:00:00. > :00:08.developing into a very attritional struggle.

:00:09. > :00:17.Sweden, dominating the corner count. Deeper this time from Asllani. Seger

:00:18. > :00:20.was waiting. Dahlkvist through the crowd! And Schult is able to make a

:00:21. > :00:32.comfortable save. She was having a shot through all

:00:33. > :00:37.the players, hoping shot was unsighted. -- hoping Schult was

:00:38. > :00:54.unsighted. Maier getting forward once again.

:00:55. > :01:01.Mittag was almost on the end of that. Samuelsson with an important

:01:02. > :01:10.header away, now Asllani. Behringer is penalised. This was a foul from

:01:11. > :01:19.Behringer. She has had an excellent tournament though. So experienced.

:01:20. > :01:26.Top goal-scorer, Isaac, as well. Five goals so far, three in her last

:01:27. > :01:34.three games. For a midfielder, that's not bad. Usually you expect

:01:35. > :01:39.Anja Mittag to dominate the goal-scoring charts. She's got a

:01:40. > :01:49.couple, but at the moment Behringer is overshadowing her. Now Samuelsson

:01:50. > :01:59.on the overlap. Kemme is a very durable defender.

:02:00. > :02:11.When these sides met in the World Cup last year, in the round of 16,

:02:12. > :02:14.Germany won 4-1 on that occasion. Celia Sasic scored a couple of

:02:15. > :02:21.goals. Now of course, she has retired. Support from Asllani.

:02:22. > :02:35.Germany managed to scramble the ball clear.

:02:36. > :02:51.Taking the aerial route. Bartusiak will have to deal with this.

:02:52. > :02:57.Sembrant winning the ball in the area gain.

:02:58. > :03:06.There's no doubt here Germany are full. They are finding it very

:03:07. > :03:15.difficult to get the ball down and really impose themselves on Sweden.

:03:16. > :03:16.But it's a warm evening. Can Sweden match the intensity of this

:03:17. > :03:31.workrate? Krahn will get there before

:03:32. > :03:35.Jakobsson. It's usually Germany physically can dominate teams, but

:03:36. > :03:39.Sweden are just as physical as they are, just as aggressive in the

:03:40. > :03:44.tackle. You can see when the Germans get over the halfway line and Sweden

:03:45. > :03:50.press, they press with intent, to win the ball.

:03:51. > :03:58.Behringer has won the corner. Seger with the challenge.

:03:59. > :04:12.Caroline Seger, taking the Captain's role, organising.

:04:13. > :04:16.It's already looking like the sort of game that could be settled by a

:04:17. > :04:30.minor detail. Behringer's corner, Marozsan, well,

:04:31. > :04:34.it was the right idea, but slightly off with the execution. She's got

:04:35. > :04:39.the ability to score goals from there as well. I think they've

:04:40. > :04:42.probably looked at how Sweden defend corners very well, so maybe try

:04:43. > :05:01.something different. Another day, that might have gone in.

:05:02. > :05:08.She has clearly done her homework here. If they allow Behringer to

:05:09. > :05:12.have the ball, then they are plugging the gaps had of her, so

:05:13. > :05:14.it's very difficult to pick out her team-mate. -- they are plugging the

:05:15. > :05:30.gaps ahead of her. Sembrant. That's where you need in

:05:31. > :05:35.the centre forwards to stretch the play a bit, whether it's out wide,

:05:36. > :05:40.or as far forward as you can, to try to create a bit of space or a few

:05:41. > :05:45.gaps in between. Given away by Kemme. They managed to get the ball

:05:46. > :05:53.across, but she was really looking for Asllani to be waiting. Nobody

:05:54. > :05:56.could be keeping up with her. She wants to drive, she wants to

:05:57. > :06:01.dribble. She gets the ball across but there's not another player. The

:06:02. > :06:10.Swedish colours in the box. They do have a corner.

:06:11. > :06:14.Lotta Schelin will be one of the targets. Fischer and Sembrant

:06:15. > :06:36.rumbling forward now. The gain from Asllani, fisted away

:06:37. > :06:40.by Schult. Sweden still have it, Fischer. Now Asllani, neatly turns

:06:41. > :06:46.away from Mittag. That's a good cross. Jakobsson's shot, Sembrant

:06:47. > :06:56.again, really good chance for Sweden. Schough, beyond Marozsan,

:06:57. > :07:01.and Germany escape. That's another chance for Sweden. There's been so

:07:02. > :07:04.many clear-cut chances for both teams and that's something at

:07:05. > :07:08.half-time has to be said, they have to be more clinical. When you get

:07:09. > :07:12.that chance, it's easy to say up here, lots of pressure, it's a final

:07:13. > :07:23.situation, these are good, good players and they'll be disappointed.

:07:24. > :07:29.In mitigation, you could say the Swedish chances are maybe falling to

:07:30. > :07:32.the wrong players. But for Germany, Anja Mittag will still be wondering

:07:33. > :08:00.just how she failed to score. Sweden may have entered the

:08:01. > :08:01.competition via the back door, but they are justifying their inclusion

:08:02. > :08:08.at the moment. Schelin ahead of her. Bartusiak cuts

:08:09. > :08:41.it out well. They eventually find Dabritz, who

:08:42. > :08:46.turns away from Samuelsson. There always seems to be a Swedish player,

:08:47. > :08:53.doubling up to make the challenge, or cause some havoc. Right, when

:08:54. > :08:57.they go in to tackle, there's one, two, three Swedish players around,

:08:58. > :09:04.just making it very difficult for Germany to find any patterns of.

:09:05. > :09:11.Dabritz. Fischer is there just to shepherd the ball behind. Germany

:09:12. > :09:15.have done in patches. They have played the one and two touch and

:09:16. > :09:19.that's how, when it's such a rigid backline and midfield line, that's

:09:20. > :09:22.how you can get round them, get the ball out wide them. They have

:09:23. > :09:31.created openings but not been able to score. That's a great sight.

:09:32. > :09:35.This ground will be full tomorrow night, but it's good to see so many

:09:36. > :09:53.people here this evening. Bartusiak. Schult gifting the ball back to

:09:54. > :10:16.Sweden. Schelin tried to improvise, but the

:10:17. > :10:19.whistle has gone. We saw another legend of the game, Canada's

:10:20. > :10:26.Christine Sinclair in tears earlier on, when she picked up the bronze

:10:27. > :10:38.medal. Can Lotta Schelin truck strike gold here tonight?

:10:39. > :10:42.Popp is the target, finds Behringer, it pains around the area again.

:10:43. > :10:53.Here's Marozsan. In many ways, that sums up Germany's

:10:54. > :10:55.first half. Sweden, like they have in the last two games, are

:10:56. > :11:09.frustrating a very good German side. Sweden lost to Germany in three

:11:10. > :11:11.successive Olympic Games, including the bronze medal game in Athens in

:11:12. > :11:25.2004. Every time these two nations seem to

:11:26. > :11:29.play, with the exception of the World Cup game last year, it's

:11:30. > :11:34.usually tight, it's usually one goal either side. Yes, you are right,

:11:35. > :11:37.they know each other so well. Both real heavyweights in women's

:11:38. > :11:52.football. It's normally a closely tied game.

:11:53. > :11:56.Germany will look back on some very good chances in the first half.

:11:57. > :12:06.Here's Behringer. Managing to wriggle through. In the end,

:12:07. > :12:14.Marozsan, with a real slice, Kemme, unable to keep the ball in play. I

:12:15. > :12:18.wonder if Marozsan has still got a bit of a niggling injury, because

:12:19. > :12:22.she's not been herself in the first half. She's not on form because she

:12:23. > :12:26.can take a game apart all by herself and she's not doing that. No, she's

:12:27. > :12:45.not at all. Marozsan's touch does find Dabritz.

:12:46. > :12:52.I think it was initially deflected and Lindahl taking no chances. She

:12:53. > :12:55.is high in confidence after that goal in the semifinal. It took a

:12:56. > :12:56.deflection. It was probably going wide, but Lindahl doesn't want to

:12:57. > :13:15.take any chances. It's a packed six yard area once

:13:16. > :13:22.again. Marozsan's delivery, Lindahl was nowhere. There is Popp. Mittag

:13:23. > :13:29.unable to control. The Swedish fans will be satisfied

:13:30. > :13:41.so far. I think although they've sat back

:13:42. > :13:44.and defended when they've needed to, I do think they've showed a bit more

:13:45. > :13:48.purpose and committed a few more players forward when they've gone

:13:49. > :13:54.forward. More so in the last couple of games. This is more the Germany

:13:55. > :13:59.we saw in the group stage. Rather than the team who were very good

:14:00. > :14:03.against both China and Canada. Yes. Yes, they were excellent in the last

:14:04. > :14:07.two games, especially against Canada, who were the inform team and

:14:08. > :14:15.they showed just what they were about to. Tonight, they look a bit

:14:16. > :14:17.frustrated. Credit to Sweden. Fischer will take the free kick. The

:14:18. > :14:47.final moments of the first half. But even when Jakobsson doesn't win

:14:48. > :14:53.the ball she's a real nuisance. He is Popp, put the ball down superbly.

:14:54. > :14:56.Mittag is running for -- looking for runners from midfield. Cut out well

:14:57. > :15:18.by Rubensson. Now Bartusiak, and there goes the

:15:19. > :15:22.half-time whistle. So an attritional first half at times, Germany with

:15:23. > :15:26.the better chances, but Sweden continue to frustrate the bigger

:15:27. > :15:49.names. Half-time, it's Sweden nil, Germany nil.

:15:50. > :15:55.We're going to take some commentary of the modern pentathlon now. To

:15:56. > :15:56.explain it all, Steph Cook, Olympic champion in 2000, alongside Eleanor

:15:57. > :16:05.Oldroyd. COMMENTATOR: We have seen the riding

:16:06. > :16:09.and the swimming and the pentathlon comes down to this, the combined

:16:10. > :16:14.running and shooting, after the show-jumping as well. You can see

:16:15. > :16:18.the combined leader. Oktawia Nowacka. Steph Cook, explain what

:16:19. > :16:23.they have to do. This is a combination of running and shooting,

:16:24. > :16:26.a bit like the skiing biathlon. There is a staggered start,

:16:27. > :16:30.calculated on the basis of the results after the previous events,

:16:31. > :16:36.with the leader setting off on zero, and they run a total of 3200 metres,

:16:37. > :16:39.consisting of 800 metres loops, interspersed by four shooting

:16:40. > :16:42.series. They ran a short distance initially onto the shooting range

:16:43. > :16:46.and then had their burst shooting series. Shooting is laser pistol

:16:47. > :16:50.shooting over a distance of ten metres and the athletes have to hit

:16:51. > :16:56.the target clean five times, registering a green light. They have

:16:57. > :17:00.unlimited shots to be able to do it or after 50 seconds, the converted

:17:01. > :17:04.automatically moves on. You can see the lights appearing next to the

:17:05. > :17:07.athletes and the numbers, the targets they are trying to hit and

:17:08. > :17:11.when you see a green light, it means a clean hit and when you see a red

:17:12. > :17:15.light, it means they have not managed to hit their target, so they

:17:16. > :17:20.go through very quickly. I can tell you that Kate French had a very good

:17:21. > :17:23.start, starting in ninth place, and Samantha Murray, silver medallist

:17:24. > :17:28.from London, started in 18th and remember that we have never yet had

:17:29. > :17:32.a women's modern pentathlon at the Olympics in which there has not been

:17:33. > :17:36.a British athlete on the podium. Steph Cook started it in Sydney in

:17:37. > :17:40.2000 with the gold medal and Kate Allenby with the bronze medal and

:17:41. > :17:43.they are running around a course which, if you were with us earlier

:17:44. > :17:46.for the show-jumping, you will recognise, it is all in the same

:17:47. > :17:52.stadium. They are running in a loop around the stadium and then each one

:17:53. > :17:57.will run into the shooting range. One round shooting has already

:17:58. > :18:01.happened and that is Oktawia Nowacka of Poland, and the athlete behind is

:18:02. > :18:05.Elodie Clouvel of France, who is a very strong swimmer but crucially

:18:06. > :18:10.for her, she has had problems in the riding before and she had a great

:18:11. > :18:15.round in the riding. We will be very interested to see how she gets on.

:18:16. > :18:22.We think she could be one the favourites, Steph? Absolutely. We

:18:23. > :18:25.have seen the distance some of the athletes, Chloe Esposito from

:18:26. > :18:31.Australia had already moved up a couple of places as well. This

:18:32. > :18:34.really is going to be tight. I think Elodie Clouvel has perhaps gained a

:18:35. > :18:42.few seconds already on Oktawia Nowacka. Yes, the points you get

:18:43. > :18:46.during the day are converted directly into seconds. We will see

:18:47. > :18:52.Oktawia Nowacka coming to the shooting range. This is a laser

:18:53. > :18:57.pistol, ten metres, and she is taking aim now. This is her second

:18:58. > :19:04.series of shooting. She has shot clean now, four, just one remaining

:19:05. > :19:09.and she is out. Elodie Clouvel has missed a few so she is feeling the

:19:10. > :19:12.pressure now. Yes, when you are feeling the pressure, when you see

:19:13. > :19:15.the leader going in and then out again and you are still on the

:19:16. > :19:18.shooting range and you can see the other athlete coming behind you, to

:19:19. > :19:23.try to start their shooting series as well, including Melanie McCann of

:19:24. > :19:29.Canada and Chloe Esposito of Australia but Elodie Clouvel is out

:19:30. > :19:33.and threw underway. We can see Chloe is shooting very well, so leaving

:19:34. > :19:37.the range and about the same time as McGann. Let's keep an eye on Kate

:19:38. > :19:42.French, she has missed one but got tee targets hit now. They have to

:19:43. > :19:50.hit five. It is taking her some time to get the third one up on a Kate

:19:51. > :19:51.French. And four. And she has hit her fifth target so she goes out

:19:52. > :20:02.onto the course now. Samantha Murray has had a

:20:03. > :20:07.disappointing day. She had a difficult time yesterday on the

:20:08. > :20:13.fencing ranking round, pulled it up on the fencing today. But her ride

:20:14. > :20:19.was maybe not perfect for her. She is a bit behind at the moment. We

:20:20. > :20:23.can see Oktawia Nowacka in the lead, has really opened up a gap on Elodie

:20:24. > :20:30.Clouvel after her poor shooting in the last series. We can also see

:20:31. > :20:35.beyond her, Chloe Esposito just coming into the picture, and she has

:20:36. > :20:39.moved up into third place as well. Chloe Esposito having a great

:20:40. > :20:46.competition. Chen has also overtaken McCann. Chen in fourth and Melanie

:20:47. > :20:49.McCann in fifth. So much can change so quickly because if you get

:20:50. > :20:54.nervous and your hands starts to shake you have to be able to have

:20:55. > :20:57.that endurance, as we said like the biathlon in skiing, to be able to

:20:58. > :21:01.control your breathing and your nerves and be able to hit the

:21:02. > :21:04.target. The athletes are running out. You will remember if you watch

:21:05. > :21:07.this at London when Samantha Murray got the silver medal for Great

:21:08. > :21:11.Britain, it was quite a hilly course, they ran out and up into

:21:12. > :21:15.Greenwich park and then came back but this is on a continuous loop.

:21:16. > :21:19.We're just seeing some of the athletes crossing through the centre

:21:20. > :21:22.of the stadium, there are, and Kate French closing down the athletes in

:21:23. > :21:28.front of her, so Kate French is moving into sixth place now. Oktawia

:21:29. > :21:33.Nowacka leading at the moment, Elodie Clouvel second and Melanie

:21:34. > :21:41.McCann of Canada in third. Second lap of four at the moment. Chilliest

:21:42. > :21:44.veto is in third with Chen in fourth and Melanie McCann in fifth and we

:21:45. > :21:50.can see Kate French in the distant in sixth. -- Chloe Esposito.

:21:51. > :21:54.Octavian Wacker now, she has had a foot injury earlier this year so

:21:55. > :21:58.some doubt as to whether she will be able to keep the speed up because

:21:59. > :22:01.you have to do it quickly and cleanly but you look at the gap

:22:02. > :22:05.behind her and it is a long time until the second placed athlete

:22:06. > :22:10.comes in behind Oktawia Nowacka of Poland. At the moment, she is trying

:22:11. > :22:17.to hit that target and not quite getting there, but two down now.

:22:18. > :22:20.Three. It is so hard for the athletes to keep their composure on

:22:21. > :22:23.the range, once you have been running, your heart rate and

:22:24. > :22:27.breathing is up but she is out clean before Elodie Clouvel has really got

:22:28. > :22:30.a shot away. From the distance, Chloe Esposito, a really good

:22:31. > :22:36.shooter, she has shot for Australia in the past as well. Chloe Esposito,

:22:37. > :22:40.third onto the shooting range as it stands, followed by Chen of China.

:22:41. > :22:51.Esposito is out ahead of Elodie Clouvel. McCann on the range along

:22:52. > :22:55.with French. Out in the lead, Oktawia Nowacka from Poland. Looking

:22:56. > :22:59.at the green lights going for Kate French now, let's see how she gets

:23:00. > :23:07.on, how quickly she can get back out onto the course. Five shots down and

:23:08. > :23:16.15 seconds behind now. Good shooting from Kate. We are watching Esposito

:23:17. > :23:21.moving up the field now. You can see her out on the course at the moment.

:23:22. > :23:25.But still at the moment, it is Poland out ahead of the rest of the

:23:26. > :23:32.field, Oktawia Nowacka has been looking very good, very comfortable

:23:33. > :23:46.out there on the range. You can see the name of the Olympic champion

:23:47. > :23:51.appearing, Laura Asadauskaite, she had eight troubled time with the

:23:52. > :23:55.riding. Esposito is the one to watch. Oktawia Nowacka still the

:23:56. > :23:59.leader and look at the gap to the athletes behind her. There's

:24:00. > :24:05.Esposito. With Elodie Clouvel closely following her. And a bit

:24:06. > :24:11.further back, Chen. A few movements further down the field. Elena

:24:12. > :24:17.Potapenko has moved up. She is in fifth place now. Kate French is in

:24:18. > :24:23.sixth. There we see the second placed Esposito closely pursued by

:24:24. > :24:29.Elodie Clouvel. Elodie Clouvel in third place at the moment, in the

:24:30. > :24:33.bronze medal position. Melanie McCann not going so well, moving

:24:34. > :24:38.backwards and Kate French, twice on the heels of Elena Potapenko. You

:24:39. > :24:45.may see further down the field behind but it is still Oktawia

:24:46. > :24:48.Nowacka for Poland. It is her first Olympic Games. She was fifth at the

:24:49. > :24:52.European Championships last year which took place at Bath University,

:24:53. > :24:56.the centre of excellence for Team GB. They are just moving around

:24:57. > :25:02.again and shortly, we will see them go into the shooting range. At the

:25:03. > :25:06.moment, Oktawia Nowacka looks very cool and calm. She has not been put

:25:07. > :25:10.under much pressure yet but Esposito and Elodie Clouvel are beginning to

:25:11. > :25:15.close the gap on her now. She is going into the shooting range now.

:25:16. > :25:20.I'm not sure if that is a smile or a grimace on her face. Let's see how

:25:21. > :25:27.she gets on as she comes in. Let our one is her position on the range. --

:25:28. > :25:36.are one. This is the final shooting element. We knew Esposito was a good

:25:37. > :25:39.shot and a good runner. We knew that Oktawia Nowacka has had problems

:25:40. > :25:43.with her foot in the last season and not been able to train to the same

:25:44. > :25:47.degree that she should be able to but the question is, can she hold

:25:48. > :25:52.on? But Esposito 's outburst, out of the shooting range in the gold medal

:25:53. > :25:56.position. She's got to run like the clappers now, 800 metres still to go

:25:57. > :26:01.but Chloe Esposito is looking very good and now does Oktawia Nowacka

:26:02. > :26:05.leave the shooting range. She's had an absolute nightmare in the final

:26:06. > :26:10.stage. We are looking now at Chloe Esposito and there is Elodie Clouvel

:26:11. > :26:14.and Oktawia Nowacka and these two are pretty much battling for the

:26:15. > :26:18.medals now. You could see Kate French and Samantha Murray on the

:26:19. > :26:22.range. Elodie Clouvel, as Oktawia Nowacka really starts to fade away

:26:23. > :26:26.now but Elodie Clouvel is such a strong all-round pentathlete.

:26:27. > :26:29.Absolutely, she really is, she really deserves it, she has such a

:26:30. > :26:33.strong shoot, I don't think anyone is going to catch her now. You can

:26:34. > :26:37.see them lapping some of these low athletes, still on their previous

:26:38. > :26:40.lab at Elodie Clouvel has now overtaken Octavian Wacker in the

:26:41. > :26:44.distance. She has gone into the silver medal position but still

:26:45. > :26:48.Esposito out in front in the gold medal position. You can see the

:26:49. > :26:52.photographers gathering now to watch Chloe Esposito. She has had a great

:26:53. > :26:58.competition here. She has been solid all the way. Look at her, she is

:26:59. > :27:05.looking up at the screen, to try to spot the other pentathletes behind

:27:06. > :27:08.her. We think this may well be the Olympic champion, looking out on the

:27:09. > :27:11.course now, she's running diagonally across. You can see the fencing

:27:12. > :27:14.piece behind which is where it happened earlier today, the bonus

:27:15. > :27:19.round but what a battle for the other medal positions. You can see

:27:20. > :27:25.the real battle is going on for silver and bronze at the moment

:27:26. > :27:30.between Elodie Clouvel, Oktawia Nowacka. They are just running

:27:31. > :27:33.diagonally across the field of play at the moment and we are looking

:27:34. > :27:37.out, you can see all the athletes just running around in this loop, as

:27:38. > :27:44.they go through and round and diagonally across. But we are

:27:45. > :27:47.watching Chloe Esposito, here. Esposito still looking good for gold

:27:48. > :27:53.at the moment and Elodie Clouvel has opened up a gap on Octavian Wacker,

:27:54. > :27:56.you can still see behind. Here comes Chloe Esposito, Australian fans, you

:27:57. > :28:01.can see them leaning over the wall to cheer her on. That is the

:28:02. > :28:05.finishing tape. Australia are going to have an Olympic champion in

:28:06. > :28:11.modern pentathlon. It is Chloe Esposito who is the winner at

:28:12. > :28:16.Deodoro. The question now is who is going to get onto the podium with

:28:17. > :28:20.her? Here comes Elodie Clouvel. She is gritting her teeth. She is going

:28:21. > :28:26.for it, she has crossed the line. She is the silver medallist. And

:28:27. > :28:30.what a brave, brave run by Oktawia Nowacka, who had a foot injury

:28:31. > :28:35.earlier this season. She finishes in third place. Those are the medal

:28:36. > :28:39.positions. For Team GB, not a medal this time but you can just see Kate

:28:40. > :28:43.French now, running towards the line and I think she is going to be

:28:44. > :28:49.finishing in sixth place. Kate French crosses the finishing line

:28:50. > :28:55.and well done to her. So, that run which began back in 2000 has not

:28:56. > :29:00.been continued and Samantha Murray has had a great finish, a great

:29:01. > :29:03.combined event, she has run up and she will definitely have improved

:29:04. > :29:10.her position from the start but it is going to be gold for Chloe

:29:11. > :29:17.Esposito of Australia and silver for France and it will be bronze for

:29:18. > :29:20.Poland. But for the first time since 2000, there will not be a British

:29:21. > :29:26.pentathlete on the top of the podium. The men will go tomorrow and

:29:27. > :29:32.that will feature Jamie Cooke, the world number one this season. So we

:29:33. > :29:38.will look forward very much to bringing you that but it is gold for

:29:39. > :29:41.Australia, silver for France, and bronze for Poland. We will bring you

:29:42. > :29:47.the other positions as soon as we can. Just trying to work out the

:29:48. > :29:51.finishing positions. As you can imagine, this is quite complicated

:29:52. > :29:54.to watch but I think it looks like sixth place for Kate French and

:29:55. > :30:04.Samantha Murray is up to ninth position. No medal for Samantha

:30:05. > :30:08.Murray list but congratulations to Chloe Esposito of Australia. What

:30:09. > :30:13.did you have to do? She did a fantastic job, Esposito, running up

:30:14. > :30:16.from seventh, where she started. She really did, she put herself into the

:30:17. > :30:20.mix going into the combined event, which is really one of her

:30:21. > :30:25.strongest. She is a great shot. She is a good runner. She just did what

:30:26. > :30:32.she had to do. She kept a cool head on the shooting range. You know, she

:30:33. > :30:35.just built on that through every shooting series. She was always

:30:36. > :30:45.closing on the leaders. At the end of the day,, it was a great result

:30:46. > :30:48.for Australia. Chloe Esposito, at her second Olympic Games, she

:30:49. > :30:53.finished seventh in London but she has won the gold medal here today.

