developing into a very attritional struggle.

:00:00.:00:08.

Sweden, dominating the corner count. Deeper this time from Asllani. Seger

:00:09.:00:17.

was waiting. Dahlkvist through the crowd! And Schult is able to make a

:00:18.:00:20.

comfortable save. She was having a shot through all

:00:21.:00:32.

the players, hoping shot was unsighted. -- hoping Schult was

:00:33.:00:37.

unsighted. Maier getting forward once again.

:00:38.:00:54.

Mittag was almost on the end of that. Samuelsson with an important

:00:55.:01:01.

header away, now Asllani. Behringer is penalised. This was a foul from

:01:02.:01:10.

Behringer. She has had an excellent tournament though. So experienced.

:01:11.:01:19.

Top goal-scorer, Isaac, as well. Five goals so far, three in her last

:01:20.:01:26.

three games. For a midfielder, that's not bad. Usually you expect

:01:27.:01:34.

Anja Mittag to dominate the goal-scoring charts. She's got a

:01:35.:01:39.

couple, but at the moment Behringer is overshadowing her. Now Samuelsson

:01:40.:01:49.

on the overlap. Kemme is a very durable defender.

:01:50.:01:59.

When these sides met in the World Cup last year, in the round of 16,

:02:00.:02:11.

Germany won 4-1 on that occasion. Celia Sasic scored a couple of

:02:12.:02:14.

goals. Now of course, she has retired. Support from Asllani.

:02:15.:02:21.

Germany managed to scramble the ball clear.

:02:22.:02:35.

Taking the aerial route. Bartusiak will have to deal with this.

:02:36.:02:51.

Sembrant winning the ball in the area gain.

:02:52.:02:57.

There's no doubt here Germany are full. They are finding it very

:02:58.:03:06.

difficult to get the ball down and really impose themselves on Sweden.

:03:07.:03:15.

But it's a warm evening. Can Sweden match the intensity of this

:03:16.:03:16.

workrate? Krahn will get there before

:03:17.:03:31.

Jakobsson. It's usually Germany physically can dominate teams, but

:03:32.:03:35.

Sweden are just as physical as they are, just as aggressive in the

:03:36.:03:39.

tackle. You can see when the Germans get over the halfway line and Sweden

:03:40.:03:44.

press, they press with intent, to win the ball.

:03:45.:03:50.

Behringer has won the corner. Seger with the challenge.

:03:51.:03:58.

Caroline Seger, taking the Captain's role, organising.

:03:59.:04:12.

It's already looking like the sort of game that could be settled by a

:04:13.:04:16.

minor detail. Behringer's corner, Marozsan, well,

:04:17.:04:30.

it was the right idea, but slightly off with the execution. She's got

:04:31.:04:34.

the ability to score goals from there as well. I think they've

:04:35.:04:39.

probably looked at how Sweden defend corners very well, so maybe try

:04:40.:04:42.

something different. Another day, that might have gone in.

:04:43.:05:01.

She has clearly done her homework here. If they allow Behringer to

:05:02.:05:08.

have the ball, then they are plugging the gaps had of her, so

:05:09.:05:12.

it's very difficult to pick out her team-mate. -- they are plugging the

:05:13.:05:14.

gaps ahead of her. Sembrant. That's where you need in

:05:15.:05:30.

the centre forwards to stretch the play a bit, whether it's out wide,

:05:31.:05:35.

or as far forward as you can, to try to create a bit of space or a few

:05:36.:05:40.

gaps in between. Given away by Kemme. They managed to get the ball

:05:41.:05:45.

across, but she was really looking for Asllani to be waiting. Nobody

:05:46.:05:53.

could be keeping up with her. She wants to drive, she wants to

:05:54.:05:56.

dribble. She gets the ball across but there's not another player. The

:05:57.:06:01.

Swedish colours in the box. They do have a corner.

:06:02.:06:10.

Lotta Schelin will be one of the targets. Fischer and Sembrant

:06:11.:06:14.

rumbling forward now. The gain from Asllani, fisted away

:06:15.:06:36.

by Schult. Sweden still have it, Fischer. Now Asllani, neatly turns

:06:37.:06:40.

away from Mittag. That's a good cross. Jakobsson's shot, Sembrant

:06:41.:06:46.

again, really good chance for Sweden. Schough, beyond Marozsan,

:06:47.:06:56.

and Germany escape. That's another chance for Sweden. There's been so

:06:57.:07:01.

many clear-cut chances for both teams and that's something at

:07:02.:07:04.

half-time has to be said, they have to be more clinical. When you get

:07:05.:07:08.

that chance, it's easy to say up here, lots of pressure, it's a final

:07:09.:07:12.

situation, these are good, good players and they'll be disappointed.

:07:13.:07:23.

In mitigation, you could say the Swedish chances are maybe falling to

:07:24.:07:29.

the wrong players. But for Germany, Anja Mittag will still be wondering

:07:30.:07:32.

just how she failed to score. Sweden may have entered the

:07:33.:08:00.

competition via the back door, but they are justifying their inclusion

:08:01.:08:01.

at the moment. Schelin ahead of her. Bartusiak cuts

:08:02.:08:08.

it out well. They eventually find Dabritz, who

:08:09.:08:41.

turns away from Samuelsson. There always seems to be a Swedish player,

:08:42.:08:46.

doubling up to make the challenge, or cause some havoc. Right, when

:08:47.:08:53.

they go in to tackle, there's one, two, three Swedish players around,

:08:54.:08:57.

just making it very difficult for Germany to find any patterns of.

:08:58.:09:04.

Dabritz. Fischer is there just to shepherd the ball behind. Germany

:09:05.:09:11.

have done in patches. They have played the one and two touch and

:09:12.:09:15.

that's how, when it's such a rigid backline and midfield line, that's

:09:16.:09:19.

how you can get round them, get the ball out wide them. They have

:09:20.:09:22.

created openings but not been able to score. That's a great sight.

:09:23.:09:31.

This ground will be full tomorrow night, but it's good to see so many

:09:32.:09:35.

people here this evening. Bartusiak. Schult gifting the ball back to

:09:36.:09:53.

Sweden. Schelin tried to improvise, but the

:09:54.:10:16.

whistle has gone. We saw another legend of the game, Canada's

:10:17.:10:19.

Christine Sinclair in tears earlier on, when she picked up the bronze

:10:20.:10:26.

medal. Can Lotta Schelin truck strike gold here tonight?

:10:27.:10:38.

Popp is the target, finds Behringer, it pains around the area again.

:10:39.:10:42.

Here's Marozsan. In many ways, that sums up Germany's

:10:43.:10:53.

first half. Sweden, like they have in the last two games, are

:10:54.:10:55.

frustrating a very good German side. Sweden lost to Germany in three

:10:56.:11:09.

successive Olympic Games, including the bronze medal game in Athens in

:11:10.:11:11.

2004. Every time these two nations seem to

:11:12.:11:25.

play, with the exception of the World Cup game last year, it's

:11:26.:11:29.

usually tight, it's usually one goal either side. Yes, you are right,

:11:30.:11:34.

they know each other so well. Both real heavyweights in women's

:11:35.:11:37.

football. It's normally a closely tied game.

:11:38.:11:52.

Germany will look back on some very good chances in the first half.

:11:53.:11:56.

Here's Behringer. Managing to wriggle through. In the end,

:11:57.:12:06.

Marozsan, with a real slice, Kemme, unable to keep the ball in play. I

:12:07.:12:14.

wonder if Marozsan has still got a bit of a niggling injury, because

:12:15.:12:18.

she's not been herself in the first half. She's not on form because she

:12:19.:12:22.

can take a game apart all by herself and she's not doing that. No, she's

:12:23.:12:26.

not at all. Marozsan's touch does find Dabritz.

:12:27.:12:45.

I think it was initially deflected and Lindahl taking no chances. She

:12:46.:12:52.

is high in confidence after that goal in the semifinal. It took a

:12:53.:12:55.

deflection. It was probably going wide, but Lindahl doesn't want to

:12:56.:12:56.

take any chances. It's a packed six yard area once

:12:57.:13:15.

again. Marozsan's delivery, Lindahl was nowhere. There is Popp. Mittag

:13:16.:13:22.

unable to control. The Swedish fans will be satisfied

:13:23.:13:29.

so far. I think although they've sat back

:13:30.:13:41.

and defended when they've needed to, I do think they've showed a bit more

:13:42.:13:44.

purpose and committed a few more players forward when they've gone

:13:45.:13:48.

forward. More so in the last couple of games. This is more the Germany

:13:49.:13:54.

we saw in the group stage. Rather than the team who were very good

:13:55.:13:59.

against both China and Canada. Yes. Yes, they were excellent in the last

:14:00.:14:03.

two games, especially against Canada, who were the inform team and

:14:04.:14:07.

they showed just what they were about to. Tonight, they look a bit

:14:08.:14:15.

frustrated. Credit to Sweden. Fischer will take the free kick. The

:14:16.:14:17.

final moments of the first half. But even when Jakobsson doesn't win

:14:18.:14:47.

the ball she's a real nuisance. He is Popp, put the ball down superbly.

:14:48.:14:53.

Mittag is running for -- looking for runners from midfield. Cut out well

:14:54.:14:56.

by Rubensson. Now Bartusiak, and there goes the

:14:57.:15:18.

half-time whistle. So an attritional first half at times, Germany with

:15:19.:15:22.

the better chances, but Sweden continue to frustrate the bigger

:15:23.:15:26.

names. Half-time, it's Sweden nil, Germany nil.

:15:27.:15:49.

We're going to take some commentary of the modern pentathlon now. To

:15:50.:15:55.

explain it all, Steph Cook, Olympic champion in 2000, alongside Eleanor

:15:56.:15:56.

Oldroyd. COMMENTATOR: We have seen the riding

:15:57.:16:05.

and the swimming and the pentathlon comes down to this, the combined

:16:06.:16:09.

running and shooting, after the show-jumping as well. You can see

:16:10.:16:14.

the combined leader. Oktawia Nowacka. Steph Cook, explain what

:16:15.:16:18.

they have to do. This is a combination of running and shooting,

:16:19.:16:23.

a bit like the skiing biathlon. There is a staggered start,

:16:24.:16:26.

calculated on the basis of the results after the previous events,

:16:27.:16:30.

with the leader setting off on zero, and they run a total of 3200 metres,

:16:31.:16:36.

consisting of 800 metres loops, interspersed by four shooting

:16:37.:16:39.

series. They ran a short distance initially onto the shooting range

:16:40.:16:42.

and then had their burst shooting series. Shooting is laser pistol

:16:43.:16:46.

shooting over a distance of ten metres and the athletes have to hit

:16:47.:16:50.

the target clean five times, registering a green light. They have

:16:51.:16:56.

unlimited shots to be able to do it or after 50 seconds, the converted

:16:57.:17:00.

automatically moves on. You can see the lights appearing next to the

:17:01.:17:04.

athletes and the numbers, the targets they are trying to hit and

:17:05.:17:07.

when you see a green light, it means a clean hit and when you see a red

:17:08.:17:11.

light, it means they have not managed to hit their target, so they

:17:12.:17:15.

go through very quickly. I can tell you that Kate French had a very good

:17:16.:17:20.

start, starting in ninth place, and Samantha Murray, silver medallist

:17:21.:17:23.

from London, started in 18th and remember that we have never yet had

:17:24.:17:28.

a women's modern pentathlon at the Olympics in which there has not been

:17:29.:17:32.

a British athlete on the podium. Steph Cook started it in Sydney in

:17:33.:17:36.

2000 with the gold medal and Kate Allenby with the bronze medal and

:17:37.:17:40.

they are running around a course which, if you were with us earlier

:17:41.:17:43.

for the show-jumping, you will recognise, it is all in the same

:17:44.:17:46.

stadium. They are running in a loop around the stadium and then each one

:17:47.:17:52.

will run into the shooting range. One round shooting has already

:17:53.:17:57.

happened and that is Oktawia Nowacka of Poland, and the athlete behind is

:17:58.:18:01.

Elodie Clouvel of France, who is a very strong swimmer but crucially

:18:02.:18:05.

for her, she has had problems in the riding before and she had a great

:18:06.:18:10.

round in the riding. We will be very interested to see how she gets on.

:18:11.:18:15.

We think she could be one the favourites, Steph? Absolutely. We

:18:16.:18:22.

have seen the distance some of the athletes, Chloe Esposito from

:18:23.:18:25.

Australia had already moved up a couple of places as well. This

:18:26.:18:31.

really is going to be tight. I think Elodie Clouvel has perhaps gained a

:18:32.:18:34.

few seconds already on Oktawia Nowacka. Yes, the points you get

:18:35.:18:42.

during the day are converted directly into seconds. We will see

:18:43.:18:46.

Oktawia Nowacka coming to the shooting range. This is a laser

:18:47.:18:52.

pistol, ten metres, and she is taking aim now. This is her second

:18:53.:18:57.

series of shooting. She has shot clean now, four, just one remaining

:18:58.:19:04.

and she is out. Elodie Clouvel has missed a few so she is feeling the

:19:05.:19:09.

pressure now. Yes, when you are feeling the pressure, when you see

:19:10.:19:12.

the leader going in and then out again and you are still on the

:19:13.:19:15.

shooting range and you can see the other athlete coming behind you, to

:19:16.:19:18.

try to start their shooting series as well, including Melanie McCann of

:19:19.:19:23.

Canada and Chloe Esposito of Australia but Elodie Clouvel is out

:19:24.:19:29.

and threw underway. We can see Chloe is shooting very well, so leaving

:19:30.:19:33.

the range and about the same time as McGann. Let's keep an eye on Kate

:19:34.:19:37.

French, she has missed one but got tee targets hit now. They have to

:19:38.:19:42.

hit five. It is taking her some time to get the third one up on a Kate

:19:43.:19:50.

French. And four. And she has hit her fifth target so she goes out

:19:51.:19:51.

onto the course now. Samantha Murray has had a

:19:52.:20:02.

disappointing day. She had a difficult time yesterday on the

:20:03.:20:07.

fencing ranking round, pulled it up on the fencing today. But her ride

:20:08.:20:13.

was maybe not perfect for her. She is a bit behind at the moment. We

:20:14.:20:19.

can see Oktawia Nowacka in the lead, has really opened up a gap on Elodie

:20:20.:20:23.

Clouvel after her poor shooting in the last series. We can also see

:20:24.:20:30.

beyond her, Chloe Esposito just coming into the picture, and she has

:20:31.:20:35.

moved up into third place as well. Chloe Esposito having a great

:20:36.:20:39.

competition. Chen has also overtaken McCann. Chen in fourth and Melanie

:20:40.:20:46.

McCann in fifth. So much can change so quickly because if you get

:20:47.:20:49.

nervous and your hands starts to shake you have to be able to have

:20:50.:20:54.

that endurance, as we said like the biathlon in skiing, to be able to

:20:55.:20:57.

control your breathing and your nerves and be able to hit the

:20:58.:21:01.

target. The athletes are running out. You will remember if you watch

:21:02.:21:04.

this at London when Samantha Murray got the silver medal for Great

:21:05.:21:07.

Britain, it was quite a hilly course, they ran out and up into

:21:08.:21:11.

Greenwich park and then came back but this is on a continuous loop.

:21:12.:21:15.

We're just seeing some of the athletes crossing through the centre

:21:16.:21:19.

of the stadium, there are, and Kate French closing down the athletes in

:21:20.:21:22.

front of her, so Kate French is moving into sixth place now. Oktawia

:21:23.:21:28.

Nowacka leading at the moment, Elodie Clouvel second and Melanie

:21:29.:21:33.

McCann of Canada in third. Second lap of four at the moment. Chilliest

:21:34.:21:41.

veto is in third with Chen in fourth and Melanie McCann in fifth and we

:21:42.:21:44.

can see Kate French in the distant in sixth. -- Chloe Esposito.

:21:45.:21:50.

Octavian Wacker now, she has had a foot injury earlier this year so

:21:51.:21:54.

some doubt as to whether she will be able to keep the speed up because

:21:55.:21:58.

you have to do it quickly and cleanly but you look at the gap

:21:59.:22:01.

behind her and it is a long time until the second placed athlete

:22:02.:22:05.

comes in behind Oktawia Nowacka of Poland. At the moment, she is trying

:22:06.:22:10.

to hit that target and not quite getting there, but two down now.

:22:11.:22:17.

Three. It is so hard for the athletes to keep their composure on

:22:18.:22:20.

the range, once you have been running, your heart rate and

:22:21.:22:23.

breathing is up but she is out clean before Elodie Clouvel has really got

:22:24.:22:27.

a shot away. From the distance, Chloe Esposito, a really good

:22:28.:22:30.

shooter, she has shot for Australia in the past as well. Chloe Esposito,

:22:31.:22:36.

third onto the shooting range as it stands, followed by Chen of China.

:22:37.:22:40.

Esposito is out ahead of Elodie Clouvel. McCann on the range along

:22:41.:22:51.

with French. Out in the lead, Oktawia Nowacka from Poland. Looking

:22:52.:22:55.

at the green lights going for Kate French now, let's see how she gets

:22:56.:22:59.

on, how quickly she can get back out onto the course. Five shots down and

:23:00.:23:07.

15 seconds behind now. Good shooting from Kate. We are watching Esposito

:23:08.:23:16.

moving up the field now. You can see her out on the course at the moment.

:23:17.:23:21.

But still at the moment, it is Poland out ahead of the rest of the

:23:22.:23:25.

field, Oktawia Nowacka has been looking very good, very comfortable

:23:26.:23:32.

out there on the range. You can see the name of the Olympic champion

:23:33.:23:46.

appearing, Laura Asadauskaite, she had eight troubled time with the

:23:47.:23:51.

riding. Esposito is the one to watch. Oktawia Nowacka still the

:23:52.:23:55.

leader and look at the gap to the athletes behind her. There's

:23:56.:23:59.

Esposito. With Elodie Clouvel closely following her. And a bit

:24:00.:24:05.

further back, Chen. A few movements further down the field. Elena

:24:06.:24:11.

Potapenko has moved up. She is in fifth place now. Kate French is in

:24:12.:24:17.

sixth. There we see the second placed Esposito closely pursued by

:24:18.:24:23.

Elodie Clouvel. Elodie Clouvel in third place at the moment, in the

:24:24.:24:29.

bronze medal position. Melanie McCann not going so well, moving

:24:30.:24:33.

backwards and Kate French, twice on the heels of Elena Potapenko. You

:24:34.:24:38.

may see further down the field behind but it is still Oktawia

:24:39.:24:45.

Nowacka for Poland. It is her first Olympic Games. She was fifth at the

:24:46.:24:48.

European Championships last year which took place at Bath University,

:24:49.:24:52.

the centre of excellence for Team GB. They are just moving around

:24:53.:24:56.

again and shortly, we will see them go into the shooting range. At the

:24:57.:25:02.

moment, Oktawia Nowacka looks very cool and calm. She has not been put

:25:03.:25:06.

under much pressure yet but Esposito and Elodie Clouvel are beginning to

:25:07.:25:10.

close the gap on her now. She is going into the shooting range now.

:25:11.:25:15.

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

:25:16.:25:20.

she gets on as she comes in. Let our one is her position on the range. --

:25:21.:25:27.

are one. This is the final shooting element. We knew Esposito was a good

:25:28.:25:36.

shot and a good runner. We knew that Oktawia Nowacka has had problems

:25:37.:25:39.

with her foot in the last season and not been able to train to the same

:25:40.:25:43.

degree that she should be able to but the question is, can she hold

:25:44.:25:47.

on? But Esposito 's outburst, out of the shooting range in the gold medal

:25:48.:25:52.

position. She's got to run like the clappers now, 800 metres still to go

:25:53.:25:56.

but Chloe Esposito is looking very good and now does Oktawia Nowacka

:25:57.:26:01.

leave the shooting range. She's had an absolute nightmare in the final

:26:02.:26:05.

stage. We are looking now at Chloe Esposito and there is Elodie Clouvel

:26:06.:26:10.

and Oktawia Nowacka and these two are pretty much battling for the

:26:11.:26:14.

medals now. You could see Kate French and Samantha Murray on the

:26:15.:26:18.

range. Elodie Clouvel, as Oktawia Nowacka really starts to fade away

:26:19.:26:22.

now but Elodie Clouvel is such a strong all-round pentathlete.

:26:23.:26:26.

Absolutely, she really is, she really deserves it, she has such a

:26:27.:26:29.

strong shoot, I don't think anyone is going to catch her now. You can

:26:30.:26:33.

see them lapping some of these low athletes, still on their previous

:26:34.:26:37.

lab at Elodie Clouvel has now overtaken Octavian Wacker in the

:26:38.:26:40.

distance. She has gone into the silver medal position but still

:26:41.:26:44.

Esposito out in front in the gold medal position. You can see the

:26:45.:26:48.

photographers gathering now to watch Chloe Esposito. She has had a great

:26:49.:26:52.

competition here. She has been solid all the way. Look at her, she is

:26:53.:26:58.

looking up at the screen, to try to spot the other pentathletes behind

:26:59.:27:05.

her. We think this may well be the Olympic champion, looking out on the

:27:06.:27:08.

course now, she's running diagonally across. You can see the fencing

:27:09.:27:11.

piece behind which is where it happened earlier today, the bonus

:27:12.:27:14.

round but what a battle for the other medal positions. You can see

:27:15.:27:19.

the real battle is going on for silver and bronze at the moment

:27:20.:27:25.

between Elodie Clouvel, Oktawia Nowacka. They are just running

:27:26.:27:30.

diagonally across the field of play at the moment and we are looking

:27:31.:27:33.

out, you can see all the athletes just running around in this loop, as

:27:34.:27:37.

they go through and round and diagonally across. But we are

:27:38.:27:44.

watching Chloe Esposito, here. Esposito still looking good for gold

:27:45.:27:47.

at the moment and Elodie Clouvel has opened up a gap on Octavian Wacker,

:27:48.:27:53.

you can still see behind. Here comes Chloe Esposito, Australian fans, you

:27:54.:27:56.

can see them leaning over the wall to cheer her on. That is the

:27:57.:28:01.

finishing tape. Australia are going to have an Olympic champion in

:28:02.:28:05.

modern pentathlon. It is Chloe Esposito who is the winner at

:28:06.:28:11.

Deodoro. The question now is who is going to get onto the podium with

:28:12.:28:16.

her? Here comes Elodie Clouvel. She is gritting her teeth. She is going

:28:17.:28:20.

for it, she has crossed the line. She is the silver medallist. And

:28:21.:28:26.

what a brave, brave run by Oktawia Nowacka, who had a foot injury

:28:27.:28:30.

earlier this season. She finishes in third place. Those are the medal

:28:31.:28:35.

positions. For Team GB, not a medal this time but you can just see Kate

:28:36.:28:39.

