:08:47

-Klinsmann turns well

-and the shot from Klinsmann!

0:08:470:08:50

-Southall. Another opportunity.

0:08:500:08:52

-Reuter gets there before Ratcliffe.

0:08:530:08:56

-It was a curling shot.

0:08:560:08:58

-Back in from Matthaus.

-A chance for Voller! Brehme!

0:08:580:09:02

-An important tackle by Phillips.

0:09:030:09:05

-Mark Aizlewood tried to jump in

-to win the ball...

0:09:090:09:13

-..and Klinsmann turned him

-and got a very good shot away.

0:09:130:09:17

-As you said, it was curling.

0:09:170:09:19

-Neville Southall did well

-to save it, fair play.

0:09:190:09:23

-It wasn't easy. It looked as if it

-was going straight at Southall...

0:09:280:09:32

-..but it was curling

-and Wales were slightly fortunate.

0:09:320:09:35

-Berthold has plenty of space.

-Too much space, perhaps.

0:09:350:09:39

-Sammer. Voller. He wasn't offside.

0:09:390:09:42

-These are dangerous and worrying

-moments for Wales.

0:09:430:09:46

-The Germans are looking

-very confident, I must say.

0:09:470:09:50

-They do.

0:09:500:09:52

-I thought Wales had a good

-opening three minutes...

0:09:520:09:56

-..but it looks as if Germany

-are coming more into the game.

0:09:560:09:59

-Their defence is pushing up.

0:09:590:10:02

-Neville Southall is level

-with Dai Davies' record...

0:10:030:10:06

-..of 52 caps as a goalkeeper.

0:10:060:10:09

-Aizlewood. Berthold is there.

0:10:110:10:14

-Klinsmann and Horne.

0:10:150:10:16

-Sammer.

0:10:160:10:18

-The pitch looks in great condition.

0:10:230:10:26

-In training on Monday, the Wales

-players felt the grass was long.

0:10:270:10:31

-It has been cut and we've had

-some rain in Cardiff today.

0:10:310:10:34

-The pitch won't be too hard.

0:10:350:10:37

-Nicholas. Berthold.

0:10:420:10:44

-No pressure on Berthold

-but he makes a mess of things.

0:10:440:10:48

-A strong header from Hughes.

0:10:480:10:50

-Hughes had a spell in Germany

-on loan with Bayern Munich.

0:10:550:10:58

-I think Mark Hughes will be out to

-prove one or two things tonight...

0:11:040:11:08

-..and he's one of the players

-who can win the game for Wales.

0:11:080:11:12

-Reuter.

0:11:150:11:17

-Berthold coming forward again.

-He's been prominent.

0:11:180:11:21

-Sammer to Buchwald.

0:11:210:11:23

-Voller.

0:11:230:11:25

-Kohler.

0:11:290:11:30

-Offside against Klinsmann.

0:11:300:11:33

-Andrew Melville.

0:11:360:11:38

-He was looking forward to the game

-although he admitted...

0:11:390:11:43

-..half an hour before the game

-that he felt nervous. Brehme.

0:11:430:11:46

-Matthaus. Voller.

0:11:470:11:49

-Melville wins an important tackle.

0:11:490:11:52

-Wales look confident on the ball

-as well.

0:11:520:11:55

-An excellent move.

0:11:570:11:58

-Rush.

0:11:590:12:00

-Beaten by Kohler.

0:12:000:12:02

-That will give Andrew Melville

-confidence, winning a good tackle.

0:12:060:12:11

-And he passed well.

0:12:110:12:13

-CROWD:

-Wales! Wales! Wales!

0:12:130:12:16

-It's unlikely there's been

-an atmosphere like this...

0:12:160:12:19

-..at an international football

-match in Wales for some time.

0:12:190:12:23

-Nicholas. Phillips.

0:12:240:12:26

-Helmer.

0:12:300:12:32

-Barry Horne towards Voller.

0:12:330:12:34

-Hughes goes in hard

-and wins the tackle.

0:12:350:12:38

-I think Rudi Voller knows that

-Mark Hughes is on the field.

0:12:420:12:46

-Yes, I don't think he liked that.

0:12:460:12:48

-But it was another good tackle,

-going through and winning the ball.

0:12:480:12:52

-Terry Yorath believes one goal

-will win the game tonight.

0:13:010:13:06

-He thinks Wales will win...

0:13:060:13:08

-..and the goal won't be scored by

-one of the main players.

0:13:080:13:12

-Over ten minutes have gone

-and it remains goalless.

0:13:130:13:17

-Reuter.

0:13:170:13:18

-Hughes. Horne. Oh, excellent!

0:13:220:13:24

-Football of the highest standard

-from Wales.

0:13:280:13:31

-Berthold was in the right place.

0:13:320:13:34

-Although he might have half used

-his hand to stop the ball.

0:13:340:13:38

-That's what comes from spending

-12 days together as a squad.

0:13:430:13:47

-Yes, it's a big help...

0:13:470:13:50

-..that the whole team went to

-Poland and played a game there.

0:13:500:13:54

-They have been together for 12 days

-and got to know each other again.

0:13:540:14:00

-It helps them understand

-how each other play.

0:14:000:14:03

-It's very important.

0:14:030:14:05

-Berthold. Brehme.

0:14:070:14:09

-Helmer. Reuter, rather.

0:14:130:14:15

-Buchwald. Hughes goes in hard.

0:14:160:14:19

-And Wales win possession. Saunders.

0:14:190:14:22

-It was the right idea.

0:14:230:14:25

-Berthold.

0:14:340:14:36

-Klinsmann against Aizlewood.

0:14:360:14:38

-Nicholas.

0:14:390:14:41

-Phillips.

0:14:450:14:46

-Ratcliffe.

0:14:470:14:48

-Ratcliffe towards...

-He saw Dave Phillips making a run.

0:14:500:14:54

-It takes a lot to beat Brehme.

0:14:540:14:57

-But...

0:14:570:14:58

-..Brehme makes a mistake for once.

0:14:590:15:02

-Rush.

0:15:030:15:05

-Bodin is free.

0:15:050:15:06

-Ratcliffe. He hasn't seen him.

0:15:060:15:09

-Saunders.

0:15:090:15:10

-Hughes.

0:15:100:15:12

-He needed a better touch.

0:15:120:15:14

-Aizlewood. Well...

0:15:160:15:17

-..it's hard to tell with Klinsmann

-whether or not he's been touched.

0:15:200:15:24

-The crowd are whistling

-and booing him.

0:15:240:15:27

-Like I've said,

-all you have to do is touch him.

0:15:270:15:31

-He just rolls around on the floor.

0:15:310:15:35

-He might have caught him

-a little bit late there.

0:15:350:15:38

-We'll give him that one.

0:15:380:15:40

-But that's the danger.

0:15:400:15:42

-Once you're accused of coning

-a referee...

0:15:430:15:45

-..the crowd and the referee

-question it every time.

0:15:450:15:49

-Well, if he goes down again,

-the crowd won't believe him.

0:15:490:15:53

-Brehme.

0:15:550:15:57

-Matthaus.

0:15:580:15:59

-Voller. Aizlewood is there.

0:16:000:16:02

-Horne.

0:16:040:16:05

-Saunders and Horne again.

0:16:050:16:07

-Matthaus.

0:16:090:16:11

-Matthaus is everywhere.

-The left, the right and the middle.

0:16:110:16:15

-88 caps for his country.

0:16:160:16:19

-He has got such a good engine.

0:16:210:16:24

-He doesn't stop running.

0:16:240:16:26

-Kohler.

0:16:300:16:32

-Reuter outside. They trained

-like this on Monday night.

0:16:350:16:39

-Paul Bodin makes the tackle.

0:16:390:16:41

-A very good tackle by Paul...

0:16:440:16:46

-..but they gave them

-too much time in midfield.

0:16:460:16:49

-Quarter of an hour gone

-and it's still goalless.

0:16:510:16:54

-Reuter. Time to cross this time.

0:16:540:16:57

-Klinsmann gets there

-with Buchwald.

0:16:570:16:59

-Guido Buchwald can use his height

-at corners and so on.

0:17:020:17:07

-But Berthold and Kohler have had

-a lot of space to come forward.

0:17:070:17:12

-They get the ball at their feet

-and they just run through midfield.

0:17:120:17:16

-It's important that a Welsh player

-closes them down...

0:17:160:17:20

-..as soon as they get the ball.

0:17:200:17:23

-Melville to Rush.

0:17:250:17:26

-Hughes.

0:17:270:17:29

-No doubt in Helmer's mind

-what he was going to do.

0:17:330:17:36

-Saunders.

0:17:420:17:44

-A strong tackle on Saunders

-by Helmer.

0:17:470:17:50

-Aizlewood. Ratcliffe.

0:17:510:17:53

-Plenty of movement.

0:17:530:17:55

-Hughes and Buchwald. A foul

-on Mark Hughes by Buchwald.

0:17:570:18:00

-He was pushed.

0:18:010:18:03

-An excellent ball

-from Kevin Ratcliffe.

0:18:040:18:07

-He could only do one thing there -

-give a free-kick away.

0:18:070:18:11

-An excellent chance for Wales.

0:18:140:18:17

-Peter Nicholas is there.

0:18:190:18:22

-This is where Clayton Blackmore

-would be so useful.

0:18:220:18:26

-David Phillips and Bodin are there.

-It comes towards Bodin.

0:18:260:18:30

-The referee decides the kick

-was taken too quickly.

0:18:310:18:34

-Only Ratcliffe and Barry Horne

-are back marking Klinsmann.

0:18:350:18:39

-Variety this time. Phillips

-towards Aizlewood, who jumps!

0:18:420:18:46

-Reuter was there.

0:18:460:18:48

-Rush with the foul.

0:18:500:18:51

-But Wales show they can cause

-Germany problems in the air.

0:18:520:18:56

-It was an excellent free-kick.

0:18:570:18:59

-Mark Aizlewood made the run

-and got to the back post...

0:18:590:19:03

-..but he just failed

-with the header down.

0:19:030:19:06

-He was unlucky.

0:19:060:19:08

-He jumped a little bit too early.

0:19:090:19:12

-Matthaus on the left now.

0:19:130:19:16

-Klinsmann.

0:19:160:19:17

-Sammer is there.

0:19:200:19:21

-Berthold.

0:19:210:19:23

-Reuter.

0:19:230:19:25

-Voller.

0:19:270:19:29

-Aizlewood wins the tackle.

0:19:320:19:34

-I don't think Voller will get

-much change out of Mark Aizlewood.

0:19:440:19:48

-Every time he gets the ball,

-they close him down.

0:19:490:19:53

-It was interesting to hear Mark

-Aizlewood say international...

0:19:540:19:58

-..football is easier than Division

-Two because he gets more time.