:30:54. > :30:57.But two British pentathletes in the top ten, clearly they have high

:30:58. > :31:00.expectations at the University of Bath, they want athletes on the

:31:01. > :31:04.podium but well done to Kate French and Samantha Murray, both finishing

:31:05. > :31:05.in the top ten here and we will be back at Deodoro tomorrow for the

:31:06. > :31:10.men's modern pentathlon. names. Half-time, it's Sweden nil,

:31:11. > :31:17.Germany nil. Thank you for talking is through

:31:18. > :31:20.that, Kate French and Samantha Murray finishing in the top ten, a

:31:21. > :31:23.great finish to the modern pentathlon there. Let's show you

:31:24. > :31:29.what is happening elsewhere at the moment. Real drama on BBC One. It's

:31:30. > :31:34.going into extra time, because, well, it will be unless anybody

:31:35. > :31:43.scores, Netherlands against Team GB, 3-3, what a game on BBC One. That's

:31:44. > :31:47.the gold medal match for you as a reminder, if you'd like to see that,

:31:48. > :31:51.you can flick over onto BBC One for that. There's plenty more available

:31:52. > :31:56.on the Red Button. On the beach at the moment we have some live book

:31:57. > :31:59.reading. You see, you doubted we were telling you the truth

:32:00. > :32:04.yesterday, but there it is, people do like to read a book and canoodle

:32:05. > :32:15.at the same time on Copacabana. The new # is Copaca dash book club. We

:32:16. > :32:21.were telling you the truth all along. Let's get back to the

:32:22. > :32:24.football, the gold medal match in the Maracana, they're into the

:32:25. > :32:28.second half, they've just started the second half, Sweden against

:32:29. > :32:33.Germany. Sue Smith and Nigel Adderley are your commentary team.

:32:34. > :32:36.Sweden do like a penalty shoot out. What will be the conclusion to this

:32:37. > :32:39.one? COMMENTATOR:

:32:40. > :32:47.Sweden would quite happily take a penalty shoot-out again if it meant

:32:48. > :32:57.them taking the gold medal. Marozsan! And Germany finally come

:32:58. > :33:03.out with a moment of quality! And it could be a gold medal moment! We

:33:04. > :33:06.said it would be won by either a mistake are moment of absolute

:33:07. > :33:10.brilliance and that was brilliant from Marozsan. The first half she

:33:11. > :33:13.was really quiet, she wasn't really in the game, I wondered if she was

:33:14. > :33:18.struggling with her injury but this is brilliant. It curls into the top

:33:19. > :33:24.corner. I don't think Lindahl had any chance with that whatsoever. A

:33:25. > :33:28.really good Germany move, it was a plain 1- to touch, Feltham are some

:33:29. > :33:34.of that's what you need, a little bit of quality to get the game going

:33:35. > :33:38.-- it felt to Marozsan. Jennifer Mahrez and always has that in her

:33:39. > :33:41.locker although it did take a slight deflection off Samuelsson but I

:33:42. > :33:53.wonder if Lindahl would have got there anyway. Her first goal in the

:33:54. > :33:58.Olympic Games -- Dzsenifer Marozsan. And now Sweden will have to come out

:33:59. > :34:02.and play, but are they good enough? It will be a more interesting game

:34:03. > :34:06.now, Sweden straightaway drop back into that 4th-5- one formation again

:34:07. > :34:11.but they will have to come out and give it a go. They created chances

:34:12. > :34:14.in the first half, so if they stick with the same structure and get

:34:15. > :34:21.those chances, they have to be clinical. They do have the pace of

:34:22. > :34:29.Stena Blackstenius, who scored against the Americans on the bench.

:34:30. > :34:32.But now Germany will be quite happy to slow things down, even at this

:34:33. > :34:45.stage. Marozsan, who scored the winning

:34:46. > :34:52.goal, when these two sides met in the semifinals of Euro 2013, has

:34:53. > :34:56.come up with arguably an even more important goal here, Germany have

:34:57. > :34:59.never won Olympic gold. They've won everything else. But is tonight the

:35:00. > :35:08.night when they finally complete the set?

:35:09. > :35:22.And one of the reasons Sweden opted for a more defensive approach

:35:23. > :35:27.towards the latter end of the competition was the way they found

:35:28. > :35:31.it difficult to be expansive during that 5-1 defeat against Brazil. But

:35:32. > :35:37.it's now or never. They have to go for it now. Germany will slow the

:35:38. > :35:43.game down they will pass the ball around the back, make Sweden come

:35:44. > :35:47.out and then they'll attack with precision and pace. Rubensson shown

:35:48. > :35:52.the yellow card for the challenge on Leonie Maier. She landed very nicely

:35:53. > :36:06.there. You can see straightaway the physio

:36:07. > :36:14.come on. It was a yellow card. Sweden here will have to regroup. A

:36:15. > :36:21.quick shot there of Caroline Seger talking to Sam Brownson Pearson

:36:22. > :36:33.Haga, already these asked deep in conversation with laughter. Sylvia

:36:34. > :36:40.Knight will be replaced by Steffi Jones, another legend of football,

:36:41. > :37:03.could be going out as a winner. Germany already sending a second

:37:04. > :37:11.goal. -- already sensing a second goal. It could be the start of a

:37:12. > :37:20.very special weekend for German football. There is the possibility

:37:21. > :37:27.of an Olympic gold doubles, with their men taking on Brazil tomorrow

:37:28. > :37:30.evening in that final. And that would be three wins out of three in

:37:31. > :37:39.the Maracana, when it really matters.

:37:40. > :37:50.And how soon do you think they will look to make a change? We usually

:37:51. > :37:58.say 60-65 minutes. I'm sure she'll be looking up for Blackstenius to

:37:59. > :38:03.come on, Jakobsson has done so much running but I would keep her on for

:38:04. > :38:08.her pace. I'd bring her on, will she change her formation? She will have

:38:09. > :38:13.to do something, maybe two up top. But I think she'll wait a little

:38:14. > :38:21.bit, see if this can work, see if they can create an opening. Marozsan

:38:22. > :38:31.has now given the ball away. Here is scoffed, asking an awful lot of

:38:32. > :38:32.Jakobsson. Schult sweeping up. -- here is Schough, asking an awful lot

:38:33. > :38:46.of Jakobsson. She has just joined Lyon in France,

:38:47. > :38:47.a big transfer from Frankfurt, moving from one former Champions

:38:48. > :39:04.League winner to another. There's no doubt the quality has

:39:05. > :39:08.improved in the English WSL in recent years, but the Germans and

:39:09. > :39:12.the French are still some way ahead when you look at the Champions

:39:13. > :39:16.League. Yes and it will be interesting to see when the WSL has

:39:17. > :39:19.been going for more years when we can compete with the likes of the

:39:20. > :39:24.German and French teams because we are getting better every year and

:39:25. > :39:27.more competitive and you can see a lot of now international players

:39:28. > :39:31.want to come and play in this league because it's such a great league to

:39:32. > :39:40.play in. Manchester City's Kosovare Asllani has just conceded the corner

:39:41. > :39:49.and of course we have Chelsea's Hedvig Lindahl in the Swedish goal.

:39:50. > :39:58.Behringer 's corner, Lindahl stays then gathers from Arsenal's

:39:59. > :39:59.Josephine Henning is on the bench. Could be returning with a gold medal

:40:00. > :40:17.around her neck. Krahn just swatting Jakobsson aside.

:40:18. > :40:22.Anything in front of Krahn and Artesia, they just deal with it.

:40:23. > :40:31.Here is the change, straightaway. Jakobsson replaced by Blackstenius.

:40:32. > :40:37.She didn't wait 60 minutes, did she? She's gone for it early on. A

:40:38. > :40:42.similar player to Jakobsson. She will parry and she's also got that

:40:43. > :40:48.pace and power to getting beyond the German defence. And can finish. She

:40:49. > :40:54.scored a wonderful goal on the breakaway against the USA to briefly

:40:55. > :40:58.give Sweden the lead in that game. Before they eventually came through

:40:59. > :41:04.on penalties. Blackstenius started the match in this stadium against

:41:05. > :41:08.Brazil in the semifinal, run herself into the ground, then Jakobsson

:41:09. > :41:13.replaced her, so you can see the thinking. Yes, I think so, and it's

:41:14. > :41:17.such a hard, difficult job when you're playing that soul number

:41:18. > :41:21.nine, very isolated. You do a lot of running. So to have another player

:41:22. > :41:29.to bring on with similar qualities is quite a luxury.

:41:30. > :41:36.Seager has been found again, Blackstenius waiting in the centre.

:41:37. > :41:43.Possibilities for Sweden. Blocked by a combination of Bartusiak and Kemme

:41:44. > :41:48.and it's a Sweden corner. Could Sweden have done that quickly? I'd

:41:49. > :41:54.like to that ball whipped in. Could she play the ball now and then the

:41:55. > :41:57.other option is the far post runner allowed Germany to get back in

:41:58. > :42:07.numbers and crowd the Swedish attack out. That was better from the

:42:08. > :42:15.Swedish team. Of course, she has an Olympic title defend -- an Olympic

:42:16. > :42:25.title to defend having led the USA to medals in Beijing and London.

:42:26. > :42:31.Deliver -- the delivery of the corner has never been quite right in

:42:32. > :42:35.this game. Beans on to it by Krahn. You are right, the quality has been

:42:36. > :42:39.lacking in set pieces. There are players in the Swedish side that can

:42:40. > :42:42.punish Germany from a set piece, like Fischer, Schelin, but the

:42:43. > :42:49.delivery hasn't been good enough quality. Here is Schelin, once again

:42:50. > :42:56.the ball just rearing up to flick the player's hand.

:42:57. > :43:24.Sweden have not beaten Germany in a competitive game in a major

:43:25. > :43:36.tournament since 1995. That was in the World Cup and it's so long ago.

:43:37. > :43:48.There was a 3-2 win for Sweden. Their three previous meetings in the

:43:49. > :43:59.Olympics, Germany have always been successful. It started in the MCG in

:44:00. > :44:06.2000, when Germany won by 1-0. One of our pundits scored the only goal

:44:07. > :44:11.that day. That was the German team which saw winning almost as a right.

:44:12. > :44:15.Yes, yes, I was on the end of a few losses against that team and you

:44:16. > :44:19.wonder, do they have that psychological advantage over the

:44:20. > :44:21.teams you haven't beaten for so long and then you go a goal down. You

:44:22. > :44:34.think, here we go again. I think Germany have lost the fear

:44:35. > :44:37.factor in recent years. England beat them in the World Cup. They failed

:44:38. > :44:43.to qualify for the Olympics. They were poor in their own World Cup so

:44:44. > :44:47.they aren't what they were, but they're still very good. They are,

:44:48. > :44:51.yes. Teams are probably catching up with them slightly. But they are

:44:52. > :45:00.very good on their day. Here's Mittag.

:45:01. > :45:08.It's difficult for Sweden to completely change their mind set

:45:09. > :45:12.here. They need to chase the game, but I'm sure at this stage the

:45:13. > :45:16.manager will be wary of a second goal which could finish things.

:45:17. > :45:23.Here's Marozsan, just behind Popp, but now Dabritz, it was Seager back

:45:24. > :45:31.there with a chalice. Now Dabritz the caught by Schelin. It's a free

:45:32. > :45:35.kick to Germany in what could be a very dangerous area. Yes, it was a

:45:36. > :45:41.free kick, but you could see Dabritz, when she gets the ball, she

:45:42. > :45:45.wants to come in field and have a strike at goal. Sweden just seem to

:45:46. > :45:47.be able to crowd her out but she has won her team a free kick in a very

:45:48. > :46:01.dangerous position. The referee making sure the wall

:46:02. > :46:14.gets back. Germany are half an hour away from a first gold medal in

:46:15. > :46:18.women's football. Silvia Neid, their coach, ended her international

:46:19. > :46:20.career at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. That was the first women's

:46:21. > :46:34.tournament. It is Marais and again and Hedvig

:46:35. > :46:41.Lindahl, oh, it is an own goal! -- Marizanne Kapp Gent. Linda Sembrant

:46:42. > :46:50.may have gifted Germany the gold medal! Absolutely gutted for her but

:46:51. > :46:53.what a free kick again, I spoke in the first half about Dzsenifer

:46:54. > :46:56.Marozsan and said she has not really been in the game or created any

:46:57. > :47:00.thing but as the ball was whipped in, hit the post, Linda Sembrant is

:47:01. > :47:04.running back in to try to clear it and her knee goes in, she could see

:47:05. > :47:10.straightaway. She has to try and forget that. Well, it is a moment

:47:11. > :47:20.she may take a long time to forget. Delightful Silvia Neid. And it is a

:47:21. > :47:29.long, long way back for Sweden now. Linda Sembrant, the former Lincoln

:47:30. > :47:34.Ladies player, may have just clinched the gold medal for Germany.

:47:35. > :47:42.You have to feel for her, for that to happen in any game but for it to

:47:43. > :47:46.happen in an Olympic final. But it was a good free kick from Marozsan

:47:47. > :47:50.initially to set it up and as a defender, you are going to try to

:47:51. > :48:00.clean your lines and it just hit her on the knee. -- clear your lines.

:48:01. > :48:10.What a time to come up with something like that. Our Sweden

:48:11. > :48:16.about to lose to Germany yet again? This would be ten successive defeats

:48:17. > :48:25.in competitive action. Daebritz. Poppy Matt's touch. Marozsan,

:48:26. > :48:33.blocked by Linda Sembrant. This time, she got the ball away. Seger.

:48:34. > :48:39.Sweden have got to go for broke, now. They do and you can see Germany

:48:40. > :48:43.getting another if they do that, much better from Germany, they are

:48:44. > :48:55.keeping the ball, passing it. Once the goal went in, you could see

:48:56. > :48:58.there was a bit of belief in there. With a deflection and an own goal,

:48:59. > :49:07.Germany have been put on course for the gold medal. Leupolz. Plays the

:49:08. > :49:15.one-two with Mittag. The body language of the Swedes at

:49:16. > :49:33.the moment does not look good. Maier. Marozsan. Crowded out this

:49:34. > :49:37.time. Schelin. She will keep fighting but she has given the ball

:49:38. > :49:47.away to Maier. Leupolz. Berenger. Daebritz. Daebritz has done well to

:49:48. > :49:56.win it back. Maier! Linda Sembrant recovers once again. Like a right

:49:57. > :50:00.midfielder most of the time. She is the one of their creating and

:50:01. > :50:06.overlapping whether it is an overlapping run or an under lapping

:50:07. > :50:14.run, a very good full-back. It is her throw in. And now Seger. Almost

:50:15. > :50:25.turning into trouble. She does. Berenger. Marozsan. At Alexandra

:50:26. > :50:29.Popp was underneath that and she got right underneath it. Good play from

:50:30. > :50:34.Germany again. It seems like they have got an extra gear that they can

:50:35. > :50:40.go up and they are certainly at that level now and this is a good ball

:50:41. > :50:44.in. You can see straightaway Alexandra Popp is looking at if she

:50:45. > :50:47.is offside, she's looking at the officials but she wasn't and

:50:48. > :50:56.probably should have done better that one. Linda Sembrant, Asllani.

:50:57. > :51:06.Sweden really need their attacking players to step up now. Rubensson.

:51:07. > :51:15.There are only 18 player squads in the women's competition, so not a

:51:16. > :51:20.huge amount of options available to any coach. We briefly saw Pia

:51:21. > :51:27.Sundhage on the edge of the technical area, there, and she will

:51:28. > :51:33.be making a change soon. Asllani. Dahlkvist makes the run ahead of

:51:34. > :51:42.her. But they are back in the game straightaway! Wow, game on. The

:51:43. > :51:46.first half, not the greatest game to watch and the second half, it has

:51:47. > :51:49.been excellent. Germany taking the lead and you think that is it, they

:51:50. > :51:54.have won the game and 2-0 but this is good play, Asllani building play,

:51:55. > :51:57.playing it out wide and a first-time ball in but this is just burst to

:51:58. > :52:02.the ball, Blackstenius has the desire to get on the end of it. She

:52:03. > :52:07.steers it passed short in the goal. Good play from Sweden and we spoke

:52:08. > :52:11.about how they can hit on the counter and when they hit at pace,

:52:12. > :52:16.when there forwards and midfielders breaking forward, they looked

:52:17. > :52:21.dangerous. Well, that is what it meant to Pia Sundhage and Stina

:52:22. > :52:27.Blackstenius has scored against the USA and Germany in this competition.

:52:28. > :52:34.Very few players can say they have done that in going for the bigger

:52:35. > :52:43.prizes and shall almost gives the ball away. -- Schult. Now there is a

:52:44. > :52:48.long time left for Germany to hold on but here is Marozsan and Leupolz!

:52:49. > :52:55.Lindahl does not deal with it once again initially. But there was a

:52:56. > :52:58.Swedish boot to clear. She just manages to do enough. This is what

:52:59. > :53:03.will happen, the game will open up as Sweden go for the equaliser. Good

:53:04. > :53:09.play, great play from Marozsan. Great save, Lindahl, you would

:53:10. > :53:13.expect her to keep hold of that. And this is the change that was planned

:53:14. > :53:21.before the goal and it is Asllani replaced by Pauline Hammarlund. She

:53:22. > :53:27.only came into the squad due to injuries elsewhere. Lindahl's

:53:28. > :53:36.handling is safe this time. Hammarlund, unsurprisingly, is a

:53:37. > :53:57.striker. Schelin chasing now. You look back on that Sweden goal,

:53:58. > :54:00.how did it happen? She was forward and that is the problem with the

:54:01. > :54:03.German full-backs, it's great when you're attacking, both full-backs

:54:04. > :54:07.getting forward but effectively, if you can exploit them, that is where

:54:08. > :54:10.you will get your goal. That is what Sweden were doing in the first after

:54:11. > :54:17.they have managed to get the goal in the second half. -- first half and

:54:18. > :54:24.they have managed. This is a case for Popp and Fischer has to be

:54:25. > :54:30.careful. -- a chase. She could have sealed it, there. She could and

:54:31. > :54:33.should have sealed it, Lindahl fearful of coming off the line and I

:54:34. > :54:37.was wondering why she did not come to collect. Popp uses her place to

:54:38. > :54:44.get in behind and you can see what she is trying to do. -- her pace.

:54:45. > :54:56.Relief for her. She knows it is they left. -- a let off. Boehringer will

:54:57. > :55:01.not be adding to her tally. Lena Goessling comes on to win her 92nd

:55:02. > :55:05.cap, a player who was the mainstay of the German team for so many but

:55:06. > :55:08.has been out of favour for much of this tournament. That is because of

:55:09. > :55:13.how well Boehringer has been playing. I think she is tired, she

:55:14. > :55:19.has played every game, done so well. -- Behringer. To bring a quality

:55:20. > :55:26.player like Lena Goessling on, that is the strength in depth that

:55:27. > :55:30.Germany have. It brings a response from Pia Sundhage as well. Magdalena

:55:31. > :55:36.Eriksson replacing Rubensson. Eriksson is a full-back who plays in

:55:37. > :55:49.Sweden. We were thinking we may be lucky to

:55:50. > :55:51.see a single goal here tonight and we have had three in less than 20

:55:52. > :56:02.minutes. Germany are still on course for the

:56:03. > :56:06.gold medal. There is plenty of time for Sweden to force extra time.

:56:07. > :56:28.Maier. We spoke before about the slight

:56:29. > :56:37.vulnerability about this current German generation because ten years

:56:38. > :56:41.ago, if Germany were 2-0 up in a final, it finishes 4-0. You are

:56:42. > :56:44.right and they have gone through that transitional period of losing a

:56:45. > :56:47.lot of their top-quality players. They have brought other players

:56:48. > :56:51.through that have stepped up to the mark. Like you say, they don't have

:56:52. > :56:59.that fear factory more, which they used to have. So many years ago. --

:57:00. > :57:03.fear factor any more. Still a very professional team that do know how

:57:04. > :57:09.to win matches. They could win an Olympic gold medal here so they are

:57:10. > :57:13.still very, very good. Linda Sembrant has made a mistake and

:57:14. > :57:19.Mittag goes down! I think she was looking for it. Yes, I think she

:57:20. > :57:23.knew that the ball had gone. Hammarlund on the outside. Schough

:57:24. > :57:50.was maybe caught in two minds. Fischer. The challenge comes in on

:57:51. > :58:02.Schough. Providing the cross will be Sweden goal.

:58:03. > :58:19.Bartusiak striding forward. Leupolz. She was looking for Alexandra Popp.

:58:20. > :58:24.Schelin. Now Blackstenius. Using the ball well again. Schough. Hammarlund

:58:25. > :58:40.had checked her run to stay onside. Goessling will have been brought on

:58:41. > :58:44.to try to calm things down. She did well as Bartusiak went on a little

:58:45. > :58:59.mazy run forward, just sat in unprotected. Leupolz. -- and

:59:00. > :59:13.protected. Seger. Schelin. Daebritz. Samuelsson. Seen by Kemme. Maybe a

:59:14. > :59:20.bit more to street -- a bit more discreet now with her forages

:59:21. > :59:27.forward. Seger. Kemme will have to deal with this. And Schough does

:59:28. > :59:31.well to keep her honest. She does and she is really pushing her back.

:59:32. > :59:34.In the first off, Kemme had so much space, there, she was able to

:59:35. > :59:36.pick-up passes and get forward and there was no pressure defensively.

:59:37. > :59:51.Now, she has got to do her job. Blackstenius, able to make the turn

:59:52. > :00:01.but Kemme stands firm. Mittag. Leupolz.