French now, running towards the line and I think she is going to be

:28:40.:28:43.

finishing in sixth place. Kate French crosses the finishing line

:28:44.:28:49.

and well done to her. So, that run which began back in 2000 has not

:28:50.:28:55.

been continued and Samantha Murray has had a great finish, a great

:28:56.:29:00.

combined event, she has run up and she will definitely have improved

:29:01.:29:03.

her position from the start but it is going to be gold for Chloe

:29:04.:29:10.

Esposito of Australia and silver for France and it will be bronze for

:29:11.:29:17.

Poland. But for the first time since 2000, there will not be a British

:29:18.:29:20.

pentathlete on the top of the podium. The men will go tomorrow and

:29:21.:29:26.

that will feature Jamie Cooke, the world number one this season. So we

:29:27.:29:32.

will look forward very much to bringing you that but it is gold for

:29:33.:29:38.

Australia, silver for France, and bronze for Poland. We will bring you

:29:39.:29:41.

the other positions as soon as we can. Just trying to work out the

:29:42.:29:47.

finishing positions. As you can imagine, this is quite complicated

:29:48.:29:51.

to watch but I think it looks like sixth place for Kate French and

:29:52.:29:54.

Samantha Murray is up to ninth position. No medal for Samantha

:29:55.:30:04.

Murray list but congratulations to Chloe Esposito of Australia. What

:30:05.:30:08.

did you have to do? She did a fantastic job, Esposito, running up

:30:09.:30:13.

from seventh, where she started. She really did, she put herself into the

:30:14.:30:16.

mix going into the combined event, which is really one of her

:30:17.:30:20.

strongest. She is a great shot. She is a good runner. She just did what

:30:21.:30:25.

she had to do. She kept a cool head on the shooting range. You know, she

:30:26.:30:32.

just built on that through every shooting series. She was always

:30:33.:30:35.

closing on the leaders. At the end of the day,, it was a great result

:30:36.:30:45.

for Australia. Chloe Esposito, at her second Olympic Games, she

:30:46.:30:48.

finished seventh in London but she has won the gold medal here today.

:30:49.:30:53.

But two British pentathletes in the top ten, clearly they have high

:30:54.:30:57.

expectations at the University of Bath, they want athletes on the

:30:58.:31:00.

podium but well done to Kate French and Samantha Murray, both finishing

:31:01.:31:04.

in the top ten here and we will be back at Deodoro tomorrow for the

:31:05.:31:05.

men's modern pentathlon. names. Half-time, it's Sweden nil,

:31:06.:31:10.

Germany nil. Thank you for talking is through

:31:11.:31:17.

that, Kate French and Samantha Murray finishing in the top ten, a

:31:18.:31:20.

great finish to the modern pentathlon there. Let's show you

:31:21.:31:23.

what is happening elsewhere at the moment. Real drama on BBC One. It's

:31:24.:31:29.

going into extra time, because, well, it will be unless anybody

:31:30.:31:34.

scores, Netherlands against Team GB, 3-3, what a game on BBC One. That's

:31:35.:31:43.

the gold medal match for you as a reminder, if you'd like to see that,

:31:44.:31:47.

you can flick over onto BBC One for that. There's plenty more available

:31:48.:31:51.

on the Red Button. On the beach at the moment we have some live book

:31:52.:31:56.

reading. You see, you doubted we were telling you the truth

:31:57.:31:59.

yesterday, but there it is, people do like to read a book and canoodle

:32:00.:32:04.

at the same time on Copacabana. The new # is Copaca dash book club. We

:32:05.:32:15.

were telling you the truth all along. Let's get back to the

:32:16.:32:21.

football, the gold medal match in the Maracana, they're into the

:32:22.:32:24.

second half, they've just started the second half, Sweden against

:32:25.:32:28.

Germany. Sue Smith and Nigel Adderley are your commentary team.

:32:29.:32:33.

Sweden do like a penalty shoot out. What will be the conclusion to this

:32:34.:32:36.

one? COMMENTATOR:

:32:37.:32:39.

Sweden would quite happily take a penalty shoot-out again if it meant

:32:40.:32:47.

them taking the gold medal. Marozsan! And Germany finally come

:32:48.:32:57.

out with a moment of quality! And it could be a gold medal moment! We

:32:58.:33:03.

said it would be won by either a mistake are moment of absolute

:33:04.:33:06.

brilliance and that was brilliant from Marozsan. The first half she

:33:07.:33:10.

was really quiet, she wasn't really in the game, I wondered if she was

:33:11.:33:13.

struggling with her injury but this is brilliant. It curls into the top

:33:14.:33:18.

corner. I don't think Lindahl had any chance with that whatsoever. A

:33:19.:33:24.

really good Germany move, it was a plain 1- to touch, Feltham are some

:33:25.:33:28.

of that's what you need, a little bit of quality to get the game going

:33:29.:33:34.

-- it felt to Marozsan. Jennifer Mahrez and always has that in her

:33:35.:33:38.

locker although it did take a slight deflection off Samuelsson but I

:33:39.:33:41.

wonder if Lindahl would have got there anyway. Her first goal in the

:33:42.:33:53.

Olympic Games -- Dzsenifer Marozsan. And now Sweden will have to come out

:33:54.:33:58.

and play, but are they good enough? It will be a more interesting game

:33:59.:34:02.

now, Sweden straightaway drop back into that 4th-5- one formation again

:34:03.:34:06.

but they will have to come out and give it a go. They created chances

:34:07.:34:11.

in the first half, so if they stick with the same structure and get

:34:12.:34:14.

those chances, they have to be clinical. They do have the pace of

:34:15.:34:21.

Stena Blackstenius, who scored against the Americans on the bench.

:34:22.:34:29.

But now Germany will be quite happy to slow things down, even at this

:34:30.:34:32.

stage. Marozsan, who scored the winning

:34:33.:34:45.

goal, when these two sides met in the semifinals of Euro 2013, has

:34:46.:34:52.

come up with arguably an even more important goal here, Germany have

:34:53.:34:56.

never won Olympic gold. They've won everything else. But is tonight the

:34:57.:34:59.

night when they finally complete the set?

:35:00.:35:08.

And one of the reasons Sweden opted for a more defensive approach

:35:09.:35:22.

towards the latter end of the competition was the way they found

:35:23.:35:27.

it difficult to be expansive during that 5-1 defeat against Brazil. But

:35:28.:35:31.

it's now or never. They have to go for it now. Germany will slow the

:35:32.:35:37.

game down they will pass the ball around the back, make Sweden come

:35:38.:35:43.

out and then they'll attack with precision and pace. Rubensson shown

:35:44.:35:47.

the yellow card for the challenge on Leonie Maier. She landed very nicely

:35:48.:35:52.

there. You can see straightaway the physio

:35:53.:36:06.

come on. It was a yellow card. Sweden here will have to regroup. A

:36:07.:36:14.

quick shot there of Caroline Seger talking to Sam Brownson Pearson

:36:15.:36:21.

Haga, already these asked deep in conversation with laughter. Sylvia

:36:22.:36:33.

Knight will be replaced by Steffi Jones, another legend of football,

:36:34.:36:40.

could be going out as a winner. Germany already sending a second

:36:41.:37:03.

goal. -- already sensing a second goal. It could be the start of a

:37:04.:37:11.

very special weekend for German football. There is the possibility

:37:12.:37:20.

of an Olympic gold doubles, with their men taking on Brazil tomorrow

:37:21.:37:27.

evening in that final. And that would be three wins out of three in

:37:28.:37:30.

the Maracana, when it really matters.

:37:31.:37:39.

And how soon do you think they will look to make a change? We usually

:37:40.:37:50.

say 60-65 minutes. I'm sure she'll be looking up for Blackstenius to

:37:51.:37:58.

come on, Jakobsson has done so much running but I would keep her on for

:37:59.:38:03.

her pace. I'd bring her on, will she change her formation? She will have

:38:04.:38:08.

to do something, maybe two up top. But I think she'll wait a little

:38:09.:38:13.

bit, see if this can work, see if they can create an opening. Marozsan

:38:14.:38:21.

has now given the ball away. Here is scoffed, asking an awful lot of

:38:22.:38:31.

Jakobsson. Schult sweeping up. -- here is Schough, asking an awful lot

:38:32.:38:32.

of Jakobsson. She has just joined Lyon in France,

:38:33.:38:46.

a big transfer from Frankfurt, moving from one former Champions

:38:47.:38:47.

League winner to another. There's no doubt the quality has

:38:48.:39:04.

improved in the English WSL in recent years, but the Germans and

:39:05.:39:08.

the French are still some way ahead when you look at the Champions

:39:09.:39:12.

League. Yes and it will be interesting to see when the WSL has

:39:13.:39:16.

been going for more years when we can compete with the likes of the

:39:17.:39:19.

German and French teams because we are getting better every year and

:39:20.:39:24.

more competitive and you can see a lot of now international players

:39:25.:39:27.

want to come and play in this league because it's such a great league to

:39:28.:39:31.

play in. Manchester City's Kosovare Asllani has just conceded the corner

:39:32.:39:40.

and of course we have Chelsea's Hedvig Lindahl in the Swedish goal.

:39:41.:39:49.

Behringer 's corner, Lindahl stays then gathers from Arsenal's

:39:50.:39:58.

Josephine Henning is on the bench. Could be returning with a gold medal

:39:59.:39:59.

around her neck. Krahn just swatting Jakobsson aside.

:40:00.:40:17.

Anything in front of Krahn and Artesia, they just deal with it.

:40:18.:40:22.

Here is the change, straightaway. Jakobsson replaced by Blackstenius.

:40:23.:40:31.

She didn't wait 60 minutes, did she? She's gone for it early on. A

:40:32.:40:37.

similar player to Jakobsson. She will parry and she's also got that

:40:38.:40:42.

pace and power to getting beyond the German defence. And can finish. She

:40:43.:40:48.

scored a wonderful goal on the breakaway against the USA to briefly

:40:49.:40:54.

give Sweden the lead in that game. Before they eventually came through

:40:55.:40:58.

on penalties. Blackstenius started the match in this stadium against

:40:59.:41:04.

Brazil in the semifinal, run herself into the ground, then Jakobsson

:41:05.:41:08.

replaced her, so you can see the thinking. Yes, I think so, and it's

:41:09.:41:13.

such a hard, difficult job when you're playing that soul number

:41:14.:41:17.

nine, very isolated. You do a lot of running. So to have another player

:41:18.:41:21.

to bring on with similar qualities is quite a luxury.

:41:22.:41:29.

Seager has been found again, Blackstenius waiting in the centre.

:41:30.:41:36.

Possibilities for Sweden. Blocked by a combination of Bartusiak and Kemme

:41:37.:41:43.

and it's a Sweden corner. Could Sweden have done that quickly? I'd

:41:44.:41:48.

like to that ball whipped in. Could she play the ball now and then the

:41:49.:41:54.

other option is the far post runner allowed Germany to get back in

:41:55.:41:57.

numbers and crowd the Swedish attack out. That was better from the

:41:58.:42:07.

Swedish team. Of course, she has an Olympic title defend -- an Olympic

:42:08.:42:15.

title to defend having led the USA to medals in Beijing and London.

:42:16.:42:25.

Deliver -- the delivery of the corner has never been quite right in

:42:26.:42:31.

this game. Beans on to it by Krahn. You are right, the quality has been

:42:32.:42:35.

lacking in set pieces. There are players in the Swedish side that can

:42:36.:42:39.

punish Germany from a set piece, like Fischer, Schelin, but the

:42:40.:42:42.

delivery hasn't been good enough quality. Here is Schelin, once again

:42:43.:42:49.

the ball just rearing up to flick the player's hand.

:42:50.:42:56.

Sweden have not beaten Germany in a competitive game in a major

:42:57.:43:24.

tournament since 1995. That was in the World Cup and it's so long ago.

:43:25.:43:36.

There was a 3-2 win for Sweden. Their three previous meetings in the

:43:37.:43:48.

Olympics, Germany have always been successful. It started in the MCG in

:43:49.:43:59.

2000, when Germany won by 1-0. One of our pundits scored the only goal

:44:00.:44:06.

that day. That was the German team which saw winning almost as a right.

:44:07.:44:11.

Yes, yes, I was on the end of a few losses against that team and you

:44:12.:44:15.

wonder, do they have that psychological advantage over the

:44:16.:44:19.

teams you haven't beaten for so long and then you go a goal down. You

:44:20.:44:21.

think, here we go again. I think Germany have lost the fear

:44:22.:44:34.

factor in recent years. England beat them in the World Cup. They failed

:44:35.:44:37.

to qualify for the Olympics. They were poor in their own World Cup so

:44:38.:44:43.

they aren't what they were, but they're still very good. They are,

:44:44.:44:47.

yes. Teams are probably catching up with them slightly. But they are

:44:48.:44:51.

very good on their day. Here's Mittag.

:44:52.:45:00.

It's difficult for Sweden to completely change their mind set

:45:01.:45:08.

here. They need to chase the game, but I'm sure at this stage the

:45:09.:45:12.

manager will be wary of a second goal which could finish things.

:45:13.:45:16.

Here's Marozsan, just behind Popp, but now Dabritz, it was Seager back

:45:17.:45:23.

there with a chalice. Now Dabritz the caught by Schelin. It's a free

:45:24.:45:31.

kick to Germany in what could be a very dangerous area. Yes, it was a

:45:32.:45:35.

free kick, but you could see Dabritz, when she gets the ball, she

:45:36.:45:41.

wants to come in field and have a strike at goal. Sweden just seem to

:45:42.:45:45.

be able to crowd her out but she has won her team a free kick in a very

:45:46.:45:47.

dangerous position. The referee making sure the wall

:45:48.:46:01.

gets back. Germany are half an hour away from a first gold medal in

:46:02.:46:14.

women's football. Silvia Neid, their coach, ended her international

:46:15.:46:18.

career at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. That was the first women's

:46:19.:46:20.

tournament. It is Marais and again and Hedvig

:46:21.:46:34.

Lindahl, oh, it is an own goal! -- Marizanne Kapp Gent. Linda Sembrant

:46:35.:46:41.

may have gifted Germany the gold medal! Absolutely gutted for her but

:46:42.:46:50.

what a free kick again, I spoke in the first half about Dzsenifer

:46:51.:46:53.

Marozsan and said she has not really been in the game or created any

:46:54.:46:56.

thing but as the ball was whipped in, hit the post, Linda Sembrant is

:46:57.:47:00.

running back in to try to clear it and her knee goes in, she could see

:47:01.:47:04.

straightaway. She has to try and forget that. Well, it is a moment

:47:05.:47:10.

she may take a long time to forget. Delightful Silvia Neid. And it is a

:47:11.:47:20.

long, long way back for Sweden now. Linda Sembrant, the former Lincoln

:47:21.:47:29.

Ladies player, may have just clinched the gold medal for Germany.

:47:30.:47:34.

You have to feel for her, for that to happen in any game but for it to

:47:35.:47:42.

happen in an Olympic final. But it was a good free kick from Marozsan

:47:43.:47:46.

initially to set it up and as a defender, you are going to try to

:47:47.:47:50.

clean your lines and it just hit her on the knee. -- clear your lines.

:47:51.:48:00.

What a time to come up with something like that. Our Sweden

:48:01.:48:10.

about to lose to Germany yet again? This would be ten successive defeats

:48:11.:48:16.

in competitive action. Daebritz. Poppy Matt's touch. Marozsan,

:48:17.:48:25.

blocked by Linda Sembrant. This time, she got the ball away. Seger.

:48:26.:48:33.

Sweden have got to go for broke, now. They do and you can see Germany

:48:34.:48:39.

getting another if they do that, much better from Germany, they are

:48:40.:48:43.

keeping the ball, passing it. Once the goal went in, you could see

:48:44.:48:55.

there was a bit of belief in there. With a deflection and an own goal,

:48:56.:48:58.

Germany have been put on course for the gold medal. Leupolz. Plays the

:48:59.:49:07.

one-two with Mittag. The body language of the Swedes at

:49:08.:49:15.

the moment does not look good. Maier. Marozsan. Crowded out this

:49:16.:49:33.

time. Schelin. She will keep fighting but she has given the ball

:49:34.:49:37.

away to Maier. Leupolz. Berenger. Daebritz. Daebritz has done well to

:49:38.:49:47.

win it back. Maier! Linda Sembrant recovers once again. Like a right

:49:48.:49:56.

midfielder most of the time. She is the one of their creating and

:49:57.:50:00.

overlapping whether it is an overlapping run or an under lapping

:50:01.:50:06.

run, a very good full-back. It is her throw in. And now Seger. Almost

:50:07.:50:14.

turning into trouble. She does. Berenger. Marozsan. At Alexandra

:50:15.:50:25.

Popp was underneath that and she got right underneath it. Good play from

:50:26.:50:29.

Germany again. It seems like they have got an extra gear that they can

:50:30.:50:34.

go up and they are certainly at that level now and this is a good ball

:50:35.:50:40.

in. You can see straightaway Alexandra Popp is looking at if she

:50:41.:50:44.

is offside, she's looking at the officials but she wasn't and

:50:45.:50:47.

probably should have done better that one. Linda Sembrant, Asllani.

:50:48.:50:56.

Sweden really need their attacking players to step up now. Rubensson.

:50:57.:51:06.

There are only 18 player squads in the women's competition, so not a

:51:07.:51:15.

huge amount of options available to any coach. We briefly saw Pia

:51:16.:51:20.

Sundhage on the edge of the technical area, there, and she will

:51:21.:51:27.

be making a change soon. Asllani. Dahlkvist makes the run ahead of

:51:28.:51:33.

her. But they are back in the game straightaway! Wow, game on. The

:51:34.:51:42.

first half, not the greatest game to watch and the second half, it has

:51:43.:51:46.

been excellent. Germany taking the lead and you think that is it, they

:51:47.:51:49.

have won the game and 2-0 but this is good play, Asllani building play,

:51:50.:51:54.

playing it out wide and a first-time ball in but this is just burst to

:51:55.:51:57.

the ball, Blackstenius has the desire to get on the end of it. She

:51:58.:52:02.

steers it passed short in the goal. Good play from Sweden and we spoke

:52:03.:52:07.

about how they can hit on the counter and when they hit at pace,

:52:08.:52:11.

when there forwards and midfielders breaking forward, they looked

:52:12.:52:16.

dangerous. Well, that is what it meant to Pia Sundhage and Stina

:52:17.:52:21.

Blackstenius has scored against the USA and Germany in this competition.

:52:22.:52:27.

Very few players can say they have done that in going for the bigger

:52:28.:52:34.

prizes and shall almost gives the ball away. -- Schult. Now there is a

:52:35.:52:43.

long time left for Germany to hold on but here is Marozsan and Leupolz!

:52:44.:52:48.

Lindahl does not deal with it once again initially. But there was a

:52:49.:52:55.

Swedish boot to clear. She just manages to do enough. This is what

:52:56.:52:58.

will happen, the game will open up as Sweden go for the equaliser. Good

:52:59.:53:03.

play, great play from Marozsan. Great save, Lindahl, you would

:53:04.:53:09.

expect her to keep hold of that. And this is the change that was planned

:53:10.:53:13.

before the goal and it is Asllani replaced by Pauline Hammarlund. She

:53:14.:53:21.

only came into the squad due to injuries elsewhere. Lindahl's

:53:22.:53:27.

handling is safe this time. Hammarlund, unsurprisingly, is a

:53:28.:53:36.

striker. Schelin chasing now. You look back on that Sweden goal,

:53:37.:53:57.

how did it happen? She was forward and that is the problem with the

:53:58.:54:00.

German full-backs, it's great when you're attacking, both full-backs

:54:01.:54:03.

getting forward but effectively, if you can exploit them, that is where

:54:04.:54:07.

you will get your goal. That is what Sweden were doing in the first after

:54:08.:54:10.

they have managed to get the goal in the second half. -- first half and

:54:11.:54:17.

they have managed. This is a case for Popp and Fischer has to be

:54:18.:54:24.

careful. -- a chase. She could have sealed it, there. She could and

:54:25.:54:30.

should have sealed it, Lindahl fearful of coming off the line and I

:54:31.:54:33.

was wondering why she did not come to collect. Popp uses her place to

:54:34.:54:37.

get in behind and you can see what she is trying to do. -- her pace.

:54:38.:54:44.

Relief for her. She knows it is they left. -- a let off. Boehringer will

:54:45.:54:56.

not be adding to her tally. Lena Goessling comes on to win her 92nd

:54:57.:55:01.

cap, a player who was the mainstay of the German team for so many but

:55:02.:55:05.

has been out of favour for much of this tournament. That is because of

:55:06.:55:08.

how well Boehringer has been playing. I think she is tired, she

:55:09.:55:13.

has played every game, done so well. -- Behringer. To bring a quality

:55:14.:55:19.

player like Lena Goessling on, that is the strength in depth that

:55:20.:55:26.

Germany have. It brings a response from Pia Sundhage as well. Magdalena

:55:27.:55:30.

Eriksson replacing Rubensson. Eriksson is a full-back who plays in

:55:31.:55:36.

Sweden. We were thinking we may be lucky to

:55:37.:55:49.

see a single goal here tonight and we have had three in less than 20

:55:50.:55:51.

minutes. Germany are still on course for the

:55:52.:56:02.

gold medal. There is plenty of time for Sweden to force extra time.

:56:03.:56:06.

Maier. We spoke before about the slight

:56:07.:56:28.

vulnerability about this current German generation because ten years

:56:29.:56:37.

ago, if Germany were 2-0 up in a final, it finishes 4-0. You are

:56:38.:56:41.

right and they have gone through that transitional period of losing a

:56:42.:56:44.

lot of their top-quality players. They have brought other players

:56:45.:56:47.

through that have stepped up to the mark. Like you say, they don't have

:56:48.:56:51.

that fear factory more, which they used to have. So many years ago. --

:56:52.:56:59.

fear factor any more. Still a very professional team that do know how

:57:00.:57:03.

to win matches. They could win an Olympic gold medal here so they are

:57:04.:57:09.

still very, very good. Linda Sembrant has made a mistake and

:57:10.:57:13.

Mittag goes down! I think she was looking for it. Yes, I think she

:57:14.:57:19.

knew that the ball had gone. Hammarlund on the outside. Schough

:57:20.:57:23.

was maybe caught in two minds. Fischer. The challenge comes in on

:57:24.:57:50.

Schough. Providing the cross will be Sweden goal.

:57:51.:58:02.

Bartusiak striding forward. Leupolz. She was looking for Alexandra Popp.

:58:03.:58:19.