0:19:580:20:02

-Yes, he gets a lot more time

-when he plays for Wales.

0:20:020:20:06

-You don't get much time

-in Division Two.

0:20:070:20:09

-I'm sure he'll enjoy himself

-tonight.

0:20:090:20:13

-Bodin straight to Reuter.

0:20:140:20:16

-An important tackle by Nicholas.

0:20:160:20:19

-Rush.

0:20:200:20:21

-Nicholas in again.

0:20:210:20:23

-Players like Nicholas and Ian Rush

-are aware that this is...

0:20:250:20:29

-..their last chance

-to reach a major championship.

0:20:290:20:33

-I was reading the paper today...

0:20:340:20:36

-..and Ian Rush said he's won

-everything with Liverpool...

0:20:360:20:39

-..and the only thing he wants now

-is to go to a major championship...

0:20:390:20:44

-..with Wales.

0:20:440:20:46

-This could be his last chance.

0:20:460:20:49

-Germany are accustomed to success.

0:20:560:20:59

-They've won the World Cup

-three times...

0:20:590:21:02

-..the European Championships twice,

-in '72 and '80...

0:21:020:21:06

-..and lost on penalties in '76

-against Czechoslovakia.

0:21:060:21:10

-And they are the reigning

-world champions.

0:21:100:21:13

-Look at Paul Bodin...

0:21:170:21:19

-..all the way up

-in the front line...

0:21:190:21:22

-..to put pressure on Reuter.

0:21:230:21:26

-Horne goes in hard.

0:21:270:21:29

-That was some tackle.

0:21:310:21:33

-It's interesting to

-see the Germans...

0:21:380:21:40

-..they're playing the ball

-patiently across the back...

0:21:400:21:44

-..looking comfortable, but the

-high ball forces them to turn...

0:21:440:21:48

-..and run back

-and they don't look as comfortable.

0:21:480:21:52

-I'm surprised by that.

0:21:520:21:54

-They are pushing up...

0:21:540:21:56

-..and one long ball

-is forcing them to turn...

0:21:560:21:59

-..and the Welsh players

-have the run on them.

0:21:590:22:03

-But Klinsmann has said they

-haven't come for a draw...

0:22:030:22:07

-..and I don't think they have,

-fair play.

0:22:070:22:10

-Nicholas.

0:22:150:22:16

-Not as quick as he used to be.

0:22:170:22:19

-But he's still an experienced

-player with Watford.

0:22:190:22:23

-Helmer. Brehme.

0:22:260:22:28

-Matthaus.

0:22:320:22:34

-Brehme in space on the left.

0:22:360:22:38

-Sammer is ahead of him.

0:22:380:22:40

-A great run by Buchwald.

-No-one has picked him up.

0:22:410:22:45

-Towards Voller. Klinsmann is there.

-So is Bodin.

0:22:450:22:48

-Reuter with the shot!

0:22:480:22:50

-Reuter saw the corner of Neville

-Southall's goal for a second...

0:22:520:22:57

-..but the keeper made the save and

-it's the first corner of the game.

0:22:570:23:01

-We've played just over 20 minutes.

0:23:020:23:04

-No-one picked up Buchwald when

-he made the run forward there.

0:23:060:23:10

-A good cross.

0:23:100:23:12

-And a good shot.

0:23:120:23:14

-The kick from Brehme.

0:23:140:23:16

-It curls in. Klinsmann is there.

0:23:170:23:19

-But Southall catches it.

0:23:190:23:21

-The best chances so far

-have fallen to Germany.

0:23:230:23:27

-Neville Southall...

0:23:270:23:29

-..saved from Reuter.

0:23:290:23:31

-He gives his defence

-so much confidence.

0:23:340:23:37

-They know they have one of the best

-keepers in the world behind them.

0:23:370:23:42

-That makes a big difference

-to the defence.

0:23:420:23:45

-Helmer to Buchwald.

0:23:520:23:55

-The same pattern over the years.

0:23:560:23:58

-Consistency in choosing managers...

0:23:580:24:01

-..like Schon...

0:24:010:24:04

-..Jupp Derwall, Beckenbauer

-and now Berti Vogts.

0:24:040:24:07

-And the same pattern of play.

0:24:070:24:10

-But no success there

-as Reuter is tackled.

0:24:100:24:14

-A foul on Hughes by Buchwald,

-not for the first time.

0:24:310:24:35

-Nicholas. Rush.

0:24:370:24:38

-Horne.

0:24:410:24:42

-No-one in the middle

-because Ian Rush had come wide.

0:24:420:24:46

-Saunders.

0:24:460:24:48

-Too many Germans around him.

0:24:510:24:54

-Terry Yorath on his feet.

0:25:060:25:09

-I wonder whether he's happy

-with the way things are going.

0:25:110:25:15

-I would think so.

0:25:150:25:17

-They've had one or two chances and

-Neville has kept us in the game...

0:25:170:25:21

-..but I think we've played

-some very good football...

0:25:210:25:26

-..but we haven't got that

-final ball into the box.

0:25:260:25:29

-Hughes.

0:25:320:25:33

-He finds Bodin.

-Klinsmann is after him.

0:25:350:25:37

-Bodin.

0:25:390:25:41

-Klinsmann shows that he has the

-ability to work hard as well.

0:25:420:25:46

-It's interesting to note that

-while the Germans...

0:25:470:25:50

-..were threatening to attack...

0:25:500:25:52

-..Brehme was screaming

-at his players to push up.

0:25:520:25:55

-As Iwan Roberts mentioned,

-they have come here to win.

0:25:550:25:59

-Sammer wasn't quite sure

-what to do.

0:26:020:26:05

-Reuter.

0:26:050:26:07

-Only as far as... Aizlewood.

-Aizlewood to Rush.

0:26:070:26:10

-Rush was caught a bit late

-by Sammer...

0:26:100:26:14

-..but he couldn't win the ball.

0:26:140:26:16

-Sammer is one of two

-from East Germany in the squad.

0:26:170:26:20

-Thomas Doll is the other.

-He's on the bench tonight.

0:26:200:26:23

-Sammer played 23 times

-for East Germany...

0:26:230:26:27

-..and has played three times

-for Germany.

0:26:270:26:31

-Berthold.

0:26:380:26:39

-Voller.

0:26:390:26:41

-A foul by Voller...

0:26:410:26:43

-..on Andrew Melville.

0:26:430:26:45

-I don't think he's too happy...

0:26:470:26:50

-..with the referee there.

0:26:500:26:52

-He gave a free-kick against him.

-He wasn't happy.

0:26:530:26:56

-Nicholas.

0:27:000:27:02

-Matthaus.

0:27:190:27:20

-The referee blew the whistle.

0:27:300:27:32

-Aizlewood fouling Klinsmann.

0:27:320:27:34

-Berthold.

0:27:400:27:42

-Reuter.

0:27:420:27:43

-Kohler.

0:27:430:27:45

-Saunders puts Kohler under

-pressure. Rush to find Saunders.

0:27:460:27:49

-The touch by Kohler was enough.

-Reuter.

0:27:500:27:52

-Berthold. Reuter.

0:27:530:27:55

-Kohler.

0:28:180:28:19

-Not much movement at the moment.

0:28:190:28:22

-Kohler...

0:28:220:28:23

-..puts pressure on Brehme.

0:28:250:28:27

-Berthold forward once again.

-Mark Hughes tries to stop him.

0:28:270:28:31

-Berthold has spent more time

-in Wales' half than in his own.

0:28:320:28:36

-Sammer.

0:28:360:28:38

-Buchwald goes in strongly.

0:28:400:28:42

-26 minutes gone, Iwan.

0:28:450:28:48

-What sort of pattern are you seeing

-at the moment?

0:28:480:28:51

-Well, I think the Germans have

-come here for the two points...

0:28:510:28:56

-..and they push the ball around

-the field very well, fair play.

0:28:560:29:01

-Wales have been lucky

-on two occasions...

0:29:010:29:05

-..but if Wales can get the final

-ball into the penalty box...

0:29:050:29:10

-..they have every chance.

0:29:100:29:13

-Wales' next game is in Nuremberg,

-in October.

0:29:170:29:21

-It's very important that

-they don't lose tonight.

0:29:210:29:24

-Hughes. Saunders.

0:29:240:29:26

-Towards Rush.

0:29:300:29:31

-Melville and Voller.

-Voller wins it. Klinsmann.

0:29:330:29:36

-Melville. Horne.

0:29:390:29:41

-Barry Horne will be happy

-with his performance...

0:29:420:29:45

-..tackling

-and good touches in midfield.

0:29:450:29:48

-He's been playing right-back

-for Southampton...

0:29:480:29:51

-..and it's not easy

-to change positions.

0:29:510:29:54

-As you said,

-he's winning his tackles...

0:29:540:29:57

-..and he's passed the ball well

-as well.

0:29:570:29:59

-And he wins the ball in the air.

0:30:030:30:05

-Melville.

0:30:110:30:12

-Looking at the National Stadium

-today, every seat has been sold.

0:30:160:30:20

-There's an offside.

0:30:230:30:24

-It shows... Some people

-look at Welsh football...

0:30:250:30:29

-..and the positions in

-the Football League...

0:30:290:30:32

-..and say the standard

-isn't high...

0:30:320:30:35

-..but it shows what's possible,

-like the Republic of Ireland.

0:30:350:30:39

-The interest is there.

0:30:390:30:41

-Yes, I think, as you say...

0:30:410:30:43

-..the people have turned up here.

0:30:430:30:47

-But it's hard to say.

0:30:470:30:50

-It's such a big game tonight

-and people were coming up to me...

0:30:500:30:55

-..outside the ground,

-asking me if I had tickets.

0:30:550:30:58

-Saunders.

0:30:590:31:01

-Phillips.

0:31:020:31:04

-Phillips.

-Matthaus is back defending.

0:31:050:31:08

-Sammer and Nicholas.

0:31:090:31:11

-Nicholas to Phillips.

0:31:110:31:13

-Melville.

0:31:160:31:18

-An excellent touch by Saunders.

-Barry Horne.

0:31:180:31:20

-Matthaus is back defending.

-Matthaus is everywhere tonight.

0:31:200:31:25

-He looked like he was feeling

-his thigh.

0:31:270:31:30

-He has been carrying a knee injury.

0:31:300:31:33

-Losing Matthaus would be a blow

-for Germany, that's for sure.

0:31:330:31:37

-He's just holding his leg.

0:31:370:31:40

-I think Mark Aizlewood

-needs some treatment.

0:31:430:31:46

-I didn't see what happened.

0:31:470:31:50

-But you can see Matthaus

-holding his leg.

0:31:500:31:54

-There's the injury

-to Mark Aizlewood.