:00:02. > :00:11.The ball will come straight back. Linda Sembrant. Fischer.

:00:12. > :00:26.The Germans are having to work extremely hard for their gold medal,

:00:27. > :00:30.here. Goessling. Daebritz. Once again, Alexandra Popp is a

:00:31. > :00:52.peripheral figure in the game. They are trying to take the sting

:00:53. > :01:09.out of Sweden. They do well to work the space with

:01:10. > :01:17.Leupolz. Now Marozsan. Maier once again. Lindahl new with Mittag

:01:18. > :01:22.lurking her handling had before cluster, and it was. There were a

:01:23. > :01:28.few German players that wanted that to be a cross, not a shot. She was

:01:29. > :01:36.well in her right to have a go though. Picks her way down the

:01:37. > :01:40.left-hand side. All Germany need to do is keep the ball, keep it moving,

:01:41. > :02:15.make Sweden work, tire them out. It's won back well. We saw Canada

:02:16. > :02:19.have to really cling on grimly leading 2-1 against Brazil to claim

:02:20. > :02:25.the bronze medal earlier. Germany may have to undergo something

:02:26. > :02:34.similar here. Dahlkvist. Didn't see the challenge coming.

:02:35. > :02:46.The Maracana crowd not happy with Germany's attempts to wind down the

:02:47. > :02:56.clock. They fancy another half an hour. Eriksson.

:02:57. > :03:05.Good play by Maier again. She gets the free kick following Seager's

:03:06. > :03:10.challenge. She has played well, Maier. Both defensively and going

:03:11. > :03:16.forward. She's looked a real threat. Most of the time she looks like a

:03:17. > :03:18.right midfielder, but she has that pace and that engine to be able to

:03:19. > :03:50.get back and defend as well. Day -- Dabritz with the challenge

:03:51. > :03:58.from Samuelsson. Can Sweden break? They almost did. It's Goessling

:03:59. > :04:06.again. The ideal player for Germany to have at this stage. Maier, it's

:04:07. > :04:12.driven. A great substitution to bring Goessling on. She just

:04:13. > :04:16.protects the difference when she gets the ball, breaks up play, it's

:04:17. > :04:21.exactly what they need. She has a vision as well. To be able to find a

:04:22. > :04:28.pass like that. It was pretty close to Lindahl's near post. Am not sure

:04:29. > :04:37.she meant that, I think it was a cross. That was a shot earlier on, I

:04:38. > :04:46.think. 21 attempts on goal from Germany but usually there conversion

:04:47. > :04:57.rate is higher than that. Just a bit less than one in three.

:04:58. > :05:04.Sweden have not been able to build on by momentum in the last couple of

:05:05. > :05:23.moments. Krahn. Samuelsson's header only finds

:05:24. > :05:33.Marozsan. The sting was taken out of that by

:05:34. > :05:42.Sembrant. Quickly forward by Lindahl.

:05:43. > :05:51.So the Germans are really finding the gaps in between the ranks of the

:05:52. > :05:59.Swedish defence now. Hammarlund unable to prevent the goal kick.

:06:00. > :06:07.It looks to be a tactical tweet from Pia Sundhage. Going to three up top?

:06:08. > :06:19.It looks like they are. Marozsan. Fischer was able to find

:06:20. > :06:37.her goalkeeper. Blackstenius was wrestling there

:06:38. > :06:43.with Bartusiak but Sweden still have the ball.

:06:44. > :07:02.Germany have been rather untidy at times, but at the moment they are

:07:03. > :07:07.getting the job done. They are and that is all they need to do. But

:07:08. > :07:15.when we looked at the chances that they've had, very rarely see so many

:07:16. > :07:20.chances not on target. They at least make the keeper work. But that is a

:07:21. > :07:26.bit of nerves, they've never won won Olympic gold before. It's the last

:07:27. > :07:33.game in charge, so whether the emotion is getting them slightly.

:07:34. > :07:44.Bartusiak almost breaks to Popp. She was caught by Sembrant, who scored

:07:45. > :07:49.the own goal and now receives a yellow card. It's a free kick in a

:07:50. > :07:55.very similar area to the one which produced the second goal. It is, a

:07:56. > :08:02.very dangerous area. Popp just got that touch, past her. Sembrant knew

:08:03. > :08:20.what she was doing there. There will be a German change first. Dabritz

:08:21. > :08:22.will be replaced by Huth-macro. The Germans may prefer to take the free

:08:23. > :08:44.kick first. Huth was brought into this squad due

:08:45. > :08:49.to an injury. They will have certainly missed that player in this

:08:50. > :08:56.tournament. Marozsan once again with the free kick. Lindahl keeps her

:08:57. > :09:00.team alive. She does, it's a good save from Lindahl. You could see

:09:01. > :09:04.their well works, the German players. It's obviously a training

:09:05. > :09:08.ground move where they run out towards the goal and make a dart,

:09:09. > :09:14.just to try and put the Swedish defenders off. But Lindahl off. But

:09:15. > :09:16.it didn't, she kept composed and managed to put the ball over the

:09:17. > :09:37.top. Goessling's corner. Now Popp. That's given away by Marozsan.

:09:38. > :09:47.Hammarlund making the run down the centre. Blackstenius is also

:09:48. > :09:53.waiting. Here is Seger, still Seger, and the goal kick is given in the

:09:54. > :09:55.end. What a chance for Sweden. Marozsan has been excellent going

:09:56. > :09:59.forward but that's a lapse in concentration. I'm not sure what she

:10:00. > :10:04.was trying to do, whether she was giving it back to her goalkeeper but

:10:05. > :10:10.it was anticipated, they took too long to find the path. She was

:10:11. > :10:14.unsure, do I find the pass, do I'd take a shot, in the end she didn't

:10:15. > :10:19.do either. It's agony for the Sweden fans. They still have five more

:10:20. > :10:34.minutes. No free kick given there. Eriksson

:10:35. > :10:38.shoves over Maier off the ball. Leupolz beaten to it by Sembrant.

:10:39. > :10:52.She's found again by Lindahl. Silvia Neid right on the edge of the

:10:53. > :10:58.technical area, willing her team through.

:10:59. > :11:07.We had a short conversation with Pia Sundhage at the stadium yesterday.

:11:08. > :11:11.Pia Sundhage asks her if she would be playing golf if she is no longer

:11:12. > :11:15.the coach and she said no, I'll be watching your team to find better

:11:16. > :11:28.ways of beating new! That's a great response! It's nice that Sylvia will

:11:29. > :11:32.stay where the team know she's going to move off and be more of a

:11:33. > :11:37.scouting role, so she'll know what type of players that Germany want

:11:38. > :11:48.and need. I'm sure she'll help out Steffi Jones. Here's an opportunity

:11:49. > :11:58.for Sweden. Hammarlund waits in the centre. Here's a great chance to

:11:59. > :12:03.equalise. What a block! It was Schult, denied by Marozsan. What a

:12:04. > :12:09.chance for Sweden, got the pace to get by. Dahlkvist, Schelin once

:12:10. > :12:18.again. Blackstenius was in there. -- it was sent away by Marozsan.

:12:19. > :12:54.Popp is back defending. Bartusiak took a chance there, with

:12:55. > :13:00.Skoff lurking. Fischer may be fortunate to avoid a yellow card

:13:01. > :13:04.here. Good play from Goessling, anticipated when the ball went. She

:13:05. > :13:10.knocked the ball went and she knew Fischer was coming in. She is giving

:13:11. > :13:14.her team a little bit of breathing space. She has been under the cosh

:13:15. > :13:21.for the last few moments. Inside the final two minutes of

:13:22. > :13:43.normal time. Fischer, on the stretch. Popp.

:13:44. > :14:09.Lindahl. Schelin, that's a good challenged by

:14:10. > :14:14.Krahn, but it's a corner. Excellent distribution from Lindahl. As soon

:14:15. > :14:23.as she gets the ball she sets her team away, started that attack. And

:14:24. > :14:41.Germany now hanging on as the Maracana holds its breath.

:14:42. > :14:51.Schough with the corner. Here's Schough again, managing to turn away

:14:52. > :14:59.from Maier but the cross is too deep. She's had a good second half.

:15:00. > :15:07.Lacked the quality to be the player. A little fake, goes inside, goes

:15:08. > :15:12.outside, just overheated slightly. -- she overhit it slightly. Here was

:15:13. > :15:23.the earlier chance, Bartusiak playing Schelin onside. She had the

:15:24. > :15:29.beating their off Krahn. Schough, if she hits that first time, it's 2-2.

:15:30. > :15:36.Yes, it's a goal. Sweden have a corner.

:15:37. > :15:47.Germany, two minutes away from the gold medal.

:15:48. > :16:07.Eriksson is over the corner. Fischer and Linda Sembrant up from the back.

:16:08. > :16:12.Deep again from Eriksson and Linda Sembrant is in there, Schelin!

:16:13. > :16:17.Unable to turn, Blackstenius is in there. Can she done? Germany crowd

:16:18. > :16:23.the box. It was almost a rugby scrum inside the six yard area and

:16:24. > :16:28.somehow, Germany survived. You just couldn't see what was going on. Such

:16:29. > :16:31.a scramble of players, everyone trying to get on the ball, Germany

:16:32. > :16:39.trying to clear but without giving anything away. Hanging on. Sweden

:16:40. > :16:45.throwing everything at this. After a dull first half, it has been a

:16:46. > :16:52.really entertaining second half and Germany now have the chance just to

:16:53. > :17:00.break and eat up the clock but it is given away by Popp. Lindahl's

:17:01. > :17:10.clearance and Blackstenius was on her way, there. Germany managed to

:17:11. > :17:17.deal with the situation. Leupolz. The chance to break beyond Eriksson.

:17:18. > :17:31.Germany have the throwing and they are second away. -- throw in.

:17:32. > :17:43.And that it! -- that is it. For the first time, in Silvia Neid's final

:17:44. > :17:46.game, Germany are Olympic champions! The former world champions, the

:17:47. > :17:57.reigning European champions, finally have the gold medal! 20 years of

:17:58. > :18:04.waiting has finally come to an end. Linda Sembrant's own goal proved to

:18:05. > :18:10.be the difference in the end. And for players like Bartusiak and

:18:11. > :18:14.Krahn, they now have a full set of winner's medals, world champions,

:18:15. > :18:23.European champions and Olympic champions. Silvia Neid goes out as a

:18:24. > :18:29.winner. At full-time, Sweden 1-2 Germany. Sue Smith. You can see

:18:30. > :18:33.exactly what it means to the players. They have been waiting so

:18:34. > :18:37.long for this and it probably was not the tidiest performance that I

:18:38. > :18:40.have ever seen from Germany. You know, they were hanging on in the

:18:41. > :18:46.last few minutes but they got the job done and that is what Germany

:18:47. > :18:52.do. Well, Germany have completed what they will hope is a fantastic

:18:53. > :19:00.double. The men play Brazil tomorrow but the women are Olympic champions.

:19:01. > :19:05.Brilliant stuff, what a wonderful second half as well. Congratulations

:19:06. > :19:08.to Germany. Sweden, I'm sure at the moment they are not thinking about

:19:09. > :19:14.it but they will walk away from these Games with a silver medal but

:19:15. > :19:18.Germany may well add another goal in the men's football final tomorrow

:19:19. > :19:22.when they take on Brazil also in the Maracana. We will bring you that,

:19:23. > :19:29.I'm not sure it will be on BBC Four but it will be somewhere on the BBC

:19:30. > :19:33.for you tomorrow. While you've been away, I understand, I know how

:19:34. > :19:36.things work, I know a lot of you will have been watching Great

:19:37. > :19:39.Britain in the hockey final against the Dutch. If you have come back to

:19:40. > :19:43.us, welcome back, lovely to have you. If you have been watching the

:19:44. > :19:46.whole time, what has happened over in the hockey, we will explain in a

:19:47. > :19:50.moment but it's been a brilliant night for Team GB. Yet another gold

:19:51. > :20:12.medal and I'm sure they will feature in a headlines but before

:20:13. > :20:17.we do on day 14 of The games in Rio, I want to show you the ludicrous red

:20:18. > :20:19.moon out over the Atlantic at Copacabana. Rather incredible. I've

:20:20. > :20:22.been doing some research. The other's shadow is read at the edges

:20:23. > :20:24.for the same reason a sunset is red. When sunlight is gathered by passing

:20:25. > :20:27.through the Earth's atmosphere, the colours of the spectrum are removed.

:20:28. > :20:29.In a solar eclipse, the moon casts its shadow on the other. Does that

:20:30. > :20:32.make any sense? I think it does. This fellow behind me has got the

:20:33. > :20:35.same idea, taking a picture of the red moon. It does not happen often.

:20:36. > :20:38.The guy behind is taking a picture as well. Moon News on BBC Four.

:20:39. > :20:43.Let's have another look. It's incredible. Can somebody ring

:20:44. > :20:48.Professor Brian Cox? If we can't get him, we will have Dara O'Briain.

:20:49. > :20:56.Anyone. Stargazing Live on BBC Four on day 14 at the Olympics and these

:20:57. > :20:59.are your headlines. The first Olympic gold in the

:21:00. > :21:05.women's hockey, it was pre-prion penalties but Team GB's goalkeeper

:21:06. > :21:12.Maddie Hinch was amazing and Hollie Webb was the woman who got the

:21:13. > :21:17.winning penalty. 3-3 in normal time and it went to penalties. You have

:21:18. > :21:20.been watching, you know what I mean. It was tense for Nick Skelton,

:21:21. > :21:25.involved in a six way jump for gold in the individual show-jumping but

:21:26. > :21:32.he did it in his seventh Olympic Games, gold for Nick Skelton. In the

:21:33. > :21:35.taekwondo, we showed you earlier, Lutalo Muhammad is through to the

:21:36. > :21:45.gold medal match, having won bronze four years ago. That takes place at

:21:46. > :21:49.2:15am. There could be another gold medal for Joe Joyce, who is also

:21:50. > :21:53.through to the gold medal match. This is the weight that Anthony

:21:54. > :21:56.Joshua won four years ago, super heavyweight and Joe Joyce loves to

:21:57. > :22:01.celebrate in style. Look at that! You don't see many super

:22:02. > :22:06.heavyweights who can rock that kind of business. I know lots of people

:22:07. > :22:10.tonight have been asking about the diving. We have been showing the

:22:11. > :22:13.bubble final and BBC One have been showing the hockey. Tom Daley has

:22:14. > :22:17.been involved in the preliminary qualification for the ten metre

:22:18. > :22:21.platform diving final which takes place tomorrow. We are going to show

:22:22. > :22:27.you his best dive which came in the fourth round.

:22:28. > :22:36.COMMENTATOR: Tom Daley, top of the leaderboard at the end of round

:22:37. > :22:44.three. He will be hoping it does not go awry for him, forward, for one

:22:45. > :22:49.half somersaults, Tom Daley. Oh, he's in the form of his life! Wholly

:22:50. > :22:59.moly! Well, this feels like the final. It is not the final but this

:23:00. > :23:08.is four out of four, the Tom Daley. Spectacular. Great diving. Look at

:23:09. > :23:13.this. Inspired by the success of the team so far. As Bob mentioned

:23:14. > :23:18.earlier in the competition, I hope he's not using up all of these

:23:19. > :23:26.before tomorrow's final. On fire! Look at that! In this round, there

:23:27. > :23:32.was a 102.6, and Tom Daley has got 103.6. Wow.

:23:33. > :23:36.Brilliant from Tom Daley and we will hear from him in a moment. Just to

:23:37. > :23:40.let you know that his semifinal is that freebie tomorrow UK time and it

:23:41. > :23:46.will be 8:30pm tomorrow for the final if he qualifies. -- is at 3pm

:23:47. > :23:49.tomorrow. Look at all these people taking pictures of the red moon. I

:23:50. > :23:54.feel quite privileged to be at Copacabana now. The moon news is

:23:55. > :23:56.clearly significant. Forget what was happening on the beach yesterday, it

:23:57. > :24:06.is all about the moon. We don't have Brian Cox, the BBC

:24:07. > :24:10.budget does not stretch that far but the sun and the moon are in

:24:11. > :24:14.alignment. This is down, the floor manager and moon specialist. He also

:24:15. > :24:19.has Wikipedia and Google, other search engines are available. He

:24:20. > :24:23.says the Sun and the moon are in alignment and it is the shadow cast

:24:24. > :24:26.on the moon and the particles in the atmosphere turning it red. Let's

:24:27. > :24:31.have one last look because we don't know how long it will last. Look at

:24:32. > :24:36.that. Enjoy it everyone. Get a screenshot. Wait your kids up, tell

:24:37. > :24:40.them something special is happening, or not. Let's hear from Tom Daley,

:24:41. > :24:43.who might be looking at the moon himself somewhere in Rio, he is

:24:44. > :24:48.about an hours drive away in the athletes' village but afterwards,

:24:49. > :24:51.after coming top in his qualification in the preliminaries

:24:52. > :24:55.at the top diver, he had a word with Helen Skelton.

:24:56. > :25:01.You go through to the semifinals top of the pile, how much fun was that?

:25:02. > :25:05.Yeah, I mean, I was saying to Jane, I had so much fun out there today,

:25:06. > :25:08.it's the first time I've gone into competition and everything feels

:25:09. > :25:11.good. I feel like I'm moving well, jumping well and all of the dives

:25:12. > :25:14.are easy and I feel really comfortable with them now. It was a

:25:15. > :25:22.matter of using my eyes and coming out at the right time. I'm really

:25:23. > :25:25.happy with how it went. To get ahead of the Chinese in the preliminary

:25:26. > :25:27.does not often happen. The judges never really give out tens in the

:25:28. > :25:31.prelim either so it is going well and I'm happy with the way it went.

:25:32. > :25:36.It is more than welcome you absolutely smashed it! It is my best

:25:37. > :25:39.score this year I think on par with the one for the European

:25:40. > :25:43.Championships. And this is only the prelim is so I want to maintain it

:25:44. > :25:48.tomorrow morning and then do more of the same tomorrow. You mentioned

:25:49. > :25:51.your coach, Jane and what are your tactics in this? Tee more rounds to

:25:52. > :25:55.go and some people hold something back for the final but how will you

:25:56. > :25:59.back that up? You can't afford to hold anything back because you won't

:26:00. > :26:03.qualify if you do. It's not just about making sure you qualify, you

:26:04. > :26:06.hold something back because you have to qualify first, have to get

:26:07. > :26:10.through each round and if you don't nail your dives, you will end up

:26:11. > :26:13.missing out on the semifinal or the final. The most important thing is

:26:14. > :26:18.taking it round by round and being in the moment. I've never seen so

:26:19. > :26:22.many British people in here but you are expecting a treat after each

:26:23. > :26:25.round, aren't you? Lance, my fiance is meant to be giving a chocolate

:26:26. > :26:30.bar after the prelim and the semifinal and then after the final,

:26:31. > :26:33.depending on if I get through. I'm getting a little treat. I'm waiting

:26:34. > :26:38.for him. I have no idea where he is but we will see if it comes through.

:26:39. > :26:44.There he is! I might get it shut down to me right now. Reigning

:26:45. > :26:49.chocolate bars, just a little one. Lance, have you got my chocolate

:26:50. > :26:58.bar? What is he getting? Oh, he is getting it! Have you got it? My

:26:59. > :27:03.chocolate bar. Enjoy that. I've got my little treat. I will do it that

:27:04. > :27:09.way around. There you go, a little treat. I know, what I've been

:27:10. > :27:13.waiting for. I do that to my dog or my child when they behave.

:27:14. > :27:17.Basically, diving at the Olympics is like training your dog and when he

:27:18. > :27:22.does it well, he gets a treat. It's much more impressive than that!

:27:23. > :27:27.Congratulations. Enjoy. Always nice to get some sweet from

:27:28. > :27:31.your partner, Dustin Lance Black flinging sweeps down to Tom Daley

:27:32. > :27:35.who was very happy. Let's show you what is happening on the BBC for

:27:36. > :27:37.timetable with a bit of BBC One in there because we don't like to

:27:38. > :27:43.ignore the other channel, we celebrate. The men's semifinal in

:27:44. > :27:52.the basketball is coming up shortly after some Copacabinmen, don't go

:27:53. > :27:59.away, something special coming away. And some more of the moon. If you

:28:00. > :28:03.saw Russia against Norway in the handball yesterday, the women's

:28:04. > :28:07.semifinal, we still have to promise to show you the final extra time

:28:08. > :28:11.period of that and we will do that as well and Lutalo Muhammad, 2:15am

:28:12. > :28:18.UK time. We have shown you all of his bouts up until this point. A

:28:19. > :28:23.wonderful character and he takes on Cisse for gold in the taekwondo at

:28:24. > :28:32.2:15am. Would you like to see not just single Copacabinmen but double

:28:33. > :28:36.action. We have the normal crew, Pedro, Donatello, Alejandro Gomez

:28:37. > :28:40.but these guys came passed a moment ago, a rival group, trying to get on

:28:41. > :28:48.the BBC for Copacabinmen inspiration. Now, you will notice,

:28:49. > :28:51.they are not that interested. Yeah they have got full bins and there's

:28:52. > :28:55.some kids playing in front of them as well. No waving. We gave them a

:28:56. > :28:59.shout. They have the red moon but they don't have the friendliness of

:29:00. > :29:06.the regular Copaca-binmen. Here come the real boys, they know what they

:29:07. > :29:11.are doing. We have even slowed it down for you. Slow motion

:29:12. > :29:16.Copaca-binmen, only available on BBC Four. You won't get that on any

:29:17. > :29:19.other channel. Don't even bother switching to BBC One. They have

:29:20. > :29:25.Clare Balding and the hockey but they don't have slow motion be in

:29:26. > :29:33.action like that from two men who are named, not after, but if we had

:29:34. > :29:36.Leonardo... Wait for the wave, if we had Leonardo and Michelangelo, we

:29:37. > :29:39.would have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles men and they are wonderful

:29:40. > :29:48.humans and we love spending the evening with them. -- Teenage Mutant

:29:49. > :29:51.Ninja binmen. I want to show you the moon one more time because it is

:29:52. > :29:56.going Gavin Bradley well. Anthony says, "Loving the talk about the red

:29:57. > :30:01.moon. Was genuinely great TV, somehow, I'm not sure how but it

:30:02. > :30:06.was". Appreciate that. We are trying to be as correct as we possibly

:30:07. > :30:11.could for two idiots who are just using Wikipedia. People are in the

:30:12. > :30:15.same position as ours, I'm sure we went over and asked them about the

:30:16. > :30:19.red moon, they would say the same. We think it is some kind of

:30:20. > :30:21.alignment issue, the sun and the moon in alignment, and the shadow

:30:22. > :30:29.makes the moon look that beautiful colour. Sorry? Dan, our Brian Cox

:30:30. > :30:35.expert says it is not read any more because it is moving and the like is

:30:36. > :30:38.changing. Is that right? Did you see the plane going through the red

:30:39. > :30:43.moon. And the binmen are back as well! It's all happening. All we

:30:44. > :30:47.need... Wrong crew, we don't like them. All we needed Antony Worrall

:30:48. > :30:51.Thompson and things are complete. We will go to the basketball and try to

:30:52. > :30:57.get you an update on Antony Worrall Thompson, if he bothers to up. But

:30:58. > :30:59.let's do, amongst the moon news, Copaca-binmen and everything

:31:00. > :31:03.happening down here tonight, there's lots of sport going on so we are

:31:04. > :31:07.going back to the live sport. A very happy Brazilian over there as well!