Schelin. Now Blackstenius. Using the ball well again. Schough. Hammarlund

:58:20.:58:24.

had checked her run to stay onside. Goessling will have been brought on

:58:25.:58:40.

to try to calm things down. She did well as Bartusiak went on a little

:58:41.:58:44.

mazy run forward, just sat in unprotected. Leupolz. -- and

:58:45.:58:59.

protected. Seger. Schelin. Daebritz. Samuelsson. Seen by Kemme. Maybe a

:59:00.:59:13.

bit more to street -- a bit more discreet now with her forages

:59:14.:59:20.

forward. Seger. Kemme will have to deal with this. And Schough does

:59:21.:59:27.

well to keep her honest. She does and she is really pushing her back.

:59:28.:59:31.

In the first off, Kemme had so much space, there, she was able to

:59:32.:59:34.

pick-up passes and get forward and there was no pressure defensively.

:59:35.:59:36.

Now, she has got to do her job. Blackstenius, able to make the turn

:59:37.:59:51.

but Kemme stands firm. Mittag. Leupolz.

:59:52.:00:01.

The ball will come straight back. Linda Sembrant. Fischer.

:00:02.:00:11.

The Germans are having to work extremely hard for their gold medal,

:00:12.:00:26.

here. Goessling. Daebritz. Once again, Alexandra Popp is a

:00:27.:00:30.

peripheral figure in the game. They are trying to take the sting

:00:31.:00:52.

out of Sweden. They do well to work the space with

:00:53.:01:09.

Leupolz. Now Marozsan. Maier once again. Lindahl new with Mittag

:01:10.:01:17.

lurking her handling had before cluster, and it was. There were a

:01:18.:01:22.

few German players that wanted that to be a cross, not a shot. She was

:01:23.:01:28.

well in her right to have a go though. Picks her way down the

:01:29.:01:36.

left-hand side. All Germany need to do is keep the ball, keep it moving,

:01:37.:01:40.

make Sweden work, tire them out. It's won back well. We saw Canada

:01:41.:02:15.

have to really cling on grimly leading 2-1 against Brazil to claim

:02:16.:02:19.

the bronze medal earlier. Germany may have to undergo something

:02:20.:02:25.

similar here. Dahlkvist. Didn't see the challenge coming.

:02:26.:02:34.

The Maracana crowd not happy with Germany's attempts to wind down the

:02:35.:02:46.

clock. They fancy another half an hour. Eriksson.

:02:47.:02:56.

Good play by Maier again. She gets the free kick following Seager's

:02:57.:03:05.

challenge. She has played well, Maier. Both defensively and going

:03:06.:03:10.

forward. She's looked a real threat. Most of the time she looks like a

:03:11.:03:16.

right midfielder, but she has that pace and that engine to be able to

:03:17.:03:18.

get back and defend as well. Day -- Dabritz with the challenge

:03:19.:03:50.

from Samuelsson. Can Sweden break? They almost did. It's Goessling

:03:51.:03:58.

again. The ideal player for Germany to have at this stage. Maier, it's

:03:59.:04:06.

driven. A great substitution to bring Goessling on. She just

:04:07.:04:12.

protects the difference when she gets the ball, breaks up play, it's

:04:13.:04:16.

exactly what they need. She has a vision as well. To be able to find a

:04:17.:04:21.

pass like that. It was pretty close to Lindahl's near post. Am not sure

:04:22.:04:28.

she meant that, I think it was a cross. That was a shot earlier on, I

:04:29.:04:37.

think. 21 attempts on goal from Germany but usually there conversion

:04:38.:04:46.

rate is higher than that. Just a bit less than one in three.

:04:47.:04:57.

Sweden have not been able to build on by momentum in the last couple of

:04:58.:05:04.

moments. Krahn. Samuelsson's header only finds

:05:05.:05:23.

Marozsan. The sting was taken out of that by

:05:24.:05:33.

Sembrant. Quickly forward by Lindahl.

:05:34.:05:42.

So the Germans are really finding the gaps in between the ranks of the

:05:43.:05:51.

Swedish defence now. Hammarlund unable to prevent the goal kick.

:05:52.:05:59.

It looks to be a tactical tweet from Pia Sundhage. Going to three up top?

:06:00.:06:07.

It looks like they are. Marozsan. Fischer was able to find

:06:08.:06:19.

her goalkeeper. Blackstenius was wrestling there

:06:20.:06:37.

with Bartusiak but Sweden still have the ball.

:06:38.:06:43.

Germany have been rather untidy at times, but at the moment they are

:06:44.:07:02.

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

:07:03.:07:07.

when we looked at the chances that they've had, very rarely see so many

:07:08.:07:15.

chances not on target. They at least make the keeper work. But that is a

:07:16.:07:20.

bit of nerves, they've never won won Olympic gold before. It's the last

:07:21.:07:26.

game in charge, so whether the emotion is getting them slightly.

:07:27.:07:33.

Bartusiak almost breaks to Popp. She was caught by Sembrant, who scored

:07:34.:07:44.

the own goal and now receives a yellow card. It's a free kick in a

:07:45.:07:49.

very similar area to the one which produced the second goal. It is, a

:07:50.:07:55.

very dangerous area. Popp just got that touch, past her. Sembrant knew

:07:56.:08:02.

what she was doing there. There will be a German change first. Dabritz

:08:03.:08:20.

will be replaced by Huth-macro. The Germans may prefer to take the free

:08:21.:08:22.

kick first. Huth was brought into this squad due

:08:23.:08:44.

to an injury. They will have certainly missed that player in this

:08:45.:08:49.

tournament. Marozsan once again with the free kick. Lindahl keeps her

:08:50.:08:56.

team alive. She does, it's a good save from Lindahl. You could see

:08:57.:09:00.

their well works, the German players. It's obviously a training

:09:01.:09:04.

ground move where they run out towards the goal and make a dart,

:09:05.:09:08.

just to try and put the Swedish defenders off. But Lindahl off. But

:09:09.:09:14.

it didn't, she kept composed and managed to put the ball over the

:09:15.:09:16.

top. Goessling's corner. Now Popp. That's given away by Marozsan.

:09:17.:09:37.

Hammarlund making the run down the centre. Blackstenius is also

:09:38.:09:47.

waiting. Here is Seger, still Seger, and the goal kick is given in the

:09:48.:09:53.

end. What a chance for Sweden. Marozsan has been excellent going

:09:54.:09:55.

forward but that's a lapse in concentration. I'm not sure what she

:09:56.:09:59.

was trying to do, whether she was giving it back to her goalkeeper but

:10:00.:10:04.

it was anticipated, they took too long to find the path. She was

:10:05.:10:10.

unsure, do I find the pass, do I'd take a shot, in the end she didn't

:10:11.:10:14.

do either. It's agony for the Sweden fans. They still have five more

:10:15.:10:19.

minutes. No free kick given there. Eriksson

:10:20.:10:34.

shoves over Maier off the ball. Leupolz beaten to it by Sembrant.

:10:35.:10:38.

She's found again by Lindahl. Silvia Neid right on the edge of the

:10:39.:10:52.

technical area, willing her team through.

:10:53.:10:58.

We had a short conversation with Pia Sundhage at the stadium yesterday.

:10:59.:11:07.

Pia Sundhage asks her if she would be playing golf if she is no longer

:11:08.:11:11.

the coach and she said no, I'll be watching your team to find better

:11:12.:11:15.

ways of beating new! That's a great response! It's nice that Sylvia will

:11:16.:11:28.

stay where the team know she's going to move off and be more of a

:11:29.:11:32.

scouting role, so she'll know what type of players that Germany want

:11:33.:11:37.

and need. I'm sure she'll help out Steffi Jones. Here's an opportunity

:11:38.:11:48.

for Sweden. Hammarlund waits in the centre. Here's a great chance to

:11:49.:11:58.

equalise. What a block! It was Schult, denied by Marozsan. What a

:11:59.:12:03.

chance for Sweden, got the pace to get by. Dahlkvist, Schelin once

:12:04.:12:09.

again. Blackstenius was in there. -- it was sent away by Marozsan.

:12:10.:12:18.

Popp is back defending. Bartusiak took a chance there, with

:12:19.:12:54.

Skoff lurking. Fischer may be fortunate to avoid a yellow card

:12:55.:13:00.

here. Good play from Goessling, anticipated when the ball went. She

:13:01.:13:04.

knocked the ball went and she knew Fischer was coming in. She is giving

:13:05.:13:10.

her team a little bit of breathing space. She has been under the cosh

:13:11.:13:14.

for the last few moments. Inside the final two minutes of

:13:15.:13:21.

normal time. Fischer, on the stretch. Popp.

:13:22.:13:43.

Lindahl. Schelin, that's a good challenged by

:13:44.:14:09.

Krahn, but it's a corner. Excellent distribution from Lindahl. As soon

:14:10.:14:14.

as she gets the ball she sets her team away, started that attack. And

:14:15.:14:23.

Germany now hanging on as the Maracana holds its breath.

:14:24.:14:41.

Schough with the corner. Here's Schough again, managing to turn away

:14:42.:14:51.

from Maier but the cross is too deep. She's had a good second half.

:14:52.:14:59.

Lacked the quality to be the player. A little fake, goes inside, goes

:15:00.:15:07.

outside, just overheated slightly. -- she overhit it slightly. Here was

:15:08.:15:12.

the earlier chance, Bartusiak playing Schelin onside. She had the

:15:13.:15:23.

beating their off Krahn. Schough, if she hits that first time, it's 2-2.

:15:24.:15:29.

Yes, it's a goal. Sweden have a corner.

:15:30.:15:36.

Germany, two minutes away from the gold medal.

:15:37.:15:47.

Eriksson is over the corner. Fischer and Linda Sembrant up from the back.

:15:48.:16:07.

Deep again from Eriksson and Linda Sembrant is in there, Schelin!

:16:08.:16:12.

Unable to turn, Blackstenius is in there. Can she done? Germany crowd

:16:13.:16:17.

the box. It was almost a rugby scrum inside the six yard area and

:16:18.:16:23.

somehow, Germany survived. You just couldn't see what was going on. Such

:16:24.:16:28.

a scramble of players, everyone trying to get on the ball, Germany

:16:29.:16:31.

trying to clear but without giving anything away. Hanging on. Sweden

:16:32.:16:39.

throwing everything at this. After a dull first half, it has been a

:16:40.:16:45.

really entertaining second half and Germany now have the chance just to

:16:46.:16:52.

break and eat up the clock but it is given away by Popp. Lindahl's

:16:53.:17:00.

clearance and Blackstenius was on her way, there. Germany managed to

:17:01.:17:10.

deal with the situation. Leupolz. The chance to break beyond Eriksson.

:17:11.:17:17.

Germany have the throwing and they are second away. -- throw in.

:17:18.:17:31.

And that it! -- that is it. For the first time, in Silvia Neid's final

:17:32.:17:43.

game, Germany are Olympic champions! The former world champions, the

:17:44.:17:46.

reigning European champions, finally have the gold medal! 20 years of

:17:47.:17:57.

waiting has finally come to an end. Linda Sembrant's own goal proved to

:17:58.:18:04.

be the difference in the end. And for players like Bartusiak and

:18:05.:18:10.

Krahn, they now have a full set of winner's medals, world champions,

:18:11.:18:14.

European champions and Olympic champions. Silvia Neid goes out as a

:18:15.:18:23.

winner. At full-time, Sweden 1-2 Germany. Sue Smith. You can see

:18:24.:18:29.

exactly what it means to the players. They have been waiting so

:18:30.:18:33.

long for this and it probably was not the tidiest performance that I

:18:34.:18:37.

have ever seen from Germany. You know, they were hanging on in the

:18:38.:18:40.

last few minutes but they got the job done and that is what Germany

:18:41.:18:46.

do. Well, Germany have completed what they will hope is a fantastic

:18:47.:18:52.

double. The men play Brazil tomorrow but the women are Olympic champions.

:18:53.:19:00.

Brilliant stuff, what a wonderful second half as well. Congratulations

:19:01.:19:05.

to Germany. Sweden, I'm sure at the moment they are not thinking about

:19:06.:19:08.

it but they will walk away from these Games with a silver medal but

:19:09.:19:14.

Germany may well add another goal in the men's football final tomorrow

:19:15.:19:18.

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

:19:19.:19:22.

I'm not sure it will be on BBC Four but it will be somewhere on the BBC

:19:23.:19:29.

for you tomorrow. While you've been away, I understand, I know how

:19:30.:19:33.

things work, I know a lot of you will have been watching Great

:19:34.:19:36.

Britain in the hockey final against the Dutch. If you have come back to

:19:37.:19:39.

us, welcome back, lovely to have you. If you have been watching the

:19:40.:19:43.

whole time, what has happened over in the hockey, we will explain in a

:19:44.:19:46.

moment but it's been a brilliant night for Team GB. Yet another gold

:19:47.:19:50.

medal and I'm sure they will feature in a headlines but before

:19:51.:20:12.

we do on day 14 of The games in Rio, I want to show you the ludicrous red

:20:13.:20:17.

moon out over the Atlantic at Copacabana. Rather incredible. I've

:20:18.:20:19.

been doing some research. The other's shadow is read at the edges

:20:20.:20:22.

for the same reason a sunset is red. When sunlight is gathered by passing

:20:23.:20:24.

through the Earth's atmosphere, the colours of the spectrum are removed.

:20:25.:20:27.

In a solar eclipse, the moon casts its shadow on the other. Does that

:20:28.:20:29.

make any sense? I think it does. This fellow behind me has got the

:20:30.:20:32.

same idea, taking a picture of the red moon. It does not happen often.

:20:33.:20:35.

The guy behind is taking a picture as well. Moon News on BBC Four.

:20:36.:20:38.

Let's have another look. It's incredible. Can somebody ring

:20:39.:20:43.

Professor Brian Cox? If we can't get him, we will have Dara O'Briain.

:20:44.:20:48.

Anyone. Stargazing Live on BBC Four on day 14 at the Olympics and these

:20:49.:20:56.

are your headlines. The first Olympic gold in the

:20:57.:20:59.

women's hockey, it was pre-prion penalties but Team GB's goalkeeper

:21:00.:21:05.

Maddie Hinch was amazing and Hollie Webb was the woman who got the

:21:06.:21:12.

winning penalty. 3-3 in normal time and it went to penalties. You have

:21:13.:21:17.

been watching, you know what I mean. It was tense for Nick Skelton,

:21:18.:21:20.

involved in a six way jump for gold in the individual show-jumping but

:21:21.:21:25.

he did it in his seventh Olympic Games, gold for Nick Skelton. In the

:21:26.:21:32.

taekwondo, we showed you earlier, Lutalo Muhammad is through to the

:21:33.:21:35.

gold medal match, having won bronze four years ago. That takes place at

:21:36.:21:45.

2:15am. There could be another gold medal for Joe Joyce, who is also

:21:46.:21:49.

through to the gold medal match. This is the weight that Anthony

:21:50.:21:53.

Joshua won four years ago, super heavyweight and Joe Joyce loves to

:21:54.:21:56.

celebrate in style. Look at that! You don't see many super

:21:57.:22:01.

heavyweights who can rock that kind of business. I know lots of people

:22:02.:22:06.

tonight have been asking about the diving. We have been showing the

:22:07.:22:10.

bubble final and BBC One have been showing the hockey. Tom Daley has

:22:11.:22:13.

been involved in the preliminary qualification for the ten metre

:22:14.:22:17.

platform diving final which takes place tomorrow. We are going to show

:22:18.:22:21.

you his best dive which came in the fourth round.

:22:22.:22:27.

COMMENTATOR: Tom Daley, top of the leaderboard at the end of round

:22:28.:22:36.

three. He will be hoping it does not go awry for him, forward, for one

:22:37.:22:44.

half somersaults, Tom Daley. Oh, he's in the form of his life! Wholly

:22:45.:22:49.

moly! Well, this feels like the final. It is not the final but this

:22:50.:22:59.

is four out of four, the Tom Daley. Spectacular. Great diving. Look at

:23:00.:23:08.

this. Inspired by the success of the team so far. As Bob mentioned

:23:09.:23:13.

earlier in the competition, I hope he's not using up all of these

:23:14.:23:18.

before tomorrow's final. On fire! Look at that! In this round, there

:23:19.:23:26.

was a 102.6, and Tom Daley has got 103.6. Wow.

:23:27.:23:32.

Brilliant from Tom Daley and we will hear from him in a moment. Just to

:23:33.:23:36.

let you know that his semifinal is that freebie tomorrow UK time and it

:23:37.:23:40.

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

:23:41.:23:46.

tomorrow. Look at all these people taking pictures of the red moon. I

:23:47.:23:49.

feel quite privileged to be at Copacabana now. The moon news is

:23:50.:23:54.

clearly significant. Forget what was happening on the beach yesterday, it

:23:55.:23:56.

is all about the moon. We don't have Brian Cox, the BBC

:23:57.:24:06.

budget does not stretch that far but the sun and the moon are in

:24:07.:24:10.

alignment. This is down, the floor manager and moon specialist. He also

:24:11.:24:14.

has Wikipedia and Google, other search engines are available. He

:24:15.:24:19.

says the Sun and the moon are in alignment and it is the shadow cast

:24:20.:24:23.

on the moon and the particles in the atmosphere turning it red. Let's

:24:24.:24:26.

have one last look because we don't know how long it will last. Look at

:24:27.:24:31.

that. Enjoy it everyone. Get a screenshot. Wait your kids up, tell

:24:32.:24:36.

them something special is happening, or not. Let's hear from Tom Daley,

:24:37.:24:40.

who might be looking at the moon himself somewhere in Rio, he is

:24:41.:24:43.

about an hours drive away in the athletes' village but afterwards,

:24:44.:24:48.

after coming top in his qualification in the preliminaries

:24:49.:24:51.

at the top diver, he had a word with Helen Skelton.

:24:52.:24:55.

You go through to the semifinals top of the pile, how much fun was that?

:24:56.:25:01.

Yeah, I mean, I was saying to Jane, I had so much fun out there today,

:25:02.:25:05.

it's the first time I've gone into competition and everything feels

:25:06.:25:08.

good. I feel like I'm moving well, jumping well and all of the dives

:25:09.:25:11.

are easy and I feel really comfortable with them now. It was a

:25:12.:25:14.

matter of using my eyes and coming out at the right time. I'm really

:25:15.:25:22.

happy with how it went. To get ahead of the Chinese in the preliminary

:25:23.:25:25.

does not often happen. The judges never really give out tens in the

:25:26.:25:27.

prelim either so it is going well and I'm happy with the way it went.

:25:28.:25:31.

It is more than welcome you absolutely smashed it! It is my best

:25:32.:25:36.

score this year I think on par with the one for the European

:25:37.:25:39.

Championships. And this is only the prelim is so I want to maintain it

:25:40.:25:43.

tomorrow morning and then do more of the same tomorrow. You mentioned

:25:44.:25:48.

your coach, Jane and what are your tactics in this? Tee more rounds to

:25:49.:25:51.

go and some people hold something back for the final but how will you

:25:52.:25:55.

back that up? You can't afford to hold anything back because you won't

:25:56.:25:59.

qualify if you do. It's not just about making sure you qualify, you

:26:00.:26:03.

hold something back because you have to qualify first, have to get

:26:04.:26:06.

through each round and if you don't nail your dives, you will end up

:26:07.:26:10.

missing out on the semifinal or the final. The most important thing is

:26:11.:26:13.

taking it round by round and being in the moment. I've never seen so

:26:14.:26:18.

many British people in here but you are expecting a treat after each

:26:19.:26:22.

round, aren't you? Lance, my fiance is meant to be giving a chocolate

:26:23.:26:25.

bar after the prelim and the semifinal and then after the final,

:26:26.:26:30.

depending on if I get through. I'm getting a little treat. I'm waiting

:26:31.:26:33.

for him. I have no idea where he is but we will see if it comes through.

:26:34.:26:38.

There he is! I might get it shut down to me right now. Reigning

:26:39.:26:44.

chocolate bars, just a little one. Lance, have you got my chocolate

:26:45.:26:49.

bar? What is he getting? Oh, he is getting it! Have you got it? My

:26:50.:26:58.

chocolate bar. Enjoy that. I've got my little treat. I will do it that

:26:59.:27:03.

way around. There you go, a little treat. I know, what I've been

:27:04.:27:09.

waiting for. I do that to my dog or my child when they behave.

:27:10.:27:13.

Basically, diving at the Olympics is like training your dog and when he

:27:14.:27:17.

does it well, he gets a treat. It's much more impressive than that!

:27:18.:27:22.

Congratulations. Enjoy. Always nice to get some sweet from

:27:23.:27:27.

your partner, Dustin Lance Black flinging sweeps down to Tom Daley

:27:28.:27:31.

who was very happy. Let's show you what is happening on the BBC for

:27:32.:27:35.

timetable with a bit of BBC One in there because we don't like to

:27:36.:27:37.

ignore the other channel, we celebrate. The men's semifinal in

:27:38.:27:43.

the basketball is coming up shortly after some Copacabinmen, don't go

:27:44.:27:52.

away, something special coming away. And some more of the moon. If you

:27:53.:27:59.

saw Russia against Norway in the handball yesterday, the women's

:28:00.:28:03.

semifinal, we still have to promise to show you the final extra time

:28:04.:28:07.

period of that and we will do that as well and Lutalo Muhammad, 2:15am

:28:08.:28:11.

UK time. We have shown you all of his bouts up until this point. A

:28:12.:28:18.

wonderful character and he takes on Cisse for gold in the taekwondo at

:28:19.:28:23.

2:15am. Would you like to see not just single Copacabinmen but double

:28:24.:28:32.

action. We have the normal crew, Pedro, Donatello, Alejandro Gomez

:28:33.:28:36.

but these guys came passed a moment ago, a rival group, trying to get on

:28:37.:28:40.

the BBC for Copacabinmen inspiration. Now, you will notice,

:28:41.:28:48.

they are not that interested. Yeah they have got full bins and there's

:28:49.:28:51.

some kids playing in front of them as well. No waving. We gave them a

:28:52.:28:55.

shout. They have the red moon but they don't have the friendliness of

:28:56.:28:59.

the regular Copaca-binmen. Here come the real boys, they know what they

:29:00.:29:06.

are doing. We have even slowed it down for you. Slow motion

:29:07.:29:11.

Copaca-binmen, only available on BBC Four. You won't get that on any

:29:12.:29:16.

other channel. Don't even bother switching to BBC One. They have

:29:17.:29:19.

Clare Balding and the hockey but they don't have slow motion be in

:29:20.:29:25.

action like that from two men who are named, not after, but if we had

:29:26.:29:33.

Leonardo... Wait for the wave, if we had Leonardo and Michelangelo, we

:29:34.:29:36.

would have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles men and they are wonderful

:29:37.:29:39.

humans and we love spending the evening with them. -- Teenage Mutant

:29:40.:29:48.