0:32:060:32:10

-I'm not sure what happened

0:32:110:32:14

-Ron Stitfall...

0:32:140:32:16

-..is giving him some treatment.

0:32:170:32:19

-He's recovered.

0:32:200:32:22

-I don't think you'll be able to get

-Mark Aizlewood off the field.

0:32:230:32:28

-Matthaus seems to be moving OK.

-He's holding his leg.

0:32:300:32:34

-Melville. Rush and Kohler.

0:32:410:32:43

-Horne. Saunders.

0:32:440:32:46

-Kohler and Rush again.

0:32:480:32:50

-Bodin.

0:32:510:32:53

-Nicholas.

0:32:540:32:56

-Saunders.

0:32:570:32:58

-Brehme is there.

0:32:580:33:00

-Peter Nicholas should have

-taken a shot there...

0:33:040:33:07

-..rather than crossing to Dean...

0:33:070:33:09

-..because he was just outside

-the box.

0:33:100:33:12

-Buchwald.

0:33:120:33:14

-Reuter.

0:33:140:33:16

-Terry Yorath will want to sit down

-after the game.

0:33:220:33:26

-Talking to Peter Shreeves.

0:33:280:33:30

-Have they seen something

-they need to change?

0:33:300:33:33

-Peter Shreeves has been praised

-by the players...

0:33:330:33:36

-..for the work he does as coach.

0:33:360:33:39

-Voller. Sammer is beside him.

0:33:410:33:43

-Reuter joins the attack.

0:33:430:33:46

-Straight to Nicholas.

0:33:470:33:48

-Rush is caught by Kohler.

0:33:490:33:52

-That's the second time

-and Rush has a word with Kohler.

0:33:530:33:58

-Every time Ian Rush gets the ball

-he does something to him.

0:33:580:34:02

-I've been watching and he's pulling

-his shirt or kicking him.

0:34:020:34:06

-Nicholas with the pass.

0:34:090:34:12

-It looks as though Kohler

-didn't even see Ian Rush.

0:34:120:34:15

-I don't think he knew he was there,

-the way he went through him.

0:34:150:34:19

-Aizlewood with the kick.

0:34:200:34:22

-Hughes is caught by Buchwald

-and the referee has seen it.

0:34:220:34:26

-And it's a free-kick

-in a very dangerous position...

0:34:270:34:31

-..defensively for Germany

-and attacking wise for Wales.

0:34:310:34:35

-It would be very handy to have

-Clayton Blackmore here now.

0:34:350:34:39

-He's in the stand

-working for radio.

0:34:390:34:42

-He might come on to take the kick.

0:34:430:34:45

-Well, the crowd...

0:34:450:34:47

-..are on their feet.

0:34:490:34:50

-They sense...

0:34:510:34:52

-He must have said something.

0:34:520:34:55

-Berthold...

0:34:550:34:57

-..is walking away.

0:35:010:35:03

-He wanted to change the referee's

-mind but Matthaus has been booked.

0:35:030:35:08

-They threw the ball in his face.

0:35:110:35:13

-Is the referee going to talk

-to a Welsh player?

0:35:130:35:17

-There are five on yellow cards.

0:35:170:35:19

-Peter Nicholas is guilty

-of throwing the ball...

0:35:190:35:22

-..into Matthaus' face.

0:35:220:35:26

-A yellow card for Peter Nicholas.

0:35:260:35:28

-That was stupid.

-He didn't have to do anything.

0:35:280:35:31

-They had the free-kick.

-He didn't have to throw the ball.

0:35:310:35:35

-That has cost him a booking now.

0:35:350:35:38

-One more and he will miss a game.

0:35:380:35:41

-He should know better -

-a player of his experience.

0:35:410:35:46

-He's been around for a long time.

-He should know better.

0:35:470:35:51

-Phillips and Bodin and Nicholas

-are there.

0:35:530:35:56

-The sixth player from Wales

-on a yellow card...

0:35:560:35:59

-..in these championships.

0:35:590:36:02

-Bodin and Phillips.

0:36:020:36:04

-Phillips with his right foot.

-Bodin with his left, perhaps.

0:36:040:36:08

-Illgner is making sure

-everyone's in the wall.

0:36:080:36:11

-Phillips. Bodin!

0:36:140:36:16

-The wall does its job.

-Nicholas. Horne.

0:36:170:36:20

-Klinsmann and Nicholas tussle.

-Voller.

0:36:240:36:27

-He can't reach Klinsmann

-with the pass.

0:36:280:36:31

-He does in the end

-but Aizlewood gets there.

0:36:320:36:35

-Klinsmann.

-It's getting very physical...

0:36:350:36:38

-..and I think Nicholas is down.

0:36:380:36:40

-Klinsmann caught him.

0:36:400:36:43

-The referee will have to

-get things under control.

0:36:430:36:48

-He needs to take control.

-It's got very physical.

0:36:480:36:52

-We had a good start but there's

-been some kicking, pushing...

0:36:520:36:56

-..and bickering going on.

0:36:560:36:58

-The kick towards Rush.

0:37:050:37:07

-Hughes. Kohler is there again.

-Behind him is Bodin.

0:37:070:37:11

-Bodin.

0:37:130:37:15

-A lovely cross.

-Illgner doesn't punch it cleanly.

0:37:150:37:19

-Saunders. It comes to Horne.

-Horne with the shot!

0:37:190:37:22

-A corner for Wales.

0:37:220:37:24

-Once again, Germany trying to

-push up and one stays back...

0:37:240:37:28

-..and allows three Welsh players

-to go for the ball.

0:37:280:37:32

-An excellent cross from Paul Bodin

-and the keeper couldn't hold it.

0:37:330:37:37

-Ten minutes until half time...

0:37:390:37:41

-..and Wales' first corner kick.

0:37:420:37:45

-Voller away.

-Bodin sensibly to Nicholas.

0:37:450:37:48

-Sammer.

0:37:490:37:51

-Bodin.

0:37:510:37:53

-Horne.

0:37:540:37:56

-He thinks about the shot.

-It's against the bar!

0:37:560:37:59

-The closest we've come to a goal.

0:38:000:38:03

-That was a great shot

-from Barry Horne.

0:38:030:38:05

-I didn't think he'd shoot,

-he was so far out.

0:38:050:38:08

-But an excellent shot which

-hit the top of the crossbar.

0:38:080:38:12

-He gets the ball

-and he's a long way out.

0:38:130:38:16

-An excellent shot.

-It hits the top of the crossbar.

0:38:160:38:20

-It was always coming down.

0:38:220:38:24

-I thought it was going over the bar

-but it came down.

0:38:240:38:28

-If you asked Illgner, I'm sure

-he'd say he had it covered...

0:38:280:38:33

-..but I don't think he did.

0:38:330:38:36

-CROWD:

-# Hymns and arias

0:38:450:38:48

-# Land of my fathers

0:38:480:38:52

-# Ar hyd y nos. #

0:38:520:38:54

-Matthaus.

0:38:550:38:56

-CROWD:

-# And we were singing

0:38:560:39:00

-# Hymns and arias... #

0:39:000:39:02

-Ratcliffe and Sammer,

-but there's an offside.

0:39:020:39:05

-Well, the crowd have been

-encouraged...

0:39:070:39:09

-..by that shot by Barry Horne.

0:39:090:39:12

-I think the play leading up to

-the corner lifted them as well.

0:39:140:39:19

-It was good play from Wales,

-fair play.

0:39:190:39:21

-Things are looking up.

0:39:210:39:23

-Berthold. Matthaus.

0:39:260:39:28

-Phillips.

0:39:290:39:31

-Hughes.

0:39:330:39:34

-Phillips. Barry Horne makes a run.

0:39:360:39:39

-A good touch by Sammer.

0:39:420:39:45

-Klinsmann. Berthold.

-Excellent by the Germans.

0:39:450:39:48

-Voller has to turn.

0:39:480:39:51

-He beats Phillips

-and looks to go on his own.

0:39:520:39:56

-It was disappointing in the end

-but it was a good move...

0:39:570:40:00

-..from one end to the other.

0:40:000:40:03

-It was one-touch football.

0:40:030:40:06

-A great touch from Klinsmann...

0:40:060:40:08

-..and a good run from Voller

-but the shot...

0:40:090:40:13

-..didn't trouble Neville Southall.

0:40:130:40:15

-Ratcliffe.

0:40:180:40:20

-Asking too much of Ian Rush.

0:40:210:40:23

-Buchwald.

0:40:420:40:43

-Klinsmann.

0:40:460:40:47

-Sammer.

0:40:470:40:49

-Reuter.

0:40:510:40:53

-Fortunate to get a second chance...

0:40:570:41:00

-..but for a second I thought

-Klinsmann would get the ball.

0:41:000:41:04

-Berthold to Kohler.

0:41:060:41:07

-Brehme.

0:41:080:41:10

-Reuter.

0:41:110:41:12

-Helmer. Matthaus.

0:41:120:41:15

-He fools Paul Bodin.

-Klinsmann against Ratcliffe.

0:41:170:41:21

-Ratcliffe shows the value

-of a sweeper.

0:41:210:41:24

-Aizlewood.

0:41:250:41:26

-Wales have enough confidence

-to play the ball out of defence.

0:41:270:41:33

-That's a sign of a good team

-and good players.

0:41:340:41:36

-A lovely pass from Melville.

0:41:360:41:38

-Saunders has the speed

-to beat Helmer...

0:41:390:41:41

-..and the ability to beat Brehme.

0:41:410:41:44

-Phillips.

0:41:440:41:45

-Rush. Bodin comes in!

-Matthaus gets it away.

0:41:460:41:50

-Matthaus did very well there

-to stay with Paul Bodin.

0:41:510:41:56

-I think he would have scored.

-A good cross from David Phillips.

0:41:560:42:00

-And a lovely pass

-from Andrew Melville...

0:42:020:42:04

-..to give Dean Saunders

-the chance to run.

0:42:040:42:07

-Phillips.

0:42:100:42:12

-Hughes.

0:42:120:42:13

-Helmer is there. Brehme.

0:42:130:42:16

-We can have another look at

-the shot which hit the bar.

0:42:180:42:22

-The closest we've come to a goal

-in the first half.

0:42:220:42:26

-The ball comes out to Barry Horne

-here.

0:42:270:42:30

-He is a long way out, fair play.

0:42:300:42:34

-Not much backswing,

-an excellent shot...

0:42:340:42:37

-..and it hit the crossbar.

0:42:370:42:40

-If it was a bit lower,

-the keeper wouldn't have saved it.

0:42:400:42:43

-Wales were unlucky.

-The closest we've come to a goal.

0:42:450:42:49

-Four minutes until half time.

-Still goalless.

0:42:490:42:52

-Wales have never beaten Germany.