:31:08. > :31:14.I think he is looking at the moon, singing at it! That is it, that is

:31:15. > :31:16.the end of the moon speech and we are going to go to the basketball

:31:17. > :31:29.now. This is a semifinal. It's Serbia against Australia, we

:31:30. > :31:34.saw Serbia play team USA earlier on and push them in this tournament but

:31:35. > :31:39.as you can see, Serbia already have a four, sorry, a 12 point lead in

:31:40. > :31:41.the 2nd quarter and we can pick this one up with Mike Carlson and the

:31:42. > :32:10.torso bra. -- Vitor Sobral. COMMENTATOR:

:32:11. > :32:21.26-12. A great job, it's really working for Serbia. He had to get

:32:22. > :32:32.all his body into that one, 20 4-14, four and a half to play. That one is

:32:33. > :32:38.knocked away, he couldn't run down the court. Kalinic was in his way.

:32:39. > :32:45.Return it back over. That one is knocked away by Baynes. Mills sets

:32:46. > :32:56.up for three. And Mrs. Baynes with the rebound, second effort rebound,

:32:57. > :33:01.Ingles 43. Mrs. It's a 3-point shoot, they can get back in this but

:33:02. > :33:05.those were two good looks. At least they are getting open looks, that

:33:06. > :33:11.will block encouraging for Australia. Baynes is really sticking

:33:12. > :33:19.up. As Mills came down, Markovic gave him a foul, a for slowing him

:33:20. > :33:28.down. Take a look at this. Mills' body control, getting in the basket.

:33:29. > :33:31.The passing finally worked out and that's what Australia were

:33:32. > :33:43.concentrating on. It's what Lemanis was trying to figure out at Time.

:33:44. > :33:49.Broekhoff. Ingles. Mills. That was better stuff. Baynes. Couldn't get

:33:50. > :33:53.the hook. Again, Australia Miss and against Serbia come-down, three and

:33:54. > :33:58.a half to play in the half, they lead by 12. Starting to get the

:33:59. > :34:05.opportunities, Australia, but they are not putting them away. He wasn't

:34:06. > :34:26.even bothering to dribble. He's busy looking at the ball. One

:34:27. > :34:32.way or the other, we were get that one over to Australia. Mills looking

:34:33. > :34:43.to get three. He wants to go end to end and this

:34:44. > :34:49.is the way you get the full. You don't often see that, a 7'7" poking

:34:50. > :34:55.the steal away, picking up the ball and taking it end to end, taking the

:34:56. > :35:00.defender on and watch this. He read it brilliantly, Raduljica. The move

:35:01. > :35:05.coming, he wasn't able to finish it off but got the foul anyway. He's

:35:06. > :35:10.playing well, Raduljica. He's not a player that's going to score 50

:35:11. > :35:13.points, but he's going to do everything and work hard, he showed

:35:14. > :35:20.that against Croatia. He's a really tough customer. Sasha had to call it

:35:21. > :35:34.in case the referee missed it. The other thing, they basically spell

:35:35. > :35:35.him very quickly. It's a power play. Three minutes to play, the score is

:35:36. > :35:54.double. He's taken a few fouls as well.

:35:55. > :36:00.Mills gets fouled by your kitsch. Still a 14 point lead for Serbia.

:36:01. > :36:04.Australia just haven't been able to put in a really strong set of

:36:05. > :36:08.minutes. There's been spits and starts, it looks OK for a bit, but

:36:09. > :36:17.Serbia keep consistently finding the basket. Baynes comes out. He has

:36:18. > :36:23.worked so hard. A couple of important offensive rebounds as

:36:24. > :36:29.well. Andersen is now the centre and they have three forwards and Agard.

:36:30. > :36:35.No, two guards, Martin and Mills. Another foul.

:36:36. > :36:57.Dellavedova comes back in. Andersen knocks that one but only as far as

:36:58. > :37:02.Bogdanovich. The again, the 3-point shooting, 18%. They've only hit two

:37:03. > :37:05.of 11, Australia. That needs to improve dramatically if they are to

:37:06. > :37:14.get back into this contest. Markovic, over to Bogdanovich. They

:37:15. > :37:23.play patty cake with it and it comes back out to Markovic. There's the

:37:24. > :37:28.open man, 30-24. Sorry, 30-14, excuse me. The Australians got

:37:29. > :37:33.excited for a second but no, they are down by 16 points here and they

:37:34. > :37:36.haven't had this in the Olympic Games, not even against the United

:37:37. > :37:40.States where they are this far behind, and how they recover from

:37:41. > :37:44.this I'm not sure. This is going to be the alley OOP by Bogdanovich but

:37:45. > :37:49.if you watched the last bit of play as soon as they gave up the dribble

:37:50. > :37:53.they were all over it. His defender comes right up on top, trying to

:37:54. > :37:58.deny La Paz. The player on the sidelines who could pass to is

:37:59. > :38:03.currently covered. And an thought about three. Nothing open in the

:38:04. > :38:11.corner. Look how the defence is moving and the path is wild, thrown

:38:12. > :38:17.away by Golding. It's still on one, 32-14. They're getting their baskets

:38:18. > :38:22.but like you said, this performance is built on good defence. It being

:38:23. > :38:27.magnificent. They've completely stopped Australia. Look at those

:38:28. > :38:33.points off turnovers as well. Dellavedova can't get its drop, the

:38:34. > :38:39.rebound is tipped to Kalinic. There's a foul behind the play.

:38:40. > :38:43.Andersen was holding back. The in the United States coach says you're

:38:44. > :38:46.the best passing team in the Olympic Games and that you cannot pass the

:38:47. > :38:50.ball, the opposing defences doing something absolutely brilliantly.

:38:51. > :38:55.That's what Serbia have done in this. They are taking advantage of

:38:56. > :38:59.the other end as well. Australia having to press on the offensive and

:39:00. > :39:08.it means people are getting caught down there and Serbia is breaking

:39:09. > :39:09.the other way. Bogdanovich has been playing, but running the ball very

:39:10. > :39:20.well. The first of two foul shots. This is

:39:21. > :39:27.the second, Andersen with the rebound, Dellavedova to bring it up

:39:28. > :39:31.for Australia. Not long for a free throw comment extraordinary for a

:39:32. > :39:35.team that conceded 40 plus in one game. The ball by Miller has just

:39:36. > :39:43.hit the bottom of the net and Serbia now walking up slowly. In the final

:39:44. > :39:50.minute of the first half. The password behind Kalinic. -- the path

:39:51. > :39:56.went behind Kalinic. He fell down twisting himself trying to get it.

:39:57. > :39:59.57 seconds left. 19 points is not an insurmountable deficit but it's the

:40:00. > :40:03.performers that gives you great concern. How do Australia get back

:40:04. > :40:07.in this game? It's not like they're missing every shot, they are not

:40:08. > :40:15.getting good looks at the basket. Lisch now is the point guard. He's

:40:16. > :40:23.an outside shooter, Goulding, but he can't hit, and Serbia again clear

:40:24. > :40:33.the boards with 45 seconds left. Stefan Jovic to Nikola Jokic.

:40:34. > :40:37.Bogdanovich takes it back outside, there's Nikola Jokic with the open

:40:38. > :40:44.jumper, takes it, put it in and Goulding is down. I think

:40:45. > :40:48.Bogdanovich... He's injured. I think Bogdanovich may have knocked him

:40:49. > :40:54.over quickly. He might have twisted something by the way he was

:40:55. > :41:01.hobbling. Mills holding for one last shot. Gets two pics, launches the

:41:02. > :41:09.tree and it goes in and out. That's been the Australian's story for

:41:10. > :41:13.Australia. The shots are difficult, that wasn't an easy 3-point

:41:14. > :41:17.attempts. This is a real concern for Australia. Serbia have played this

:41:18. > :41:20.half brilliantly and they are forcing Australia into difficult

:41:21. > :41:27.attempts and there's a lot to think about for Australia at half-time.

:41:28. > :41:34.There's no letup here from Serbia, because they know they've watched

:41:35. > :41:39.comeback, they watched Croatia comeback against them. That didn't

:41:40. > :41:45.miss by much but it did miss. But what a half for Serbia, 35-14 over

:41:46. > :41:49.Australia. It looks like as you watch it like Serbia know exactly

:41:50. > :41:54.what Australia is going to do at any given time, and they're in a

:41:55. > :41:57.position to stop it. STUDIO:

:41:58. > :42:01.You can't really believe an Australian team can be that bad in

:42:02. > :42:06.the next two periods, can you? They've had a pretty woeful Olympic

:42:07. > :42:09.Games. We had some Australians on Copacabana Beach a Gestede aren't

:42:10. > :42:13.safe to say the normal bravado you get from Australians at an Olympic

:42:14. > :42:17.Games, talking about how many medals they've won is sadly missing because

:42:18. > :42:23.it hasn't been a great Games for Australia. We shall return for the

:42:24. > :42:27.third period of that. The winner of that takes on team USA in the final,

:42:28. > :42:31.which is this weekend. It's actually Sunday afternoon. Thank you for all

:42:32. > :42:35.your, we are getting so many tonight, I'm glad so many of you

:42:36. > :42:41.have been enjoying the Moon news. Gemma Wildig, what a lovely surname

:42:42. > :42:44.that is, BBC Four's Olympic coverage, it's very nice of you to

:42:45. > :42:50.say, you've ticked all the boxes, just waiting for Copaca - Worrall

:42:51. > :42:54.Thompson before I can go to bed. I'm not sure it's going to happen.

:42:55. > :43:03.Normally they are setting up the circuit training by now. We expect

:43:04. > :43:08.him about eight o'clock our time, about midnight back at home. If he's

:43:09. > :43:14.not coming, I might have to send Dan off up and down the beach, the floor

:43:15. > :43:17.manager, Dan, as well as researching moon news, can you see if Antony

:43:18. > :43:21.Worrall Thompson is somewhere else on the beach? I feel that he's

:43:22. > :43:27.genuinely gone. I feel we need to see him. I don't know about you, but

:43:28. > :43:30.that can't be the last time that we see Antony Worrall Thompson the

:43:31. > :43:34.night before last. Lots of other people saying please, please, please

:43:35. > :43:42.can teenage route in the bin men be the new Copaca - binmen hashtag? It

:43:43. > :43:45.was trending on the trot. For several nights. I've come to terms,

:43:46. > :43:51.says Ollie, with the fact the Olympics is coming to an end but I'm

:43:52. > :43:55.not sure I'm ready to say goodbye to Copaca cars- binmen. Lots of people

:43:56. > :44:04.asking if there is a live feed they can hook up to four seeing the

:44:05. > :44:08.binmen. People are asking for their fix of Copaca - binmen, apparently

:44:09. > :44:13.there is one, the Earth satellite, a webcam that you can hook up to, so

:44:14. > :44:17.maybe that will be oversubscribed once these Olympics come to an end.

:44:18. > :44:22.I, like you, feel life will be incomplete without a look at some

:44:23. > :44:25.lovely men called Raphaelite Donatello and Alejandro and Pedro

:44:26. > :44:31.picking up the bins every night. Sean says surely we need to finish

:44:32. > :44:38.off the show tomorrow night with a montage all the Copacabana Sirte and

:44:39. > :44:44.the weirdness of the Games. Many requests, I believe something is in

:44:45. > :44:49.production. -- Copacabanter. Tim is reluctantly going through all the

:44:50. > :44:54.various tapes and recordings of the last few weeks, putting it all

:44:55. > :44:57.together. I'm not sure whether that business of yesterday, the intense

:44:58. > :45:01.reading, is going to make it in there but something will get there.

:45:02. > :45:07.Nigel says, this is the first time I stayed up for the Copacabana -- the

:45:08. > :45:20.Copaca binmen and now I get the bonus of eight Copaca moon. Tony

:45:21. > :45:24.says Copaca lunar would be better. People are asking if we can show

:45:25. > :45:28.they shot off the plane going across the blood red moon. I think we can.

:45:29. > :45:33.Let's have a look at this again, this was pretty special. We've had

:45:34. > :45:37.our red moon, it's going slightly back to normal coloured moon, but

:45:38. > :45:43.have a look at this once again, can we show that? I think we can. Have a

:45:44. > :45:50.look, wait for it. If we just wait, hold on a minute, oh, no, it's gone,

:45:51. > :45:53.I thought we were going to get the binmen in as well, what a huge

:45:54. > :45:59.disappointment. Maybe we've had enough Copaca binmen tonight. Can we

:46:00. > :46:04.see the moon now? It's gone back to somewhat normal colour. I've put out

:46:05. > :46:09.a social media request to Professor Brian Cocks and Dara O Briain as a

:46:10. > :46:13.substitute, so if either of those would like to come on and have a

:46:14. > :46:18.little chat about the science behind the red moon, that would be lovely.

:46:19. > :46:21.We'll take your suggestions as well just in case. Yesterday we were

:46:22. > :46:26.showing you an amazing handball match, a semifinal in the women's

:46:27. > :46:30.competition, Norway against Russia. Unfortunately we had to leave it at

:46:31. > :46:34.2am in the morning your time and the score was 28-28, so they went into

:46:35. > :46:38.extra time for stock they play five minutes each way of extra time. We'd

:46:39. > :46:43.join it at the start of the second period. Russia are leading 34-33.

:46:44. > :46:47.The winner at the end of this goes into the gold medal match. This is

:46:48. > :46:49.Russia taking on more weight, five minutes of extra time to go, Russia

:46:50. > :47:03.with a one goal lead. COMMENTATOR: Five minutes left in

:47:04. > :47:07.the second period of extra time, Norway 33-34 Russia. Can one of

:47:08. > :47:15.these two teams win it in the next five minutes and get through to the

:47:16. > :47:19.final of Rio 2016? Norway on the attack, dropping back again to try

:47:20. > :47:28.to stretch the defence. Christiansen moves into the centre. Lovely, huge

:47:29. > :47:32.angle! Levelling it again! Nipped and tuck between these two teams. A

:47:33. > :47:41.goal one end and a goal at the other. 34-34, another high-scoring

:47:42. > :47:47.game, admittedly three of those goals each have come in the extra

:47:48. > :47:52.time period but still, in normal time, 31-31 is reasonably

:47:53. > :47:58.high-scoring. Keeping to the Russian standard of having pretty much 30

:47:59. > :48:02.goals scored in all bar one of their games so far, only France managed to

:48:03. > :48:06.keep them under the scoreline, 26, and they still won the game. One of

:48:07. > :48:11.these teams will need some Russian standard at the end. That is the

:48:12. > :48:13.turn and it is in the post! The penalty is given. Off the inside of

:48:14. > :48:31.the I should have said. Well, it was two of them. I think

:48:32. > :48:39.one pushed her into the other. Three penalty saves already. Sorry, for

:48:40. > :48:44.penalty saves and on comes Lunde, had 260th International today, using

:48:45. > :48:52.all her experience. But Russia school and they are back in front.

:48:53. > :48:59.35-34. Three and a half minutes left on the clock. Russia is starting to

:49:00. > :49:08.score their seven metre throws now. This is the time to sort that out.

:49:09. > :49:14.On the overlap. Driving in and off the inside of the post but again,

:49:15. > :49:17.penalty given. Such a close call with these situations, whether the

:49:18. > :49:21.defenders are moving or not. The referee is well-placed to see it. In

:49:22. > :49:24.this case, clearly still in movement. If they had managed to

:49:25. > :49:31.close the gap a second earlier, it would have been an attacking foul.

:49:32. > :49:34.She is coolness personified, job done. And once more, it is level

:49:35. > :49:42.with less than three minutes remaining. 14 goals for her. Despite

:49:43. > :49:45.the desperate lunge by the goalkeeper, throwing herself at it

:49:46. > :49:49.and if it is still level at the end of this period, there will be

:49:50. > :49:52.another two times five minutes to play, exhausting for the players,

:49:53. > :49:58.especially given the rhythm they have maintained throughout the

:49:59. > :50:05.semifinal. Finding the back of the net and Russia are back in front,

:50:06. > :50:10.36-35. She has been providing rather than scoring in this game. But today

:50:11. > :50:13.she has come good in extra time. Only a free throw and Norway are

:50:14. > :50:18.still attacking. We are coming towards the two minute mark. Getting

:50:19. > :50:22.away from the marker and releases to the wing, good play and trademark

:50:23. > :50:30.Norwegian move, driving and. Nice and simple, don't over complicate

:50:31. > :50:34.it. This is going to come down to who misses the most, isn't it? They

:50:35. > :50:39.go up the other end, they score, they go up the other end, baseball,

:50:40. > :50:41.whoever makes a mistake, whichever goalkeeper manages to get a

:50:42. > :50:48.fingertip to the ball could be the team to go through to the final. A

:50:49. > :50:59.free throw, the defender coming across very quickly. Good angle for

:51:00. > :51:04.the wing and under the keeper! She doubles up on the left wing, she's

:51:05. > :51:10.quite versatile herself as well. And back, Norway with one minute and 15

:51:11. > :51:20.seconds remaining. Straight through and under the keeper again!

:51:21. > :51:23.Kristiansen. Incredible, it is just straight up each end and as you say,

:51:24. > :51:32.it is going to come down to one save. We are into the last minute

:51:33. > :51:41.now. Who can keep their nerve, here? Good defence, managed to stop her

:51:42. > :51:45.turning and awarded a penalty, just a freak, stopping the clock with 46

:51:46. > :51:48.seconds remaining, the block and thereby the defender who is on a

:51:49. > :51:52.second suspension and they've do add to that engine, they are mopping the

:51:53. > :51:56.floor and the players' hearts are probably beating at 110 miles an

:51:57. > :52:01.hour. They just want to get on with it. Nothing builds tension like

:52:02. > :52:09.mopping the floor! In this scenario, that sentence is bizarrely true.

:52:10. > :52:15.The pass was a bit behind but the shot comes in. Penalty to Russia!

:52:16. > :52:22.And we are almost in an identical scenario to the end of the normal 60

:52:23. > :52:26.minutes. Russia had a penalty with about 30 seconds left on the clock,

:52:27. > :52:31.scored it, look like they had won it and Norway went up the other end and

:52:32. > :52:34.equalised. It was a good save by the goalkeeper but the defenders inside

:52:35. > :52:49.the area, battling away and they both step back into it and Lunde

:52:50. > :52:55.comes on impassively. She scores! And again, Norway up against the

:52:56. > :52:59.clock. 25 seconds left. If Norway don't score in this attack, they are

:53:00. > :53:03.going to be not going through to the final of the Olympic Games.

:53:04. > :53:08.Christiansen out of the wing. It is wide! Norway have missed it! And

:53:09. > :53:12.surely that means Russia are going to be going through to the Olympic

:53:13. > :53:16.final! The Norwegian women stand with their heads in their hands on

:53:17. > :53:22.the side of the court. Because there is the hooter, and there is the

:53:23. > :53:26.final whistle! Norway, the champions in Beijing, the champions in London,

:53:27. > :53:34.but they have been beaten by Russia, who are through to the Olympic

:53:35. > :53:38.final. Incredible scenes! The Russian goalkeeper, absolutely

:53:39. > :53:43.swamped by her team-mates and tears of despair for the Norwegians, who

:53:44. > :53:47.wanted to write their own page of history. But they are thwarted by a

:53:48. > :53:51.Russian team who played their game and play it fast, took the game to

:53:52. > :53:57.them and kept their nerve at the end. An absolutely distraught

:53:58. > :54:03.player, who missed the last lob over the goalkeeper, it was centimetres

:54:04. > :54:06.wide and it could have taken it to another extra time but tears of joy

:54:07. > :54:14.for the Russians. They are trying to come over and consoled. It will take

:54:15. > :54:19.some time before she can get up and come to terms with it. But you

:54:20. > :54:24.cannot fall to her, she tried so hard. It is one of those things but

:54:25. > :54:29.Russia are in a final at the end of an amazing semifinal that goes to

:54:30. > :54:36.extra time. The final score, Norway 37-38 Russian Federation.

:54:37. > :54:42.So there you go, Russia winning by a single point in the end and going

:54:43. > :54:46.onto the final and I think before we finish at 2am, we will have a tiny

:54:47. > :54:50.bit more handle for you. We are going to go back to the basketball

:54:51. > :54:53.very shortly. The handball later is in the men's competition, the

:54:54. > :54:58.semifinal between Poland and Denmark. We told you that Peter

:54:59. > :55:04.Schmeichel actually, the distinctive goalkeeping style, I can't do that

:55:05. > :55:07.had because I've got a microphone, hold on, he learned that as a

:55:08. > :55:13.handball player because it is huge in Scandinavia. Very good game, as

:55:14. > :55:23.is Frescobaldi. We have been telling you a lot about it and waiting to

:55:24. > :55:30.get you some fresco action. Come on, boys, you live on the BBC, let's see

:55:31. > :55:34.how quickly can keep the fresco ball going. If you are ready, we are

:55:35. > :55:38.ready. It's a bit like Dennis but a wooden bat, like a stool ball back.