Ninja binmen. I want to show you the moon one more time because it is

:29:49.:29:51.

going Gavin Bradley well. Anthony says, "Loving the talk about the red

:29:52.:29:56.

moon. Was genuinely great TV, somehow, I'm not sure how but it

:29:57.:30:01.

was". Appreciate that. We are trying to be as correct as we possibly

:30:02.:30:06.

could for two idiots who are just using Wikipedia. People are in the

:30:07.:30:11.

same position as ours, I'm sure we went over and asked them about the

:30:12.:30:15.

red moon, they would say the same. We think it is some kind of

:30:16.:30:19.

alignment issue, the sun and the moon in alignment, and the shadow

:30:20.:30:21.

makes the moon look that beautiful colour. Sorry? Dan, our Brian Cox

:30:22.:30:29.

expert says it is not read any more because it is moving and the like is

:30:30.:30:35.

changing. Is that right? Did you see the plane going through the red

:30:36.:30:38.

moon. And the binmen are back as well! It's all happening. All we

:30:39.:30:43.

need... Wrong crew, we don't like them. All we needed Antony Worrall

:30:44.:30:47.

Thompson and things are complete. We will go to the basketball and try to

:30:48.:30:51.

get you an update on Antony Worrall Thompson, if he bothers to up. But

:30:52.:30:57.

let's do, amongst the moon news, Copaca-binmen and everything

:30:58.:30:59.

happening down here tonight, there's lots of sport going on so we are

:31:00.:31:03.

going back to the live sport. A very happy Brazilian over there as well!

:31:04.:31:07.

I think he is looking at the moon, singing at it! That is it, that is

:31:08.:31:14.

the end of the moon speech and we are going to go to the basketball

:31:15.:31:16.

now. This is a semifinal. It's Serbia against Australia, we

:31:17.:31:29.

saw Serbia play team USA earlier on and push them in this tournament but

:31:30.:31:34.

as you can see, Serbia already have a four, sorry, a 12 point lead in

:31:35.:31:39.

the 2nd quarter and we can pick this one up with Mike Carlson and the

:31:40.:31:41.

torso bra. -- Vitor Sobral. COMMENTATOR:

:31:42.:32:10.

26-12. A great job, it's really working for Serbia. He had to get

:32:11.:32:21.

all his body into that one, 20 4-14, four and a half to play. That one is

:32:22.:32:32.

knocked away, he couldn't run down the court. Kalinic was in his way.

:32:33.:32:38.

Return it back over. That one is knocked away by Baynes. Mills sets

:32:39.:32:45.

up for three. And Mrs. Baynes with the rebound, second effort rebound,

:32:46.:32:56.

Ingles 43. Mrs. It's a 3-point shoot, they can get back in this but

:32:57.:33:01.

those were two good looks. At least they are getting open looks, that

:33:02.:33:05.

will block encouraging for Australia. Baynes is really sticking

:33:06.:33:11.

up. As Mills came down, Markovic gave him a foul, a for slowing him

:33:12.:33:19.

down. Take a look at this. Mills' body control, getting in the basket.

:33:20.:33:28.

The passing finally worked out and that's what Australia were

:33:29.:33:31.

concentrating on. It's what Lemanis was trying to figure out at Time.

:33:32.:33:43.

Broekhoff. Ingles. Mills. That was better stuff. Baynes. Couldn't get

:33:44.:33:49.

the hook. Again, Australia Miss and against Serbia come-down, three and

:33:50.:33:53.

a half to play in the half, they lead by 12. Starting to get the

:33:54.:33:58.

opportunities, Australia, but they are not putting them away. He wasn't

:33:59.:34:05.

even bothering to dribble. He's busy looking at the ball. One

:34:06.:34:26.

way or the other, we were get that one over to Australia. Mills looking

:34:27.:34:32.

to get three. He wants to go end to end and this

:34:33.:34:43.

is the way you get the full. You don't often see that, a 7'7" poking

:34:44.:34:49.

the steal away, picking up the ball and taking it end to end, taking the

:34:50.:34:55.

defender on and watch this. He read it brilliantly, Raduljica. The move

:34:56.:35:00.

coming, he wasn't able to finish it off but got the foul anyway. He's

:35:01.:35:05.

playing well, Raduljica. He's not a player that's going to score 50

:35:06.:35:10.

points, but he's going to do everything and work hard, he showed

:35:11.:35:13.

that against Croatia. He's a really tough customer. Sasha had to call it

:35:14.:35:20.

in case the referee missed it. The other thing, they basically spell

:35:21.:35:34.

him very quickly. It's a power play. Three minutes to play, the score is

:35:35.:35:35.

double. He's taken a few fouls as well.

:35:36.:35:54.

Mills gets fouled by your kitsch. Still a 14 point lead for Serbia.

:35:55.:36:00.

Australia just haven't been able to put in a really strong set of

:36:01.:36:04.

minutes. There's been spits and starts, it looks OK for a bit, but

:36:05.:36:08.

Serbia keep consistently finding the basket. Baynes comes out. He has

:36:09.:36:17.

worked so hard. A couple of important offensive rebounds as

:36:18.:36:23.

well. Andersen is now the centre and they have three forwards and Agard.

:36:24.:36:29.

No, two guards, Martin and Mills. Another foul.

:36:30.:36:35.

Dellavedova comes back in. Andersen knocks that one but only as far as

:36:36.:36:57.

Bogdanovich. The again, the 3-point shooting, 18%. They've only hit two

:36:58.:37:02.

of 11, Australia. That needs to improve dramatically if they are to

:37:03.:37:05.

get back into this contest. Markovic, over to Bogdanovich. They

:37:06.:37:14.

play patty cake with it and it comes back out to Markovic. There's the

:37:15.:37:23.

open man, 30-24. Sorry, 30-14, excuse me. The Australians got

:37:24.:37:28.

excited for a second but no, they are down by 16 points here and they

:37:29.:37:33.

haven't had this in the Olympic Games, not even against the United

:37:34.:37:36.

States where they are this far behind, and how they recover from

:37:37.:37:40.

this I'm not sure. This is going to be the alley OOP by Bogdanovich but

:37:41.:37:44.

if you watched the last bit of play as soon as they gave up the dribble

:37:45.:37:49.

they were all over it. His defender comes right up on top, trying to

:37:50.:37:53.

deny La Paz. The player on the sidelines who could pass to is

:37:54.:37:58.

currently covered. And an thought about three. Nothing open in the

:37:59.:38:03.

corner. Look how the defence is moving and the path is wild, thrown

:38:04.:38:11.

away by Golding. It's still on one, 32-14. They're getting their baskets

:38:12.:38:17.

but like you said, this performance is built on good defence. It being

:38:18.:38:22.

magnificent. They've completely stopped Australia. Look at those

:38:23.:38:27.

points off turnovers as well. Dellavedova can't get its drop, the

:38:28.:38:33.

rebound is tipped to Kalinic. There's a foul behind the play.

:38:34.:38:39.

Andersen was holding back. The in the United States coach says you're

:38:40.:38:43.

the best passing team in the Olympic Games and that you cannot pass the

:38:44.:38:46.

ball, the opposing defences doing something absolutely brilliantly.

:38:47.:38:50.

That's what Serbia have done in this. They are taking advantage of

:38:51.:38:55.

the other end as well. Australia having to press on the offensive and

:38:56.:38:59.

it means people are getting caught down there and Serbia is breaking

:39:00.:39:08.

the other way. Bogdanovich has been playing, but running the ball very

:39:09.:39:09.

well. The first of two foul shots. This is

:39:10.:39:20.

the second, Andersen with the rebound, Dellavedova to bring it up

:39:21.:39:27.

for Australia. Not long for a free throw comment extraordinary for a

:39:28.:39:31.

team that conceded 40 plus in one game. The ball by Miller has just

:39:32.:39:35.

hit the bottom of the net and Serbia now walking up slowly. In the final

:39:36.:39:43.

minute of the first half. The password behind Kalinic. -- the path

:39:44.:39:50.

went behind Kalinic. He fell down twisting himself trying to get it.

:39:51.:39:56.

57 seconds left. 19 points is not an insurmountable deficit but it's the

:39:57.:39:59.

performers that gives you great concern. How do Australia get back

:40:00.:40:03.

in this game? It's not like they're missing every shot, they are not

:40:04.:40:07.

getting good looks at the basket. Lisch now is the point guard. He's

:40:08.:40:15.

an outside shooter, Goulding, but he can't hit, and Serbia again clear

:40:16.:40:23.

the boards with 45 seconds left. Stefan Jovic to Nikola Jokic.

:40:24.:40:33.

Bogdanovich takes it back outside, there's Nikola Jokic with the open

:40:34.:40:37.

jumper, takes it, put it in and Goulding is down. I think

:40:38.:40:44.

Bogdanovich... He's injured. I think Bogdanovich may have knocked him

:40:45.:40:48.

over quickly. He might have twisted something by the way he was

:40:49.:40:54.

hobbling. Mills holding for one last shot. Gets two pics, launches the

:40:55.:41:01.

tree and it goes in and out. That's been the Australian's story for

:41:02.:41:09.

Australia. The shots are difficult, that wasn't an easy 3-point

:41:10.:41:13.

attempts. This is a real concern for Australia. Serbia have played this

:41:14.:41:17.

half brilliantly and they are forcing Australia into difficult

:41:18.:41:20.

attempts and there's a lot to think about for Australia at half-time.

:41:21.:41:27.

There's no letup here from Serbia, because they know they've watched

:41:28.:41:34.

comeback, they watched Croatia comeback against them. That didn't

:41:35.:41:39.

miss by much but it did miss. But what a half for Serbia, 35-14 over

:41:40.:41:45.

Australia. It looks like as you watch it like Serbia know exactly

:41:46.:41:49.

what Australia is going to do at any given time, and they're in a

:41:50.:41:54.

position to stop it. STUDIO:

:41:55.:41:57.

You can't really believe an Australian team can be that bad in

:41:58.:42:01.

the next two periods, can you? They've had a pretty woeful Olympic

:42:02.:42:06.

Games. We had some Australians on Copacabana Beach a Gestede aren't

:42:07.:42:09.

safe to say the normal bravado you get from Australians at an Olympic

:42:10.:42:13.

Games, talking about how many medals they've won is sadly missing because

:42:14.:42:17.

it hasn't been a great Games for Australia. We shall return for the

:42:18.:42:23.

third period of that. The winner of that takes on team USA in the final,

:42:24.:42:27.

which is this weekend. It's actually Sunday afternoon. Thank you for all

:42:28.:42:31.

your, we are getting so many tonight, I'm glad so many of you

:42:32.:42:35.

have been enjoying the Moon news. Gemma Wildig, what a lovely surname

:42:36.:42:41.

that is, BBC Four's Olympic coverage, it's very nice of you to

:42:42.:42:44.

say, you've ticked all the boxes, just waiting for Copaca - Worrall

:42:45.:42:50.

Thompson before I can go to bed. I'm not sure it's going to happen.

:42:51.:42:54.

Normally they are setting up the circuit training by now. We expect

:42:55.:43:03.

him about eight o'clock our time, about midnight back at home. If he's

:43:04.:43:08.

not coming, I might have to send Dan off up and down the beach, the floor

:43:09.:43:14.

manager, Dan, as well as researching moon news, can you see if Antony

:43:15.:43:17.

Worrall Thompson is somewhere else on the beach? I feel that he's

:43:18.:43:21.

genuinely gone. I feel we need to see him. I don't know about you, but

:43:22.:43:27.

that can't be the last time that we see Antony Worrall Thompson the

:43:28.:43:30.

night before last. Lots of other people saying please, please, please

:43:31.:43:34.

can teenage route in the bin men be the new Copaca - binmen hashtag? It

:43:35.:43:42.

was trending on the trot. For several nights. I've come to terms,

:43:43.:43:45.

says Ollie, with the fact the Olympics is coming to an end but I'm

:43:46.:43:51.

not sure I'm ready to say goodbye to Copaca cars- binmen. Lots of people

:43:52.:43:55.

asking if there is a live feed they can hook up to four seeing the

:43:56.:44:04.

binmen. People are asking for their fix of Copaca - binmen, apparently

:44:05.:44:08.

there is one, the Earth satellite, a webcam that you can hook up to, so

:44:09.:44:13.

maybe that will be oversubscribed once these Olympics come to an end.

:44:14.:44:17.

I, like you, feel life will be incomplete without a look at some

:44:18.:44:22.

lovely men called Raphaelite Donatello and Alejandro and Pedro

:44:23.:44:25.

picking up the bins every night. Sean says surely we need to finish

:44:26.:44:31.

off the show tomorrow night with a montage all the Copacabana Sirte and

:44:32.:44:38.

the weirdness of the Games. Many requests, I believe something is in

:44:39.:44:44.

production. -- Copacabanter. Tim is reluctantly going through all the

:44:45.:44:49.

various tapes and recordings of the last few weeks, putting it all

:44:50.:44:54.

together. I'm not sure whether that business of yesterday, the intense

:44:55.:44:57.

reading, is going to make it in there but something will get there.

:44:58.:45:01.

Nigel says, this is the first time I stayed up for the Copacabana -- the

:45:02.:45:07.

Copaca binmen and now I get the bonus of eight Copaca moon. Tony

:45:08.:45:20.

says Copaca lunar would be better. People are asking if we can show

:45:21.:45:24.

they shot off the plane going across the blood red moon. I think we can.

:45:25.:45:28.

Let's have a look at this again, this was pretty special. We've had

:45:29.:45:33.

our red moon, it's going slightly back to normal coloured moon, but

:45:34.:45:37.

have a look at this once again, can we show that? I think we can. Have a

:45:38.:45:43.

look, wait for it. If we just wait, hold on a minute, oh, no, it's gone,

:45:44.:45:50.

I thought we were going to get the binmen in as well, what a huge

:45:51.:45:53.

disappointment. Maybe we've had enough Copaca binmen tonight. Can we

:45:54.:45:59.

see the moon now? It's gone back to somewhat normal colour. I've put out

:46:00.:46:04.

a social media request to Professor Brian Cocks and Dara O Briain as a

:46:05.:46:09.

substitute, so if either of those would like to come on and have a

:46:10.:46:13.

little chat about the science behind the red moon, that would be lovely.

:46:14.:46:18.

We'll take your suggestions as well just in case. Yesterday we were

:46:19.:46:21.

showing you an amazing handball match, a semifinal in the women's

:46:22.:46:26.

competition, Norway against Russia. Unfortunately we had to leave it at

:46:27.:46:30.

2am in the morning your time and the score was 28-28, so they went into

:46:31.:46:34.

extra time for stock they play five minutes each way of extra time. We'd

:46:35.:46:38.

join it at the start of the second period. Russia are leading 34-33.

:46:39.:46:43.

The winner at the end of this goes into the gold medal match. This is

:46:44.:46:47.

Russia taking on more weight, five minutes of extra time to go, Russia

:46:48.:46:49.

with a one goal lead. COMMENTATOR: Five minutes left in

:46:50.:47:03.

the second period of extra time, Norway 33-34 Russia. Can one of

:47:04.:47:07.

these two teams win it in the next five minutes and get through to the

:47:08.:47:15.

final of Rio 2016? Norway on the attack, dropping back again to try

:47:16.:47:19.

to stretch the defence. Christiansen moves into the centre. Lovely, huge

:47:20.:47:28.

angle! Levelling it again! Nipped and tuck between these two teams. A

:47:29.:47:32.

goal one end and a goal at the other. 34-34, another high-scoring

:47:33.:47:41.

game, admittedly three of those goals each have come in the extra

:47:42.:47:47.

time period but still, in normal time, 31-31 is reasonably

:47:48.:47:52.

high-scoring. Keeping to the Russian standard of having pretty much 30

:47:53.:47:58.

goals scored in all bar one of their games so far, only France managed to

:47:59.:48:02.

keep them under the scoreline, 26, and they still won the game. One of

:48:03.:48:06.

these teams will need some Russian standard at the end. That is the

:48:07.:48:11.

turn and it is in the post! The penalty is given. Off the inside of

:48:12.:48:13.

the I should have said. Well, it was two of them. I think

:48:14.:48:31.

one pushed her into the other. Three penalty saves already. Sorry, for

:48:32.:48:39.

penalty saves and on comes Lunde, had 260th International today, using

:48:40.:48:44.

all her experience. But Russia school and they are back in front.

:48:45.:48:52.

35-34. Three and a half minutes left on the clock. Russia is starting to

:48:53.:48:59.

score their seven metre throws now. This is the time to sort that out.

:49:00.:49:08.

On the overlap. Driving in and off the inside of the post but again,

:49:09.:49:14.

penalty given. Such a close call with these situations, whether the

:49:15.:49:17.

defenders are moving or not. The referee is well-placed to see it. In

:49:18.:49:21.

this case, clearly still in movement. If they had managed to

:49:22.:49:24.

close the gap a second earlier, it would have been an attacking foul.

:49:25.:49:31.

She is coolness personified, job done. And once more, it is level

:49:32.:49:34.

with less than three minutes remaining. 14 goals for her. Despite

:49:35.:49:42.

the desperate lunge by the goalkeeper, throwing herself at it

:49:43.:49:45.

and if it is still level at the end of this period, there will be

:49:46.:49:49.

another two times five minutes to play, exhausting for the players,

:49:50.:49:52.

especially given the rhythm they have maintained throughout the

:49:53.:49:58.

semifinal. Finding the back of the net and Russia are back in front,

:49:59.:50:05.

36-35. She has been providing rather than scoring in this game. But today

:50:06.:50:10.

she has come good in extra time. Only a free throw and Norway are

:50:11.:50:13.

still attacking. We are coming towards the two minute mark. Getting

:50:14.:50:18.

away from the marker and releases to the wing, good play and trademark

:50:19.:50:22.

Norwegian move, driving and. Nice and simple, don't over complicate

:50:23.:50:30.

it. This is going to come down to who misses the most, isn't it? They

:50:31.:50:34.

go up the other end, they score, they go up the other end, baseball,

:50:35.:50:39.

whoever makes a mistake, whichever goalkeeper manages to get a

:50:40.:50:41.

fingertip to the ball could be the team to go through to the final. A

:50:42.:50:48.

free throw, the defender coming across very quickly. Good angle for

:50:49.:50:59.

the wing and under the keeper! She doubles up on the left wing, she's

:51:00.:51:04.

quite versatile herself as well. And back, Norway with one minute and 15

:51:05.:51:10.

seconds remaining. Straight through and under the keeper again!

:51:11.:51:20.

Kristiansen. Incredible, it is just straight up each end and as you say,

:51:21.:51:23.

it is going to come down to one save. We are into the last minute

:51:24.:51:32.

now. Who can keep their nerve, here? Good defence, managed to stop her

:51:33.:51:41.

turning and awarded a penalty, just a freak, stopping the clock with 46

:51:42.:51:45.

seconds remaining, the block and thereby the defender who is on a

:51:46.:51:48.

second suspension and they've do add to that engine, they are mopping the

:51:49.:51:52.

floor and the players' hearts are probably beating at 110 miles an

:51:53.:51:56.

hour. They just want to get on with it. Nothing builds tension like

:51:57.:52:01.

mopping the floor! In this scenario, that sentence is bizarrely true.

:52:02.:52:09.

The pass was a bit behind but the shot comes in. Penalty to Russia!

:52:10.:52:15.

And we are almost in an identical scenario to the end of the normal 60

:52:16.:52:22.

minutes. Russia had a penalty with about 30 seconds left on the clock,

:52:23.:52:26.

scored it, look like they had won it and Norway went up the other end and

:52:27.:52:31.

equalised. It was a good save by the goalkeeper but the defenders inside

:52:32.:52:34.

the area, battling away and they both step back into it and Lunde

:52:35.:52:49.

comes on impassively. She scores! And again, Norway up against the

:52:50.:52:55.

clock. 25 seconds left. If Norway don't score in this attack, they are

:52:56.:52:59.

going to be not going through to the final of the Olympic Games.

:53:00.:53:03.

Christiansen out of the wing. It is wide! Norway have missed it! And

:53:04.:53:08.

surely that means Russia are going to be going through to the Olympic

:53:09.:53:12.

final! The Norwegian women stand with their heads in their hands on

:53:13.:53:16.

the side of the court. Because there is the hooter, and there is the

:53:17.:53:22.

final whistle! Norway, the champions in Beijing, the champions in London,

:53:23.:53:26.

but they have been beaten by Russia, who are through to the Olympic

:53:27.:53:34.

final. Incredible scenes! The Russian goalkeeper, absolutely

:53:35.:53:38.

swamped by her team-mates and tears of despair for the Norwegians, who

:53:39.:53:43.

wanted to write their own page of history. But they are thwarted by a

:53:44.:53:47.

Russian team who played their game and play it fast, took the game to

:53:48.:53:51.

them and kept their nerve at the end. An absolutely distraught

:53:52.:53:57.

player, who missed the last lob over the goalkeeper, it was centimetres

:53:58.:54:03.

wide and it could have taken it to another extra time but tears of joy

:54:04.:54:06.

for the Russians. They are trying to come over and consoled. It will take

:54:07.:54:14.

some time before she can get up and come to terms with it. But you

:54:15.:54:19.

cannot fall to her, she tried so hard. It is one of those things but

:54:20.:54:24.

Russia are in a final at the end of an amazing semifinal that goes to

:54:25.:54:29.

extra time. The final score, Norway 37-38 Russian Federation.

:54:30.:54:36.

So there you go, Russia winning by a single point in the end and going

:54:37.:54:42.

onto the final and I think before we finish at 2am, we will have a tiny

:54:43.:54:46.

bit more handle for you. We are going to go back to the basketball

:54:47.:54:50.

very shortly. The handball later is in the men's competition, the

:54:51.:54:53.

semifinal between Poland and Denmark. We told you that Peter

:54:54.:54:58.

Schmeichel actually, the distinctive goalkeeping style, I can't do that

:54:59.:55:04.

had because I've got a microphone, hold on, he learned that as a

:55:05.:55:07.

handball player because it is huge in Scandinavia. Very good game, as

:55:08.:55:13.

is Frescobaldi. We have been telling you a lot about it and waiting to

:55:14.:55:23.

get you some fresco action. Come on, boys, you live on the BBC, let's see

:55:24.:55:30.

how quickly can keep the fresco ball going. If you are ready, we are

:55:31.:55:34.

ready. It's a bit like Dennis but a wooden bat, like a stool ball back.

:55:35.:55:38.

Go again and I will just describe it. The ball is very bouncy. For

:55:39.:55:43.

those of you who missed the early description of fresco ball, it is

:55:44.:55:50.

not a sort of opponent sport. It is more a partner. One of the guys is

:55:51.:55:54.

meant to be smashing it fast and the other one is meant to be deflecting

:55:55.:55:58.

back. These two are in the early stages of fresco ball magic. Let's

:55:59.:56:08.

go and have a quick word. I don't want to put you off on your fresco

:56:09.:56:12.

ball. Let's have a quick word about the Olympic Games. What have you

:56:13.:56:18.

seen so far? I think the Olympic Games are imported to Rio and the

:56:19.:56:23.

tourism because the economy depends on tourism in Rio. So many countries

:56:24.:56:33.

coming here to spend money and watch the Olympic Games. Has it been

:56:34.:56:38.

exciting as a resident of Rio, a Carioca, to see some of the biggest

:56:39.:56:41.

names in the world like Usain Bolt racing last night? We left here at

:56:42.:56:49.