0:42:530:42:55

-They have played eight times

-and had four draws.

0:42:550:42:59

-This is the ninth game

-and it's the most important.

0:43:000:43:04

-I hope you can taste the atmosphere

-at home.

0:43:070:43:10

-It's extraordinary.

0:43:100:43:12

-They had a good start,

-the Germans...

0:43:140:43:17

-..but, so far, Wales have matched

-them, if not been the better team.

0:43:170:43:21

-Rush. Bodin.

0:43:220:43:24

-Nicholas. It comes off Sammer.

0:43:250:43:27

-Paul Bodin is always trying to

-get past his man.

0:43:270:43:31

-Saunders.

0:43:340:43:35

-Well, we've seen that sort

-of behaviour from the crowd.

0:43:400:43:43

-They've stopped now, but it started

-at the World Cup in Mexico.

0:43:430:43:48

-Nicholas to Saunders.

0:43:520:43:54

-Ratcliffe is on his own.

0:43:570:43:59

-There it is. The Mexican Wave

-we saw at the World Cup finals...

0:44:080:44:13

-..in 1986.

0:44:130:44:15

-I saw them do this in Hannover

-before Germany played Belgium...

0:44:170:44:21

-..and they kept going

-for quarter of an hour.

0:44:210:44:24

-They were too tired

-to watch the game!

0:44:240:44:27

-It must be a cold night

-or something!

0:44:270:44:30

-It's an excellent atmosphere for

-an international football match...

0:44:330:44:37

-..and it shows the value of playing

-in this stadium...

0:44:370:44:41

-..rather than Ninian Park,

-The Racecourse or The Vetch.

0:44:410:44:44

-Goalless as we approach half time.

-The touch from Reuter.

0:44:470:44:51

-For once he beats Bodin

-but Aizlewood is across.

0:44:510:44:54

-Klinsmann. Reuter.

0:45:060:45:08

-CROWD:

-Wales! Wales! Wales! Wales!

0:45:080:45:12

-Barry Horne misses

-his first tackle...

0:45:120:45:14

-..but Hughes wins possession.

0:45:140:45:17

-Saunders. Ratcliffe decides

-to join the attack.

0:45:170:45:21

-Does he have the pace?

0:45:210:45:23

-Is that a sign of confidence...

0:45:260:45:28

-..that Kevin Ratcliffe

-will join the attack?

0:45:280:45:31

-They are full of life,

-the way they're playing.

0:45:310:45:35

-Kevin Ratcliffe pushing up there...

0:45:350:45:37

-..it shows a lot of confidence.

0:45:370:45:40

-Something has to happen...

0:45:400:45:43

-..so let's hope it's a goal

-for Wales.

0:45:430:45:46

-I don't think it will be goalless.

0:45:490:45:52

-Buchwald.

0:45:590:46:00

-Helmer and Saunders. Reuter.

0:46:010:46:04

-The last minute of the first half.

0:46:110:46:14

-Goalless.

0:46:150:46:16

-The lights are coming on

-at the National Stadium.

0:46:160:46:20

-Matthaus does well. Voller.

0:46:220:46:25

-Aizlewood waits for the right time

-to make the tackle.

0:46:250:46:29

-Bodin comes across.

0:46:290:46:31

-Matthaus.

0:46:320:46:33

-Klinsmann.

0:46:330:46:35

-Bodin. Horne.

0:46:370:46:39

-Ratcliffe.

0:46:390:46:40

-Berthold.

0:46:400:46:42

-Buchwald.

0:46:430:46:44

-Klinsmann controls the ball

-cleanly.

0:46:480:46:50

-Reuter.

0:46:500:46:52

-Sammer is in an attacking position.

0:46:520:46:55

-We are in injury time.

-The shot from Reuter.

0:46:580:47:01

-Sammer and Southall.

0:47:020:47:04

-Southall has to stop the ball

-from coming back on the field.

0:47:070:47:13

-Neville Southall did well there,

-kicking the ball away...

0:47:140:47:17

-..to stop Sammer getting it.

0:47:180:47:20

-It gave him time to get back

-in goal.

0:47:200:47:22

-Klinsmann.

0:47:270:47:29

-Brehme!

0:47:310:47:33

-Good save.

0:47:370:47:39

-WHISTLE

0:47:390:47:41

-Andreas Brehme had the last shot

-of the first half.

0:47:420:47:47

-At the break

-at the National Stadium...

0:47:480:47:51

-..where there's a great atmosphere

-- deafening, to be honest...

0:47:510:47:55

-..the score is Wales 0,

-the world champions Germany 0.

0:47:550:47:59

0:48:050:48:07

-Welcome back.

0:48:100:48:11

-It was goalless at half time

-between Wales and Germany...

0:48:120:48:15

-..in the qualifying group

-for Euro '92...

0:48:150:48:17

-..and there was a big second

-half to come.

0:48:170:48:20

-COMMENTATOR: Doll certainly

-showing his ability there.

0:48:210:48:24

-Ratcliffe is there.

0:48:240:48:26

-Aizlewood to Hughes.

0:48:280:48:30

-Phillips. Rush.

0:48:370:48:39

-A gap appeared for just a moment.

0:48:410:48:43

-Saunders.

0:48:430:48:45

-Bodin.

0:48:450:48:47

-Up against Berthold. It comes

-off Berthold for a corner.

0:48:480:48:52

-I think that's just what we needed.

0:48:530:48:56

-The crowd are starting

-to shout now...

0:48:560:48:58

-..and Wales have a corner.

0:48:590:49:01

-Wales have the first corner

-of the second half.

0:49:030:49:06

-It's only their second

-of the match.

0:49:060:49:08

-We have some tall players as well.

0:49:110:49:13

-Let's hope we can make

-something of this.

0:49:130:49:16

-Along the floor by Nicholas

-this time.

0:49:170:49:19

-An opportunity to cross, but he

-can't. Klinsmann comes back.

0:49:190:49:22

-Klinsmann's touch to Kohler.

0:49:240:49:26

-Kohler.

0:49:260:49:27

-I hate to see a corner

-go to waste like that.

0:49:310:49:35

-Instead of getting it

-into the penalty area...

0:49:350:49:38

-..where there is a

-chance to score...

0:49:380:49:40

-..they played it short

-and lost the ball.

0:49:400:49:42

-I think it's a waste.

0:49:430:49:44

-Voller.

0:49:490:49:50

-Doll.

0:49:510:49:52

-Voller again.

0:49:540:49:55

-He's brought down by Hughes.

0:49:560:49:57

-Aizlewood kicks the ball

-straight at Voller.

0:49:580:50:01

-I think Mark Hughes was very

-lucky there not to be booked.

0:50:030:50:07

-Voller is still arguing

-with the referee.

0:50:070:50:11

-Mark Hughes and Voller. Mark Hughes

-already has one yellow card.

0:50:130:50:16

-He can't afford another one...

0:50:170:50:18

-..or he'll be out of the game

-in Nuremberg in October.

0:50:180:50:22

-Sammer.

0:50:220:50:23

-Berthold.

0:50:240:50:25

-Buchwald. Aizlewood behind him.

0:50:280:50:29

-Reuter is also there and Bodin.

0:50:300:50:31

-A foul by Buchwald.

0:50:340:50:36

-You can't see him at the moment

-but Brehme isn't happy at all.

0:50:390:50:42

-It's a throw.

0:50:440:50:46

-Horne.

0:50:460:50:48

-Sammer.

0:50:480:50:49

-Ratcliffe wins it. Bodin.

0:50:510:50:53

-Hughes. He turns away

-from Buchwald.

0:50:550:50:58

-Rush.

0:50:580:50:59

-There's room out here

-for David Phillips.

0:51:000:51:03

-Phillips.

-Ratcliffe joins the attack.

0:51:030:51:06

-Saunders.

0:51:060:51:07

-The Welsh player of the year.

0:51:070:51:09

-He could win a corner.

-But Illgner gets there quickly.

0:51:110:51:14

-Again, Mark Hughes turning Buchwald

-as if he wasn't there...

0:51:150:51:19

-..and Buchwald was pulling

-his shorts and shirt...

0:51:190:51:22

-..trying anything

-to bring him down.

0:51:220:51:24

-Sammer loses possession. Nicholas.

0:51:270:51:29

-Saunders.

0:51:350:51:36

-He hasn't had much opportunity yet

-to run at the German defence...

0:51:360:51:40

-..as he likes to do,

-but he did well there.

0:51:400:51:42

-Rush.

0:51:420:51:44

-The first touch not quite

-good enough from Ian Rush.

0:51:440:51:47

-A good move once again

-by Wales there.

0:51:490:51:52

-Excellent football, fair play.

0:51:520:51:55

-Andrew Melville pushing his hand

-into Rudi Voller's face.

0:51:580:52:02

-But Melville will feel

-happy enough.

0:52:030:52:05

-It's goalless and I'm sure

-Andrew Melville's confidence...

0:52:050:52:09

-..will increase

-as the game goes on...

0:52:090:52:11

-..and Rudi Voller maybe

-starting to feel frustrated.

0:52:110:52:14

-Andrew Melville is shouting at

-players like Kevin Ratcliffe...

0:52:140:52:19

-..and David Phillips

-and he's growing into the game.

0:52:190:52:22

-Fair play, he hasn't

-put a foot wrong yet.

0:52:230:52:26

-Kohler. Brehme.

0:52:290:52:31

-Doll.

0:52:320:52:33

-Brehme helps him. Sammer is there.

0:52:360:52:38

-Voller.

0:52:390:52:41

-That's not what David Phillips

-intended.

0:52:420:52:45

-Rush tries to beat Brehme

-but fails.

0:52:450:52:47

-Kohler.

0:52:480:52:49

-Mark Hughes' foot was high.

0:52:500:52:52

-Mark Hughes was fortunate there

-not to catch Buchwald.

0:52:540:52:58

-I'm glad he didn't.

0:52:580:53:00

-I don't know what would have

-happened if he had caught him.

0:53:000:53:03

-I think he'd have been

-off the field.

0:53:040:53:06

-He'd probably still have

-been here tomorrow!

0:53:060:53:09

-Saunders and Helmer.

0:53:110:53:13

-Helmer is strong enough

-to hold off Dean Saunders.

0:53:140:53:16

-The Germans at the beginning

-of this second half...

0:53:210:53:23

-..seem to have slowed the game down

-and are taking time...

0:53:240:53:27

-..to adjust to the fact that

-Matthaus isn't on the pitch.

0:53:270:53:30

-I was just going to say that.

0:53:300:53:32

-They're taking more time

-than they were in the first half.

0:53:320:53:36

-It might be to do with the fact

-Matthaus has left the field.

0:53:360:53:40

-But let's hope Wales

-can keep going.