:55:39. > :55:43.Go again and I will just describe it. The ball is very bouncy. For

:55:44. > :55:50.those of you who missed the early description of fresco ball, it is

:55:51. > :55:54.not a sort of opponent sport. It is more a partner. One of the guys is

:55:55. > :55:58.meant to be smashing it fast and the other one is meant to be deflecting

:55:59. > :56:08.back. These two are in the early stages of fresco ball magic. Let's

:56:09. > :56:12.go and have a quick word. I don't want to put you off on your fresco

:56:13. > :56:18.ball. Let's have a quick word about the Olympic Games. What have you

:56:19. > :56:23.seen so far? I think the Olympic Games are imported to Rio and the

:56:24. > :56:33.tourism because the economy depends on tourism in Rio. So many countries

:56:34. > :56:38.coming here to spend money and watch the Olympic Games. Has it been

:56:39. > :56:41.exciting as a resident of Rio, a Carioca, to see some of the biggest

:56:42. > :56:49.names in the world like Usain Bolt racing last night? We left here at

:56:50. > :56:52.10pm and Usain Bolt's race was about half an hour later and as we were

:56:53. > :56:57.walking down Copacabana, every bar stopped, everyone went quiet and

:56:58. > :57:00.they watched for 20 seconds and then they cheered and shouted. He is a

:57:01. > :57:03.global superstar and he's in your city at the moment along with lots

:57:04. > :57:11.of other massive names from the sporting world. I think it is

:57:12. > :57:14.important because they are famous in the world forever and it is honoured

:57:15. > :57:22.to be here with him because he is a legend. I am now in the same country

:57:23. > :57:29.of him. It's amazing. Lovely to hear. We have also seen just down

:57:30. > :57:34.the way, after Usain Bolt, we saw a fifth gold medal for Brazil in the

:57:35. > :57:39.beach volleyball, Silva in the judo, and in the pole vault as well,

:57:40. > :57:44.concise owl in the boxing and be sailing gold medal yesterday. What

:57:45. > :57:48.has it been like as they host nation to see that as the Copaca-binmen go

:57:49. > :57:54.behind us, it is all coming together now, what has it been like as the

:57:55. > :57:57.host nation. It is our boys as well! Evening, gents! They've got the next

:57:58. > :58:00.one, they've gathered a few on their travels. What has it been like as

:58:01. > :58:08.the host nation to see that success for Brazilians. It is amazing how

:58:09. > :58:15.Brazil can have a lot of... How can I say? A lot of type of different

:58:16. > :58:20.people. It is good, more medals for Brazil. The USA have like 100

:58:21. > :58:26.medals. Team GB are second in the medal table, Great Britain. You

:58:27. > :58:32.know, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Great Britain? We are

:58:33. > :58:41.second, behind USA. Oh, yes, and I think England, how can I say, it is

:58:42. > :58:46.amazing, too. One last one, do you think it will make a difference to

:58:47. > :58:49.Brazil? Maybe both of you can answer this, a difference to Brazil when

:58:50. > :58:52.everyone has left the Olympics are finished and the Paralympics have

:58:53. > :58:56.finished. Two years ago, the World Cup was here as well. Do you think

:58:57. > :59:04.it will make a difference to the people? Of course, the Olympic and

:59:05. > :59:07.the World Cup have a legacy to Brazil because we know the different

:59:08. > :59:15.cultures from Beit other countries, the whole world is watching Brazil

:59:16. > :59:23.now and Rio so we can make the children... Play different sports

:59:24. > :59:33.beside football. Soccer. It is a monoculture. Can I compliment you on

:59:34. > :59:37.your amazing English? It's a word you probably never heard, I feel

:59:38. > :59:41.like a real Luddite listening to use big brilliant English and I can't

:59:42. > :59:49.speak any Portuguese apart from I can say obrigado. I am getting it

:59:50. > :59:55.right, continue with a bit of fresco ball. Lovely to talk to you both. It

:59:56. > :00:03.has been great for us to speak to normal residents of Rio, what you

:00:04. > :00:07.think about Brazilian culture and the Olympics. We will let you enjoy

:00:08. > :00:11.your evening on the beach. Do you want to see if there's any sign of

:00:12. > :00:15.Antony Worrall Thompson? This is like a hole in all of our lives.

:00:16. > :00:19.Look at it, no one here, normally there's people shuffling along the

:00:20. > :00:22.beach and people dragging things and cattle bells and Antony Worrall

:00:23. > :00:29.Thompson sitting over there with his green mussel top or his grey top.

:00:30. > :00:33.Apparently, for all of the Antony Worrall Thompson fans out there, I

:00:34. > :00:38.know he's not here tonight and he leaves a big hole for all of us but

:00:39. > :00:41.we have got some footage of him from a few nights ago if you are really

:00:42. > :00:47.missing the Antony Worrall Thompson hit. Here is a bit of him from a few

:00:48. > :00:52.nights ago. Have a look. This will bring it all back. There he goes. Go

:00:53. > :00:55.on, son! Look at the technic, beautiful, a man who has worked so

:00:56. > :01:00.hard in the last few nights, he did ninth circuit training sessions on

:01:01. > :01:05.the trot and he's brilliant, been a great sport, does not speak anywhere

:01:06. > :01:09.near as good English as Raphael over there but said he did not want to

:01:10. > :01:13.come on the BBC. But he's been very happy to be part of our coverage on

:01:14. > :01:17.BBC Four. I don't know if I could explain to him just how significant

:01:18. > :01:22.a character he has become to the BBC for viewers. But it has been magical

:01:23. > :01:29.for us to spend a few evenings in the present of AWT as we like to

:01:30. > :01:47.call him. No Lunde, no party. This is the basketball, it's in the

:01:48. > :01:52.3rd quarter, Australia against Serbia, Serbia Way ahead of

:01:53. > :01:57.Australia by 21 points. COMMENTATOR:

:01:58. > :02:02.Keep shooting well, Serbia, which they have done so far. It's a tough

:02:03. > :02:07.road for Lemanis' team to get back in. That's the other thing, I know

:02:08. > :02:12.you mentioned Australia were great from the bench but Serbia have been

:02:13. > :02:16.getting 44 points on average from their bench players. Mills has a

:02:17. > :02:26.good look, it's not going to go in and the rebound just saved from

:02:27. > :02:33.being out of bounds. Mills is yet to get firing.

:02:34. > :02:45.There's a foul on Raduljica, forcing his way through the middle. Watch

:02:46. > :02:56.13, he sets the pig. And follows it up. With the chokehold. He was

:02:57. > :03:00.making a meal of it. You know how when you put the chokehold on, you

:03:01. > :03:06.raise your arm to make sure you're still conscious. That's one of the

:03:07. > :03:15.things that can help Australia, they could have had an open three. Ingles

:03:16. > :03:24.moves back. Now takes the job off and hits it. 40-21. Again, it's

:03:25. > :03:28.encouraging from Australia but comms -- but Serbia continued to play the

:03:29. > :03:37.way they have and it's a tough road still for Australia. He's been

:03:38. > :03:41.brilliant. The whole Olympic Games, he's so smart, always seems to make

:03:42. > :03:49.the right decisions, the right path and another fantastic move. Does it

:03:50. > :03:52.sound to you like court -- coach Djordjevic, his whistle sounds

:03:53. > :03:57.exactly like the referee's whistle? I thought it was the players' shoes

:03:58. > :04:05.but it does sound like the referee's whistle. He whistled for his team.

:04:06. > :04:13.Step inside, take the two, he has a nice open look for it. Obviously the

:04:14. > :04:19.director thinks Stimac is the best player on the bench. A great reach,

:04:20. > :04:24.a good cheer, he's done well in a couple of games they have put him

:04:25. > :04:30.in. If Raduljica keeps failing he might get more time. That's what

:04:31. > :04:34.happens, absolutely. At least Australia are topping this corner,

:04:35. > :04:42.they will take that as something, it might be two by the end of this,

:04:43. > :04:50.but... Maybe I've read that too early. The whistle blew before the

:04:51. > :04:54.shot, I assume in the lane to early since everything was in the lane too

:04:55. > :04:55.early but that's a rule that observed mostly by its

:04:56. > :05:11.nonobservance. At least they're slightly getting

:05:12. > :05:14.something going for Serbia at the moment, but a long way to go still.

:05:15. > :05:33.42-23. Ingles is calling for the foul.

:05:34. > :05:40.Australia has outscored 9-7 in this quarter, which is not what they need

:05:41. > :05:51.-- has outscored Serbia. Good pass to Raduljica, he's travelling. Yes,

:05:52. > :05:57.that whistle sounds just like the referee's whistle, doesn't it? It

:05:58. > :06:03.took Raduljica completely by surprise. When someone is coming

:06:04. > :06:14.down for basket and Sasha whistles, they stop.

:06:15. > :06:20.Can't hit the three. Mills with the steal, Mills can't get it to go,

:06:21. > :06:27.Baynes can't get it to go, but Baynes is fouled by Nikola Jokic.

:06:28. > :06:31.Seems to be an improvement in the rebound is from Australia and that

:06:32. > :06:40.was an area that it needed to pick up on. A couple of offensive rebound

:06:41. > :06:47.is there. Nikola Jokic said to the referee he was holding my wrist, he

:06:48. > :06:51.went right over and told him that. You have got to be careful though. A

:06:52. > :07:02.different referee would give a technical foul for that. This is the

:07:03. > :07:11.shot. 82%, he shoots well for a big man. But... 18 point lead. Under six

:07:12. > :07:26.minutes to go in the third. From the Australian perspective it's

:07:27. > :07:30.a matter of keep plodding away at the deficit, give yourself something

:07:31. > :07:34.to work on in the 4th quarter. So far in that respect is going well. I

:07:35. > :07:37.think it's been a bit of an improvement in the way that the

:07:38. > :07:42.offensive movements have gone but still, Serbia are playing extremely

:07:43. > :07:47.well. Teodosic Chas been playing fantastic and they keep shooting

:07:48. > :07:51.well. Markovic handling again, Teodosic should is moved to the

:07:52. > :08:09.bottom. What a great move. Mills, Ingles, he wants to drive.

:08:10. > :08:15.This is the left-hand layout and Serbia come away with the ball.

:08:16. > :08:23.Nothing drops for Australia. Back to Teodosic, inside beautiful pass to

:08:24. > :08:28.Raduljica and he puts it in, 46-24. Of the team they have worked it so

:08:29. > :08:31.well. They are doing what Australia is not, moving the ball around and

:08:32. > :08:39.finding the open play. Fantastic from Serbia. Must be said it doesn't

:08:40. > :08:46.help for Australia when they are shooting at 25% from the field. You

:08:47. > :08:51.cannot win an Olympic game simply -- semifinal shooting at 25%. It would

:08:52. > :08:58.be almost impossible, surely. Raduljica comes out. Three fouls for

:08:59. > :09:06.Raduljica. Usually gets into these situations by the 3rd quarter and

:09:07. > :09:10.gets the rest. Bogut, the team seventh foul halfway through the

:09:11. > :09:16.third period. Australia just having real trouble keeping the lead around

:09:17. > :09:25.20. Absolutely, they have to get to ten, surely. Bogut hasn't fired.

:09:26. > :09:29.Even Dellavedova has been quiet. The Olympic Games he has had have been

:09:30. > :09:33.fantastic. He has barely been able to pass the ball around. Patty Mills

:09:34. > :09:35.from 3-point range has not got going. This is really concerning

:09:36. > :09:59.from the Australian team. Bogdanovich, good pass. Back out.

:10:00. > :10:05.Markovic. Five on the shot clock. A foul. You contrast Australia and

:10:06. > :10:13.Serbia, the scoring from Serbia, is spread all over, several on six,

:10:14. > :10:16.some on eight, leading the way 14, everyone is contributing for

:10:17. > :10:21.Australia. There are so many zeros there, it's not good. When you watch

:10:22. > :10:28.that sequence from Serbia on the last possession, it looks like

:10:29. > :10:31.Australia in most of it. Absolutely, they've taken the Australia

:10:32. > :10:37.offensive and added the offensive here. Making the extra pass, making

:10:38. > :10:46.good use of the extra pass. Absolutely.

:10:47. > :11:07.The Serbia women tomorrow will play France in the bronze medal game,

:11:08. > :11:16.followed by Spain and the US in the gold medal game. A magnificent

:11:17. > :11:19.Olympic Games for Serbia in the basketball, part of the great

:11:20. > :11:24.Yugoslavian teams of the past. This is the second time the men's team

:11:25. > :11:28.have come as a team Serbia to the Olympic Games. For the women, is

:11:29. > :11:33.their first time. They've been magnificent and this one. Just in

:11:34. > :11:38.the points scoring, Australia had never scored less than 81 at the

:11:39. > :11:44.Olympic Games. They are not going to get anywhere near that. Only a 25

:11:45. > :11:48.and we're coming towards the end of the 3rd quarter. That is

:11:49. > :11:53.extraordinary, the defensive work from Serbia. Stefan Bircevic, made

:11:54. > :11:59.an Olympic debut in Atlanta with a silver medal in 1996. They haven't

:12:00. > :12:01.muddled since. That was Yugoslavia, together, at that point in 96, so

:12:02. > :12:19.this is Serbia just as Serbia. He takes his shirt off, and

:12:20. > :12:24.exchange. They must be absolute to delighted, they are 23 points ahead

:12:25. > :12:27.here. I'm not sure when Djordjevic was drawing up the game plan which

:12:28. > :12:33.has worked brilliantly that it would work this well. Absolutely not. For

:12:34. > :12:37.and a half to play in the third. Patty Mills has had to work very

:12:38. > :12:45.hard. He's got very little reward for it. In the corner Ingles 43.

:12:46. > :12:57.That one won't go, the rebound to Motum. 48-27 now. Pressure from

:12:58. > :13:02.Australia. They double inside but Stefan Jovic is able to get the ball

:13:03. > :13:06.out. It was a pretty brilliant play by Stefan Jovic to manage himself

:13:07. > :13:12.out of bounds and pass it out. That's a call right there, is the

:13:13. > :13:23.dosage, Australia pressing, they give Serbia pressure. 51-29. At

:13:24. > :13:30.least they are stepping up the pace, Australia, that will be encouraging

:13:31. > :13:33.for them. But mills -- but Milos Teodosic, what a remarkable player,

:13:34. > :13:42.17 points in this one, he's been a real leader for them.

:13:43. > :13:52.Damian Martin is coming into the game, as there was a foul behind the

:13:53. > :14:10.play after the basket for holding. A technical, no less.

:14:11. > :14:22.Two shots at the basket there, I wonder if that was the two

:14:23. > :14:26.technicals. Or was that the 16th? And another sportsmanlike, get they

:14:27. > :14:30.get the two shots, we didn't know what it was for because we didn't

:14:31. > :14:35.see it, didn't see the referee's signal. It could be where he is

:14:36. > :14:41.preventing the fast break. He was holding, he grabs the wrist, that

:14:42. > :14:50.was it, Ingles. With the offensive foul, pretty clear there. Set.

:14:51. > :14:56.Mirsky really difficult for Australia, what do you do to get

:14:57. > :15:00.back in this? You have not looked good the whole game, you are down by

:15:01. > :15:05.24 point and is only three minutes left in the third quarter. Serbia

:15:06. > :15:15.have not been bothered at all. It has left openings for the fence on

:15:16. > :15:19.the court. You have to take risks but the risks are risks for reason

:15:20. > :15:23.and even though Patty Mills is starting to get into gear, here, it

:15:24. > :15:27.is still a really tough job for Australia. Serbia have been

:15:28. > :15:43.magnificent. They have to see this out now. They lead by 24.

:15:44. > :15:50.Teodosic gasoline sword and banks it in. He's a remarkable, what a player

:15:51. > :15:53.and the way they have played has also given the team confidence

:15:54. > :15:57.because when you are dominating by so much, you are forcing Australia

:15:58. > :16:01.into difficult things and positions, then you grow in belief that this is

:16:02. > :16:07.working. Mills has decided to take this on his own shoulders and there

:16:08. > :16:14.is a foul as both Martin and Brock Motum played Mills' rebound.

:16:15. > :16:20.Teodosic is seven from 12 from the floor. They have not been easy shots

:16:21. > :16:25.for the most part. He's a remarkable talent but he is so intelligent. I

:16:26. > :16:28.think he has the -- don't think he has the silky skills some of the

:16:29. > :16:32.other players in the Olympic Games but uses his smarts so well, not

:16:33. > :16:45.that he is technically not he is technically good. Still, 33 points

:16:46. > :16:48.in almost three quarters of basketball, I can't remember a score

:16:49. > :16:58.this low at the Olympic Games in the men's basketball.

:16:59. > :17:12.It is Martin. Takes a look at the replay to see how the fouled. -- how

:17:13. > :17:16.he fouled. It is all the more remarkable because of the strength

:17:17. > :17:22.of Australia's run through the group and the quarterfinals. They

:17:23. > :17:27.certainly seemed to be the second-best team in the tournament

:17:28. > :17:32.at that point and maybe to some extent, they got caught looking past

:17:33. > :17:35.Serbia. It's possible. They were kind of a surprise Dean Budd Serbia

:17:36. > :17:40.has come out and played easily the best game I have seen them play in

:17:41. > :17:45.this tournament. -- a surprise team but Serbia. But the potential was

:17:46. > :17:49.there, you saw it against the US, they were remarkable in that game as

:17:50. > :17:52.well but also, the important thing, maybe a factor for Australia was

:17:53. > :17:55.that they were a victim of their own success, they were so comfortable in

:17:56. > :17:59.every game apart from the USA game and they really pushed it that they

:18:00. > :18:03.have never been in this situation. They have never had to solve this

:18:04. > :18:07.problem before. When it was presented to them, they did not have

:18:08. > :18:10.the solution. And right now, they need to be looking primarily for

:18:11. > :18:19.three pointers if they can but they are not getting them. Ryan Broekhoff

:18:20. > :18:24.is followed after the shot by Bogdanovic. Two minutes to go.

:18:25. > :18:30.Serbia won't mind giving up fouls right now because the way it is

:18:31. > :18:36.going, they are looking comfortable. You may call that fairly simple. I

:18:37. > :18:40.guess the advantage is for the foul, for them, is that if both are made,

:18:41. > :18:46.then there is no rebound to get and they just get the ball back and eat

:18:47. > :18:52.up more time. All three are made because Ryan Broekhoff will shoot

:18:53. > :18:56.three. The ninth team foul in this quarter for Serbia. And it has not

:18:57. > :19:00.really hurt them. And it did not against the US, I think it helped

:19:01. > :19:09.them, they gave away about 45 free throws in that one.

:19:10. > :19:16.Welcomer Australia came out in the 2nd quarter and got the Bezy Boyd

:19:17. > :19:20.and then Serbia rolled back and came out in the 3rd quarter and got the

:19:21. > :19:25.first keyboard and then Serbia rolled back again. Just increasing

:19:26. > :19:27.their lead at every opportunity. It was built on that magnificent 1st

:19:28. > :19:35.quarter from Serbia when they were just outstanding. From the very

:19:36. > :19:39.first play of the game, they showed tremendous intensity. Two minutes to

:19:40. > :19:43.play in the 3rd quarter. Ryan Broekhoff with all three of his

:19:44. > :19:51.shots so Australia trailed by 22. And Serbia make the press quite

:19:52. > :20:08.easily, Milan Macvan. Stefan Jovic. Kalinic. Shooting the fall away and

:20:09. > :20:10.smoothly through. 60-36. Mills. Joe Ingles drives and lays it in. Great

:20:11. > :20:23.hands by Joe Ingles. But Serbia will be absolutely

:20:24. > :20:28.delighted to take this lead into the 4th quarter. Again, they break the

:20:29. > :20:32.press very easily but Joe Ingles get his hand on the cross and the ball

:20:33. > :20:37.goes out of bounds and Serbia have 15 left on the shot clock and 18 it

:20:38. > :20:41.in the quarter and lead by 22. Do you keep on pressing like that

:20:42. > :20:44.because Serbia are getting through so comfortably? Maybe you try a

:20:45. > :20:49.different press but Serbia recognised it quickly that they

:20:50. > :20:57.could get a man to the centre of the court and break it that way.

:20:58. > :21:02.Kalinic. Trying to break it up but they just spin around and find the

:21:03. > :21:07.open man, Markovic laying it in. 62-38 with one minutes to play in

:21:08. > :21:12.the third. Underneath the basket, trying to reverse it but it won't go

:21:13. > :21:20.because Nikola Jokic has the block and here comes Serbia. Inside to

:21:21. > :21:26.Milan Macvan and the layout is good, 64-38. They are just piling it on.

:21:27. > :21:28.So consistent. It has been an extraordinary performance from

:21:29. > :21:32.Serbia and they are finishing the quarter strongly as well. They have

:21:33. > :21:36.just been outstanding. Australia has no answer. In and out of three,

:21:37. > :21:52.rebound to Kalinic. We shouldn't forget that Serbia were

:21:53. > :21:58.runners-up at the World Championships in 2014. Yeah, we knew

:21:59. > :22:02.that. But they were underdogs coming into this. It has been remarkable.

:22:03. > :22:09.There they go again. This is incredible. Even that was defended

:22:10. > :22:14.and stopped. So, I mean, if Serbia go on to win this game, the fact of

:22:15. > :22:18.it will not be that it is an upset, per se, although it is to some

:22:19. > :22:23.extent but not a major upset, not like Nigeria beating Croatia. The

:22:24. > :22:26.fact that they did it so easily, that is what the amazing thing is,

:22:27. > :22:31.that they are so dominant in a game against a team who we said at the

:22:32. > :22:35.beginning, they are two very evenly matched teams but look at the

:22:36. > :22:39.difference in everything, almost every statistic. At three points, it

:22:40. > :22:44.is incredible, two from 20 from Australia, they would be nowhere

:22:45. > :22:53.near that lower percentage from 3-point range. And points from

:22:54. > :22:57.turnovers as well. That is the end of the 3rd quarter.

:22:58. > :23:01.The coverage will continue this one on the BBC website and via the

:23:02. > :23:05.sports app. I hope you appreciate that because it is so one-sided in

:23:06. > :23:09.Serbia's favour, we are going to leave it at this point. If you want

:23:10. > :23:13.to continue to watch the basketball, you can on the website or the app

:23:14. > :23:17.and we're going to go and take you to some handball in about ten

:23:18. > :23:20.minutes time, which is the semifinal of the men's match which we hope is

:23:21. > :23:24.as dramatic as the women's match between Norway and Russia that we

:23:25. > :23:28.watched yesterday. Poland against Denmark in about five minutes time

:23:29. > :23:32.but on day 14 of these games, let's bring you some real headlines. --

:23:33. > :23:42.Rio headlines. What a night in a hardy, gold for

:23:43. > :23:45.Team GB, brilliant performance from goalkeeper Maddie Hinch, 3-3 in

:23:46. > :23:48.normal time, it went to penalties and Hollie Webb got the decider, to

:23:49. > :23:55.give Team GB their first-ever Olympic gold.

:23:56. > :23:59.It was tense for Nick Skelton involved in a six way jump-off for

:24:00. > :24:08.gold in the individual show-jumping but he did it. Remarkably, this is

:24:09. > :24:11.his seventh Olympic Games. There might be another gold for

:24:12. > :24:15.Lutalo Muhammad later tonight at 2:15am in the UK comedy has a gold

:24:16. > :24:22.medal match after making it successfully through his semifinal

:24:23. > :24:27.in some style. -- in the UK, he has. Joe Joyce also has a chance of a

:24:28. > :24:29.gold medal. This is the same heavyweight division,

:24:30. > :24:34.superheavyweight, that Anthony Joshua won in 2012 and Joe Joyce is

:24:35. > :24:37.into the final and if he does win the gold, hopefully we will see

:24:38. > :24:43.plenty more of this from the big man. That's impressive, isn't it? So

:24:44. > :24:48.if you think about it, two guaranteed silvers and two potential

:24:49. > :24:52.gold medals, this is how the medal table looks at the moment and it's

:24:53. > :24:55.amazing to think that Team GB, explaining to our two Brazilian

:24:56. > :25:02.friends earlier, made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and

:25:03. > :25:09.Wales, 24 gold medals, 21 silver medals, 13 bronze medals, 58 in

:25:10. > :25:15.total, seven short of the 65 we got in London four years ago. And it was

:25:16. > :25:17.29 gold medals that time around. We will see what happens in the last

:25:18. > :25:27.few days of these Olympic Games. Handball coming up shortly but I

:25:28. > :25:30.know a lot of you were watching BBC One... Good evening! Team GB were

:25:31. > :25:33.involved in the gold-medal match against the number one ranked side

:25:34. > :25:37.in the world, the Netherlands. We have shown you that they won the

:25:38. > :25:41.gold medal but if you were watching on BBC Four and you missed it, this

:25:42. > :25:46.is how the Magic took place. COMMENTATOR: We are ready for 60

:25:47. > :25:51.minutes of blood, sweat and ultimately, tears, one way or the

:25:52. > :25:56.other. Helen Richardson-Walsh waiting in the centre of the circle.