10pm and Usain Bolt's race was about half an hour later and as we were

:56:50.:56:52.

walking down Copacabana, every bar stopped, everyone went quiet and

:56:53.:56:57.

they watched for 20 seconds and then they cheered and shouted. He is a

:56:58.:57:00.

global superstar and he's in your city at the moment along with lots

:57:01.:57:03.

of other massive names from the sporting world. I think it is

:57:04.:57:11.

important because they are famous in the world forever and it is honoured

:57:12.:57:14.

to be here with him because he is a legend. I am now in the same country

:57:15.:57:22.

of him. It's amazing. Lovely to hear. We have also seen just down

:57:23.:57:29.

the way, after Usain Bolt, we saw a fifth gold medal for Brazil in the

:57:30.:57:34.

beach volleyball, Silva in the judo, and in the pole vault as well,

:57:35.:57:39.

concise owl in the boxing and be sailing gold medal yesterday. What

:57:40.:57:44.

has it been like as they host nation to see that as the Copaca-binmen go

:57:45.:57:48.

behind us, it is all coming together now, what has it been like as the

:57:49.:57:54.

host nation. It is our boys as well! Evening, gents! They've got the next

:57:55.:57:57.

one, they've gathered a few on their travels. What has it been like as

:57:58.:58:00.

the host nation to see that success for Brazilians. It is amazing how

:58:01.:58:08.

Brazil can have a lot of... How can I say? A lot of type of different

:58:09.:58:15.

people. It is good, more medals for Brazil. The USA have like 100

:58:16.:58:20.

medals. Team GB are second in the medal table, Great Britain. You

:58:21.:58:26.

know, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Great Britain? We are

:58:27.:58:32.

second, behind USA. Oh, yes, and I think England, how can I say, it is

:58:33.:58:41.

amazing, too. One last one, do you think it will make a difference to

:58:42.:58:46.

Brazil? Maybe both of you can answer this, a difference to Brazil when

:58:47.:58:49.

everyone has left the Olympics are finished and the Paralympics have

:58:50.:58:52.

finished. Two years ago, the World Cup was here as well. Do you think

:58:53.:58:56.

it will make a difference to the people? Of course, the Olympic and

:58:57.:59:04.

the World Cup have a legacy to Brazil because we know the different

:59:05.:59:07.

cultures from Beit other countries, the whole world is watching Brazil

:59:08.:59:15.

now and Rio so we can make the children... Play different sports

:59:16.:59:23.

beside football. Soccer. It is a monoculture. Can I compliment you on

:59:24.:59:33.

your amazing English? It's a word you probably never heard, I feel

:59:34.:59:37.

like a real Luddite listening to use big brilliant English and I can't

:59:38.:59:41.

speak any Portuguese apart from I can say obrigado. I am getting it

:59:42.:59:49.

right, continue with a bit of fresco ball. Lovely to talk to you both. It

:59:50.:59:55.

has been great for us to speak to normal residents of Rio, what you

:59:56.:00:03.

think about Brazilian culture and the Olympics. We will let you enjoy

:00:04.:00:07.

your evening on the beach. Do you want to see if there's any sign of

:00:08.:00:11.

Antony Worrall Thompson? This is like a hole in all of our lives.

:00:12.:00:15.

Look at it, no one here, normally there's people shuffling along the

:00:16.:00:19.

beach and people dragging things and cattle bells and Antony Worrall

:00:20.:00:22.

Thompson sitting over there with his green mussel top or his grey top.

:00:23.:00:29.

Apparently, for all of the Antony Worrall Thompson fans out there, I

:00:30.:00:33.

know he's not here tonight and he leaves a big hole for all of us but

:00:34.:00:38.

we have got some footage of him from a few nights ago if you are really

:00:39.:00:41.

missing the Antony Worrall Thompson hit. Here is a bit of him from a few

:00:42.:00:47.

nights ago. Have a look. This will bring it all back. There he goes. Go

:00:48.:00:52.

on, son! Look at the technic, beautiful, a man who has worked so

:00:53.:00:55.

hard in the last few nights, he did ninth circuit training sessions on

:00:56.:01:00.

the trot and he's brilliant, been a great sport, does not speak anywhere

:01:01.:01:05.

near as good English as Raphael over there but said he did not want to

:01:06.:01:09.

come on the BBC. But he's been very happy to be part of our coverage on

:01:10.:01:13.

BBC Four. I don't know if I could explain to him just how significant

:01:14.:01:17.

a character he has become to the BBC for viewers. But it has been magical

:01:18.:01:22.

for us to spend a few evenings in the present of AWT as we like to

:01:23.:01:29.

call him. No Lunde, no party. This is the basketball, it's in the

:01:30.:01:47.

3rd quarter, Australia against Serbia, Serbia Way ahead of

:01:48.:01:52.

Australia by 21 points. COMMENTATOR:

:01:53.:01:57.

Keep shooting well, Serbia, which they have done so far. It's a tough

:01:58.:02:02.

road for Lemanis' team to get back in. That's the other thing, I know

:02:03.:02:07.

you mentioned Australia were great from the bench but Serbia have been

:02:08.:02:12.

getting 44 points on average from their bench players. Mills has a

:02:13.:02:16.

good look, it's not going to go in and the rebound just saved from

:02:17.:02:26.

being out of bounds. Mills is yet to get firing.

:02:27.:02:33.

There's a foul on Raduljica, forcing his way through the middle. Watch

:02:34.:02:45.

13, he sets the pig. And follows it up. With the chokehold. He was

:02:46.:02:56.

making a meal of it. You know how when you put the chokehold on, you

:02:57.:03:00.

raise your arm to make sure you're still conscious. That's one of the

:03:01.:03:06.

things that can help Australia, they could have had an open three. Ingles

:03:07.:03:15.

moves back. Now takes the job off and hits it. 40-21. Again, it's

:03:16.:03:24.

encouraging from Australia but comms -- but Serbia continued to play the

:03:25.:03:28.

way they have and it's a tough road still for Australia. He's been

:03:29.:03:37.

brilliant. The whole Olympic Games, he's so smart, always seems to make

:03:38.:03:41.

the right decisions, the right path and another fantastic move. Does it

:03:42.:03:49.

sound to you like court -- coach Djordjevic, his whistle sounds

:03:50.:03:52.

exactly like the referee's whistle? I thought it was the players' shoes

:03:53.:03:57.

but it does sound like the referee's whistle. He whistled for his team.

:03:58.:04:05.

Step inside, take the two, he has a nice open look for it. Obviously the

:04:06.:04:13.

director thinks Stimac is the best player on the bench. A great reach,

:04:14.:04:19.

a good cheer, he's done well in a couple of games they have put him

:04:20.:04:24.

in. If Raduljica keeps failing he might get more time. That's what

:04:25.:04:30.

happens, absolutely. At least Australia are topping this corner,

:04:31.:04:34.

they will take that as something, it might be two by the end of this,

:04:35.:04:42.

but... Maybe I've read that too early. The whistle blew before the

:04:43.:04:50.

shot, I assume in the lane to early since everything was in the lane too

:04:51.:04:54.

early but that's a rule that observed mostly by its

:04:55.:04:55.

nonobservance. At least they're slightly getting

:04:56.:05:11.

something going for Serbia at the moment, but a long way to go still.

:05:12.:05:14.

42-23. Ingles is calling for the foul.

:05:15.:05:33.

Australia has outscored 9-7 in this quarter, which is not what they need

:05:34.:05:40.

-- has outscored Serbia. Good pass to Raduljica, he's travelling. Yes,

:05:41.:05:51.

that whistle sounds just like the referee's whistle, doesn't it? It

:05:52.:05:57.

took Raduljica completely by surprise. When someone is coming

:05:58.:06:03.

down for basket and Sasha whistles, they stop.

:06:04.:06:14.

Can't hit the three. Mills with the steal, Mills can't get it to go,

:06:15.:06:20.

Baynes can't get it to go, but Baynes is fouled by Nikola Jokic.

:06:21.:06:27.

Seems to be an improvement in the rebound is from Australia and that

:06:28.:06:31.

was an area that it needed to pick up on. A couple of offensive rebound

:06:32.:06:40.

is there. Nikola Jokic said to the referee he was holding my wrist, he

:06:41.:06:47.

went right over and told him that. You have got to be careful though. A

:06:48.:06:51.

different referee would give a technical foul for that. This is the

:06:52.:07:02.

shot. 82%, he shoots well for a big man. But... 18 point lead. Under six

:07:03.:07:11.

minutes to go in the third. From the Australian perspective it's

:07:12.:07:26.

a matter of keep plodding away at the deficit, give yourself something

:07:27.:07:30.

to work on in the 4th quarter. So far in that respect is going well. I

:07:31.:07:34.

think it's been a bit of an improvement in the way that the

:07:35.:07:37.

offensive movements have gone but still, Serbia are playing extremely

:07:38.:07:42.

well. Teodosic Chas been playing fantastic and they keep shooting

:07:43.:07:47.

well. Markovic handling again, Teodosic should is moved to the

:07:48.:07:51.

bottom. What a great move. Mills, Ingles, he wants to drive.

:07:52.:08:09.

This is the left-hand layout and Serbia come away with the ball.

:08:10.:08:15.

Nothing drops for Australia. Back to Teodosic, inside beautiful pass to

:08:16.:08:23.

Raduljica and he puts it in, 46-24. Of the team they have worked it so

:08:24.:08:28.

well. They are doing what Australia is not, moving the ball around and

:08:29.:08:31.

finding the open play. Fantastic from Serbia. Must be said it doesn't

:08:32.:08:39.

help for Australia when they are shooting at 25% from the field. You

:08:40.:08:46.

cannot win an Olympic game simply -- semifinal shooting at 25%. It would

:08:47.:08:51.

be almost impossible, surely. Raduljica comes out. Three fouls for

:08:52.:08:58.

Raduljica. Usually gets into these situations by the 3rd quarter and

:08:59.:09:06.

gets the rest. Bogut, the team seventh foul halfway through the

:09:07.:09:10.

third period. Australia just having real trouble keeping the lead around

:09:11.:09:16.

20. Absolutely, they have to get to ten, surely. Bogut hasn't fired.

:09:17.:09:25.

Even Dellavedova has been quiet. The Olympic Games he has had have been

:09:26.:09:29.

fantastic. He has barely been able to pass the ball around. Patty Mills

:09:30.:09:33.

from 3-point range has not got going. This is really concerning

:09:34.:09:35.

from the Australian team. Bogdanovich, good pass. Back out.

:09:36.:09:59.

Markovic. Five on the shot clock. A foul. You contrast Australia and

:10:00.:10:05.

Serbia, the scoring from Serbia, is spread all over, several on six,

:10:06.:10:13.

some on eight, leading the way 14, everyone is contributing for

:10:14.:10:16.

Australia. There are so many zeros there, it's not good. When you watch

:10:17.:10:21.

that sequence from Serbia on the last possession, it looks like

:10:22.:10:28.

Australia in most of it. Absolutely, they've taken the Australia

:10:29.:10:31.

offensive and added the offensive here. Making the extra pass, making

:10:32.:10:37.

good use of the extra pass. Absolutely.

:10:38.:10:46.

The Serbia women tomorrow will play France in the bronze medal game,

:10:47.:11:07.

followed by Spain and the US in the gold medal game. A magnificent

:11:08.:11:16.

Olympic Games for Serbia in the basketball, part of the great

:11:17.:11:19.

Yugoslavian teams of the past. This is the second time the men's team

:11:20.:11:24.

have come as a team Serbia to the Olympic Games. For the women, is

:11:25.:11:28.

their first time. They've been magnificent and this one. Just in

:11:29.:11:33.

the points scoring, Australia had never scored less than 81 at the

:11:34.:11:38.

Olympic Games. They are not going to get anywhere near that. Only a 25

:11:39.:11:44.

and we're coming towards the end of the 3rd quarter. That is

:11:45.:11:48.

extraordinary, the defensive work from Serbia. Stefan Bircevic, made

:11:49.:11:53.

an Olympic debut in Atlanta with a silver medal in 1996. They haven't

:11:54.:11:59.

muddled since. That was Yugoslavia, together, at that point in 96, so

:12:00.:12:01.

this is Serbia just as Serbia. He takes his shirt off, and

:12:02.:12:19.

exchange. They must be absolute to delighted, they are 23 points ahead

:12:20.:12:24.

here. I'm not sure when Djordjevic was drawing up the game plan which

:12:25.:12:27.

has worked brilliantly that it would work this well. Absolutely not. For

:12:28.:12:33.

and a half to play in the third. Patty Mills has had to work very

:12:34.:12:37.

hard. He's got very little reward for it. In the corner Ingles 43.

:12:38.:12:45.

That one won't go, the rebound to Motum. 48-27 now. Pressure from

:12:46.:12:57.

Australia. They double inside but Stefan Jovic is able to get the ball

:12:58.:13:02.

out. It was a pretty brilliant play by Stefan Jovic to manage himself

:13:03.:13:06.

out of bounds and pass it out. That's a call right there, is the

:13:07.:13:12.

dosage, Australia pressing, they give Serbia pressure. 51-29. At

:13:13.:13:23.

least they are stepping up the pace, Australia, that will be encouraging

:13:24.:13:30.

for them. But mills -- but Milos Teodosic, what a remarkable player,

:13:31.:13:33.

17 points in this one, he's been a real leader for them.

:13:34.:13:42.

Damian Martin is coming into the game, as there was a foul behind the

:13:43.:13:52.

play after the basket for holding. A technical, no less.

:13:53.:14:10.

Two shots at the basket there, I wonder if that was the two

:14:11.:14:22.

technicals. Or was that the 16th? And another sportsmanlike, get they

:14:23.:14:26.

get the two shots, we didn't know what it was for because we didn't

:14:27.:14:30.

see it, didn't see the referee's signal. It could be where he is

:14:31.:14:35.

preventing the fast break. He was holding, he grabs the wrist, that

:14:36.:14:41.

was it, Ingles. With the offensive foul, pretty clear there. Set.

:14:42.:14:50.

Mirsky really difficult for Australia, what do you do to get

:14:51.:14:56.

back in this? You have not looked good the whole game, you are down by

:14:57.:15:00.

24 point and is only three minutes left in the third quarter. Serbia

:15:01.:15:05.

have not been bothered at all. It has left openings for the fence on

:15:06.:15:15.

the court. You have to take risks but the risks are risks for reason

:15:16.:15:19.

and even though Patty Mills is starting to get into gear, here, it

:15:20.:15:23.

is still a really tough job for Australia. Serbia have been

:15:24.:15:27.

magnificent. They have to see this out now. They lead by 24.

:15:28.:15:43.

Teodosic gasoline sword and banks it in. He's a remarkable, what a player

:15:44.:15:50.

and the way they have played has also given the team confidence

:15:51.:15:53.

because when you are dominating by so much, you are forcing Australia

:15:54.:15:57.

into difficult things and positions, then you grow in belief that this is

:15:58.:16:01.

working. Mills has decided to take this on his own shoulders and there

:16:02.:16:07.

is a foul as both Martin and Brock Motum played Mills' rebound.

:16:08.:16:14.

Teodosic is seven from 12 from the floor. They have not been easy shots

:16:15.:16:20.

for the most part. He's a remarkable talent but he is so intelligent. I

:16:21.:16:25.

think he has the -- don't think he has the silky skills some of the

:16:26.:16:28.

other players in the Olympic Games but uses his smarts so well, not

:16:29.:16:32.

that he is technically not he is technically good. Still, 33 points

:16:33.:16:45.

in almost three quarters of basketball, I can't remember a score

:16:46.:16:48.

this low at the Olympic Games in the men's basketball.

:16:49.:16:58.

It is Martin. Takes a look at the replay to see how the fouled. -- how

:16:59.:17:12.

he fouled. It is all the more remarkable because of the strength

:17:13.:17:16.

of Australia's run through the group and the quarterfinals. They

:17:17.:17:22.

certainly seemed to be the second-best team in the tournament

:17:23.:17:27.

at that point and maybe to some extent, they got caught looking past

:17:28.:17:32.

Serbia. It's possible. They were kind of a surprise Dean Budd Serbia

:17:33.:17:35.

has come out and played easily the best game I have seen them play in

:17:36.:17:40.

this tournament. -- a surprise team but Serbia. But the potential was

:17:41.:17:45.

there, you saw it against the US, they were remarkable in that game as

:17:46.:17:49.

well but also, the important thing, maybe a factor for Australia was

:17:50.:17:52.

that they were a victim of their own success, they were so comfortable in

:17:53.:17:55.

every game apart from the USA game and they really pushed it that they

:17:56.:17:59.

have never been in this situation. They have never had to solve this

:18:00.:18:03.

problem before. When it was presented to them, they did not have

:18:04.:18:07.

the solution. And right now, they need to be looking primarily for

:18:08.:18:10.

three pointers if they can but they are not getting them. Ryan Broekhoff

:18:11.:18:19.

is followed after the shot by Bogdanovic. Two minutes to go.

:18:20.:18:24.

Serbia won't mind giving up fouls right now because the way it is

:18:25.:18:30.

going, they are looking comfortable. You may call that fairly simple. I

:18:31.:18:36.

guess the advantage is for the foul, for them, is that if both are made,

:18:37.:18:40.

then there is no rebound to get and they just get the ball back and eat

:18:41.:18:46.

up more time. All three are made because Ryan Broekhoff will shoot

:18:47.:18:52.

three. The ninth team foul in this quarter for Serbia. And it has not

:18:53.:18:56.

really hurt them. And it did not against the US, I think it helped

:18:57.:19:00.

them, they gave away about 45 free throws in that one.

:19:01.:19:09.

Welcomer Australia came out in the 2nd quarter and got the Bezy Boyd

:19:10.:19:16.

and then Serbia rolled back and came out in the 3rd quarter and got the

:19:17.:19:20.

first keyboard and then Serbia rolled back again. Just increasing

:19:21.:19:25.

their lead at every opportunity. It was built on that magnificent 1st

:19:26.:19:27.

quarter from Serbia when they were just outstanding. From the very

:19:28.:19:35.

first play of the game, they showed tremendous intensity. Two minutes to

:19:36.:19:39.

play in the 3rd quarter. Ryan Broekhoff with all three of his

:19:40.:19:43.

shots so Australia trailed by 22. And Serbia make the press quite

:19:44.:19:51.

easily, Milan Macvan. Stefan Jovic. Kalinic. Shooting the fall away and

:19:52.:20:08.

smoothly through. 60-36. Mills. Joe Ingles drives and lays it in. Great

:20:09.:20:10.

hands by Joe Ingles. But Serbia will be absolutely

:20:11.:20:23.

delighted to take this lead into the 4th quarter. Again, they break the

:20:24.:20:28.

press very easily but Joe Ingles get his hand on the cross and the ball

:20:29.:20:32.

goes out of bounds and Serbia have 15 left on the shot clock and 18 it

:20:33.:20:37.

in the quarter and lead by 22. Do you keep on pressing like that

:20:38.:20:41.

because Serbia are getting through so comfortably? Maybe you try a

:20:42.:20:44.

different press but Serbia recognised it quickly that they

:20:45.:20:49.

could get a man to the centre of the court and break it that way.

:20:50.:20:57.

Kalinic. Trying to break it up but they just spin around and find the

:20:58.:21:02.

open man, Markovic laying it in. 62-38 with one minutes to play in

:21:03.:21:07.

the third. Underneath the basket, trying to reverse it but it won't go

:21:08.:21:12.

because Nikola Jokic has the block and here comes Serbia. Inside to

:21:13.:21:20.

Milan Macvan and the layout is good, 64-38. They are just piling it on.

:21:21.:21:26.

So consistent. It has been an extraordinary performance from

:21:27.:21:28.

Serbia and they are finishing the quarter strongly as well. They have

:21:29.:21:32.

just been outstanding. Australia has no answer. In and out of three,

:21:33.:21:36.

rebound to Kalinic. We shouldn't forget that Serbia were

:21:37.:21:52.

runners-up at the World Championships in 2014. Yeah, we knew

:21:53.:21:58.

that. But they were underdogs coming into this. It has been remarkable.

:21:59.:22:02.

There they go again. This is incredible. Even that was defended

:22:03.:22:09.

and stopped. So, I mean, if Serbia go on to win this game, the fact of

:22:10.:22:14.

it will not be that it is an upset, per se, although it is to some

:22:15.:22:18.

extent but not a major upset, not like Nigeria beating Croatia. The

:22:19.:22:23.

fact that they did it so easily, that is what the amazing thing is,

:22:24.:22:26.

that they are so dominant in a game against a team who we said at the

:22:27.:22:31.

beginning, they are two very evenly matched teams but look at the

:22:32.:22:35.

difference in everything, almost every statistic. At three points, it

:22:36.:22:39.

is incredible, two from 20 from Australia, they would be nowhere

:22:40.:22:44.

near that lower percentage from 3-point range. And points from

:22:45.:22:53.

turnovers as well. That is the end of the 3rd quarter.

:22:54.:22:57.

The coverage will continue this one on the BBC website and via the

:22:58.:23:01.

sports app. I hope you appreciate that because it is so one-sided in

:23:02.:23:05.

Serbia's favour, we are going to leave it at this point. If you want

:23:06.:23:09.

to continue to watch the basketball, you can on the website or the app

:23:10.:23:13.

and we're going to go and take you to some handball in about ten

:23:14.:23:17.

minutes time, which is the semifinal of the men's match which we hope is

:23:18.:23:20.

as dramatic as the women's match between Norway and Russia that we

:23:21.:23:24.

watched yesterday. Poland against Denmark in about five minutes time

:23:25.:23:28.

but on day 14 of these games, let's bring you some real headlines. --

:23:29.:23:32.

Rio headlines. What a night in a hardy, gold for

:23:33.:23:42.

Team GB, brilliant performance from goalkeeper Maddie Hinch, 3-3 in

:23:43.:23:45.

normal time, it went to penalties and Hollie Webb got the decider, to

:23:46.:23:48.

give Team GB their first-ever Olympic gold.

:23:49.:23:55.

It was tense for Nick Skelton involved in a six way jump-off for

:23:56.:23:59.

gold in the individual show-jumping but he did it. Remarkably, this is

:24:00.:24:08.

his seventh Olympic Games. There might be another gold for

:24:09.:24:11.