0:53:400:53:43

-Voller jumped straight

-into Andrew Melville there.

0:53:450:53:49

-Ratcliffe.

0:53:530:53:54

-Hughes. Ratcliffe again.

0:53:570:53:59

-David Phillips is finding space on

-this right side at the moment...

0:53:590:54:03

-..but nobody saw him that time.

0:54:030:54:05

-He has so much room.

0:54:050:54:07

-One good ball out

-to David Phillips...

0:54:070:54:10

-..and he has so much space

-to run into...

0:54:100:54:12

-..he could cause a lot of problems.

0:54:120:54:14

-Buchwald.

0:54:220:54:23

-Helmer.

0:54:270:54:28

-Klinsmann.

0:54:310:54:32

-Brehme.

0:54:340:54:35

-Five touches, six touches.

0:54:370:54:39

-They're making Wales work...

0:54:410:54:42

-..and making them come

-to look for the ball.

0:54:420:54:45

-Sammer.

0:54:510:54:53

-This is an excellent move...

0:54:530:54:55

-..but in the end Klinsmann

-failed to find Sammer.

0:54:550:54:58

-It's the same sort of thing

-that was happening to Wales...

0:54:580:55:01

-..in the first half.

0:55:020:55:03

-Excellent football but the final

-ball is letting them down.

0:55:030:55:07

-Terry Yorath didn't look

-too happy there.

0:55:070:55:10

-No. I think he had one or two

-things to shout about there.

0:55:110:55:14

-I'm glad we couldn't hear

-what it was!

0:55:160:55:18

-Thomas Helmer, who plays for

-Borussia Dortmund.

0:55:280:55:31

-At the moment,

-the Germans have managed...

0:55:370:55:40

-..to extinguish the Welsh fire...

0:55:400:55:42

-..that was so apparent at the

-end of that first half.

0:55:420:55:45

-And not only that, they have also

-managed to silence the crowd.

0:55:450:55:50

-But one mistake and Wales attack

-once again.

0:55:500:55:55

-Hughes.

0:56:050:56:06

-Phillips.

0:56:060:56:08

-Nicholas.

0:56:100:56:11

-Sammer.

0:56:140:56:16

-A strong tackle by Aizlewood.

0:56:170:56:19

-Saunders was offside.

0:56:270:56:29

-The crowd wasn't

-too happy with that.

0:56:290:56:31

-Those who were in line

-with the linesman...

0:56:310:56:34

-..weren't too happy

-with that decision.

0:56:340:56:38

-It's difficult to tell

-from the replay...

0:56:380:56:40

-..whether Dean Saunders started

-his run before the pass.

0:56:400:56:44

-Kohler. Klinsmann.

0:56:470:56:49

-Turns one way and then the other.

0:56:510:56:53

-Times his pass but only

-as far as Ratcliffe.

0:56:560:56:58

-Rush and Kohler.

0:57:010:57:03

-A foul by Ian Rush.

0:57:030:57:04

-I think he was holding him down.

0:57:080:57:12

-I think that was the right decision

-by the referee.

0:57:120:57:18

-10 minutes into the second half...

0:57:190:57:21

-..and it's goalless here

-at the National Stadium.

0:57:210:57:24

-Klinsmann for Germany. Sammer.

0:57:240:57:26

-A misunderstanding.

0:57:260:57:28

-To be fair, as we see the foul

-on Ian Rush...

0:57:290:57:33

-..Rush was also committing a foul.

0:57:330:57:35

-Reuter.

0:57:380:57:40

-You get the feeling that one goal

-will be enough tonight...

0:57:470:57:51

-..as Terry Yorath suggested.

0:57:510:57:53

-I think one goal will be enough...

0:57:540:57:57

-..for Wales or Germany

-to win tonight.

0:57:570:58:01

-I don't know why he's given that.

0:58:010:58:03

-Brehme takes the kick.

0:58:120:58:14

-Tony Norman, Gareth Hall,

-Jeremy Goss...

0:58:140:58:17

-..Gary Speed and Colin Pascoe on

-the bench for Wales this evening.

0:58:170:58:21

-For Germany it's Andreas Kopke,

-who's the goalkeeper...

0:58:210:58:24

-..Karl-Heinz Riedle, Dietmar

-Beiersdorfer and Stefan Effenberg.

0:58:250:58:28

-If you've just joined us...

0:58:290:58:30

-..Thomas Doll is on in place

-of Lothar Matthaus.

0:58:310:58:33

-Rush putting pressure on Reuter.

0:58:360:58:39

-That's the part of

-Ian Rush's game...

0:58:400:58:43

-..that maybe isn't

-appreciated enough.

0:58:430:58:46

-The running he does

-without the ball.

0:58:460:58:48

-I agree, Ian.

0:58:480:58:50

-People think,

-"Ian Rush has scored again."

0:58:510:58:54

-But they don't see half the work

-he does off the ball.

0:58:540:58:57

-Mark Hughes tackling back.

0:58:590:59:02

-I remember seeing

-Hughes and Rush...

0:59:020:59:04

-..playing in Scotland around

-five years ago...

0:59:040:59:07

-..and putting pressure

-on McLeish and Miller.

0:59:070:59:10

-Wales won 1-0 and both of them ran

-and tackled throughout the night.

0:59:100:59:14

-They don't get enough praise

-for the work they do.

0:59:140:59:17

-Well, Mark Hughes does...

0:59:180:59:20

-..but I don't think Ian Rush gets

-the praise he deserves...

0:59:200:59:23

-..for closing people down and

-running all over the field.

0:59:230:59:26

-He's always working hard.

0:59:270:59:28

-And he scores goals, of course.

0:59:290:59:31

-Matthias Sammer with the free-kick.

0:59:360:59:38

-It's headed away by Phillips.

0:59:380:59:40

-Rush.

0:59:400:59:42

-Barry Horne.

0:59:440:59:45

-A sea of red shirts

-break out of defence.

0:59:460:59:48

-An intelligent touch

-by Horne to Bodin.

0:59:490:59:51

-The pass doesn't reach Mark Hughes.

0:59:510:59:53

-I see that Gary Speed

-is warming up.

0:59:560:59:59

-A young Welsh player.

0:59:591:00:01

-The captain of the Wales

-under-20 team in Poland.

1:00:011:00:04

-A very promising player, Iwan.

1:00:041:00:06

-Yes, he's a good player.

1:00:061:00:08

-He's got a wonderful left foot...

1:00:081:00:10

-..and he's very quick, of course.

1:00:101:00:13

-It might be a good thing if

-he's introduced to the game.

1:00:131:00:17

-Reuter.

1:00:201:00:22

-Buchwald.

1:00:241:00:25

-Helmer and Kohler staying back.

1:00:271:00:29

-The Germans are strolling.

-They're not running quickly.

1:00:291:00:33

-The crowd trying to lift

-the Welsh team...

1:00:351:00:37

-..who are doing all the hard work.

1:00:371:00:39

-The tiring work of running

-after the ball...

1:00:391:00:42

-..to try and regain possession.

1:00:421:00:44

-This is why Germany

-are the world champions.

1:00:441:00:47

-If you can silence a crowd

-of 70,000 in Rome...

1:00:481:00:51

-..in a World Cup final...

1:00:511:00:53

-..you can do it at the

-National Stadium as well.

1:00:531:00:56

-Jurgen Klinsmann.

1:01:031:01:04

-Like Ian Rush...

1:01:051:01:06

-..he's been working hard without

-the ball for his country.

1:01:071:01:10

-And that maybe is a sign of

-Germany's tactics tonight...

1:01:101:01:14

-..as he calls them forward.

1:01:141:01:16

-They want to win this game 1-0.

1:01:161:01:18

-Sammer to Doll.

1:01:201:01:22

-Doll. Voller.

1:01:221:01:23

-Paul Bodin covering well there...

1:01:301:01:32

-..and passing the ball back

-easily to Neville Southall.

1:01:321:01:36

-Otherwise, Wales could have

-been in trouble there.

1:01:361:01:40

-Klinsmann. It was important

-that Aizlewood was there.

1:01:431:01:46

-Sammer was coming through

-from midfield.

1:01:461:01:49

-Wales lost their shape in midfield

-for a moment.

1:01:491:01:52

-Sammer.

1:01:521:01:54

-Reuter. Buchwald.

1:01:541:01:56

-Sammer.

1:01:571:01:58

-They have this ability to keep

-possession under pressure.

1:02:011:02:04

-Sammer.

1:02:041:02:06

-Berthold.

1:02:061:02:07

-Upping the pace. Berthold. Voller

-is there. Towards Klinsmann.

1:02:071:02:11

-And something has happened.

1:02:141:02:16

-Berthold has been sent off!

1:02:161:02:18

-Thomas Berthold.

1:02:181:02:20

-This is drama!

1:02:201:02:22

-Kevin Ratcliffe

-is lying on his back.

1:02:221:02:25

-I didn't see what happened but

-he must have done something...

1:02:251:02:29

-..and the referee saw what he did.

1:02:291:02:32

-He's now walking off the field.

1:02:321:02:34

-This is drama.

1:02:341:02:36

-I remember Thomas Berthold pulling

-Mark Hughes back two years ago...

1:02:361:02:40

-..when Hughes was clear.

1:02:411:02:42

-He wasn't punished then but

-he's been punished tonight.

1:02:421:02:46

-We'll see what happened.

1:02:461:02:47

-The ball has gone and we can see...

1:02:481:02:51

-..that he put his fist

-or his elbow...

1:02:511:02:54

-We'll see now.

1:02:561:02:57

-He kicked Kevin Ratcliffe.

1:02:591:03:01

-He deserved everything he got.

1:03:011:03:03

-Fair play to the referee.

-He saw it immediately.

1:03:031:03:06

-There was no doubt about it

-and he sent him off.

1:03:071:03:09

-Well, Thomas Berthold...

1:03:111:03:13

-..and Germany have lost their

-second experienced player.

1:03:131:03:17

-Matthaus because of an injury...

1:03:171:03:19

-..and now they've suffered

-another blow.

1:03:191:03:21

-Thomas Berthold,

-who plays for Roma.

1:03:211:03:24

-Ratcliffe has recovered.

1:03:361:03:38

-Peter Nicholas has been over to

-have a chat with the manager...

1:03:381:03:41

-..Terry Yorath, who's been

-making his message clear.

1:03:421:03:45

-Keep things quiet, settle down

-and don't lose your heads.

1:03:451:03:48

-And of course, over the years

-we've seen that when a team...

1:03:491:03:52

-..is reduced to 10 men

-they raise their game.

1:03:521:03:55

-Well, as you say, we've seen it

-so many times.

1:03:551:03:59

-Teams can raise their game

-and even win the match.

1:03:591:04:02

-This is real drama.