:25:57. > :26:02.Off the legs and this time it is scored! Great Britain are in front!

:26:03. > :26:06.Lily Owsley strikes. The Dutch are inside the circle and Maddie Hinch

:26:07. > :26:14.is out and the angle, it is a goal! Kitty Van Male. It is a goal for the

:26:15. > :26:21.Netherlands, 2-1 in front, and a chance for Crista Cullen, who has

:26:22. > :26:29.scored! Kitty Van Male gets her goal, her second. Great Britain

:26:30. > :26:33.level! Penalty shoot out. That is the golden goal! Great Britain have

:26:34. > :26:43.won the Olympic gold medal! Absolutely brilliant, what drama,

:26:44. > :26:48.what emotion and hopefully we will speak to three or four of those GB

:26:49. > :26:56.hockey stars on BBC for tomorrow. I believe that is about 9:30am your --

:26:57. > :26:59.9:30pm your time. I really hope goalkeeper Maddie Hinch is among the

:27:00. > :27:03.because she was an absolute superstar tonight. I don't know if

:27:04. > :27:06.you saw the picture on social media of her water bottle, her drinks

:27:07. > :27:12.bottle while she was in goal and on it was written her name and then a

:27:13. > :27:21.sticker down the side that said," relax, hands up, chin out" and then

:27:22. > :27:25.right at the bottom it says, "Stay big", which is good advice for us

:27:26. > :27:28.all! She would be rather good at this game as well because we're

:27:29. > :27:33.going to show you some handball now which is so fast. When I came to

:27:34. > :27:38.Rio, two weeks ago, handball was the first thing that I saw live and I

:27:39. > :27:41.was hooked. It's amazing to watch. Last night we saw a brilliant

:27:42. > :27:48.semifinal in the women's tournament between Russia and Norway. Evening,

:27:49. > :27:51.gentlemen! Norway pushed Rush all the way and it went to extra time

:27:52. > :27:55.and in the end Russia won the match in extra time by a single goal.

:27:56. > :27:59.Tonight we are going to go to the men's semifinal. This is Poland

:28:00. > :28:02.taking on Denmark. Before we get to the action itself, this is a quick

:28:03. > :28:16.reminder of how handball works. Olympic handball is a fast flowing,

:28:17. > :28:22.high-scoring, body contact game which is played over two heart of 30

:28:23. > :28:25.minutes. It is played by two teams of seven players, six outfield

:28:26. > :28:29.players and the goalkeeper. Each goal is surrounded by a semicircle

:28:30. > :28:34.which is indicated by a line, six metres from the goal. Only the

:28:35. > :28:38.defending goalkeeper is allowed in this area. Players can move with the

:28:39. > :28:41.ball by dribbling and passing in the same way that a basketball player

:28:42. > :28:46.would. They can block the ball with their head, chest, thighs and knees

:28:47. > :28:51.but players cannot stand still with the ball for more than three seconds

:28:52. > :28:55.at a time. If a player commits a foul, the referee can award a free

:28:56. > :28:59.throw or a seven metre shot. It is taken from the seven metre line and

:29:00. > :29:03.is given when the referee ruled that someone has prevented a goal-scoring

:29:04. > :29:07.opportunity. A free throw is like a free in football and is generally

:29:08. > :29:11.taken from the spot where the foul occurred. But it is taken from the

:29:12. > :29:16.free throw line if it happens inside this area. Over time is only played

:29:17. > :29:20.during the knockout phase if scores are tied at the end of regulation

:29:21. > :29:24.time. If this happens, teams play five minutes extra and only play

:29:25. > :29:28.another five minutes if the scorer still level. If the teams are still

:29:29. > :29:33.tied at the end of this overtime period, the result is decided by a

:29:34. > :29:37.shoot out. That's how it works. We told you

:29:38. > :29:40.earlier that Peter Schmeichel perfected his goalkeeping technique

:29:41. > :29:44.playing handball in Denmark and I'm sure he's watching his beloved

:29:45. > :29:47.countrymen tonight taking on Poland. This is the semifinal, remember, so

:29:48. > :29:53.the winner goes into the gold-medal match. , Terry from Paul Bray and

:29:54. > :29:57.Jack Nicholson. Look at this huddle! This is how to do it. Get ready for

:29:58. > :29:59.this because I've got a feeling this is going to be intense. Enjoy some

:30:00. > :30:15.handball on BBC Four. COMMENTATOR:

:30:16. > :30:24.The same could be said of course of London.

:30:25. > :30:31.So the players just making their way out onto the court. The Danes a

:30:32. > :30:44.little slower to get out there than the Polish players. Some final

:30:45. > :30:50.high-fives all around. Poland versus Denmark under way in the Olympic

:30:51. > :30:54.semifinal. It's Poland in the red, playing from left to right. Denmark

:30:55. > :30:58.in the white, playing from right-to-left, and both of these

:30:59. > :31:03.sides looking to get into the semifinal for the first time in

:31:04. > :31:08.their history. Denmark, a win for them, sorry, to into the final, it

:31:09. > :31:13.would guarantee them a medal and it would be their first Olympic

:31:14. > :31:18.handball medal. There's a low shot win and it's Morten Olsen who has

:31:19. > :31:22.got the Danes off to a perfect start inside 30 seconds and now the Polish

:31:23. > :31:27.players come forward for their first attack.

:31:28. > :31:34.An excellent start by Denmark, Morten Olsen is straight on, such an

:31:35. > :31:38.entertaining player but so often gets left on the bench for that

:31:39. > :31:41.little bit longer. In the centre of the defence as they come back that

:31:42. > :31:52.Danes have the brothers working together. I good save. Hansen comes

:31:53. > :32:05.down. Good cover by Poland. Pick up all the players. His counterpart at

:32:06. > :32:09.the other end plays for the Polish champions. They both play in

:32:10. > :32:17.Germany, though not at the same time. Never quite team-mates, but oh

:32:18. > :32:27.so close. Olsen, that came off the defender. Majewski may have got a

:32:28. > :32:31.touch on it. -- Majewski. Olsen was meant to be other world last year

:32:32. > :32:38.but fractured his nose literally just before travelling out in their

:32:39. > :32:47.last game. There he is again. Two goals for Olsen. A simple setup but

:32:48. > :32:50.the defence too static at the moment. They are standing back and

:32:51. > :32:55.back and watching and the thing with him is he has such a good low shot

:32:56. > :32:59.but also quick acceleration. It make defence is a bit nervous about

:33:00. > :33:06.pushing up. They have to get there early. Meanwhile, the Danish defence

:33:07. > :33:10.are playing on a nine-metre line. They have Daszek on the line as

:33:11. > :33:20.well, trying to get through Rene Toft Hansen. He was coaching Hungary

:33:21. > :33:28.until the European Championships this year, didn't quite work out. So

:33:29. > :33:36.now coaching Poland. Another good save. Denmark coming forward, trying

:33:37. > :33:40.to make it 3-0. Close down, as Mikkel Hansen, they wait for the

:33:41. > :33:44.attacking players to come back on, having a conversation with

:33:45. > :33:51.Mortensen, number six there, and on again comes that man, how they

:33:52. > :33:56.missed him in the European Championships. They are showing here

:33:57. > :33:59.what they are capable of by getting into the last four of the Olympics,

:34:00. > :34:05.maybe even better. Olsen across to Hansen. Again, he has wriggled

:34:06. > :34:15.through. He has won the penalty time. His hand grabbed. It's Adam

:34:16. > :34:22.Wisniewski who has committed that foul, quite clear one. Olsen causing

:34:23. > :34:32.all manner of problems for the Polish defence early on. Hansen

:34:33. > :34:39.faces Szmal. Comfortably taken, Szmal committed himself a little too

:34:40. > :34:48.early. Goes up, shoots down next to the standing leg. A fraction of a

:34:49. > :34:52.second. The big bandage around the face of Hansen, he picked up a cut

:34:53. > :34:56.in the closing stages of their defeat to France in the group

:34:57. > :35:02.stages. Looked terrible at the time but mercifully he came straight

:35:03. > :35:08.back. Saved by Niklas Landin Jacobsen, but it won't count. Unlike

:35:09. > :35:16.Rene Toft Hansen, tries to get things organised. -- Henrik Toft

:35:17. > :35:21.Hansen. A sleeping defence, Toft went down and there was a gap

:35:22. > :35:34.straight through the middle. It's taken four and a half minutes but

:35:35. > :35:38.they get scoring. He finally beat Niklas Landin Jacobsen, who has

:35:39. > :35:43.played so well so far. It came about because of the slipping defence. An

:35:44. > :35:47.impressive opening five minutes for Denmark, 3-1 up against Poland. Here

:35:48. > :35:55.they come gain with Hansen inside to Olsen. Very briefly Poland appeared

:35:56. > :36:03.to be changing to a 501. Hansen has lifted -- shifted to the right. Did

:36:04. > :36:10.very well indeed, finds the right winger who has come in as a second

:36:11. > :36:17.line player. A foul on him. He gets a yellow card. Two line players

:36:18. > :36:22.there. A bit of a shove in the act of shooting. Not a bad line player

:36:23. > :36:31.either. So five and a half minutes played and you would say a 4-1 lead

:36:32. > :36:37.for Denmark. Bielecki comes on, he has a huge shot on him. Denmark are

:36:38. > :36:50.pushing up, there's a lot of depth to this Polish attack. Krzysztof

:36:51. > :36:54.Lijewski is pushing out, two minute suspension and hands clasped

:36:55. > :37:03.together makes no difference, Toft gets his first two minutes. Here is

:37:04. > :37:08.the fowl. He gives him a bit of a shove in the back. Denmark down to

:37:09. > :37:18.six players for the next two minutes. That's blase Soren Hansen's

:37:19. > :37:24.45th goal of the tournament. Here come Poland down the wing, just a

:37:25. > :37:34.little bit beyond Bielecki. Poland waste another opportunity going

:37:35. > :37:38.forward. Now we are seeing Denmark, their goalkeeper has come off so

:37:39. > :37:45.they are evening it up, six players forward and the goal empty. Changing

:37:46. > :37:53.defence from the Poles to see if they can sneak the ball and get the

:37:54. > :37:56.empty goal. Daszek is coming out and staying with Olsen but they have

:37:57. > :37:59.switched back. They did that last time. Luckily for them the whistle

:38:00. > :38:08.is already gone. Olsen followed them in. It stays 4-1.

:38:09. > :38:19.Krzysztof Lijewski and Przemyslaw Krajewski the defence specialists

:38:20. > :38:28.for now. Here come Poland again then. One little ball inside. The

:38:29. > :38:36.ball is in. It's finished up by Yanukovych. Another two minute

:38:37. > :38:40.suspension. There was a bush. No, it's not, the referee just wanted a

:38:41. > :38:45.little word with the Danish players -- there was a push. There was a

:38:46. > :38:52.push in their from Mikkel Hansen and it was the yellow card, that is what

:38:53. > :38:56.he has given, a yellow card to Mikkel Hansen. Denmark will try to

:38:57. > :39:03.come forward again. With eight minutes, they are two goals to the

:39:04. > :39:07.good. He was probably happy to move back out of the way so the ball can

:39:08. > :39:11.cross between the other two players. The open goal back once. Straight

:39:12. > :39:20.down the middle. They are the easy ones. Jachlewski scoring a third

:39:21. > :39:24.goal now for Poland. There was the pass intercepted and there is the

:39:25. > :39:35.view from down the edge. Olsen looks back rather ruefully. Niklas Landin

:39:36. > :39:40.Jacobsen can do nothing about it. He didn't even bother. He looked happy.

:39:41. > :39:44.Still they are staying now with Olsen. They are changing all the

:39:45. > :39:48.time. The problem is every time they drop back, the Danes seem to drive

:39:49. > :39:52.it in and take a shot, this time Hansen from the other side. But

:39:53. > :39:54.there's only one goal in it. Slowly and surely the Polish team are

:39:55. > :40:08.coming back. Here they come, Poland three,

:40:09. > :40:12.Denmark four, with nine minutes played. Denmark just taking a little

:40:13. > :40:23.bit of time to settle into it. Bielecki out to the right. The ball

:40:24. > :40:29.back inside. Nicely worked down to the wing. Saved again by Niklas

:40:30. > :40:34.Landin Jacobsen. It was Adam Wisniewski coming in from the left

:40:35. > :40:44.wing. A good save and the third one of the game fought Niklas Landin

:40:45. > :40:52.Jacobsen. A response straightaway. He surrounds the defender, just

:40:53. > :41:05.inside the post. An attack for him and the Danes pushed deeper gain.

:41:06. > :41:11.Syprzak comes on, the towering player trying to find him. There has

:41:12. > :41:18.been one substitution in the competition so far. That is the

:41:19. > :41:23.danger, it has made him the top scorer in the competition so far,

:41:24. > :41:29.Krzysztof Lijewski across court. He shoots around with no take off, the

:41:30. > :41:37.gap now one goal. We have passed the ten minute mark here and the Polish

:41:38. > :41:41.team with its deep defence, Christophe Lijewski pushes up. Toft

:41:42. > :41:50.moves into the gap behind. The break is on. The ball is picked up in

:41:51. > :41:53.midair, somehow comes back to Hansen and the break is on the other way.

:41:54. > :42:00.Hansen very kindly gives it straight back to the Poles. Didn't see anyone

:42:01. > :42:04.coming up behind him. Team-mates may be could have given him a yellow and

:42:05. > :42:11.the captain doesn't look too amused. A string of errors on both sides.

:42:12. > :42:16.The Poles try to resume things more quietly, the third turnover for

:42:17. > :42:21.Denmark already in this game. That Poles' options at the back

:42:22. > :42:27.restricted. Gierak had to be substituted through injury. There

:42:28. > :42:30.was an ankle injury in the group stages, hasn't played since, but he

:42:31. > :42:37.is on the bench. It will be interesting to see if they use them.

:42:38. > :42:44.The defenders are pulled out. As a result there is more space at the

:42:45. > :42:51.back for Syprzak. A lovely ball in from Bielecki and an awful lot of

:42:52. > :42:55.space. This time he has beaten Niklas Landin Jacobsen, who in

:42:56. > :43:06.general has been on form in the opening 12 minutes with a 50% safe

:43:07. > :43:11.rate for the 27-year-old. -- save rate. Here come Denmark again. A

:43:12. > :43:17.ball back from Hansen to Christiansen, picked up by

:43:18. > :43:21.Mortensen. Christiansen again. Toft getting really involved on the line.

:43:22. > :43:30.There's a bit of a shove over. Play on. They were anyway. Christiansen

:43:31. > :43:33.finds the back of the net again. Gudjohnsen looks on impassively,

:43:34. > :43:40.nice and simple. The defence absent down the middle. The back player

:43:41. > :43:46.goes straight through on the opposite side. Christiansen is

:43:47. > :43:53.moving to Germany next season. He will be there with Poland's number

:43:54. > :44:01.13, Bartosz Jurecki, who is joining them as well. He's not on the court

:44:02. > :44:11.yet. The whistle had gone. A two minute suspension. Committed by

:44:12. > :44:19.Christiansen. Grabs the shirt and latches on like a limpet. Just

:44:20. > :44:25.afraid the referee hadn't spotted it. Two goals in a couple of minutes

:44:26. > :44:28.for Christiansen. Now a two minute suspension. Poland will have the

:44:29. > :44:38.extra player. They have a chance now to draw level

:44:39. > :44:46.for the first time in the match other than of course when it was 0-0

:44:47. > :44:50.at the start. He tried to dive in and delays, saved by the feet of

:44:51. > :44:58.Niklas Landin Jacobsen but the whistle had already gone. It's such

:44:59. > :45:02.a shame, they didn't spread their defence is very wide. They are

:45:03. > :45:06.trying to batter down the front door at the moment. The wing has had

:45:07. > :45:09.space on either side. He needed the diagonal ball but they are sitting

:45:10. > :45:19.there waving and now for Denmark comes on the man with the huge shot,

:45:20. > :45:22.Mads Mensah Larsen. He is not a quick, mobile quick change of

:45:23. > :45:26.direction kind of player. He is one of those who give him a bit of space

:45:27. > :45:31.and he will launch a long-range effort.

:45:32. > :45:38.They are so dangerous from that kind of range, Denmark. Four of their

:45:39. > :45:46.seven goals have come from nine metres in this match so far. The

:45:47. > :45:52.defender, Matthaeus goes moving up to slowly to block that one. Denmark

:45:53. > :45:56.has scored four of their seven shots from nine metres but Poland have

:45:57. > :45:59.only had one long-range attempt, Bielik eat's goal earlier. At the

:46:00. > :46:04.moment, they are keeping him out of the game at the cost of the defence

:46:05. > :46:07.but still, the wingers are not getting the ball, it is going

:46:08. > :46:17.between back players and they are trying to force it to the line. That

:46:18. > :46:19.has been intercepted, they were well covered, one of them was standing

:46:20. > :46:26.behind his left shoulder, he was that fast. He had gone up but was

:46:27. > :46:30.well covered. Mensah Larsen will shift back to the right back

:46:31. > :46:36.position. Normally the centre left back. Back to full strength again so

:46:37. > :46:41.quietly but surely, the goalkeeper can handle back in. Morten Olsen in

:46:42. > :46:49.the centre. So far, so good for Denmark. Hansen. Olsen has got a bit

:46:50. > :46:52.of room. Coming into flat in the defence and so much power that the

:46:53. > :46:58.goalkeeper could only push it into his own goal. : 5-9 Denmark at the

:46:59. > :47:07.halfway stage of the first half, Hansen, barely a gap but he just

:47:08. > :47:10.managed to find it. -- Poland 5-9 Denmark. Frustrating for Poland to

:47:11. > :47:18.concede, they had so many opportunities to keep it out but

:47:19. > :47:24.found that width of a hand. Back they come for the moment. It will be

:47:25. > :47:27.a free throw, Krajewski has come into the attack. A team time-out has

:47:28. > :47:33.been called by Poland, struggling a little. Three goals adrift at the

:47:34. > :48:22.halfway mark. We will hear from Talant Dujshebaev.

:48:23. > :48:31.We can see these great pictures from the game so far. In addition to

:48:32. > :48:34.coaching the national team, he also coaches the Polish champions, Talant

:48:35. > :48:45.Dujshebaev who won the European Champions League this season, the

:48:46. > :48:48.first time. Very aggressive, Russian born, change nationalities banished

:48:49. > :48:58.but speaks fluent Polish after three years in the country with 60 minutes

:48:59. > :49:02.on the clock, Poland need to get some -- 16 minutes left on the

:49:03. > :49:09.clock, Poland need to get back in the game and I think we will have a

:49:10. > :49:14.discussion here. The goal was scored but Mensah Larsen giving a warning,

:49:15. > :49:23.ironically by fouling him, opening up the space. -- given a warning.

:49:24. > :49:26.Easy goal in the end for Syprzak, putting it under the goalkeeper and

:49:27. > :49:30.Mensah Larsen was concerned because he thought he would get more than an

:49:31. > :49:33.earful from the referee but in the end he just had a short word with

:49:34. > :49:40.him but after the team time-out, noticeable that Bartosz Jurecki has

:49:41. > :49:48.come on and they have got two recognise line players in a 4- to

:49:49. > :49:54.attack. They have Jachlewski trying to mark Olsen who is still finding

:49:55. > :49:59.space. Although he seems to have a bit of a twinge. He runs around

:50:00. > :50:03.Mattei is close, the defence specialist, cannot match the pace

:50:04. > :50:11.and then just spins around and shoot. -- he runs around Kus. : 6-9

:50:12. > :50:16.Denmark, Poland struggling to deal with the threat of Olsen and Hansen.

:50:17. > :50:22.A stumble and they get it out of the wing and again by Niklas Landin.

:50:23. > :50:29.Another save for the Danish keeper. The fifth save of the game so far.

:50:30. > :50:35.What a performance this is turning into for him. He will be annoyed

:50:36. > :50:42.with that, so much hype and so much time but that is an incredible pass,

:50:43. > :50:47.planning of Bielecki, quick throw by Denmark, not hanging around and

:50:48. > :50:55.Olsen straight onto the attack. Get the shot straight into the keeper,

:50:56. > :51:00.missed. And it's all a bit untidy. Casper Mortensen has got it now and

:51:01. > :51:03.will head back into the swing. Rene Toft Hansen somehow managed to hang

:51:04. > :51:07.onto the loose ball, him and his brother Henrik taking turns in

:51:08. > :51:15.attack on the line. They both play in exactly the same position. So,

:51:16. > :51:20.Mensah Larsen pushed back as Hansen is being closely watched by

:51:21. > :51:24.Jachlewski. Mensah Larsen, platters in off the crossbar, the pick-up is

:51:25. > :51:30.missed and the brake is on. Back into the centre and Kus, well, the

:51:31. > :51:36.defender in the rarefied atmosphere of the other half will stop one of

:51:37. > :51:39.his rare goals. Poland 8-9 Denmark, a couple of quick goals from Poland

:51:40. > :51:48.and they are looking in a bit better shape. Not only a rare goal for him,

:51:49. > :51:52.his only goal of the Olympics. And his face in his Poland career,

:51:53. > :52:00.albeit it is only his 12th appearance but nevertheless. -- his

:52:01. > :52:05.fifth. Mensah Larsen. Olsen tries to wriggle around and Mensah Larsen

:52:06. > :52:12.driving in and another quick break for Poland. Skipping through and

:52:13. > :52:16.finding the back of the net! Mishal Paseka Springs clear and Poland have

:52:17. > :52:22.managed to draw level, 19 minutes in, 9-9. What an incredibly good

:52:23. > :52:27.goal, look at his arm when he shoots. He is going to smash it into

:52:28. > :52:31.the back of the goal and realises he had to spin it and take the pace of

:52:32. > :52:33.the ball and runs his hand around the side. It was class, and team

:52:34. > :53:43.time-out now for Denmark. Mensah Larsen has been trying to

:53:44. > :53:50.draw the attention of the defenders and Daszek is starting to find space

:53:51. > :53:54.on the fast break. On the back of that team time-out for Denmark, both

:53:55. > :54:04.teams have had one so far. Still, Olsen in the middle and the veteran

:54:05. > :54:09.of 168 has come on for Denmark now, their second most capped player

:54:10. > :54:19.after Jesper Noddesbo, who has not been an yet. Sondergaard into the

:54:20. > :54:21.wing. That is quite nice because he has got himself straight onto the

:54:22. > :54:34.scoresheet, Sondergaard. He and Mads Christiansen, the only

:54:35. > :54:39.two who play their club Paderborn Denmark, the rest of them in

:54:40. > :54:46.Germany, nine of them and two in France, and a couple in Spain as

:54:47. > :54:52.well. 27 seconds on the court was Sondergaard and one goal. And now,

:54:53. > :54:56.Casper Mortensen has added to that on the quick break. Spotted the

:54:57. > :55:06.goalkeeper was out, just came in, stole it, sprinted clear and it was

:55:07. > :55:10.straightforward. Poor old Wyszomirski, comes on and his first

:55:11. > :55:17.action is to sprint to take the ball out of his goal. The second steel by

:55:18. > :55:21.Denmark, almost too easy. The wingers are coming around fast down.