Lutalo Muhammad later tonight at 2:15am in the UK comedy has a gold

:24:12.:24:15.

medal match after making it successfully through his semifinal

:24:16.:24:22.

in some style. -- in the UK, he has. Joe Joyce also has a chance of a

:24:23.:24:27.

gold medal. This is the same heavyweight division,

:24:28.:24:29.

superheavyweight, that Anthony Joshua won in 2012 and Joe Joyce is

:24:30.:24:34.

into the final and if he does win the gold, hopefully we will see

:24:35.:24:37.

plenty more of this from the big man. That's impressive, isn't it? So

:24:38.:24:43.

if you think about it, two guaranteed silvers and two potential

:24:44.:24:48.

gold medals, this is how the medal table looks at the moment and it's

:24:49.:24:52.

amazing to think that Team GB, explaining to our two Brazilian

:24:53.:24:55.

friends earlier, made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and

:24:56.:25:02.

Wales, 24 gold medals, 21 silver medals, 13 bronze medals, 58 in

:25:03.:25:09.

total, seven short of the 65 we got in London four years ago. And it was

:25:10.:25:15.

29 gold medals that time around. We will see what happens in the last

:25:16.:25:17.

few days of these Olympic Games. Handball coming up shortly but I

:25:18.:25:27.

know a lot of you were watching BBC One... Good evening! Team GB were

:25:28.:25:30.

involved in the gold-medal match against the number one ranked side

:25:31.:25:33.

in the world, the Netherlands. We have shown you that they won the

:25:34.:25:37.

gold medal but if you were watching on BBC Four and you missed it, this

:25:38.:25:41.

is how the Magic took place. COMMENTATOR: We are ready for 60

:25:42.:25:46.

minutes of blood, sweat and ultimately, tears, one way or the

:25:47.:25:51.

other. Helen Richardson-Walsh waiting in the centre of the circle.

:25:52.:25:56.

Off the legs and this time it is scored! Great Britain are in front!

:25:57.:26:02.

Lily Owsley strikes. The Dutch are inside the circle and Maddie Hinch

:26:03.:26:06.

is out and the angle, it is a goal! Kitty Van Male. It is a goal for the

:26:07.:26:14.

Netherlands, 2-1 in front, and a chance for Crista Cullen, who has

:26:15.:26:21.

scored! Kitty Van Male gets her goal, her second. Great Britain

:26:22.:26:29.

level! Penalty shoot out. That is the golden goal! Great Britain have

:26:30.:26:33.

won the Olympic gold medal! Absolutely brilliant, what drama,

:26:34.:26:43.

what emotion and hopefully we will speak to three or four of those GB

:26:44.:26:48.

hockey stars on BBC for tomorrow. I believe that is about 9:30am your --

:26:49.:26:56.

9:30pm your time. I really hope goalkeeper Maddie Hinch is among the

:26:57.:26:59.

because she was an absolute superstar tonight. I don't know if

:27:00.:27:03.

you saw the picture on social media of her water bottle, her drinks

:27:04.:27:06.

bottle while she was in goal and on it was written her name and then a

:27:07.:27:12.

sticker down the side that said," relax, hands up, chin out" and then

:27:13.:27:21.

right at the bottom it says, "Stay big", which is good advice for us

:27:22.:27:25.

all! She would be rather good at this game as well because we're

:27:26.:27:28.

going to show you some handball now which is so fast. When I came to

:27:29.:27:33.

Rio, two weeks ago, handball was the first thing that I saw live and I

:27:34.:27:38.

was hooked. It's amazing to watch. Last night we saw a brilliant

:27:39.:27:41.

semifinal in the women's tournament between Russia and Norway. Evening,

:27:42.:27:48.

gentlemen! Norway pushed Rush all the way and it went to extra time

:27:49.:27:51.

and in the end Russia won the match in extra time by a single goal.

:27:52.:27:55.

Tonight we are going to go to the men's semifinal. This is Poland

:27:56.:27:59.

taking on Denmark. Before we get to the action itself, this is a quick

:28:00.:28:02.

reminder of how handball works. Olympic handball is a fast flowing,

:28:03.:28:16.

high-scoring, body contact game which is played over two heart of 30

:28:17.:28:22.

minutes. It is played by two teams of seven players, six outfield

:28:23.:28:25.

players and the goalkeeper. Each goal is surrounded by a semicircle

:28:26.:28:29.

which is indicated by a line, six metres from the goal. Only the

:28:30.:28:34.

defending goalkeeper is allowed in this area. Players can move with the

:28:35.:28:38.

ball by dribbling and passing in the same way that a basketball player

:28:39.:28:41.

would. They can block the ball with their head, chest, thighs and knees

:28:42.:28:46.

but players cannot stand still with the ball for more than three seconds

:28:47.:28:51.

at a time. If a player commits a foul, the referee can award a free

:28:52.:28:55.

throw or a seven metre shot. It is taken from the seven metre line and

:28:56.:28:59.

is given when the referee ruled that someone has prevented a goal-scoring

:29:00.:29:03.

opportunity. A free throw is like a free in football and is generally

:29:04.:29:07.

taken from the spot where the foul occurred. But it is taken from the

:29:08.:29:11.

free throw line if it happens inside this area. Over time is only played

:29:12.:29:16.

during the knockout phase if scores are tied at the end of regulation

:29:17.:29:20.

time. If this happens, teams play five minutes extra and only play

:29:21.:29:24.

another five minutes if the scorer still level. If the teams are still

:29:25.:29:28.

tied at the end of this overtime period, the result is decided by a

:29:29.:29:33.

shoot out. That's how it works. We told you

:29:34.:29:37.

earlier that Peter Schmeichel perfected his goalkeeping technique

:29:38.:29:40.

playing handball in Denmark and I'm sure he's watching his beloved

:29:41.:29:44.

countrymen tonight taking on Poland. This is the semifinal, remember, so

:29:45.:29:47.

the winner goes into the gold-medal match. , Terry from Paul Bray and

:29:48.:29:53.

Jack Nicholson. Look at this huddle! This is how to do it. Get ready for

:29:54.:29:57.

this because I've got a feeling this is going to be intense. Enjoy some

:29:58.:29:59.

handball on BBC Four. COMMENTATOR:

:30:00.:30:15.

The same could be said of course of London.

:30:16.:30:24.

So the players just making their way out onto the court. The Danes a

:30:25.:30:31.

little slower to get out there than the Polish players. Some final

:30:32.:30:44.

high-fives all around. Poland versus Denmark under way in the Olympic

:30:45.:30:50.

semifinal. It's Poland in the red, playing from left to right. Denmark

:30:51.:30:54.

in the white, playing from right-to-left, and both of these

:30:55.:30:58.

sides looking to get into the semifinal for the first time in

:30:59.:31:03.

their history. Denmark, a win for them, sorry, to into the final, it

:31:04.:31:08.

would guarantee them a medal and it would be their first Olympic

:31:09.:31:13.

handball medal. There's a low shot win and it's Morten Olsen who has

:31:14.:31:18.

got the Danes off to a perfect start inside 30 seconds and now the Polish

:31:19.:31:22.

players come forward for their first attack.

:31:23.:31:27.

An excellent start by Denmark, Morten Olsen is straight on, such an

:31:28.:31:34.

entertaining player but so often gets left on the bench for that

:31:35.:31:38.

little bit longer. In the centre of the defence as they come back that

:31:39.:31:41.

Danes have the brothers working together. I good save. Hansen comes

:31:42.:31:52.

down. Good cover by Poland. Pick up all the players. His counterpart at

:31:53.:32:05.

the other end plays for the Polish champions. They both play in

:32:06.:32:09.

Germany, though not at the same time. Never quite team-mates, but oh

:32:10.:32:17.

so close. Olsen, that came off the defender. Majewski may have got a

:32:18.:32:27.

touch on it. -- Majewski. Olsen was meant to be other world last year

:32:28.:32:31.

but fractured his nose literally just before travelling out in their

:32:32.:32:38.

last game. There he is again. Two goals for Olsen. A simple setup but

:32:39.:32:47.

the defence too static at the moment. They are standing back and

:32:48.:32:50.

back and watching and the thing with him is he has such a good low shot

:32:51.:32:55.

but also quick acceleration. It make defence is a bit nervous about

:32:56.:32:59.

pushing up. They have to get there early. Meanwhile, the Danish defence

:33:00.:33:06.

are playing on a nine-metre line. They have Daszek on the line as

:33:07.:33:10.

well, trying to get through Rene Toft Hansen. He was coaching Hungary

:33:11.:33:20.

until the European Championships this year, didn't quite work out. So

:33:21.:33:28.

now coaching Poland. Another good save. Denmark coming forward, trying

:33:29.:33:36.

to make it 3-0. Close down, as Mikkel Hansen, they wait for the

:33:37.:33:40.

attacking players to come back on, having a conversation with

:33:41.:33:44.

Mortensen, number six there, and on again comes that man, how they

:33:45.:33:51.

missed him in the European Championships. They are showing here

:33:52.:33:56.

what they are capable of by getting into the last four of the Olympics,

:33:57.:33:59.

maybe even better. Olsen across to Hansen. Again, he has wriggled

:34:00.:34:05.

through. He has won the penalty time. His hand grabbed. It's Adam

:34:06.:34:15.

Wisniewski who has committed that foul, quite clear one. Olsen causing

:34:16.:34:22.

all manner of problems for the Polish defence early on. Hansen

:34:23.:34:32.

faces Szmal. Comfortably taken, Szmal committed himself a little too

:34:33.:34:39.

early. Goes up, shoots down next to the standing leg. A fraction of a

:34:40.:34:48.

second. The big bandage around the face of Hansen, he picked up a cut

:34:49.:34:52.

in the closing stages of their defeat to France in the group

:34:53.:34:56.

stages. Looked terrible at the time but mercifully he came straight

:34:57.:35:02.

back. Saved by Niklas Landin Jacobsen, but it won't count. Unlike

:35:03.:35:08.

Rene Toft Hansen, tries to get things organised. -- Henrik Toft

:35:09.:35:16.

Hansen. A sleeping defence, Toft went down and there was a gap

:35:17.:35:21.

straight through the middle. It's taken four and a half minutes but

:35:22.:35:34.

they get scoring. He finally beat Niklas Landin Jacobsen, who has

:35:35.:35:38.

played so well so far. It came about because of the slipping defence. An

:35:39.:35:43.

impressive opening five minutes for Denmark, 3-1 up against Poland. Here

:35:44.:35:47.

they come gain with Hansen inside to Olsen. Very briefly Poland appeared

:35:48.:35:55.

to be changing to a 501. Hansen has lifted -- shifted to the right. Did

:35:56.:36:03.

very well indeed, finds the right winger who has come in as a second

:36:04.:36:10.

line player. A foul on him. He gets a yellow card. Two line players

:36:11.:36:17.

there. A bit of a shove in the act of shooting. Not a bad line player

:36:18.:36:22.

either. So five and a half minutes played and you would say a 4-1 lead

:36:23.:36:31.

for Denmark. Bielecki comes on, he has a huge shot on him. Denmark are

:36:32.:36:37.

pushing up, there's a lot of depth to this Polish attack. Krzysztof

:36:38.:36:50.

Lijewski is pushing out, two minute suspension and hands clasped

:36:51.:36:54.

together makes no difference, Toft gets his first two minutes. Here is

:36:55.:37:03.

the fowl. He gives him a bit of a shove in the back. Denmark down to

:37:04.:37:08.

six players for the next two minutes. That's blase Soren Hansen's

:37:09.:37:18.

45th goal of the tournament. Here come Poland down the wing, just a

:37:19.:37:24.

little bit beyond Bielecki. Poland waste another opportunity going

:37:25.:37:34.

forward. Now we are seeing Denmark, their goalkeeper has come off so

:37:35.:37:38.

they are evening it up, six players forward and the goal empty. Changing

:37:39.:37:45.

defence from the Poles to see if they can sneak the ball and get the

:37:46.:37:53.

empty goal. Daszek is coming out and staying with Olsen but they have

:37:54.:37:56.

switched back. They did that last time. Luckily for them the whistle

:37:57.:37:59.

is already gone. Olsen followed them in. It stays 4-1.

:38:00.:38:08.

Krzysztof Lijewski and Przemyslaw Krajewski the defence specialists

:38:09.:38:19.

for now. Here come Poland again then. One little ball inside. The

:38:20.:38:28.

ball is in. It's finished up by Yanukovych. Another two minute

:38:29.:38:36.

suspension. There was a bush. No, it's not, the referee just wanted a

:38:37.:38:40.

little word with the Danish players -- there was a push. There was a

:38:41.:38:45.

push in their from Mikkel Hansen and it was the yellow card, that is what

:38:46.:38:52.

he has given, a yellow card to Mikkel Hansen. Denmark will try to

:38:53.:38:56.

come forward again. With eight minutes, they are two goals to the

:38:57.:39:03.

good. He was probably happy to move back out of the way so the ball can

:39:04.:39:07.

cross between the other two players. The open goal back once. Straight

:39:08.:39:11.

down the middle. They are the easy ones. Jachlewski scoring a third

:39:12.:39:20.

goal now for Poland. There was the pass intercepted and there is the

:39:21.:39:24.

view from down the edge. Olsen looks back rather ruefully. Niklas Landin

:39:25.:39:35.

Jacobsen can do nothing about it. He didn't even bother. He looked happy.

:39:36.:39:40.

Still they are staying now with Olsen. They are changing all the

:39:41.:39:44.

time. The problem is every time they drop back, the Danes seem to drive

:39:45.:39:48.

it in and take a shot, this time Hansen from the other side. But

:39:49.:39:52.

there's only one goal in it. Slowly and surely the Polish team are

:39:53.:39:54.

coming back. Here they come, Poland three,

:39:55.:40:08.

Denmark four, with nine minutes played. Denmark just taking a little

:40:09.:40:12.

bit of time to settle into it. Bielecki out to the right. The ball

:40:13.:40:23.

back inside. Nicely worked down to the wing. Saved again by Niklas

:40:24.:40:29.

Landin Jacobsen. It was Adam Wisniewski coming in from the left

:40:30.:40:34.

wing. A good save and the third one of the game fought Niklas Landin

:40:35.:40:44.

Jacobsen. A response straightaway. He surrounds the defender, just

:40:45.:40:52.

inside the post. An attack for him and the Danes pushed deeper gain.

:40:53.:41:05.

Syprzak comes on, the towering player trying to find him. There has

:41:06.:41:11.

been one substitution in the competition so far. That is the

:41:12.:41:18.

danger, it has made him the top scorer in the competition so far,

:41:19.:41:23.

Krzysztof Lijewski across court. He shoots around with no take off, the

:41:24.:41:29.

gap now one goal. We have passed the ten minute mark here and the Polish

:41:30.:41:37.

team with its deep defence, Christophe Lijewski pushes up. Toft

:41:38.:41:41.

moves into the gap behind. The break is on. The ball is picked up in

:41:42.:41:50.

midair, somehow comes back to Hansen and the break is on the other way.

:41:51.:41:53.

Hansen very kindly gives it straight back to the Poles. Didn't see anyone

:41:54.:42:00.

coming up behind him. Team-mates may be could have given him a yellow and

:42:01.:42:04.

the captain doesn't look too amused. A string of errors on both sides.

:42:05.:42:11.

The Poles try to resume things more quietly, the third turnover for

:42:12.:42:16.

Denmark already in this game. That Poles' options at the back

:42:17.:42:21.

restricted. Gierak had to be substituted through injury. There

:42:22.:42:27.

was an ankle injury in the group stages, hasn't played since, but he

:42:28.:42:30.

is on the bench. It will be interesting to see if they use them.

:42:31.:42:37.

The defenders are pulled out. As a result there is more space at the

:42:38.:42:44.

back for Syprzak. A lovely ball in from Bielecki and an awful lot of

:42:45.:42:51.

space. This time he has beaten Niklas Landin Jacobsen, who in

:42:52.:42:55.

general has been on form in the opening 12 minutes with a 50% safe

:42:56.:43:06.

rate for the 27-year-old. -- save rate. Here come Denmark again. A

:43:07.:43:11.

ball back from Hansen to Christiansen, picked up by

:43:12.:43:17.

Mortensen. Christiansen again. Toft getting really involved on the line.

:43:18.:43:21.

There's a bit of a shove over. Play on. They were anyway. Christiansen

:43:22.:43:30.

finds the back of the net again. Gudjohnsen looks on impassively,

:43:31.:43:33.

nice and simple. The defence absent down the middle. The back player

:43:34.:43:40.

goes straight through on the opposite side. Christiansen is

:43:41.:43:46.

moving to Germany next season. He will be there with Poland's number

:43:47.:43:53.

13, Bartosz Jurecki, who is joining them as well. He's not on the court

:43:54.:44:01.

yet. The whistle had gone. A two minute suspension. Committed by

:44:02.:44:11.

Christiansen. Grabs the shirt and latches on like a limpet. Just

:44:12.:44:19.

afraid the referee hadn't spotted it. Two goals in a couple of minutes

:44:20.:44:25.

for Christiansen. Now a two minute suspension. Poland will have the

:44:26.:44:28.

extra player. They have a chance now to draw level

:44:29.:44:38.

for the first time in the match other than of course when it was 0-0

:44:39.:44:46.

at the start. He tried to dive in and delays, saved by the feet of

:44:47.:44:50.

Niklas Landin Jacobsen but the whistle had already gone. It's such

:44:51.:44:58.

a shame, they didn't spread their defence is very wide. They are

:44:59.:45:02.

trying to batter down the front door at the moment. The wing has had

:45:03.:45:06.

space on either side. He needed the diagonal ball but they are sitting

:45:07.:45:09.

there waving and now for Denmark comes on the man with the huge shot,

:45:10.:45:19.

Mads Mensah Larsen. He is not a quick, mobile quick change of

:45:20.:45:22.

direction kind of player. He is one of those who give him a bit of space

:45:23.:45:26.

and he will launch a long-range effort.

:45:27.:45:31.

They are so dangerous from that kind of range, Denmark. Four of their

:45:32.:45:38.

seven goals have come from nine metres in this match so far. The

:45:39.:45:46.

defender, Matthaeus goes moving up to slowly to block that one. Denmark

:45:47.:45:52.

has scored four of their seven shots from nine metres but Poland have

:45:53.:45:56.

only had one long-range attempt, Bielik eat's goal earlier. At the

:45:57.:45:59.

moment, they are keeping him out of the game at the cost of the defence

:46:00.:46:04.

but still, the wingers are not getting the ball, it is going

:46:05.:46:07.

between back players and they are trying to force it to the line. That

:46:08.:46:17.

has been intercepted, they were well covered, one of them was standing

:46:18.:46:19.

behind his left shoulder, he was that fast. He had gone up but was

:46:20.:46:26.

well covered. Mensah Larsen will shift back to the right back

:46:27.:46:30.

position. Normally the centre left back. Back to full strength again so

:46:31.:46:36.

quietly but surely, the goalkeeper can handle back in. Morten Olsen in

:46:37.:46:41.

the centre. So far, so good for Denmark. Hansen. Olsen has got a bit

:46:42.:46:49.

of room. Coming into flat in the defence and so much power that the

:46:50.:46:52.

goalkeeper could only push it into his own goal. : 5-9 Denmark at the

:46:53.:46:58.

halfway stage of the first half, Hansen, barely a gap but he just

:46:59.:47:07.

managed to find it. -- Poland 5-9 Denmark. Frustrating for Poland to

:47:08.:47:10.

concede, they had so many opportunities to keep it out but

:47:11.:47:18.

found that width of a hand. Back they come for the moment. It will be

:47:19.:47:24.

a free throw, Krajewski has come into the attack. A team time-out has

:47:25.:47:27.

been called by Poland, struggling a little. Three goals adrift at the

:47:28.:47:33.

halfway mark. We will hear from Talant Dujshebaev.

:47:34.:48:22.

We can see these great pictures from the game so far. In addition to

:48:23.:48:31.

coaching the national team, he also coaches the Polish champions, Talant

:48:32.:48:34.

Dujshebaev who won the European Champions League this season, the

:48:35.:48:45.

first time. Very aggressive, Russian born, change nationalities banished

:48:46.:48:48.

but speaks fluent Polish after three years in the country with 60 minutes

:48:49.:48:58.

on the clock, Poland need to get some -- 16 minutes left on the

:48:59.:49:02.

clock, Poland need to get back in the game and I think we will have a

:49:03.:49:09.

discussion here. The goal was scored but Mensah Larsen giving a warning,

:49:10.:49:14.

ironically by fouling him, opening up the space. -- given a warning.

:49:15.:49:23.

Easy goal in the end for Syprzak, putting it under the goalkeeper and

:49:24.:49:26.

Mensah Larsen was concerned because he thought he would get more than an

:49:27.:49:30.

earful from the referee but in the end he just had a short word with

:49:31.:49:33.

him but after the team time-out, noticeable that Bartosz Jurecki has

:49:34.:49:40.

come on and they have got two recognise line players in a 4- to

:49:41.:49:48.

attack. They have Jachlewski trying to mark Olsen who is still finding

:49:49.:49:54.

space. Although he seems to have a bit of a twinge. He runs around

:49:55.:49:59.

Mattei is close, the defence specialist, cannot match the pace

:50:00.:50:03.

and then just spins around and shoot. -- he runs around Kus. : 6-9

:50:04.:50:11.

Denmark, Poland struggling to deal with the threat of Olsen and Hansen.

:50:12.:50:16.

A stumble and they get it out of the wing and again by Niklas Landin.

:50:17.:50:22.

Another save for the Danish keeper. The fifth save of the game so far.

:50:23.:50:29.

What a performance this is turning into for him. He will be annoyed

:50:30.:50:35.

with that, so much hype and so much time but that is an incredible pass,

:50:36.:50:42.

planning of Bielecki, quick throw by Denmark, not hanging around and

:50:43.:50:47.

Olsen straight onto the attack. Get the shot straight into the keeper,

:50:48.:50:55.

missed. And it's all a bit untidy. Casper Mortensen has got it now and

:50:56.:51:00.

will head back into the swing. Rene Toft Hansen somehow managed to hang

:51:01.:51:03.

onto the loose ball, him and his brother Henrik taking turns in

:51:04.:51:07.

attack on the line. They both play in exactly the same position. So,

:51:08.:51:15.

Mensah Larsen pushed back as Hansen is being closely watched by

:51:16.:51:20.