1:04:041:04:05

-We haven't had a goal, 16 minutes

-gone in the second half...

1:04:061:04:10

-..but Thomas Berthold...

1:04:101:04:12

-..is off the field

-for the world champions.

1:04:151:04:17

-He's been sent off.

1:04:181:04:19

-We might see the incident again...

1:04:191:04:21

-..in just a moment.

1:04:231:04:24

-But of course, when Wales were down

-to 10 men in Luxembourg...

1:04:251:04:28

-..when Clayton Blackmore was

-sent off, they went on to win.

1:04:281:04:32

-It forces every player...

1:04:321:04:34

-Well, that might be a sign

-of the pressure, Iwan.

1:04:341:04:38

-Brehme concedes a corner.

1:04:391:04:42

-Germany are under pressure

-and that just goes to prove it.

1:04:421:04:46

-When someone as experienced as him

-makes a mistake like that...

1:04:461:04:49

-..something must be going on.

1:04:501:04:52

-A corner. The third for Wales.

1:04:521:04:55

-Their second of the second half.

-Nicholas takes it.

1:04:551:04:59

-Phillips.

1:05:001:05:01

-An intelligent ball

-by Kevin Ratcliffe.

1:05:061:05:08

-Does Nicholas have the height?

1:05:091:05:10

-Unfortunately not, but the idea was

-a good one from Kevin Ratcliffe.

1:05:111:05:14

-Peter Nicholas couldn't reach it.

1:05:151:05:17

-He had plenty of room

-on the left wing.

1:05:181:05:20

-Kevin Ratcliffe

-overhit it a little.

1:05:201:05:22

-It would have been a good ball.

1:05:231:05:24

-Nicholas. Rush.

1:05:271:05:29

-Nobody was quite sure

-who was offside.

1:05:311:05:33

-"Who?", asks Rush. "Me?"

1:05:341:05:36

-I think Rush was offside there.

1:05:361:05:38

-I won't tell you what

-he said after that!

1:05:391:05:41

-I don't think he agreed

-with the linesman.

1:05:411:05:43

-He wasn't happy!

1:05:441:05:45

-Terry Yorath doesn't look

-very happy.

1:05:451:05:48

-I wonder what's going

-through his mind now?

1:05:501:05:52

-His team is playing against 10 men.

1:05:531:05:55

-Do they change the pattern

-or stick to the same one?

1:05:551:05:58

-At the moment they need

-to keep the same pattern...

1:05:581:06:01

-..and the same formation.

1:06:011:06:03

-But the longer the game goes on...

1:06:031:06:05

-..I think he'll have

-to change something...

1:06:051:06:07

-..especially now that Germany

-have had a man sent off.

1:06:081:06:11

-They have to get the ball upfield

-more quickly.

1:06:131:06:16

-Buchwald and Mark Hughes.

1:06:161:06:18

-He's playing for a corner.

-He gets a throw in.

1:06:201:06:23

-Good play from Mark Hughes there.

1:06:241:06:27

-He's had such a good season

-with Manchester United.

1:06:281:06:31

-He's one player who could

-make a difference here.

1:06:311:06:34

-Nicholas towards Bodin.

-Klinsmann is there.

1:06:341:06:37

-Rush trying to turn.

1:06:371:06:38

-Once again, they were

-pulling his shirt.

1:06:421:06:44

-That's the third or fourth time

-they've done that.

1:06:441:06:47

-The referee didn't see it.

1:06:471:06:49

-If he had, it would

-have been a penalty.

1:06:491:06:53

-Brehme failing to find Klinsmann

-and Germany could be caught here.

1:06:531:06:57

-They're a man down and four

-of them were up in attack.

1:06:571:07:00

-And suddenly, because Reuter has

-moved back to central defence...

1:07:001:07:04

-..Paul Bodin has some space.

1:07:041:07:06

-Aizlewood to Nicholas.

1:07:061:07:08

-Nicholas in towards Saunders.

1:07:111:07:13

-Very unlucky there.

1:07:151:07:17

-That was Ian Rush getting caught.

1:07:201:07:22

-You can't see it

-very clearly there.

1:07:221:07:25

-But he was pulling his shirt.

1:07:251:07:28

-He was making it difficult for

-Ian Rush to get the ball to feet.

1:07:281:07:33

-I'm sure if the referee had seen it

-it would have been a penalty.

1:07:331:07:36

-Just over 20 minutes played

-in the second half. Still 0-0.

1:07:391:07:42

-Thomas Berthold has been sent off.

1:07:441:07:46

-Rudi Volley is playing

-up front on his own.

1:07:461:07:48

-Klinsmann has moved back

-to keep an eye on Paul Bodin.

1:07:481:07:51

-Reuter has moved into the middle...

1:07:511:07:53

-..and Sammer has moved

-out to the right.

1:07:541:07:56

-So they have changed

-their formation.

1:07:561:07:58

-Yes, they've had to change

-their formation...

1:07:581:08:01

-..after the sending off

-of Berthold.

1:08:011:08:04

-But you have to watch them

-on the break...

1:08:041:08:06

-..because their players

-are so quick.

1:08:071:08:09

-Voller.

1:08:091:08:10

-Kohler.

1:08:101:08:12

-Reuter is attacking through

-the middle as well.

1:08:121:08:15

-Voller.

1:08:151:08:17

-Bodin. Is the pass too early?

1:08:191:08:22

-Rush. He's in behind Buchwald!

1:08:221:08:23

-Ian Rush! A great chance for Rush!

-It's a goal!

1:08:241:08:27

-Ian Rush!

1:08:271:08:29

-Wonderful!

1:08:311:08:32

-What an incredible ball

-by Paul Bodin.

1:08:321:08:34

-And Ian Rush is so quick...

1:08:341:08:37

-..you can't catch him

-in that kind of situation.

1:08:371:08:40

-A great goal!

1:08:411:08:42

-The crowd are on their feet!

-It's deafening here!

1:08:421:08:45

-One or two have run on

-to the field.

1:08:451:08:47

-They have to get the clowns

-off the pitch.

1:08:471:08:50

-He was never going

-to catch him here.

1:08:531:08:56

-He took his time,

-as he always does...

1:08:561:08:59

-..and puts it in the

-back of the net.

1:08:591:09:01

-The pass forward was lovely

-by Paul Bodin.

1:09:011:09:05

-A wonderful ball, fair play.

1:09:051:09:07

-Berthold...

1:09:071:09:08

-No, Buchwald couldn't catch him.

1:09:091:09:11

-He took his time

-and picked his corner.

1:09:111:09:13

-1-0.

1:09:131:09:14

-21 minutes on the clock

-when the goal was scored.

1:09:151:09:17

-It's a great pass by Bodin

-with his left foot.

1:09:181:09:20

-Rush timing his run perfectly.

1:09:211:09:22

-The ball landing a bit behind him.

1:09:231:09:26

-But he had the ability to strike

-that one beautifully.

1:09:271:09:30

-Illgner didn't stand a chance.

1:09:301:09:32

-Well...

1:09:321:09:34

-I wonder what Germany will do now?

1:09:341:09:36

-I don't think they'll stick to the

-same pattern they had before.

1:09:371:09:41

-They have to attack now.

1:09:411:09:43

-Every time Wales win the ball,

-the crowd start cheering.

1:09:511:09:55

-Ian Rush.

1:09:561:09:57

-He's scored 19 goals

-for his country.

1:10:001:10:02

-I don't think he's ever scored...

1:10:031:10:05

-..a more important goal.

1:10:081:10:09

-It's important they stay calm.

1:10:141:10:16

-They're winning 1-0

-against ten men...

1:10:161:10:19

-..but we've still got half

-of the second half to go.

1:10:201:10:23

-But if they're going to score, they

-have to beat Neville Southall...

1:10:231:10:27

-..one of the best goalkeepers

-in the world.

1:10:271:10:30

-Terry Yorath.

1:10:301:10:31

-You'd never guess his team's

-in the lead.

1:10:321:10:34

-You wouldn't think

-we're winning 1-0.

1:10:341:10:37

-And against the world champions

-too.

1:10:381:10:40

-I don't think we've heard cheering

-that loud when Ian Rush scored...

1:10:451:10:50

-..at this ground for years.

1:10:501:10:52

-Ratcliffe.

1:10:571:10:58

-Melville.

1:11:011:11:02

-It would be nice if we got another

-one to take the pressure off.

1:11:071:11:11

-We'd be spoiled then. It's good

-they've managed to score one!

1:11:131:11:16

-I think I'm getting

-a bit greedy now.

1:11:171:11:19

-A foul on Melville by Voller.

1:11:291:11:31

-He, and the rest of the team

-maybe...

1:11:331:11:36

-Melville doing some good work

-on Voller...

1:11:401:11:43

-..and Voller wasn't happy.

-He was shouting at the referee.

1:11:431:11:47

-I was going to say, maybe nobody

-feels worse than Thomas Berthold.

1:11:481:11:52

-There you go,

-that's Andrew Melville...

1:11:521:11:54

-..who can be satisfied

-with his performance tonight.

1:11:551:11:58

-Up until now anyway.

1:11:581:11:59

-I wonder if Berthold

-could hear the crowd...

1:12:001:12:03

-..after the ball went into

-the back of the net?

1:12:031:12:06

-Helmer.

1:12:101:12:12

-Reuter. Brehme.

1:12:121:12:14

-Brehme.

1:12:271:12:29

-Saunders.

1:12:331:12:34

-It's important that Wales don't

-over complicate things.

1:12:451:12:49

-Just play the natural style.

1:12:491:12:51

-Germany have players that can

-change the game in a second.

1:12:521:12:56

-This is Paul Bodin.

1:12:561:12:58

-Tackled.

1:12:581:13:00

-Buchwald's long legs getting there.

1:13:011:13:04

-But Paul Bodin with the confidence

-to show Buchwald the ball...

1:13:051:13:09

-..before passing him.

1:13:091:13:11

-Fair play to Paul.

1:13:121:13:13

-He was trying to do that throughout

-the first half...

1:13:141:13:16

-..and he's still trying. He was

-unlucky not to pass Buchwald there.

1:13:171:13:22

-Barry Horne there before Klinsmann.

1:13:221:13:25

-The world champions look shaken.

1:13:321:13:34

-Sammer.

1:13:391:13:40

-Reuter.

1:13:421:13:43

-Brehme. In by Philips.

1:13:431:13:45

-Effenberg, one of the

-replacements...

1:13:521:13:54

-..for Germany warming up behind

-Illgner's goal.

1:13:561:14:00

-He hasn't played for his country

-before. There's Effenberg.

1:14:011:14:04

-He's easily recognisable

-with his blond hair.

1:14:041:14:08

-Voller against Phillips.

1:14:101:14:13

-Sammer!