:55:22. > :55:25.Little hand off into the wing, Daszek, no space, well covered this

:55:26. > :55:35.done by Mortenson who closed the gap very quickly. Past the 20 minute

:55:36. > :55:38.mark now in the game as Krajewski goes down, the 29-year-old, who

:55:39. > :55:45.plays will the team placed third in the Polish league this year. A

:55:46. > :55:50.little hand off and Daszek comes again to draw from the other wing

:55:51. > :55:54.and Bielecki and Niklas Landin remonstrate with his defence, waving

:55:55. > :55:58.his arms at them, but absolutely no doubt this done, and immediately,

:55:59. > :56:07.Bielecki takes advantage, such a huge shot on him, Toft was their way

:56:08. > :56:12.to late although Daszek helped a bit with a push and Talant Dujshebaev is

:56:13. > :56:19.not too impressed either. Certainly a hard man to please, always finding

:56:20. > :56:23.something in the detail. And Denmark get another goal straightaway,

:56:24. > :56:27.Morten Olsen again. The Danish attacks are so straightforward, they

:56:28. > :56:32.don't last very long, they just find someone, usually at nine metres, or

:56:33. > :56:38.then breaking through to six metres and it is in the back of the net. It

:56:39. > :56:44.is the Polish team really that are starting to get the running and the

:56:45. > :56:50.pace in the attacks going. They are going even deeper now, almost like a

:56:51. > :56:55.3-2- one with Mensah Larsen and Hansen and Toft with the same

:56:56. > :57:02.result, in a fast break, lovely dummy and the follow-up, Casper

:57:03. > :57:05.Mortensen. He plays for Hanover in Germany. That was the save that

:57:06. > :57:06.started the holding, Niklas Landin straight down the middle, no one

:57:07. > :57:21.with him. Nothing Wyszomirski could do about

:57:22. > :57:24.that. Poland 10-13 Denmark. Seven minutes and 20 seconds to go in the

:57:25. > :57:34.first half and Denmark with a 3-goal margin. Poland, offensive foul

:57:35. > :57:42.given. Rene Toft Hansen Lord. Now -- Rene Toft Hansen was flawed. It was

:57:43. > :57:46.Mishal Freiburg creating about, trying to flatten the defence,

:57:47. > :57:50.certainly flattered Rene Toft Hansen, not to the liking of the

:57:51. > :57:53.referee but Olsen comes on and Sondergaard at right back, who's got

:57:54. > :57:58.a decent shot on him, Sondergaard but is also a very good running

:57:59. > :58:03.player, takes players on, one on one and he's up against Bielecki with

:58:04. > :58:08.Jachlewski just to his right and Hansen again finding space and he is

:58:09. > :58:23.given far too much room by Kus. Here comes number three now, leeches

:58:24. > :58:25.keep, in his second Olympic Games. Played in the European Championships

:58:26. > :58:32.despite struggling with a bit of a wrist injury. -- Zebroski.

:58:33. > :58:40.The older of the two brothers comes on, replace them Syprzak and

:58:41. > :58:47.immediately, good effect, around the side of Hansen. -- replacing

:58:48. > :58:54.Syprzak. Nice play by the 37-year-old. Straight back to the

:58:55. > :59:01.bench. He is one of three players in the Poland team who have over 200

:59:02. > :59:10.internationals, the goalkeeper has 285 and Bielecki is on 250. A bit of

:59:11. > :59:13.a milestone today. Well, Hansen again, it's a walk in the park for

:59:14. > :59:23.him at the moment, and the defence need to sort out who is moving up

:59:24. > :59:28.wanted him. He was not even looking and Kus was worried about the line

:59:29. > :59:34.player, he hesitated and that cost him. Seven Denmark's 15 goals now

:59:35. > :59:43.have come from nine metres. That is how strong they are out there. Going

:59:44. > :59:48.in on the line. Michal Jurecki is working where Hansen was. He has

:59:49. > :59:55.stolen the ball again. Denmark flying forward and a good save!

:59:56. > :59:59.Wyszomirski making the stop as Lasse Svan, the top scorer for Denmark,

:00:00. > :00:03.was halted in his attack and now Poland will come forward with a bit

:00:04. > :00:08.of space. But the whistle goes, it was Krajewski trying to drive in.

:00:09. > :00:14.Hansen with a slap on his hand as he went through, I don't know if it is

:00:15. > :00:18.going to be a free throw. Trying to work for the moment near Hansen, who

:00:19. > :00:24.is in the strongest defenders. He's a fantastic attacking player and as

:00:25. > :00:27.a result, a defending specialist has come in and will move across and

:00:28. > :01:01.take it. Hansen takes over. says. Straight down the middle, it

:01:02. > :01:12.should have been bread and butter stuff. Niklas Landin Jacobsen is

:01:13. > :01:19.having a better time of it. Mads Mensah Larsen going in there. He is

:01:20. > :01:39.given an earful to 30 six. -- Krajewski. That could have been a

:01:40. > :01:51.goal for a six metres. It did not look as though Krajewski was

:01:52. > :01:55.expecting it. Here it is again. Henrik Toft Hansen throws him on the

:01:56. > :02:05.floor. It is going to be another free throw. Henrik Toft Hansen.

:02:06. > :02:23.Another free throw, another little slip on the way through from

:02:24. > :02:25.Krajewski. Fired into the top. Nothing that Niklas Landin Jacobsen

:02:26. > :02:28.could do about that one and the gap is back to two. Poland would love to

:02:29. > :02:33.get back level at the end of this first half. All comes the danger

:02:34. > :02:56.man, Morten Olsen. Niklas Landin Jacobsen tries to go through. Well

:02:57. > :03:01.place, down the middle. We have got a fumble at six metres and Denmark

:03:02. > :03:14.appear to have come through with a free throw.

:03:15. > :03:23.He is not minded to do too much. He came along from the wing. Niklas

:03:24. > :03:36.Landin Jacobsen out of position. Could not get his position and

:03:37. > :04:04.Daszek scores another goal. Starts the run-up.

:04:05. > :04:12.As we enter the last minute of the first half and Poland have done

:04:13. > :04:18.well. They went off the pace as Denmark pulled away but now they are

:04:19. > :04:24.back breathing down their neck. Krajewski trying to get some impetus

:04:25. > :04:41.going here. Penalty. Defending inside the area says the referee. It

:04:42. > :04:51.is Mads Mensah Larsen. A chance with 25 seconds left for Poland to draw

:04:52. > :04:58.level. Lijewski. One more chance for Denmark to go in front, then it is

:04:59. > :05:03.time for the half-time break. Down and across the shoulder. Seconds

:05:04. > :05:14.away and they are going to get a quick shot away. He falls awkwardly

:05:15. > :05:19.but he will not feel out right now, the adrenaline is running. Slow to

:05:20. > :05:32.come up, Michal Jurecki. He will be disappointed with that. -- a late

:05:33. > :05:36.flurry towards the end of the first half. It finishes here at half-time,

:05:37. > :05:54.Poland 15, Denmark 16th. Told you that handle would be good.

:05:55. > :05:59.Thank you for being with us this evening. It is that time of night

:06:00. > :06:05.when we are getting a lot of texts and tweets from everyone. There are

:06:06. > :06:14.still some people swimming in the sea, jumping in the waves, it is

:06:15. > :06:17.quite late night down here. It is nine o'clock, not too late, still

:06:18. > :06:22.the weather has actually improved, it was really windy earlier, but

:06:23. > :06:26.they are playing a bit of football down there and it is all very

:06:27. > :06:37.lovely. It is a beautiful Copacabana scene. , I have been told of by our

:06:38. > :06:48.Brazilian living in Britain that it is called copper. So many of you

:06:49. > :06:53.were disappointed, it is one of those weird things. There are people

:06:54. > :06:57.in the UK now tuning in just to see a bit of Antony Worrall Thompson

:06:58. > :07:03.doing circuit training but they are not here. Dan, are beautiful floor

:07:04. > :07:09.manager has scoured the beach and there is no sign of him. We thought

:07:10. > :07:14.there might be more circuit training elsewhere but there is nothing. He

:07:15. > :07:20.has gone entirely. There has been some more news about the bin on the

:07:21. > :07:32.beach. Back on the beach just behind me, -- Copacabinmen. Can you see at?

:07:33. > :07:47.There he is, surely that is unwise. That is never going to work. It is

:07:48. > :07:54.not a Copacabikerack! Summoner said in my ear something, but I cannot

:07:55. > :08:02.repeat it. Do not go into the sea with that, chief! I might have to

:08:03. > :08:06.dispatch done to talk him out of it. This is what Copacabana is all

:08:07. > :08:10.about, you will never be short of something to look at at our spot

:08:11. > :08:19.here and we certainly discover that over the last few days. There news I

:08:20. > :08:27.was going to bring you about the Copacabinmen, it was about the

:08:28. > :08:36.Orange bairns. Go on, son! Now he is up and running. I'm not sure that

:08:37. > :08:42.was entirely worth it. That is not a ball, that is one of the boys for

:08:43. > :08:49.the triathlon. Down there of the sand is a lot flatter and fluffy, he

:08:50. > :08:55.can bit of purchase. He can cycle right the way down Copacabana now.

:08:56. > :09:05.There we were laughing at him and clearly, he knows his stuff. He

:09:06. > :09:12.knows how it works down here. Now the binmen, look at the speed, that

:09:13. > :09:19.is the place to be. The kid is safe. There is a lovely shot of our bins

:09:20. > :09:25.there and one of the things we were talking about earlier, was the magic

:09:26. > :09:32.of the orange bin and asking if anyone in the UK has an orange then.

:09:33. > :09:41.Paula was asking if she could get one, bizarrely. Apparently Bedford

:09:42. > :09:49.has orange topped bins and so does Newport and there are bins in

:09:50. > :09:52.Scotland that are orange. Unconfirmed, there is the Rio

:09:53. > :09:59.version, they are full of coconuts. That lad on the bike is getting into

:10:00. > :10:04.every shot. Really himself. Someone put something on social media that I

:10:05. > :10:07.wanted to read to you, but unfortunately it has momentarily

:10:08. > :10:14.gone dead. It will come back to me later. We are not until two, but as

:10:15. > :10:23.long as the handball doesn't go on for ages, we will give you the last

:10:24. > :10:31.bit. It has gone dead. 3G has let me down. In one hour's time, Lutalo

:10:32. > :10:36.Muhammad goes in the gold medal match. He is a bronze medallist from

:10:37. > :10:42.four years ago as I keep trying to present these buttons and he is

:10:43. > :10:50.going for the gold medal in the tae kwon do later on. Look at him,

:10:51. > :10:55.tremendous pyjamas. Look at that. I got told off earlier by various

:10:56. > :11:01.viewers for wearing shoes on the beach, apparently that is not the

:11:02. > :11:06.done thing. Look at that, chasing his mother around. Watch out for the

:11:07. > :11:15.bins, little fellow. That is how you enjoy the beach. What a shot that

:11:16. > :11:22.is, we have had a red Moon, a kid on his bike, the Copacabinmen and a

:11:23. > :11:30.beautiful kid in pyjamas, walking hand-in-hand with his mother. Down

:11:31. > :11:37.the beach. Touching scenes. Now, something slightly more violent now,

:11:38. > :11:40.tae kwon do. Lutalo Muhammad is in the gold medal match and we will

:11:41. > :11:48.show you the other semifinal, see who gets certified him. Hold on. One

:11:49. > :12:07.more bit of action that I need to show you. Copacabubbles! Thank you

:12:08. > :12:18.for pointing that out to me. I will get in trouble again. Excellent

:12:19. > :12:34.bubbles there. Wonderful bubbles. Tae kwon do. The Tunisian is taking

:12:35. > :12:42.on Cisse from the Ivory Coast. The winner of this match will face

:12:43. > :12:46.Lutalo Muhammad in one hour's time. Let us watch this. He will be

:12:47. > :12:56.walking away with gold or silver. It is an electronic protector. But they

:12:57. > :13:01.will need to make sure that's the makes the connection. Pushing

:13:02. > :13:13.forward, Cisse. Locked into the kyong-go. Opening seconds and

:13:14. > :13:24.kyong-go straight up there. Does not want another one otherwise it is a

:13:25. > :13:36.point against. It is very much for Cisse at the moment he has a lot to

:13:37. > :13:42.do to try and subdue them. Tries a back pack of his own. A nice cheer

:13:43. > :13:49.for Cisse. Contrasting fortunes for both. That would be history made,

:13:50. > :13:55.wouldn't it. Big chance for these men. Not a great history at the

:13:56. > :14:02.moment, that is really saw one to the shin. We were talking about

:14:03. > :14:16.pads, they have got protective ankle parts as well. You need those. You

:14:17. > :14:23.need a year shin guards. They have got. You get a point and

:14:24. > :14:27.understandably, still he tries a punch and a back tech. Turning kept

:14:28. > :14:42.underneath. Just sizing each other out. I'm

:14:43. > :14:50.waiting for the mistake. Big punch, getting closer with that. Just how

:14:51. > :14:56.hard do you have to hit? Just on that punch, I think we are going to

:14:57. > :15:02.see a video replay or a corner judge conference. Here they come, onto the

:15:03. > :15:06.mat for a little discussion. We will see if we can have a little lesson

:15:07. > :15:27.in here. punch. Indeed. So that was

:15:28. > :15:36.retrospectively added on. Maybe the judges felt the power was there. The

:15:37. > :15:42.crowd are not too happy with it. I did ask the question. There is

:15:43. > :15:47.another point. A point this time for... Cisse, who then walks into a

:15:48. > :15:52.headshot. Excellent response from Oueslati. We questioned how much

:15:53. > :16:00.power was needed. It was obviously enough. Bringing this back into a

:16:01. > :16:06.close encounter. The headshot. Takes the gap, turns his back. Semifinal

:16:07. > :16:18.really starting to open up. Points going back and forth.

:16:19. > :16:24.You could be confused for thinking it is the Cisse arena, but this is

:16:25. > :16:30.the Carioca Arena 2 is the two points down.

:16:31. > :16:42.Entertaining combat. Fantastic semifinal, they are going for it.

:16:43. > :16:46.Oueslati did well, didn't he. He certainly did, you mentioned the

:16:47. > :16:56.response that was required from him. Landed the big punch. That is the

:16:57. > :16:59.one there. Good power behind that. The corner judges retrospectively

:17:00. > :17:21.adding a shot on here. The head contact.

:17:22. > :17:27.The men's under 80 kilograms semifinal. Oussama Oueslati of

:17:28. > :17:33.Tunisia against the Ivory Coast's Cheick Sallah Cisse. Tries a punch

:17:34. > :17:40.of his own there, Cisse. Gets purchase on it. Trying to use the

:17:41. > :17:50.front leg, a good push there. He's got Oueslati on the back foot. Very

:17:51. > :17:55.close. He does get the kyong-go doesn't see, the power, coming

:17:56. > :18:01.forwards all the time, forcing his opponent outside the area. Now he's

:18:02. > :18:05.gone down. Kyong-go. Was it a fall or a bowl? The referee says it was a

:18:06. > :18:17.poll, pulling himself back into this now. -- a

:18:18. > :18:24.can he sustained the intensity and the pressure? Oueslati little bit

:18:25. > :18:30.caught in the headlights, he caught Cisse in the head with a chop but

:18:31. > :18:37.he's gone quiet since. Check that, because he scores. 5-3 now. It can

:18:38. > :18:48.all change very quickly, all within a split second. Still got a chance.

:18:49. > :18:52.Suzie has got to come forward. Just to explain about that reverse kick.

:18:53. > :18:56.That hook kick around the back, put your leg down, try to fire it around

:18:57. > :19:03.the back. Firing warning under the guard. Suso. The flexibility of that

:19:04. > :19:07.hooking motion inside the clinch as we call it, when they come into the

:19:08. > :19:12.clinch, he likes to step around and flick his laid-back, he makes a lot

:19:13. > :19:15.of flicks. It's going to take something special to keep Cheick

:19:16. > :19:19.Sallah Cisse away, as he comes forward and tries to score again. An

:19:20. > :19:34.engrossing battle. Slowing down slightly.

:19:35. > :19:47.They both looked tired to me. I agree with you on that one. A lot of

:19:48. > :19:51.energy expended here. You can tell, can't you, the power of the kicks.

:19:52. > :19:56.It's just not there. And not getting out of the way fast enough either.

:19:57. > :20:03.Getting back into the game. Cheick Sallah Cisse... Closed that punch as

:20:04. > :20:09.well, he's going to be a massive swing. Is it another kyong-go? No,

:20:10. > :20:13.it's not get away with that one. Oueslati must have stayed in the

:20:14. > :20:17.ring. At the end of this second round what a battle. What a battle.

:20:18. > :20:22.Yeah, he's coming forward, not going to give this up easily. Cheick

:20:23. > :20:36.Sallah Cisse still has a chance here. Contrasting fortunes in the

:20:37. > :20:40.Tunisian corner. Mohammed, the coach, is done enough to chase

:20:41. > :20:45.something here. Oueslati just went a little bit quiet there. He did, he

:20:46. > :20:49.looks that little bit worried to me, little bit rattled, especially

:20:50. > :20:54.coming into this last two minutes. Because we've seen matches won and

:20:55. > :20:58.lost in this last two minutes, so he has to be very, very careful.

:20:59. > :21:02.Because Cheick Sallah Cisse is a man that comes forwards. He's going to

:21:03. > :21:10.really take it to him in these last two minutes. It is last two minutes

:21:11. > :21:20.to get into an Olympic final. They will know that Lutalo Muhammad of

:21:21. > :21:29.Great Britain is waiting for them. A pulsating contest. The men's under

:21:30. > :21:33.80 kilograms semifinal. Oussama Oueslati against Cheick Sallah

:21:34. > :21:38.Cisse. Just checking that all the water was wiped off of the body

:21:39. > :21:44.protector. The second time he's done that.

:21:45. > :21:51.Little bit of gamesmanship, I think, just a tad. Just getting a little

:21:52. > :21:56.rest. To summon up the energy. A minute rest between rounds. One

:21:57. > :22:00.minute and ten for Cisse. He's got himself back into it. Almost takes

:22:01. > :22:04.their head kick, it hits the head guard. The head guard is, of course,

:22:05. > :22:10.the domain of the censors. If it hits the face, they can protest. I

:22:11. > :22:18.think we're going to see exactly that. It did hit the head guard. Not

:22:19. > :22:26.the faced. So you can't protest. -- not the face. Opportunity missed.

:22:27. > :22:34.It's as we were. I guess that's tactical as well, as to when you do

:22:35. > :22:38.actually put a protest in. Correct use of the card so important for the

:22:39. > :22:45.coaches. As we spin around the Carioca Arena here, thoughts

:22:46. > :22:50.spinning around the heads of both fighters, they know an Olympic final

:22:51. > :22:56.is at stake. Trying to step in with the back gate there. Oussama

:22:57. > :23:02.Oueslati. This couldn't be any closer. They are both absolutely

:23:03. > :23:09.wiped out, they really are, so, so tired. You can see that you can feel

:23:10. > :23:12.that. There is a push the attempt. Double from Oueslati, tries to go

:23:13. > :23:18.around. That little hook around the corner. He's been around a few

:23:19. > :23:27.corners in his time. Cheick Sallah Cisse saw that coming. He sees it

:23:28. > :23:31.off. Still a kyong-go hanging against him. This is where the hours

:23:32. > :23:36.of conditioning that you put in come in. The semifinal of an Olympic

:23:37. > :23:41.Games. It can make the difference, can't it? Especially in this last 30

:23:42. > :23:47.seconds. Drying with a big power shot. It is Oueslati, he manages to

:23:48. > :23:52.score. A punch again from the man from Tunisia. We said about

:23:53. > :23:57.conditioning, the psychology important, the physiology, too, the

:23:58. > :24:01.effort put in here. We enter the last ten seconds. An Olympic final

:24:02. > :24:03.at stake. It's the power shot from Cheick Sallah Cisse. Jack's the

:24:04. > :24:17.clock. Can he hang on here? Cheick Sallah Cisse has got one foot

:24:18. > :24:25.in the final. Does he step away too soon? No, he's been given it. The

:24:26. > :24:28.kyong-go doesn't come through because Cheick Sallah Cisse is into

:24:29. > :24:41.the Olympic final. Cheick Sallah Cisse of the Ivory

:24:42. > :24:47.Coast will take on Lutalo Muhammad in... What are we now? 50 minutes

:24:48. > :24:51.time, quarter past to your time in the UK, you'll be able to see that

:24:52. > :24:54.live on BBC One. We'll take you back to the handball. We've missed a

:24:55. > :24:58.couple of minutes of the second half. This is live. We were watching

:24:59. > :25:04.that kid on the bike. This is Poland against Denmark, the semifinal. It

:25:05. > :25:07.was 16-16 at half-time, if only missed a of goals. Paul Bray and

:25:08. > :25:23.Jack Nicholson talked us the conclusion.

:25:24. > :25:34.Hanson back on again. The pass wasn't particularly good. Olsen

:25:35. > :25:38.coming around to benefit too late. That's an attacking cow, what a

:25:39. > :25:44.shame, could have bypassed him completely and gone to the wing.

:25:45. > :25:54.Straight into the defender. Olsen getting frustrated. Any movement was

:25:55. > :26:01.going to bring the attacking foul. Poland a gold of the good. 18-17

:26:02. > :26:05.here. -- a gold of the good. As they try to defeat Ben Martin, who seems

:26:06. > :26:09.to have the better of the first half. Poland looking to take a two

:26:10. > :26:14.goal advantage. -- try to defeat Denmark. They have brought on all of

:26:15. > :26:18.their available players. No one in goal at the moment. Good cover on

:26:19. > :26:23.the line by Denmark on this occasion, nearly took the ball from

:26:24. > :26:33.his hand, Lijewski. Wrong-footed, touched a defender. Landing,

:26:34. > :26:38.couldn't correct himself. Unlucky for Lijewski, no own golden

:26:39. > :26:44.handball. Now Denmark have to make this work for them because in

:26:45. > :26:48.defence they do have the overlap. Well, why bother moving the ball

:26:49. > :26:55.around when you can just give it to Mikkel Hansen? Two going on the

:26:56. > :27:03.line, Olsen is there trying to help, no one coming up to him. After

:27:04. > :27:08.missing the opening exchanges of the second half, Mikkel Hansen comes on

:27:09. > :27:14.and find the back of the net for his first goal of the second 30 minutes.

:27:15. > :27:25.Now, here come Poland once more. Inside two Krajewski. It's a fumble

:27:26. > :27:30.there, given away, easy as you like. Surely Denmark will draw level...