Jachlewski. Mensah Larsen, platters in off the crossbar, the pick-up is

:51:21.:51:24.

missed and the brake is on. Back into the centre and Kus, well, the

:51:25.:51:30.

defender in the rarefied atmosphere of the other half will stop one of

:51:31.:51:36.

his rare goals. Poland 8-9 Denmark, a couple of quick goals from Poland

:51:37.:51:39.

and they are looking in a bit better shape. Not only a rare goal for him,

:51:40.:51:48.

his only goal of the Olympics. And his face in his Poland career,

:51:49.:51:52.

albeit it is only his 12th appearance but nevertheless. -- his

:51:53.:52:00.

fifth. Mensah Larsen. Olsen tries to wriggle around and Mensah Larsen

:52:01.:52:05.

driving in and another quick break for Poland. Skipping through and

:52:06.:52:12.

finding the back of the net! Mishal Paseka Springs clear and Poland have

:52:13.:52:16.

managed to draw level, 19 minutes in, 9-9. What an incredibly good

:52:17.:52:22.

goal, look at his arm when he shoots. He is going to smash it into

:52:23.:52:27.

the back of the goal and realises he had to spin it and take the pace of

:52:28.:52:31.

the ball and runs his hand around the side. It was class, and team

:52:32.:52:33.

time-out now for Denmark. Mensah Larsen has been trying to

:52:34.:53:43.

draw the attention of the defenders and Daszek is starting to find space

:53:44.:53:50.

on the fast break. On the back of that team time-out for Denmark, both

:53:51.:53:54.

teams have had one so far. Still, Olsen in the middle and the veteran

:53:55.:54:04.

of 168 has come on for Denmark now, their second most capped player

:54:05.:54:09.

after Jesper Noddesbo, who has not been an yet. Sondergaard into the

:54:10.:54:19.

wing. That is quite nice because he has got himself straight onto the

:54:20.:54:21.

scoresheet, Sondergaard. He and Mads Christiansen, the only

:54:22.:54:34.

two who play their club Paderborn Denmark, the rest of them in

:54:35.:54:39.

Germany, nine of them and two in France, and a couple in Spain as

:54:40.:54:46.

well. 27 seconds on the court was Sondergaard and one goal. And now,

:54:47.:54:52.

Casper Mortensen has added to that on the quick break. Spotted the

:54:53.:54:56.

goalkeeper was out, just came in, stole it, sprinted clear and it was

:54:57.:55:06.

straightforward. Poor old Wyszomirski, comes on and his first

:55:07.:55:10.

action is to sprint to take the ball out of his goal. The second steel by

:55:11.:55:17.

Denmark, almost too easy. The wingers are coming around fast down.

:55:18.:55:21.

Little hand off into the wing, Daszek, no space, well covered this

:55:22.:55:25.

done by Mortenson who closed the gap very quickly. Past the 20 minute

:55:26.:55:35.

mark now in the game as Krajewski goes down, the 29-year-old, who

:55:36.:55:38.

plays will the team placed third in the Polish league this year. A

:55:39.:55:45.

little hand off and Daszek comes again to draw from the other wing

:55:46.:55:50.

and Bielecki and Niklas Landin remonstrate with his defence, waving

:55:51.:55:54.

his arms at them, but absolutely no doubt this done, and immediately,

:55:55.:55:58.

Bielecki takes advantage, such a huge shot on him, Toft was their way

:55:59.:56:07.

to late although Daszek helped a bit with a push and Talant Dujshebaev is

:56:08.:56:12.

not too impressed either. Certainly a hard man to please, always finding

:56:13.:56:19.

something in the detail. And Denmark get another goal straightaway,

:56:20.:56:23.

Morten Olsen again. The Danish attacks are so straightforward, they

:56:24.:56:27.

don't last very long, they just find someone, usually at nine metres, or

:56:28.:56:32.

then breaking through to six metres and it is in the back of the net. It

:56:33.:56:38.

is the Polish team really that are starting to get the running and the

:56:39.:56:44.

pace in the attacks going. They are going even deeper now, almost like a

:56:45.:56:50.

3-2- one with Mensah Larsen and Hansen and Toft with the same

:56:51.:56:55.

result, in a fast break, lovely dummy and the follow-up, Casper

:56:56.:57:02.

Mortensen. He plays for Hanover in Germany. That was the save that

:57:03.:57:05.

started the holding, Niklas Landin straight down the middle, no one

:57:06.:57:06.

with him. Nothing Wyszomirski could do about

:57:07.:57:21.

that. Poland 10-13 Denmark. Seven minutes and 20 seconds to go in the

:57:22.:57:24.

first half and Denmark with a 3-goal margin. Poland, offensive foul

:57:25.:57:34.

given. Rene Toft Hansen Lord. Now -- Rene Toft Hansen was flawed. It was

:57:35.:57:42.

Mishal Freiburg creating about, trying to flatten the defence,

:57:43.:57:46.

certainly flattered Rene Toft Hansen, not to the liking of the

:57:47.:57:50.

referee but Olsen comes on and Sondergaard at right back, who's got

:57:51.:57:53.

a decent shot on him, Sondergaard but is also a very good running

:57:54.:57:58.

player, takes players on, one on one and he's up against Bielecki with

:57:59.:58:03.

Jachlewski just to his right and Hansen again finding space and he is

:58:04.:58:08.

given far too much room by Kus. Here comes number three now, leeches

:58:09.:58:23.

keep, in his second Olympic Games. Played in the European Championships

:58:24.:58:25.

despite struggling with a bit of a wrist injury. -- Zebroski.

:58:26.:58:32.

The older of the two brothers comes on, replace them Syprzak and

:58:33.:58:40.

immediately, good effect, around the side of Hansen. -- replacing

:58:41.:58:47.

Syprzak. Nice play by the 37-year-old. Straight back to the

:58:48.:58:54.

bench. He is one of three players in the Poland team who have over 200

:58:55.:59:01.

internationals, the goalkeeper has 285 and Bielecki is on 250. A bit of

:59:02.:59:10.

a milestone today. Well, Hansen again, it's a walk in the park for

:59:11.:59:13.

him at the moment, and the defence need to sort out who is moving up

:59:14.:59:23.

wanted him. He was not even looking and Kus was worried about the line

:59:24.:59:28.

player, he hesitated and that cost him. Seven Denmark's 15 goals now

:59:29.:59:34.

have come from nine metres. That is how strong they are out there. Going

:59:35.:59:43.

in on the line. Michal Jurecki is working where Hansen was. He has

:59:44.:59:48.

stolen the ball again. Denmark flying forward and a good save!

:59:49.:59:55.

Wyszomirski making the stop as Lasse Svan, the top scorer for Denmark,

:59:56.:59:59.

was halted in his attack and now Poland will come forward with a bit

:00:00.:00:03.

of space. But the whistle goes, it was Krajewski trying to drive in.

:00:04.:00:08.

Hansen with a slap on his hand as he went through, I don't know if it is

:00:09.:00:14.

going to be a free throw. Trying to work for the moment near Hansen, who

:00:15.:00:18.

is in the strongest defenders. He's a fantastic attacking player and as

:00:19.:00:24.

a result, a defending specialist has come in and will move across and

:00:25.:00:27.

take it. Hansen takes over. says. Straight down the middle, it

:00:28.:01:01.

should have been bread and butter stuff. Niklas Landin Jacobsen is

:01:02.:01:12.

having a better time of it. Mads Mensah Larsen going in there. He is

:01:13.:01:19.

given an earful to 30 six. -- Krajewski. That could have been a

:01:20.:01:39.

goal for a six metres. It did not look as though Krajewski was

:01:40.:01:51.

expecting it. Here it is again. Henrik Toft Hansen throws him on the

:01:52.:01:55.

floor. It is going to be another free throw. Henrik Toft Hansen.

:01:56.:02:05.

Another free throw, another little slip on the way through from

:02:06.:02:23.

Krajewski. Fired into the top. Nothing that Niklas Landin Jacobsen

:02:24.:02:25.

could do about that one and the gap is back to two. Poland would love to

:02:26.:02:28.

get back level at the end of this first half. All comes the danger

:02:29.:02:33.

man, Morten Olsen. Niklas Landin Jacobsen tries to go through. Well

:02:34.:02:56.

place, down the middle. We have got a fumble at six metres and Denmark

:02:57.:03:01.

appear to have come through with a free throw.

:03:02.:03:14.

He is not minded to do too much. He came along from the wing. Niklas

:03:15.:03:23.

Landin Jacobsen out of position. Could not get his position and

:03:24.:03:36.

Daszek scores another goal. Starts the run-up.

:03:37.:04:04.

As we enter the last minute of the first half and Poland have done

:04:05.:04:12.

well. They went off the pace as Denmark pulled away but now they are

:04:13.:04:18.

back breathing down their neck. Krajewski trying to get some impetus

:04:19.:04:24.

going here. Penalty. Defending inside the area says the referee. It

:04:25.:04:41.

is Mads Mensah Larsen. A chance with 25 seconds left for Poland to draw

:04:42.:04:51.

level. Lijewski. One more chance for Denmark to go in front, then it is

:04:52.:04:58.

time for the half-time break. Down and across the shoulder. Seconds

:04:59.:05:03.

away and they are going to get a quick shot away. He falls awkwardly

:05:04.:05:14.

but he will not feel out right now, the adrenaline is running. Slow to

:05:15.:05:19.

come up, Michal Jurecki. He will be disappointed with that. -- a late

:05:20.:05:32.

flurry towards the end of the first half. It finishes here at half-time,

:05:33.:05:36.

Poland 15, Denmark 16th. Told you that handle would be good.

:05:37.:05:54.

Thank you for being with us this evening. It is that time of night

:05:55.:05:59.

when we are getting a lot of texts and tweets from everyone. There are

:06:00.:06:05.

still some people swimming in the sea, jumping in the waves, it is

:06:06.:06:14.

quite late night down here. It is nine o'clock, not too late, still

:06:15.:06:17.

the weather has actually improved, it was really windy earlier, but

:06:18.:06:22.

they are playing a bit of football down there and it is all very

:06:23.:06:26.

lovely. It is a beautiful Copacabana scene. , I have been told of by our

:06:27.:06:37.

Brazilian living in Britain that it is called copper. So many of you

:06:38.:06:48.

were disappointed, it is one of those weird things. There are people

:06:49.:06:53.

in the UK now tuning in just to see a bit of Antony Worrall Thompson

:06:54.:06:57.

doing circuit training but they are not here. Dan, are beautiful floor

:06:58.:07:03.

manager has scoured the beach and there is no sign of him. We thought

:07:04.:07:09.

there might be more circuit training elsewhere but there is nothing. He

:07:10.:07:14.

has gone entirely. There has been some more news about the bin on the

:07:15.:07:20.

beach. Back on the beach just behind me, -- Copacabinmen. Can you see at?

:07:21.:07:32.

There he is, surely that is unwise. That is never going to work. It is

:07:33.:07:47.

not a Copacabikerack! Summoner said in my ear something, but I cannot

:07:48.:07:54.

repeat it. Do not go into the sea with that, chief! I might have to

:07:55.:08:02.

dispatch done to talk him out of it. This is what Copacabana is all

:08:03.:08:06.

about, you will never be short of something to look at at our spot

:08:07.:08:10.

here and we certainly discover that over the last few days. There news I

:08:11.:08:19.

was going to bring you about the Copacabinmen, it was about the

:08:20.:08:27.

Orange bairns. Go on, son! Now he is up and running. I'm not sure that

:08:28.:08:36.

was entirely worth it. That is not a ball, that is one of the boys for

:08:37.:08:42.

the triathlon. Down there of the sand is a lot flatter and fluffy, he

:08:43.:08:49.

can bit of purchase. He can cycle right the way down Copacabana now.

:08:50.:08:55.

There we were laughing at him and clearly, he knows his stuff. He

:08:56.:09:05.

knows how it works down here. Now the binmen, look at the speed, that

:09:06.:09:12.

is the place to be. The kid is safe. There is a lovely shot of our bins

:09:13.:09:19.

there and one of the things we were talking about earlier, was the magic

:09:20.:09:25.

of the orange bin and asking if anyone in the UK has an orange then.

:09:26.:09:32.

Paula was asking if she could get one, bizarrely. Apparently Bedford

:09:33.:09:41.

has orange topped bins and so does Newport and there are bins in

:09:42.:09:49.

Scotland that are orange. Unconfirmed, there is the Rio

:09:50.:09:52.

version, they are full of coconuts. That lad on the bike is getting into

:09:53.:09:59.

every shot. Really himself. Someone put something on social media that I

:10:00.:10:04.

wanted to read to you, but unfortunately it has momentarily

:10:05.:10:07.

gone dead. It will come back to me later. We are not until two, but as

:10:08.:10:14.

long as the handball doesn't go on for ages, we will give you the last

:10:15.:10:23.

bit. It has gone dead. 3G has let me down. In one hour's time, Lutalo

:10:24.:10:31.

Muhammad goes in the gold medal match. He is a bronze medallist from

:10:32.:10:36.

four years ago as I keep trying to present these buttons and he is

:10:37.:10:42.

going for the gold medal in the tae kwon do later on. Look at him,

:10:43.:10:50.

tremendous pyjamas. Look at that. I got told off earlier by various

:10:51.:10:55.

viewers for wearing shoes on the beach, apparently that is not the

:10:56.:11:01.

done thing. Look at that, chasing his mother around. Watch out for the

:11:02.:11:06.

bins, little fellow. That is how you enjoy the beach. What a shot that

:11:07.:11:15.

is, we have had a red Moon, a kid on his bike, the Copacabinmen and a

:11:16.:11:22.

beautiful kid in pyjamas, walking hand-in-hand with his mother. Down

:11:23.:11:30.

the beach. Touching scenes. Now, something slightly more violent now,

:11:31.:11:37.

tae kwon do. Lutalo Muhammad is in the gold medal match and we will

:11:38.:11:40.

show you the other semifinal, see who gets certified him. Hold on. One

:11:41.:11:48.

more bit of action that I need to show you. Copacabubbles! Thank you

:11:49.:12:07.

for pointing that out to me. I will get in trouble again. Excellent

:12:08.:12:18.

bubbles there. Wonderful bubbles. Tae kwon do. The Tunisian is taking

:12:19.:12:34.

on Cisse from the Ivory Coast. The winner of this match will face

:12:35.:12:42.

Lutalo Muhammad in one hour's time. Let us watch this. He will be

:12:43.:12:46.

walking away with gold or silver. It is an electronic protector. But they

:12:47.:12:56.

will need to make sure that's the makes the connection. Pushing

:12:57.:13:01.

forward, Cisse. Locked into the kyong-go. Opening seconds and

:13:02.:13:13.

kyong-go straight up there. Does not want another one otherwise it is a

:13:14.:13:24.

point against. It is very much for Cisse at the moment he has a lot to

:13:25.:13:36.

do to try and subdue them. Tries a back pack of his own. A nice cheer

:13:37.:13:42.

for Cisse. Contrasting fortunes for both. That would be history made,

:13:43.:13:49.

wouldn't it. Big chance for these men. Not a great history at the

:13:50.:13:55.

moment, that is really saw one to the shin. We were talking about

:13:56.:14:02.

pads, they have got protective ankle parts as well. You need those. You

:14:03.:14:16.

need a year shin guards. They have got. You get a point and

:14:17.:14:23.

understandably, still he tries a punch and a back tech. Turning kept

:14:24.:14:27.

underneath. Just sizing each other out. I'm

:14:28.:14:42.

waiting for the mistake. Big punch, getting closer with that. Just how

:14:43.:14:50.

hard do you have to hit? Just on that punch, I think we are going to

:14:51.:14:56.

see a video replay or a corner judge conference. Here they come, onto the

:14:57.:15:02.

mat for a little discussion. We will see if we can have a little lesson

:15:03.:15:06.

in here. punch. Indeed. So that was

:15:07.:15:27.

retrospectively added on. Maybe the judges felt the power was there. The

:15:28.:15:36.

crowd are not too happy with it. I did ask the question. There is

:15:37.:15:42.

another point. A point this time for... Cisse, who then walks into a

:15:43.:15:47.

headshot. Excellent response from Oueslati. We questioned how much

:15:48.:15:52.

power was needed. It was obviously enough. Bringing this back into a

:15:53.:16:00.

close encounter. The headshot. Takes the gap, turns his back. Semifinal

:16:01.:16:06.

really starting to open up. Points going back and forth.

:16:07.:16:18.

You could be confused for thinking it is the Cisse arena, but this is

:16:19.:16:24.

the Carioca Arena 2 is the two points down.

:16:25.:16:30.

Entertaining combat. Fantastic semifinal, they are going for it.

:16:31.:16:42.

Oueslati did well, didn't he. He certainly did, you mentioned the

:16:43.:16:46.

response that was required from him. Landed the big punch. That is the

:16:47.:16:56.

one there. Good power behind that. The corner judges retrospectively

:16:57.:16:59.

adding a shot on here. The head contact.

:17:00.:17:21.

The men's under 80 kilograms semifinal. Oussama Oueslati of

:17:22.:17:27.

Tunisia against the Ivory Coast's Cheick Sallah Cisse. Tries a punch

:17:28.:17:33.

of his own there, Cisse. Gets purchase on it. Trying to use the

:17:34.:17:40.

front leg, a good push there. He's got Oueslati on the back foot. Very

:17:41.:17:50.

close. He does get the kyong-go doesn't see, the power, coming

:17:51.:17:55.

forwards all the time, forcing his opponent outside the area. Now he's

:17:56.:18:01.

gone down. Kyong-go. Was it a fall or a bowl? The referee says it was a

:18:02.:18:05.

poll, pulling himself back into this now. -- a

:18:06.:18:17.

can he sustained the intensity and the pressure? Oueslati little bit

:18:18.:18:24.

caught in the headlights, he caught Cisse in the head with a chop but

:18:25.:18:30.

he's gone quiet since. Check that, because he scores. 5-3 now. It can

:18:31.:18:37.

all change very quickly, all within a split second. Still got a chance.

:18:38.:18:48.

Suzie has got to come forward. Just to explain about that reverse kick.

:18:49.:18:52.

That hook kick around the back, put your leg down, try to fire it around

:18:53.:18:56.

the back. Firing warning under the guard. Suso. The flexibility of that

:18:57.:19:03.

hooking motion inside the clinch as we call it, when they come into the

:19:04.:19:07.

clinch, he likes to step around and flick his laid-back, he makes a lot

:19:08.:19:12.

of flicks. It's going to take something special to keep Cheick

:19:13.:19:15.

Sallah Cisse away, as he comes forward and tries to score again. An

:19:16.:19:19.

engrossing battle. Slowing down slightly.

:19:20.:19:34.

They both looked tired to me. I agree with you on that one. A lot of

:19:35.:19:47.

energy expended here. You can tell, can't you, the power of the kicks.

:19:48.:19:51.

It's just not there. And not getting out of the way fast enough either.

:19:52.:19:56.

Getting back into the game. Cheick Sallah Cisse... Closed that punch as

:19:57.:20:03.

well, he's going to be a massive swing. Is it another kyong-go? No,

:20:04.:20:09.

it's not get away with that one. Oueslati must have stayed in the

:20:10.:20:13.

ring. At the end of this second round what a battle. What a battle.

:20:14.:20:17.

Yeah, he's coming forward, not going to give this up easily. Cheick

:20:18.:20:22.

Sallah Cisse still has a chance here. Contrasting fortunes in the

:20:23.:20:36.

Tunisian corner. Mohammed, the coach, is done enough to chase

:20:37.:20:40.

something here. Oueslati just went a little bit quiet there. He did, he

:20:41.:20:45.

looks that little bit worried to me, little bit rattled, especially

:20:46.:20:49.

coming into this last two minutes. Because we've seen matches won and

:20:50.:20:54.

lost in this last two minutes, so he has to be very, very careful.

:20:55.:20:58.

Because Cheick Sallah Cisse is a man that comes forwards. He's going to

:20:59.:21:02.

really take it to him in these last two minutes. It is last two minutes

:21:03.:21:10.

to get into an Olympic final. They will know that Lutalo Muhammad of

:21:11.:21:20.

Great Britain is waiting for them. A pulsating contest. The men's under

:21:21.:21:29.

80 kilograms semifinal. Oussama Oueslati against Cheick Sallah

:21:30.:21:33.

Cisse. Just checking that all the water was wiped off of the body

:21:34.:21:38.

protector. The second time he's done that.

:21:39.:21:44.

Little bit of gamesmanship, I think, just a tad. Just getting a little

:21:45.:21:51.

rest. To summon up the energy. A minute rest between rounds. One

:21:52.:21:56.

minute and ten for Cisse. He's got himself back into it. Almost takes

:21:57.:22:00.

their head kick, it hits the head guard. The head guard is, of course,

:22:01.:22:04.

the domain of the censors. If it hits the face, they can protest. I

:22:05.:22:10.

think we're going to see exactly that. It did hit the head guard. Not

:22:11.:22:18.

the faced. So you can't protest. -- not the face. Opportunity missed.

:22:19.:22:26.

It's as we were. I guess that's tactical as well, as to when you do

:22:27.:22:34.

actually put a protest in. Correct use of the card so important for the

:22:35.:22:38.

coaches. As we spin around the Carioca Arena here, thoughts

:22:39.:22:45.

spinning around the heads of both fighters, they know an Olympic final

:22:46.:22:50.

is at stake. Trying to step in with the back gate there. Oussama

:22:51.:22:56.

Oueslati. This couldn't be any closer. They are both absolutely

:22:57.:23:02.

wiped out, they really are, so, so tired. You can see that you can feel

:23:03.:23:09.

that. There is a push the attempt. Double from Oueslati, tries to go

:23:10.:23:12.

around. That little hook around the corner. He's been around a few

:23:13.:23:18.

corners in his time. Cheick Sallah Cisse saw that coming. He sees it

:23:19.:23:27.

off. Still a kyong-go hanging against him. This is where the hours

:23:28.:23:31.

of conditioning that you put in come in. The semifinal of an Olympic

:23:32.:23:36.

Games. It can make the difference, can't it? Especially in this last 30

:23:37.:23:41.

seconds. Drying with a big power shot. It is Oueslati, he manages to

:23:42.:23:47.

score. A punch again from the man from Tunisia. We said about

:23:48.:23:52.

conditioning, the psychology important, the physiology, too, the

:23:53.:23:57.

effort put in here. We enter the last ten seconds. An Olympic final

:23:58.:24:01.

at stake. It's the power shot from Cheick Sallah Cisse. Jack's the

:24:02.:24:03.

clock. Can he hang on here? Cheick Sallah Cisse has got one foot

:24:04.:24:17.

in the final. Does he step away too soon? No, he's been given it. The

:24:18.:24:25.

kyong-go doesn't come through because Cheick Sallah Cisse is into

:24:26.:24:28.

the Olympic final. Cheick Sallah Cisse of the Ivory

:24:29.:24:41.

Coast will take on Lutalo Muhammad in... What are we now? 50 minutes

:24:42.:24:47.

time, quarter past to your time in the UK, you'll be able to see that

:24:48.:24:51.

live on BBC One. We'll take you back to the handball. We've missed a

:24:52.:24:54.

couple of minutes of the second half. This is live. We were watching

:24:55.:24:58.

that kid on the bike. This is Poland against Denmark, the semifinal. It

:24:59.:25:04.

was 16-16 at half-time, if only missed a of goals. Paul Bray and

:25:05.:25:07.