1:14:141:14:16

-They're giving Voller

-too much time again.

1:14:191:14:21

-Voller had time to cross the ball.

1:14:221:14:24

-Sammer heading it, but Neville

-Southall saving it again.

1:14:241:14:28

-The cross by Voller, Sammer jumping

-up. He had Klinsmann behind him.

1:14:281:14:33

-Southall hasn't had that much to do

-in the second half...

1:14:331:14:36

-..but he had to show he's awake.

1:14:371:14:39

-The ball across again.

-Sammer had time. Nobody saw him.

1:14:391:14:44

-Saunders. Rush.

1:14:451:14:47

-Off Rush.

1:14:481:14:50

-Off Kohler and then off Rush.

1:14:501:14:53

-A goal kick.

1:14:531:14:55

-Terry Yorath trying to get

-someone's attention.

1:14:591:15:02

-Less than 20 minutes to go...

1:15:071:15:09

-..between Terry Yorath...

1:15:101:15:13

-..and maybe his best victory

-as Wales manager.

1:15:141:15:17

-Sammer.

1:15:201:15:21

-Kohler with the run.

1:15:211:15:23

-Effenberg coming on. Number 15.

1:15:341:15:38

-I'm not sure who's coming off.

1:15:411:15:44

-Number eight.

1:15:441:15:45

-That's Sammer, who got close

-to scoring a few minutes ago.

1:15:461:15:49

-From over here, he looks

-like a very tall player.

1:15:501:15:53

-He'll be good in the air.

1:15:541:15:57

-That's Sammer leaving the pitch.

1:15:571:15:59

-He wasn't that effective

-against Belgium...

1:15:591:16:01

-..and maybe Berti Vogts feels

-a change is needed.

1:16:021:16:05

-This is Stefan Effenberg.

-As you can see, he's very tall.

1:16:051:16:09

-He wins his first cap.

1:16:091:16:11

-He plays for Bayern Munich.

1:16:111:16:14

-I think he'll go into midfield to

-secure possession in the air.

1:16:141:16:19

-I'd think so, he's very tall.

1:16:191:16:21

-He must be good in the air...

1:16:221:16:23

-..and quick of course

-because they all are.

1:16:241:16:26

-But, no...

1:16:261:16:29

-He's gone to the left wing. I don't

-think he'll be there for long.

1:16:291:16:33

-Just a little over 15 minutes.

-Wales 1, Germany 0.

1:16:391:16:42

-Ian Rush with the goal 21 minutes

-into the second half.

1:16:421:16:45

-Effenberg, his first touch.

1:16:451:16:47

-Ratcliffe clearing.

1:16:471:16:49

-Kohler.

1:16:491:16:51

-Bodin.

1:16:511:16:52

-Saunders.

1:16:521:16:54

-For a second there, the Wales

-players looked at each other...

1:16:561:17:00

-..and prayed!

1:17:001:17:02

-Andrew Melville failed

-to clear it...

1:17:021:17:05

-..but Kevin Ratcliffe doing

-the good work of clearing it.

1:17:051:17:08

-It's important Wales

-kill the game.

1:17:091:17:12

-Just take their time like

-the Germans did before we scored.

1:17:121:17:16

-Just pass the ball about and pass

-it back to Neville Southall.

1:17:161:17:20

-We don't need another goal.

1:17:211:17:24

-It would be nice

-but there's no need.

1:17:241:17:26

-A throw in for Wales. Paul Bodin,

-who created that goal for Ian Rush.

1:17:371:17:40

-Saunders.

1:17:421:17:44

-Saunders.

-His first chance to run.

1:17:451:17:48

-Reuter giving away a corner.

1:17:481:17:51

-They can't cope when they run

-at them.

1:17:511:17:54

-He has to give away a corner there.

1:17:551:17:57

-He's terrorised the Belgian

-defence and the Luxembourg defence.

1:17:581:18:02

-He's doing the same

-to the German defence.

1:18:021:18:05

-Peter Nicholas will take

-the corner.

1:18:051:18:07

-This is Wales' fourth corner.

1:18:071:18:10

-The third in the second half.

1:18:121:18:14

-Germany have only had one

-throughout the game.

1:18:141:18:17

-Just under 15 minutes to go.

-Nicholas with the kick.

1:18:191:18:22

-Away by Helmer.

1:18:221:18:24

-Effenberg looks to be very fast

-as well as very tall.

1:18:241:18:27

-Putting Bodin under pressure.

1:18:271:18:30

-Doll, under pressure.

1:18:341:18:36

-Rush. It finds Brehme.

1:18:361:18:39

-Brehme. Back to Doll.

1:18:391:18:41

-Thomas Doll.

1:18:441:18:45

-Effenberg. He was on the left a

-minute a go. On the right side now.

1:18:451:18:50

-A touch to Effenberg.

1:18:501:18:52

-He looks to have plenty of talent

-on the ball for a tall player.

1:18:521:18:56

-A touch to Voller.

1:18:561:18:58

-The ten men continue to fight.

1:19:001:19:02

-Voller again.

1:19:031:19:05

-Voller needs support.

1:19:061:19:07

-A foul by Saunders.

1:19:101:19:11

-Voller has to be careful because

-he's being a bit foolish.

1:19:131:19:17

-He's shouting at the referee.

1:19:171:19:19

-He was trying to trip Dean

-Saunders. He has to be careful.

1:19:201:19:23

-They've already had one man

-sent off, Berthold...

1:19:241:19:27

-..for kicking Kevin Ratcliffe.

1:19:271:19:29

-They paid dearly for that.

-Ian Rush scored.

1:19:311:19:34

-The kick by Reuter.

1:19:371:19:38

-Effenberg can't reach it

-but Aizlewood does.

1:19:381:19:41

-Brehme. A lovely cross by Brehme.

-Klinsmann.

1:19:411:19:44

-Voller.

1:19:441:19:46

-That was a great chance.

1:19:471:19:48

-They're still dangerous.

1:19:491:19:51

-I don't know... Maybe he was

-offside or he was pushing.

1:19:511:19:55

-He is dangerous.

-A lovely cross by Brehme.

1:19:581:20:01

-Klinsmann headed it and Voller just

-couldn't get to the ball.

1:20:011:20:06

-Andre Melville was appealing

-for something.

1:20:061:20:09

-Klinsmann or Voller.

1:20:091:20:11

-Maybe Voller was

-offside to begin with.

1:20:111:20:14

-I think so.

1:20:141:20:15

-The linesman put his flag up

-straight away.

1:20:151:20:19

-Berti Vogts. This is the

-hardest game, according to him...

1:20:191:20:22

-..and Rainer Bonhof, his assistant,

-since the World Cup.

1:20:231:20:26

-He was right.

-His team are behind 1-0.

1:20:261:20:29

-That's the sign of the pressure on

-someone like Berti Vogts.

1:20:311:20:34

-Every manger since 1954 has won

-either the World Cup...

1:20:341:20:38

-..or the European Championships.

1:20:381:20:40

-Vogts himself won...

1:20:401:20:42

-..a winners' medal in 1974

-against the Netherlands.

1:20:421:20:46

-I don't think David Phillips had

-intended to hit that quite so hard.

1:20:501:20:54

-I was about to say that.

1:20:541:20:56

-Neville Southall got himself

-behind the ball.

1:20:561:20:58

-I'm sure he had a

-heart attack there!

1:20:591:21:02

-Voller being penalised that time.

1:21:041:21:06

-It's interesting, Iwan, when you

-look back at the goal...

1:21:071:21:10

-..we've talked about Berthold.

1:21:101:21:12

-If he was on the field it's

-unlikely Rush would have scored.

1:21:131:21:16

-The Germans would have

-pushed forward.

1:21:161:21:19

-The ball Paul Bodin played

-from midfield...

1:21:191:21:23

-..he would have been there and Rush

-wouldn't have had as much time.

1:21:231:21:28

-Ian Rush.

1:21:281:21:30

-Mark Hughes is on the floor

-and Terry Yorath is angry.

1:21:301:21:33

-Let's see what happened.

1:21:331:21:35

-Hughes with the ball,

-Effenberg going for it.

1:21:351:21:38

-Hughes trying to keep the ball and

-Effenberg just clipped him.

1:21:391:21:43

-Ron Stitfall insisting on

-giving treatment but the referee...

1:21:441:21:47

-..Karlsson, refusing.

1:21:511:21:53

-When it comes to offences...

1:21:531:21:55

-..Wales have committed a total

-of 13 fouls.

1:21:561:21:59

-And Germany, 12.

1:22:041:22:06

-We've got all the statistics

-tonight.

1:22:131:22:16

-Ten minutes to go. Thomas Doll.

1:22:171:22:19

-Tries to find Brehme but he can't.

1:22:201:22:22

-Saunders.

1:22:221:22:23

-Against Doll.

1:22:251:22:27

-Doll trying to pull him.

-Saunders, very intelligent.

1:22:271:22:30

-Phillips.

1:22:321:22:33

-Ratcliffe.

1:22:351:22:36

-I don't think Ratcliffe's happy

-with that pass from Phillips.

1:22:371:22:41

-It put him under pressure.

1:22:411:22:43

-But Wales being sensible with only

-ten minutes left.

1:22:431:22:46

-They don't want to do anything

-stupid...

1:22:461:22:48

-..like give the ball to Germany.

1:22:491:22:50

-They've shown they have the ability

-to create problems...

1:22:511:22:54

-..when Brehme had the ball.

1:22:541:22:56

-Just keep the ball

-for as long as they can.

1:22:561:23:00

-Phillips.

1:23:211:23:22

-Hughes. Nicholas.

1:23:221:23:24

-Ratcliffe.

1:23:241:23:25

-Maybe that's where he

-expected Paul Bodin to be...

1:23:281:23:31

-..but Bodin had stayed back because

-Effenberg is on the halfway line.

1:23:321:23:36

-This is Reuter.

1:23:361:23:38

-It's important thing now is not to

-make as many runs forward...

1:23:381:23:41

-..but to defend well

-and pick men up.

1:23:421:23:45

-Buchwald to Klinsmann.

1:23:451:23:47

-Klinsmann's beaten Aizlewood

-but Southall is wide awake.

1:23:471:23:50

-Bodin to Nicholas.

1:23:521:23:54

-Melville.

1:23:571:23:58

-Rush.

1:24:001:24:01

-Hughes.

1:24:031:24:04

-Rush.

1:24:041:24:05

-I think Helmer got a bit

-of a scare there.

1:24:081:24:11

-Seeing Mark Hughes coming

-straight for him.

1:24:121:24:14

-Bodin.

1:24:151:24:16

-Against Kohler. Saunders.

1:24:191:24:21

-Effenberg with those long legs.

1:24:231:24:26

-The pass straight to Horne.