:27:31. > :27:37.What a save that is! It was Casper Mortensen, who looked destined to

:27:38. > :27:45.draw the Danes level. Quick breakaway into Mortensen. But the

:27:46. > :27:48.leg up, went into the closing gap. Much too quick, the goalkeeper

:27:49. > :27:54.committed himself quite early, but he already made the decision and

:27:55. > :27:59.blasted a shot, tenth save, 50% save rate for Wyszomirski. A lesson, hang

:28:00. > :28:05.in the air a little longer. He had the hide. Poland come back again. A

:28:06. > :28:09.let off for them. Lijewski tries to go all the way through and wins the

:28:10. > :28:16.penalty. The gap was there but he has failed in the act of shooting by

:28:17. > :28:18.Christians. Who is heading off to Magdeburg after the games. -- by

:28:19. > :28:35.Mads Christiansen. Both sides being wasteful with their

:28:36. > :28:43.shooting. Jurkiewicz shooting very quickly committees made the

:28:44. > :28:47.goalkeeper committed himself early. It remained Poland 19-18 Denmark

:28:48. > :28:55.after two very good opportunities. For either side. Olsen lasered into

:28:56. > :28:58.Mads Christiansen. Almost intercepted as Poland push-up to

:28:59. > :29:10.make those deals. All the way around. A two minute suspension. A

:29:11. > :29:15.very frustrated Jachlewski. Causing problems with one of those darting

:29:16. > :29:19.runs. Pushed in midair. Always frowned on. He will get an enforced

:29:20. > :29:29.break. The 31-year-old who plays for the champions in his country. Five

:29:30. > :29:40.defenders spaced on the wings, playing very deep. Why did he not go

:29:41. > :29:44.down through the middle? UNIX another fantastic save and the

:29:45. > :29:50.coach, Gudmundur Gudmundsson, heading has hands, what do we have

:29:51. > :29:54.to do to concentrate in attack? It's good goalkeeping error is not

:29:55. > :30:04.exceptional goalkeeping. They are rushing their shots. Wyszomirski,

:30:05. > :30:10.all credit to him, stayed focus. -- focused. With nine minutes gone,

:30:11. > :30:19.Poland are down to six players, no goalkeeper in there at the moment.

:30:20. > :30:23.Mortensen frustrated with the reaction of Lijewski. One minute

:30:24. > :30:28.left on the suspension for Poland, in no huge rush to have a goal at

:30:29. > :30:35.goal. They have to swap back in the goalkeeper. Trying to feed that in.

:30:36. > :30:38.It was never going to get their from Jurkiewicz. Passed around the back

:30:39. > :30:42.of two defenders but they are not even standing in a line. It is a

:30:43. > :30:46.giveaway. Just when they can't afford to do it. They still have a

:30:47. > :30:52.long attack here, Denmark, against a short-handed Polish team having to

:30:53. > :30:56.some readjustments. Syprzak goes wide, Lijewski in the wrong place.

:30:57. > :31:02.Olsen moves left, going in on the line for Hansen. He does enough to

:31:03. > :31:07.put the block on. Hansen goes in and no one picks him up again. Ten

:31:08. > :31:09.minutes gone in the second half, Poland 19-19 Denmark. Little bit of

:31:10. > :31:24.a scrappy second half. If you give Hansen that kind of

:31:25. > :31:29.space, you will get punished. Only five defenders and a goalkeeper,

:31:30. > :31:36.what can you do? With the danger for Hansen, they were both at six

:31:37. > :31:44.metres, it just means a lot of movement at the back and that is a

:31:45. > :31:50.push on the way in. Lijewski. Moves back to take the free throw. He lost

:31:51. > :32:07.his left eye in a freak accident in 2010. It has not deterred him little

:32:08. > :32:09.bit. Morten Olsen is back on again. Henrik Toft Hansen plays with his

:32:10. > :32:26.brother in Germany. Good block. On this occasion,

:32:27. > :32:36.working out well, Syprzak has the right to build for it. They are

:32:37. > :32:47.coming again. The referee says nothing. He picks up technically his

:32:48. > :32:55.12th save. Poland looking once more to try and find the lead again.

:32:56. > :33:03.Seven goals in the 12 minutes we have had so far in the second half,

:33:04. > :33:07.not hugely high-scoring. There is the long shot, rattles the post.

:33:08. > :33:22.Coming a long way over, right into the line of Wisniewski. Christiansen

:33:23. > :33:29.at right back is also now down the middle. He has to do that drive down

:33:30. > :33:39.the line to create space for Hansen. Kus pushes up and goes in with

:33:40. > :33:47.Morten Olsen. It was scored by Christiansen. Denmark are back in

:33:48. > :33:54.front. Nothing that Wyszomirski could do. Another goal for

:33:55. > :33:58.Christiansen. 70% conversion rate for Poland, 54% for Denmark and you

:33:59. > :34:03.could argue they should be a little bit further clear in this match with

:34:04. > :34:09.the amount of shots they have had. 37 compared to 27 for Poland. Ten

:34:10. > :34:15.more shots, you should have had six or seven more goals. That will be a

:34:16. > :34:19.throw in for the corner. Their attacks have been stopped start,

:34:20. > :34:26.they do not last long, they do not involve big movements for the team.

:34:27. > :34:31.The block there from Henrik Toft Hansen. The Polish team have taken

:34:32. > :34:37.longer on the build-up. Running into the static defender and wanting the

:34:38. > :34:46.ball back. Eventually, they slow things down and the referee is

:34:47. > :34:52.telling him to hurry up. Rather dirty look there from Mortensen. 11

:34:53. > :34:57.turnovers, Poland, and they are coming thick and fast, a lot of the

:34:58. > :35:02.stakes by the Polish team who have lost their concentration and are in

:35:03. > :35:07.danger of slipping. From the Denmark team, not the most attractive

:35:08. > :35:15.handball at the moment. If you add those 11 turnovers, you are looking

:35:16. > :35:23.at an awful lot of giving away possession. Olsen looks around as if

:35:24. > :35:30.to say, but I scored! No luck on that one. Steep defence again. The

:35:31. > :35:35.line player waits to come into, he does not stand there, he waits on

:35:36. > :35:42.the side and runs in at just the right moments. Poland's woes

:35:43. > :35:53.continue. A two minute suspension has been given. He swings onto the

:35:54. > :35:58.floor. He points to the terms and Lijewski gets her right ear full. I

:35:59. > :36:05.think he is finished now. No he is not. He is following him up and down

:36:06. > :36:12.the bench, relentlessly. Hansen will have a bit of space. His run was

:36:13. > :36:18.very long on the side. He nods -- needed to cut in a bit more sharply

:36:19. > :36:23.but it is not his style. He has got these long straight runs going into

:36:24. > :36:30.the wing. Tries to put it back in the middle, the referee gives him

:36:31. > :36:38.some respite. You can have the free throw, you were purged. Olsen is

:36:39. > :36:49.causing the problems. Svan is so reliable with his shooting. Only one

:36:50. > :36:53.goal so far from four attempts from Lasse Svan and that is another

:36:54. > :37:05.couple of shots from Denmark that do not find the back of the net. 51%

:37:06. > :37:19.conversion rate from shots on goal. And it is nice play. The defenders

:37:20. > :37:31.do push up onto him, Syprzak. He is looking absolutely the other way

:37:32. > :37:47.there, amazing stuff. Different style to the Toft brothers. He is

:37:48. > :37:53.club team-mates with Syprzak. Both competing for that space in

:37:54. > :37:57.Barcelona. They have got quite a job on their hands because the other

:37:58. > :38:11.player there is a big star. We are past the halfway point, it is

:38:12. > :38:17.20 all. Denmark have had more chances than Poland. A dive in front

:38:18. > :38:22.Toft does not get him anywhere. All in trying to find a little bit of

:38:23. > :38:30.space and there goes the hand in the air and it went up. It went up as

:38:31. > :38:34.Lijewski had the ball. It is six passes for Poland before they need

:38:35. > :38:44.to start to do something with it -- Jurkiewicz. Luckily for Toft, he had

:38:45. > :38:54.a defender behind to save the penalty. We had a discussion, it is

:38:55. > :39:00.the yellow card for the coach, Gudmundsson. Too strong for the

:39:01. > :39:03.keeper to keep out. The shot from Olympics Aquatics Stadium goes

:39:04. > :39:20.straight through. He can shoot it out over 100 kilometres per hour. --

:39:21. > :39:29.the shot from Bielecki. Olsen tries to drive it aired. It is 21 all with

:39:30. > :39:38.12 and a half minutes left in this Olympic semifinal. Nothing that

:39:39. > :39:51.third -- Wyszomirski can do about that. Hansen goes off. Not a huge

:39:52. > :39:55.issue for the Danes. Poland again try a 5- to attack, the goalkeeper

:39:56. > :40:02.is out and they have fumbled the ball and there is no keeper. Larsen

:40:03. > :40:05.has missed a chance. We have seen a few of these and the team is getting

:40:06. > :40:22.used to this new rule. Back in, Noddesbo and he will have a bit of

:40:23. > :40:30.room with that deep defence. Svan going back again. Helped back to his

:40:31. > :40:42.feet and a bit of not required again. Gives him the smallest of

:40:43. > :40:49.pushes but it is enough. Olsen who plays for Hanover in Germany, he is

:40:50. > :40:57.a bit of a journeyman. He is now back in Hanover. Svan stretches the

:40:58. > :41:04.gap, Miss connected but he was being held on the way end. Olsen is so

:41:05. > :41:14.industrious. You have to watch him. Svan is free and again. Thwarted.

:41:15. > :41:19.Not one of his better days. His 75% success rate in the competition so

:41:20. > :41:27.far taking a bit of a dent here, I am afraid for him. One from four

:41:28. > :41:31.only in this match. Great save by Wyszomirski, came out quick, get up

:41:32. > :41:44.close, do not get him much side to the goal. Hansen trying to push him

:41:45. > :41:58.back. They push up, that is a mistake. Brilliant save, he read it,

:41:59. > :42:11.he saw the risk. Through himself a long way out. A bit of a stop start,

:42:12. > :42:18.no idea who was going to win. It is just down to small little actions,

:42:19. > :42:24.no big sweeping manoeuvres. The success rate for Poland, 70%, a

:42:25. > :42:30.throw in from the corner, seems to be a delayed reaction from the

:42:31. > :42:41.referees. Meanwhile, we will see it again. They are below par, they are

:42:42. > :42:49.on 67%. Poland were lower coming into this game, but today slightly

:42:50. > :42:56.playing above. Syprzak is working hard creating space. Ten minutes to

:42:57. > :43:01.play and he may be wondering, do I need a team time out? They have a

:43:02. > :43:10.couple left each. Three for each team in a match. You cannot use two

:43:11. > :43:16.in the last few minutes. Probably both coaches are wondering if they

:43:17. > :43:26.need to adjust. That is another attacking foul, Daszek waiting for

:43:27. > :43:32.the collision. We have another problem and looks like it might be

:43:33. > :43:40.on Polish side. Both benches have now been yellow carded. Still

:43:41. > :43:54.remonstrating, he was unhappy, thought there should have been a two

:43:55. > :43:59.minute suspension. And that is a 13th turnover for Poland as they

:44:00. > :44:02.accumulate. It is for the assistant coach for Poland who was given that

:44:03. > :44:12.yellow card and then Denmark try and come through. It will be a corner.

:44:13. > :44:18.It was Jurkiewicz who managed to make the block. It is 6-5 in terms

:44:19. > :44:23.of the second half here, only 11 goals in the first 11 minutes of the

:44:24. > :44:26.second half. Now we have a team time-out called by Denmark with just

:44:27. > :45:18.under nine minutes left on the clock.

:45:19. > :45:25.So, that was fairly direct, I think, from Talant Dujshebaev using his

:45:26. > :45:32.best Polish to convey his frustration to his players. For

:45:33. > :45:37.Denmark, their conversion rate of 49%, even if it was 65%, which is

:45:38. > :45:43.still less than Poland, less than their average... With the amount of

:45:44. > :45:47.shots they've had they would have 28 goals and a seven goal margin, it

:45:48. > :45:51.illustrates the ineffectiveness of what they've managed to do today in

:45:52. > :46:03.front of goal. There is another one, saved by Wyszomirski. " a few cases

:46:04. > :46:09.it has been a case of poor shooting. Take nothing away from Wyszomirski

:46:10. > :46:14.who has made some fantastic saves. Daszek, surely it touched his feet.

:46:15. > :46:21.Wyszomirski tries to get the crowd going, that'll work. Again, stood at

:46:22. > :46:30.his near post, he'd be disappointed if that beat him. So, they try again

:46:31. > :46:36.with this 5- to attack. We've seen the Swedes do it. We've seen the

:46:37. > :46:42.Germans do it occasionally. Still a little bit of uncharted territory

:46:43. > :46:50.with the new regulation. It paid dividends, such a defence into the

:46:51. > :46:57.middle and Wisniewski scores from the wing. The Danes respond

:46:58. > :47:04.immediately. Courtesy of Mads Christiansen. The space just opens

:47:05. > :47:11.up for him, a little nudge from Rene Toft Hansen just here to make sure

:47:12. > :47:17.that Kus wasn't in the position he wanted to be in. It's 22-22 with

:47:18. > :47:38.seven minutes to go. Back to the 5- to attack. Syprzak on the line. It's

:47:39. > :47:43.more tiring for the polls. There are a couple of players out, which puts

:47:44. > :47:48.players on correction could put pressure on the other back players.

:47:49. > :47:53.That's the danger of playing 5-2 and putting all of your outfield players

:47:54. > :48:02.upfield, you can see the frustration from Wyszomirski as he tries to run

:48:03. > :48:12.back on there in the yellow. A goal for London, his first of the

:48:13. > :48:16.tournament, second for his country. -- for Landin. If you live the goal

:48:17. > :48:20.wide open sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you have

:48:21. > :48:24.to work on the basis you will score more from it than you will concede.

:48:25. > :48:29.They've brought it back to the more traditional 5-1, given up on it.

:48:30. > :48:33.Good depth from the defence from the Danes, who almost did 3-3 defence,

:48:34. > :48:38.three players up on a nine metre line, three at the back. It means

:48:39. > :48:42.the central defence at the back is very busy, especially with a line

:48:43. > :48:50.player like Syprzak, all two metres and eight of him, trying to Ukip an

:48:51. > :49:19.eye on him. Team time-out. -- trying to keep an eye on him.

:49:20. > :49:31.Well, that told him! Poor old Jurkiewicz getting an earful.

:49:32. > :49:35.That'll continue. Because that is his club coach. Very angry with him,

:49:36. > :49:39.feeling defensively more work is required. Here we go, getting into

:49:40. > :49:57.money time. Away with a little under five

:49:58. > :50:02.minutes to go in the Future Arena, the Olympic semifinal, Poland or

:50:03. > :50:11.Denmark will be progressing. There is a long shot into the back the

:50:12. > :50:24.net, from Bielecki again. Took two defenders out. Bielecki is running

:50:25. > :50:36.up. He's taken out both Mensah Larsen and Toft. That goal from

:50:37. > :50:40.Poland brings them level. Out again to Mikkel Hansen... The whistle

:50:41. > :50:47.goes, looked as if he was about to lose possession, but the foul scored

:50:48. > :50:53.against Daszek. Christiansen. Mensah Larsen. Just waiting. Christiansen,

:50:54. > :51:00.no real player presence on the line at the moment. In goes Toft. Now,

:51:01. > :51:07.Mensah Larsen is in for Hansen. Deflected wide. Corner. The

:51:08. > :51:14.referee's armies upward. The passive play call is on. At least one pass.

:51:15. > :51:20.Six are allowed. A rather rushed shot by Christiansen. Wyszomirski

:51:21. > :51:25.covered comfortably from that kind of angle. Hoping there was enough

:51:26. > :51:30.block on the line but there certainly wasn't. And Wyszomirski

:51:31. > :51:38.has played superbly, 17 saves, 53% success rate. Conceding that goal

:51:39. > :51:48.earlier. They are going to try and revert back with a fight attack.

:51:49. > :51:55.Bielecki looking for the gap. They've taken the extra play-off.

:51:56. > :52:05.Less than four minutes remaining, this game is tied. Semifinal at Rio

:52:06. > :52:13.2016's handball competition. Syprzak has put Poland back in front again.

:52:14. > :52:17.Fifth goal for the tall line player. Off go Mensah Larsen and

:52:18. > :52:26.Christiansen. As Gudmundsson looks to change things at the back. An

:52:27. > :52:35.come Olsen and Sondergaard. They need energy to break down this very

:52:36. > :52:38.deep defence. Krajewski the play at the front. He follows Hansen

:52:39. > :52:43.everywhere. Looking for the wing but there is no space. The referee's

:52:44. > :52:48.armies going to go up soon. Taking a long time. Olsen says his arm was

:52:49. > :52:55.hit. They needn't have worried, the whistle has gone for the free throw.

:52:56. > :52:59.The last team time-out called for Denmark. Anxious moments here with

:53:00. > :53:51.three minutes to go. The Polish are leading by one.

:53:52. > :54:00.A little rallying cry at the end, slightly more composed Dujshebaev.

:54:01. > :54:03.This has been a pretty handball match by any stretch of the

:54:04. > :54:08.imagination, but certainly plenty of drama and excitement to come here

:54:09. > :54:13.with the scores so close. Here we go, inside the last three minutes.

:54:14. > :54:19.Both of these sides looking for their first Olympic final. And on

:54:20. > :54:26.comes Sondergaard. Fires it into the back of the net. Both looking for

:54:27. > :54:35.their best handball result since the 1980s. And the 1970s for Poland.

:54:36. > :54:40.Poland felt they should have made it through in London, to have won a

:54:41. > :54:51.medal, but ended up losing out in the knockout stages. Sorry, Beijing,

:54:52. > :54:58.I should say. Here we go. Jurkiewicz is there, two line players in again.

:54:59. > :55:05.Going to make the swap back again. No Bielecki for the moment. Bearing

:55:06. > :55:10.in for the last push. The point is to bring someone like him aback when

:55:11. > :55:21.you have 5-2 defence. Martyn has a decent shot. Bielecki's shot.

:55:22. > :55:25.Passive play being called. Juggled the ball, almost trying to grab it.

:55:26. > :55:30.In the end it's taken from him. The clock has been stopped. They need to

:55:31. > :55:37.swap the ball, it's picked up debris. 96 seconds, then, left on

:55:38. > :55:42.the block, Poland 24-24 Denmark. You have no idea which way this one is

:55:43. > :55:48.going to go, I would have given the edge to the Danes after 25 minutes

:55:49. > :55:52.of the match, but since then it's been absolutely neck and neck. Very

:55:53. > :55:58.low scoring second-half as well by just 17 goals in it, to put in

:55:59. > :56:02.perspective, 31 in the first half. Denmark themselves resort to 5-2, no

:56:03. > :56:09.goalkeeper. Both Toft Brothers are in there. And looking to make sure

:56:10. > :56:14.they get a goal here. A goal at the other end would really put them

:56:15. > :56:18.under pressure. Sondergaard. The Toft brothers trying to create space

:56:19. > :56:22.at the back to go through, very untidy by Denmark, not throwing the

:56:23. > :56:25.ball, it's very much Hansen backwards and forwards trying to go

:56:26. > :56:31.through the same space. It's fine if you are going to move it quickly to

:56:32. > :56:37.the wing. Yes! It's a penalty. Defending inside the area. The clock

:56:38. > :56:52.has been stopped with 49... 39 seconds remaining. Olsen, somehow,

:56:53. > :57:00.managed to pass it around the back of Henrik Toft They push by Kus.

:57:01. > :57:06.This is a chance for Denmark to take a one goal advantage. As we see

:57:07. > :57:10.many, many times, even if they score here, Poland will come forward very

:57:11. > :57:16.quickly. Up the steps Mikkel Hansen. Scores! Now it's up to Poland to try

:57:17. > :57:20.and pull themselves level in the final 30 seconds of the match. If

:57:21. > :57:25.they don't score with this attack, they are not going to be going

:57:26. > :57:29.through to the Olympic final. It's going to be extra time otherwise, if

:57:30. > :57:34.they can score the equaliser, they have called team time-out. A chance

:57:35. > :57:38.for one last play year for Poland to salvage extra time in this game or

:57:39. > :58:13.they will be going out of the final at Rio 2016.

:58:14. > :58:21.Nerves of steel required is now for Poland. Someone has to take the

:58:22. > :58:26.responsibility of taking the shot I am level this game, as Hansen has

:58:27. > :58:30.done so often for Denmark. -- taking the shop to try and level. 24

:58:31. > :58:39.seconds left on the block in the Olympic semifinal. -- on the clock.

:58:40. > :58:42.The referee's whistle blows, Poland have to score here, otherwise they

:58:43. > :58:47.won't be going through to the final and it'll be a bronze medal match

:58:48. > :58:50.for them. There is the shot, it's saved! Free-throw given. They want

:58:51. > :58:56.the clock stopped as quickly as possible. 13 seconds left. They've

:58:57. > :59:01.still got one more chance. Two minute suspension by Henrik to. This

:59:02. > :59:08.is what it was for. Grabbing the shirt of Jurkiewicz. He was quite a

:59:09. > :59:12.way out from goal. He was, but clearly going for the gap, a block

:59:13. > :59:17.on the line he would have gone into. He tried to shoot but from further

:59:18. > :59:24.out than he wanted. A panel play, the winners have to stay deep,

:59:25. > :59:32.spread it wide. -- power-play. Don't get bogged down into the wing. He

:59:33. > :59:40.scored, unbelievable! Daszek! One of the smallest players on the court,

:59:41. > :59:48.from a terrible angle, he has beaten Landin. It went pear shaped there.

:59:49. > :59:55.It was far too wide for him, and somehow, finds the top corner.

:59:56. > :00:00.Unbelievable! Denmark thought they done enough to force the ball wide

:00:01. > :00:04.on the pass will stop he turns back, he could do nothing else. Three

:00:05. > :00:08.seconds left. He's kept them in the game.

:00:09. > :00:15.I can't believe this has happened, a second night on the trot, we've come

:00:16. > :00:19.to the end of our evening on BBC Four. Very sorry about that. I'd

:00:20. > :00:22.like to stay up and continue to watch this match between Poland and

:00:23. > :00:28.Denmark, which is level once again. It continues on the BBC sport

:00:29. > :00:32.website and BBC sport app. Ten minutes of added time, five minutes

:00:33. > :00:36.each way. Hopefully it'll match the drama of the Norway and Russia game

:00:37. > :00:41.we showed you yesterday. And finish off today. Here is a promise. On BBC

:00:42. > :00:45.for tomorrow we'll show you the last ten minutes of this match to see who

:00:46. > :00:52.makes it through to potentially play for the gold medal. That's it for

:00:53. > :00:56.another night, it's on the website right now, and on the BBC sports

:00:57. > :01:01.app. That is it for us for another night. We have to say hello to

:01:02. > :01:05.Lauren and Ross behind me, they are from Upminster, enjoying themselves

:01:06. > :01:11.on Copacabana. To let you know, exactly what is happening on BBC One

:01:12. > :01:17.after we finished, 2:15am, Lutalo Muhammad fights in the tae kwon do,

:01:18. > :01:22.Usain Bolt is on at 2:30am on BBC One, only half an hour to wait for

:01:23. > :01:27.Usain Bolt. Trying to do the triple triple. His won the 100 metres, won

:01:28. > :01:31.200 metres, can he do the relay? We'll be back on the beach tomorrow.

:01:32. > :01:36.It's sad to say this, our last ever show on BBC Four from the beach.

:01:37. > :01:40.Coverage on Sunday but it's in the Olympic Park. This is the last one

:01:41. > :01:44.tomorrow we will be on the beach. It's been fun, can't promise you a