1:24:271:24:29

-Reuter.

1:24:291:24:31

-Brehme. Rush was there.

1:24:331:24:35

-Voller.

1:24:431:24:44

-Andrew Melville did well

-against Klinsmann there.

1:24:551:24:59

-Looking very comfortable there

-considering he's winning...

1:24:591:25:03

-..his sixth or seventh cap tonight.

1:25:031:25:05

-He has played really well.

1:25:051:25:07

-He hasn't put a foot wrong,

-fair play.

1:25:071:25:10

-He hasn't given anyone

-any space at all.

1:25:111:25:15

-Wales lead 1-0.

1:25:241:25:27

-A free kick. Seven minutes to go.

1:25:291:25:31

-Ratcliffe to Aizlewood.

1:25:351:25:37

-A win would be a huge boost

-on the way to Sweden...

1:25:391:25:42

-..but some in the

-press and media saying...

1:25:431:25:46

-..that a win tonight would

-guarantee a place in Sweden.

1:25:471:25:50

-But they have to travel to

-Nuremburg first and losing there...

1:25:501:25:54

-..by more than 1-0 would mean goal

-difference against Luxembourg.

1:25:541:25:59

-Wales have to play Luxembourg

-at home.

1:25:591:26:02

-Germany have to play them

-at home too...

1:26:021:26:05

-..before travelling to Belgium.

1:26:051:26:07

-It's far from being over.

1:26:071:26:09

-No, it isn't over yet.

1:26:091:26:12

-There's still a lot of hard work

-left to do.

1:26:121:26:15

-But the right result tonight

-would be a huge help.

1:26:161:26:20

-Rudi Voller.

1:26:211:26:22

-I don't think he'll be the most

-popular player tonight.

1:26:221:26:26

-We'll watch him now tackling

-Barry Horne.

1:26:261:26:29

-Voller caught him with that tackle.

1:26:291:26:31

-And not for the first time.

1:26:311:26:33

-As you said, the Germans...

1:26:391:26:43

-..have to travel to Belgium and

-that won't be an easy game.

1:26:431:26:48

-Rush.

1:26:501:26:52

-Kohler.

1:26:531:26:54

-Voller offering the ball

-to Melville.

1:27:091:27:11

-He wants Wales to get on

-with the game.

1:27:131:27:16

-There's a man under pressure,

-Berti Vogts.

1:27:161:27:19

-There are rumours he isn't well

-respected by the older players...

1:27:191:27:24

-..like Klinsmann.

1:27:241:27:26

-Rush. But Hughes was offside.

1:27:271:27:29

-Well... Mark Hughes did

-a silly thing there.

1:27:341:27:38

-He's already had a yellow card.

1:27:381:27:40

-Remembering what happened

-to Peter Nicholas...

1:27:401:27:43

-..it wouldn't be a surprise if the

-referee had shown a yellow card.

1:27:441:27:48

-No. Kicking the ball away

-like that.

1:27:481:27:51

-He deserves a yellow card.

1:27:511:27:53

-But I don't think Mark Hughes

-heard the referee...

1:27:541:27:57

-..blowing his whistle.

1:27:571:27:59

-We'll give him the

-benefit of the doubt.

1:27:591:28:02

-We don't want him to miss

-the next game!

1:28:021:28:05

-Well, Wales have never beaten

-Germany.

1:28:131:28:16

-They beat East Germany

-in 1957-58, 4-1.

1:28:171:28:22

-That was in Cardiff when Des

-Palmer, from Swansea, scored.

1:28:241:28:29

-Des Palmer moved from Swansea

-to Liverpool...

1:28:291:28:34

-..and who replaced him?

1:28:341:28:36

-We've just seen Effenberg and

-Ailzewood going for the same ball.

1:28:371:28:40

-A cross by Effenberg

-looking for Brehme.

1:28:401:28:43

-Klinsmann! A brilliant save!

1:28:471:28:49

-Southall keeping Wales in the game.

1:28:521:28:54

-There was nobody there

-to challenge him.

1:28:591:29:03

-The goalkeeper proving his worth.

-The pressure's still there.

1:29:031:29:06

-A brilliant save by

-Neville Southall.

1:29:071:29:09

-Wales somehow manage to clear it.

1:29:111:29:13

-If people talk about Gordon Bank's

-save in Mexico in 1970...

1:29:191:29:23

-..they'll have to mention that one.

1:29:231:29:25

-Voller to Klinsmann.

-The danger's not over yet.

1:29:251:29:28

-Aizlewood doing some...

1:29:281:29:30

-..great work.

1:29:311:29:33

-Bodin.

1:29:331:29:34

-Saunders.

1:29:361:29:37

-Let's have a look at the save.

1:29:371:29:39

-Brehme here.

1:29:391:29:41

-A header by Klinsmann but nobody

-challenged him.

1:29:421:29:45

-They somehow cleared it.

1:29:451:29:47

-A brilliant save by that man.

1:29:481:29:50

-Ian Rush's goal was very important

-but so was that save.

1:29:521:29:56

-Maybe that's why many count

-Neville Southall...

1:30:001:30:03

-..as the best in the world.

1:30:031:30:05

-Klinsmann's touch to Voller.

-Melville.

1:30:051:30:08

-Great work by Melville again.

1:30:101:30:13

-He didn't give Voller any space.

1:30:131:30:15

-Two minutes remaining.

1:30:171:30:19

-Wales have never won before.

1:30:221:30:24

-This is their most important game.

1:30:251:30:27

-There's a substitution,

-Gary Speed will come on.

1:30:271:30:30

-This man played more games for

-Leeds than anyone else last season.

1:30:331:30:38

-That shows how...

1:30:381:30:41

-..how well respected he is

-at Elland Road.

1:30:431:30:47

-The crowd screaming

-for the final whistle.

1:30:491:30:51

-Voller and Southall.

1:30:561:30:57

-Voller has angered a few

-of the Welsh players.

1:30:571:31:01

-Not that it worries

-Neville Southall.

1:31:041:31:06

-He sees the funny side of it.

1:31:061:31:08

-He would

-with his side 1-0 in the lead.

1:31:081:31:10

-Two minutes remaining.

1:31:111:31:13

-Voller jumping for Southall.

1:31:131:31:15

-Neville Southall strong enough

-to withstand the challenge.

1:31:151:31:19

-Who's coming off?

1:31:201:31:21

-Dean Saunders.

1:31:221:31:23

-The crowd are on their feet

-applauding Dean Saunders.

1:31:261:31:29

-He's worked so hard tonight.

1:31:291:31:31

-He's created huge problems

-for the German defence.

1:31:311:31:34

-He's done a good job.

1:31:351:31:36

-I think they're just wasting a

-bit of time with the substitution.

1:31:371:31:41

-Gary Speed, 22-years-old.

1:31:431:31:45

-He wins his sixth cap.

1:31:461:31:48

-There are 30 seconds to go

-of the 90 minutes.

1:31:481:31:52

-Wales...

1:31:521:31:53

-..are within seconds

-of a famous win.

1:31:571:31:59

-It will be a huge boost, not only

-in their efforts to go to Sweden...

1:31:591:32:04

-..but for the game in general

-in Wales.

1:32:041:32:06

-It has needed a boost for years...

1:32:061:32:08

-..because of the situation

-with the clubs.

1:32:081:32:11

-A win over the world champions

-would be a perfect boost.

1:32:111:32:15

-But... Voller.

1:32:161:32:17

-To Effenberg!

1:32:181:32:19

-I was about to say, the Germans

-will fight until the last second...

1:32:211:32:26

-..and Effenberg nearly scored or

-created the goal for Klinsmann.

1:32:271:32:30

-Voller with the cross there.

1:32:321:32:34

-But he didn't get hold of it

-and Southall saved it.

1:32:341:32:38

-It's deafening here.

1:32:381:32:40

-It's deafening here at the moment.

1:32:401:32:43

-The seconds...

1:32:431:32:45

-We're 30 seconds into extra time.

1:32:451:32:47

-The Swedish referee...

1:32:471:32:50

-..Karlsson, looking at his watch.

1:32:501:32:53

-Reuter.

1:32:561:32:58

-Phillips.

1:32:591:33:00

-Helmer.

1:33:021:33:04

-Germany have got everyone

-in attack.

1:33:041:33:06

-A touch by Buchwald. Aizlewood not

-clearing cleanly. Voller.

1:33:061:33:10

-Voller again.

-The pass to Effenberg.

1:33:101:33:13

-By David Phillips of everyone.

1:33:131:33:15

-Wales have had a few seconds of

-panic in this last five minutes.

1:33:161:33:21

-Here it is again.

1:33:221:33:23

-I don't know what he was doing.

1:33:241:33:26

-And there it is!

1:33:261:33:27

-I thought the game was over

-but it isn't quite yet.

1:33:291:33:32

-Neville Southall has been

-penalised.

1:33:321:33:34

-But rather...

1:33:371:33:39

-For a second everyone thought

-Southall had been penalised.

1:33:391:33:42

-But...

1:33:431:33:45

-..he was fouled.

1:33:461:33:48

-In the past, Neville has been

-punished for wasting time.

1:33:481:33:52

-I thought that's what had happened.

1:33:521:33:55

-That he'd taken too many steps.

1:33:551:33:57

-I thought the referee had seen him

-and given a free kick.

1:33:571:34:01

-It's good enough

-just to clear it now.

1:34:031:34:05

-A minute, nearly two minutes

-into extra time.

1:34:061:34:10

-Wales are in the lead 1-0.

1:34:101:34:12

-It's over!

1:34:131:34:14

-There it is! It's over!

1:34:141:34:16

-Wales have a special

-and historic victory.

1:34:161:34:21

-Look at the players celebrating.

-That's Ian Rush, the scorer.

1:34:211:34:25

-What a result and what a goal

-from Ian Rush.

1:34:271:34:31

-The celebrations flowing from the

-stands to the field...

1:34:311:34:35

-..at the National Stadium.

1:34:351:34:37

-It was one of the biggest wins

-ever for the national team.

1:34:371:34:41

-But it was a different story

-in Nuremburg.

1:34:411:34:45

-Germany thrashed Wales 4-1.

1:34:451:34:48

-Paul Bodin's late penalty was

-hardly a consolation.

1:34:481:34:52

-And another Bodin penalty was

-the difference...

1:34:551:34:57

-..in their last match, at home,

-against Luxembourg.

1:34:581:35:01

-This late goal meant that Wales...

1:35:041:35:06

-..finished the campaign top

-of the group.

1:35:061:35:09

-Unfortunately, Germany

-had two games in hand...

1:35:101:35:14

-..and they won both.

1:35:141:35:16

-They finished just one point clear

-at the top.

1:35:161:35:21

-Heartbreak once again for the

-Wales football team.