Jack Nicholson talked us the conclusion.

:25:08.:25:23.

Hanson back on again. The pass wasn't particularly good. Olsen

:25:24.:25:34.

coming around to benefit too late. That's an attacking cow, what a

:25:35.:25:38.

shame, could have bypassed him completely and gone to the wing.

:25:39.:25:44.

Straight into the defender. Olsen getting frustrated. Any movement was

:25:45.:25:54.

going to bring the attacking foul. Poland a gold of the good. 18-17

:25:55.:26:01.

here. -- a gold of the good. As they try to defeat Ben Martin, who seems

:26:02.:26:05.

to have the better of the first half. Poland looking to take a two

:26:06.:26:09.

goal advantage. -- try to defeat Denmark. They have brought on all of

:26:10.:26:14.

their available players. No one in goal at the moment. Good cover on

:26:15.:26:18.

the line by Denmark on this occasion, nearly took the ball from

:26:19.:26:23.

his hand, Lijewski. Wrong-footed, touched a defender. Landing,

:26:24.:26:33.

couldn't correct himself. Unlucky for Lijewski, no own golden

:26:34.:26:38.

handball. Now Denmark have to make this work for them because in

:26:39.:26:44.

defence they do have the overlap. Well, why bother moving the ball

:26:45.:26:48.

around when you can just give it to Mikkel Hansen? Two going on the

:26:49.:26:55.

line, Olsen is there trying to help, no one coming up to him. After

:26:56.:27:03.

missing the opening exchanges of the second half, Mikkel Hansen comes on

:27:04.:27:08.

and find the back of the net for his first goal of the second 30 minutes.

:27:09.:27:14.

Now, here come Poland once more. Inside two Krajewski. It's a fumble

:27:15.:27:25.

there, given away, easy as you like. Surely Denmark will draw level...

:27:26.:27:30.

What a save that is! It was Casper Mortensen, who looked destined to

:27:31.:27:37.

draw the Danes level. Quick breakaway into Mortensen. But the

:27:38.:27:45.

leg up, went into the closing gap. Much too quick, the goalkeeper

:27:46.:27:48.

committed himself quite early, but he already made the decision and

:27:49.:27:54.

blasted a shot, tenth save, 50% save rate for Wyszomirski. A lesson, hang

:27:55.:27:59.

in the air a little longer. He had the hide. Poland come back again. A

:28:00.:28:05.

let off for them. Lijewski tries to go all the way through and wins the

:28:06.:28:09.

penalty. The gap was there but he has failed in the act of shooting by

:28:10.:28:16.

Christians. Who is heading off to Magdeburg after the games. -- by

:28:17.:28:18.

Mads Christiansen. Both sides being wasteful with their

:28:19.:28:35.

shooting. Jurkiewicz shooting very quickly committees made the

:28:36.:28:43.

goalkeeper committed himself early. It remained Poland 19-18 Denmark

:28:44.:28:47.

after two very good opportunities. For either side. Olsen lasered into

:28:48.:28:55.

Mads Christiansen. Almost intercepted as Poland push-up to

:28:56.:28:58.

make those deals. All the way around. A two minute suspension. A

:28:59.:29:10.

very frustrated Jachlewski. Causing problems with one of those darting

:29:11.:29:15.

runs. Pushed in midair. Always frowned on. He will get an enforced

:29:16.:29:19.

break. The 31-year-old who plays for the champions in his country. Five

:29:20.:29:29.

defenders spaced on the wings, playing very deep. Why did he not go

:29:30.:29:40.

down through the middle? UNIX another fantastic save and the

:29:41.:29:44.

coach, Gudmundur Gudmundsson, heading has hands, what do we have

:29:45.:29:50.

to do to concentrate in attack? It's good goalkeeping error is not

:29:51.:29:54.

exceptional goalkeeping. They are rushing their shots. Wyszomirski,

:29:55.:30:04.

all credit to him, stayed focus. -- focused. With nine minutes gone,

:30:05.:30:10.

Poland are down to six players, no goalkeeper in there at the moment.

:30:11.:30:19.

Mortensen frustrated with the reaction of Lijewski. One minute

:30:20.:30:23.

left on the suspension for Poland, in no huge rush to have a goal at

:30:24.:30:28.

goal. They have to swap back in the goalkeeper. Trying to feed that in.

:30:29.:30:35.

It was never going to get their from Jurkiewicz. Passed around the back

:30:36.:30:38.

of two defenders but they are not even standing in a line. It is a

:30:39.:30:42.

giveaway. Just when they can't afford to do it. They still have a

:30:43.:30:46.

long attack here, Denmark, against a short-handed Polish team having to

:30:47.:30:52.

some readjustments. Syprzak goes wide, Lijewski in the wrong place.

:30:53.:30:56.

Olsen moves left, going in on the line for Hansen. He does enough to

:30:57.:31:02.

put the block on. Hansen goes in and no one picks him up again. Ten

:31:03.:31:07.

minutes gone in the second half, Poland 19-19 Denmark. Little bit of

:31:08.:31:09.

a scrappy second half. If you give Hansen that kind of

:31:10.:31:24.

space, you will get punished. Only five defenders and a goalkeeper,

:31:25.:31:29.

what can you do? With the danger for Hansen, they were both at six

:31:30.:31:36.

metres, it just means a lot of movement at the back and that is a

:31:37.:31:44.

push on the way in. Lijewski. Moves back to take the free throw. He lost

:31:45.:31:50.

his left eye in a freak accident in 2010. It has not deterred him little

:31:51.:32:07.

bit. Morten Olsen is back on again. Henrik Toft Hansen plays with his

:32:08.:32:09.

brother in Germany. Good block. On this occasion,

:32:10.:32:26.

working out well, Syprzak has the right to build for it. They are

:32:27.:32:36.

coming again. The referee says nothing. He picks up technically his

:32:37.:32:47.

12th save. Poland looking once more to try and find the lead again.

:32:48.:32:55.

Seven goals in the 12 minutes we have had so far in the second half,

:32:56.:33:03.

not hugely high-scoring. There is the long shot, rattles the post.

:33:04.:33:07.

Coming a long way over, right into the line of Wisniewski. Christiansen

:33:08.:33:22.

at right back is also now down the middle. He has to do that drive down

:33:23.:33:29.

the line to create space for Hansen. Kus pushes up and goes in with

:33:30.:33:39.

Morten Olsen. It was scored by Christiansen. Denmark are back in

:33:40.:33:47.

front. Nothing that Wyszomirski could do. Another goal for

:33:48.:33:54.

Christiansen. 70% conversion rate for Poland, 54% for Denmark and you

:33:55.:33:58.

could argue they should be a little bit further clear in this match with

:33:59.:34:03.

the amount of shots they have had. 37 compared to 27 for Poland. Ten

:34:04.:34:09.

more shots, you should have had six or seven more goals. That will be a

:34:10.:34:15.

throw in for the corner. Their attacks have been stopped start,

:34:16.:34:19.

they do not last long, they do not involve big movements for the team.

:34:20.:34:26.

The block there from Henrik Toft Hansen. The Polish team have taken

:34:27.:34:31.

longer on the build-up. Running into the static defender and wanting the

:34:32.:34:37.

ball back. Eventually, they slow things down and the referee is

:34:38.:34:46.

telling him to hurry up. Rather dirty look there from Mortensen. 11

:34:47.:34:52.

turnovers, Poland, and they are coming thick and fast, a lot of the

:34:53.:34:57.

stakes by the Polish team who have lost their concentration and are in

:34:58.:35:02.

danger of slipping. From the Denmark team, not the most attractive

:35:03.:35:07.

handball at the moment. If you add those 11 turnovers, you are looking

:35:08.:35:15.

at an awful lot of giving away possession. Olsen looks around as if

:35:16.:35:23.

to say, but I scored! No luck on that one. Steep defence again. The

:35:24.:35:30.

line player waits to come into, he does not stand there, he waits on

:35:31.:35:35.

the side and runs in at just the right moments. Poland's woes

:35:36.:35:42.

continue. A two minute suspension has been given. He swings onto the

:35:43.:35:53.

floor. He points to the terms and Lijewski gets her right ear full. I

:35:54.:35:58.

think he is finished now. No he is not. He is following him up and down

:35:59.:36:05.

the bench, relentlessly. Hansen will have a bit of space. His run was

:36:06.:36:12.

very long on the side. He nods -- needed to cut in a bit more sharply

:36:13.:36:18.

but it is not his style. He has got these long straight runs going into

:36:19.:36:23.

the wing. Tries to put it back in the middle, the referee gives him

:36:24.:36:30.

some respite. You can have the free throw, you were purged. Olsen is

:36:31.:36:38.

causing the problems. Svan is so reliable with his shooting. Only one

:36:39.:36:49.

goal so far from four attempts from Lasse Svan and that is another

:36:50.:36:53.

couple of shots from Denmark that do not find the back of the net. 51%

:36:54.:37:05.

conversion rate from shots on goal. And it is nice play. The defenders

:37:06.:37:19.

do push up onto him, Syprzak. He is looking absolutely the other way

:37:20.:37:31.

there, amazing stuff. Different style to the Toft brothers. He is

:37:32.:37:47.

club team-mates with Syprzak. Both competing for that space in

:37:48.:37:53.

Barcelona. They have got quite a job on their hands because the other

:37:54.:37:57.

player there is a big star. We are past the halfway point, it is

:37:58.:38:11.

20 all. Denmark have had more chances than Poland. A dive in front

:38:12.:38:17.

Toft does not get him anywhere. All in trying to find a little bit of

:38:18.:38:22.

space and there goes the hand in the air and it went up. It went up as

:38:23.:38:30.

Lijewski had the ball. It is six passes for Poland before they need

:38:31.:38:34.

to start to do something with it -- Jurkiewicz. Luckily for Toft, he had

:38:35.:38:44.

a defender behind to save the penalty. We had a discussion, it is

:38:45.:38:54.

the yellow card for the coach, Gudmundsson. Too strong for the

:38:55.:39:00.

keeper to keep out. The shot from Olympics Aquatics Stadium goes

:39:01.:39:03.

straight through. He can shoot it out over 100 kilometres per hour. --

:39:04.:39:20.

the shot from Bielecki. Olsen tries to drive it aired. It is 21 all with

:39:21.:39:29.

12 and a half minutes left in this Olympic semifinal. Nothing that

:39:30.:39:38.

third -- Wyszomirski can do about that. Hansen goes off. Not a huge

:39:39.:39:51.

issue for the Danes. Poland again try a 5- to attack, the goalkeeper

:39:52.:39:55.

is out and they have fumbled the ball and there is no keeper. Larsen

:39:56.:40:02.

has missed a chance. We have seen a few of these and the team is getting

:40:03.:40:05.

used to this new rule. Back in, Noddesbo and he will have a bit of

:40:06.:40:22.

room with that deep defence. Svan going back again. Helped back to his

:40:23.:40:30.

feet and a bit of not required again. Gives him the smallest of

:40:31.:40:42.

pushes but it is enough. Olsen who plays for Hanover in Germany, he is

:40:43.:40:49.

a bit of a journeyman. He is now back in Hanover. Svan stretches the

:40:50.:40:57.

gap, Miss connected but he was being held on the way end. Olsen is so

:40:58.:41:04.

industrious. You have to watch him. Svan is free and again. Thwarted.

:41:05.:41:14.

Not one of his better days. His 75% success rate in the competition so

:41:15.:41:19.

far taking a bit of a dent here, I am afraid for him. One from four

:41:20.:41:27.

only in this match. Great save by Wyszomirski, came out quick, get up

:41:28.:41:31.

close, do not get him much side to the goal. Hansen trying to push him

:41:32.:41:44.

back. They push up, that is a mistake. Brilliant save, he read it,

:41:45.:41:58.

he saw the risk. Through himself a long way out. A bit of a stop start,

:41:59.:42:11.

no idea who was going to win. It is just down to small little actions,

:42:12.:42:18.

no big sweeping manoeuvres. The success rate for Poland, 70%, a

:42:19.:42:24.

throw in from the corner, seems to be a delayed reaction from the

:42:25.:42:30.

referees. Meanwhile, we will see it again. They are below par, they are

:42:31.:42:41.

on 67%. Poland were lower coming into this game, but today slightly

:42:42.:42:49.

playing above. Syprzak is working hard creating space. Ten minutes to

:42:50.:42:56.

play and he may be wondering, do I need a team time out? They have a

:42:57.:43:01.

couple left each. Three for each team in a match. You cannot use two

:43:02.:43:10.

in the last few minutes. Probably both coaches are wondering if they

:43:11.:43:16.

need to adjust. That is another attacking foul, Daszek waiting for

:43:17.:43:26.

the collision. We have another problem and looks like it might be

:43:27.:43:32.

on Polish side. Both benches have now been yellow carded. Still

:43:33.:43:40.

remonstrating, he was unhappy, thought there should have been a two

:43:41.:43:54.

minute suspension. And that is a 13th turnover for Poland as they

:43:55.:43:59.

accumulate. It is for the assistant coach for Poland who was given that

:44:00.:44:02.

yellow card and then Denmark try and come through. It will be a corner.

:44:03.:44:12.

It was Jurkiewicz who managed to make the block. It is 6-5 in terms

:44:13.:44:18.

of the second half here, only 11 goals in the first 11 minutes of the

:44:19.:44:23.

second half. Now we have a team time-out called by Denmark with just

:44:24.:44:26.

under nine minutes left on the clock.

:44:27.:45:18.

So, that was fairly direct, I think, from Talant Dujshebaev using his

:45:19.:45:25.

best Polish to convey his frustration to his players. For

:45:26.:45:32.

Denmark, their conversion rate of 49%, even if it was 65%, which is

:45:33.:45:37.

still less than Poland, less than their average... With the amount of

:45:38.:45:43.

shots they've had they would have 28 goals and a seven goal margin, it

:45:44.:45:47.

illustrates the ineffectiveness of what they've managed to do today in

:45:48.:45:51.

front of goal. There is another one, saved by Wyszomirski. " a few cases

:45:52.:46:03.

it has been a case of poor shooting. Take nothing away from Wyszomirski

:46:04.:46:09.

who has made some fantastic saves. Daszek, surely it touched his feet.

:46:10.:46:14.

Wyszomirski tries to get the crowd going, that'll work. Again, stood at

:46:15.:46:21.

his near post, he'd be disappointed if that beat him. So, they try again

:46:22.:46:30.

with this 5- to attack. We've seen the Swedes do it. We've seen the

:46:31.:46:36.

Germans do it occasionally. Still a little bit of uncharted territory

:46:37.:46:42.

with the new regulation. It paid dividends, such a defence into the

:46:43.:46:50.

middle and Wisniewski scores from the wing. The Danes respond

:46:51.:46:57.

immediately. Courtesy of Mads Christiansen. The space just opens

:46:58.:47:04.

up for him, a little nudge from Rene Toft Hansen just here to make sure

:47:05.:47:11.

that Kus wasn't in the position he wanted to be in. It's 22-22 with

:47:12.:47:17.

seven minutes to go. Back to the 5- to attack. Syprzak on the line. It's

:47:18.:47:38.

more tiring for the polls. There are a couple of players out, which puts

:47:39.:47:43.

players on correction could put pressure on the other back players.

:47:44.:47:48.

That's the danger of playing 5-2 and putting all of your outfield players

:47:49.:47:53.

upfield, you can see the frustration from Wyszomirski as he tries to run

:47:54.:48:02.

back on there in the yellow. A goal for London, his first of the

:48:03.:48:12.

tournament, second for his country. -- for Landin. If you live the goal

:48:13.:48:16.

wide open sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you have

:48:17.:48:20.

to work on the basis you will score more from it than you will concede.

:48:21.:48:24.

They've brought it back to the more traditional 5-1, given up on it.

:48:25.:48:29.

Good depth from the defence from the Danes, who almost did 3-3 defence,

:48:30.:48:33.

three players up on a nine metre line, three at the back. It means

:48:34.:48:38.

the central defence at the back is very busy, especially with a line

:48:39.:48:42.

player like Syprzak, all two metres and eight of him, trying to Ukip an

:48:43.:48:50.

eye on him. Team time-out. -- trying to keep an eye on him.

:48:51.:49:19.

Well, that told him! Poor old Jurkiewicz getting an earful.

:49:20.:49:31.

That'll continue. Because that is his club coach. Very angry with him,

:49:32.:49:35.

feeling defensively more work is required. Here we go, getting into

:49:36.:49:39.

money time. Away with a little under five

:49:40.:49:57.

minutes to go in the Future Arena, the Olympic semifinal, Poland or

:49:58.:50:02.

Denmark will be progressing. There is a long shot into the back the

:50:03.:50:11.

net, from Bielecki again. Took two defenders out. Bielecki is running

:50:12.:50:24.

up. He's taken out both Mensah Larsen and Toft. That goal from

:50:25.:50:36.

Poland brings them level. Out again to Mikkel Hansen... The whistle

:50:37.:50:40.

goes, looked as if he was about to lose possession, but the foul scored

:50:41.:50:47.

against Daszek. Christiansen. Mensah Larsen. Just waiting. Christiansen,

:50:48.:50:53.

no real player presence on the line at the moment. In goes Toft. Now,

:50:54.:51:00.

Mensah Larsen is in for Hansen. Deflected wide. Corner. The

:51:01.:51:07.

referee's armies upward. The passive play call is on. At least one pass.

:51:08.:51:14.

Six are allowed. A rather rushed shot by Christiansen. Wyszomirski

:51:15.:51:20.

covered comfortably from that kind of angle. Hoping there was enough

:51:21.:51:25.

block on the line but there certainly wasn't. And Wyszomirski

:51:26.:51:30.

has played superbly, 17 saves, 53% success rate. Conceding that goal

:51:31.:51:38.

earlier. They are going to try and revert back with a fight attack.

:51:39.:51:48.

Bielecki looking for the gap. They've taken the extra play-off.

:51:49.:51:55.

Less than four minutes remaining, this game is tied. Semifinal at Rio

:51:56.:52:05.

2016's handball competition. Syprzak has put Poland back in front again.

:52:06.:52:13.

Fifth goal for the tall line player. Off go Mensah Larsen and

:52:14.:52:17.

Christiansen. As Gudmundsson looks to change things at the back. An

:52:18.:52:26.

come Olsen and Sondergaard. They need energy to break down this very

:52:27.:52:35.

deep defence. Krajewski the play at the front. He follows Hansen

:52:36.:52:38.

everywhere. Looking for the wing but there is no space. The referee's

:52:39.:52:43.

armies going to go up soon. Taking a long time. Olsen says his arm was

:52:44.:52:48.

hit. They needn't have worried, the whistle has gone for the free throw.

:52:49.:52:55.

The last team time-out called for Denmark. Anxious moments here with

:52:56.:52:59.

three minutes to go. The Polish are leading by one.

:53:00.:53:51.

A little rallying cry at the end, slightly more composed Dujshebaev.

:53:52.:54:00.

This has been a pretty handball match by any stretch of the

:54:01.:54:03.

imagination, but certainly plenty of drama and excitement to come here

:54:04.:54:08.

with the scores so close. Here we go, inside the last three minutes.

:54:09.:54:13.

Both of these sides looking for their first Olympic final. And on

:54:14.:54:19.

comes Sondergaard. Fires it into the back of the net. Both looking for

:54:20.:54:26.

their best handball result since the 1980s. And the 1970s for Poland.

:54:27.:54:35.

Poland felt they should have made it through in London, to have won a

:54:36.:54:40.

medal, but ended up losing out in the knockout stages. Sorry, Beijing,

:54:41.:54:51.

I should say. Here we go. Jurkiewicz is there, two line players in again.

:54:52.:54:58.

Going to make the swap back again. No Bielecki for the moment. Bearing

:54:59.:55:05.

in for the last push. The point is to bring someone like him aback when

:55:06.:55:10.

you have 5-2 defence. Martyn has a decent shot. Bielecki's shot.

:55:11.:55:21.

Passive play being called. Juggled the ball, almost trying to grab it.

:55:22.:55:25.

In the end it's taken from him. The clock has been stopped. They need to

:55:26.:55:30.

swap the ball, it's picked up debris. 96 seconds, then, left on

:55:31.:55:37.

the block, Poland 24-24 Denmark. You have no idea which way this one is

:55:38.:55:42.

going to go, I would have given the edge to the Danes after 25 minutes

:55:43.:55:48.

of the match, but since then it's been absolutely neck and neck. Very

:55:49.:55:52.

low scoring second-half as well by just 17 goals in it, to put in

:55:53.:55:58.

perspective, 31 in the first half. Denmark themselves resort to 5-2, no

:55:59.:56:02.

goalkeeper. Both Toft Brothers are in there. And looking to make sure

:56:03.:56:09.

they get a goal here. A goal at the other end would really put them

:56:10.:56:14.

under pressure. Sondergaard. The Toft brothers trying to create space

:56:15.:56:18.

at the back to go through, very untidy by Denmark, not throwing the

:56:19.:56:22.

ball, it's very much Hansen backwards and forwards trying to go

:56:23.:56:25.

through the same space. It's fine if you are going to move it quickly to

:56:26.:56:31.

the wing. Yes! It's a penalty. Defending inside the area. The clock

:56:32.:56:37.

has been stopped with 49... 39 seconds remaining. Olsen, somehow,

:56:38.:56:52.

managed to pass it around the back of Henrik Toft They push by Kus.

:56:53.:57:00.

This is a chance for Denmark to take a one goal advantage. As we see

:57:01.:57:06.

many, many times, even if they score here, Poland will come forward very

:57:07.:57:10.

quickly. Up the steps Mikkel Hansen. Scores! Now it's up to Poland to try

:57:11.:57:16.

and pull themselves level in the final 30 seconds of the match. If

:57:17.:57:20.

they don't score with this attack, they are not going to be going

:57:21.:57:25.

through to the Olympic final. It's going to be extra time otherwise, if

:57:26.:57:29.

they can score the equaliser, they have called team time-out. A chance

:57:30.:57:34.

for one last play year for Poland to salvage extra time in this game or

:57:35.:57:38.

they will be going out of the final at Rio 2016.

:57:39.:58:13.

Nerves of steel required is now for Poland. Someone has to take the

:58:14.:58:21.

responsibility of taking the shot I am level this game, as Hansen has

:58:22.:58:26.

done so often for Denmark. -- taking the shop to try and level. 24

:58:27.:58:30.

seconds left on the block in the Olympic semifinal. -- on the clock.

:58:31.:58:39.

The referee's whistle blows, Poland have to score here, otherwise they

:58:40.:58:42.

won't be going through to the final and it'll be a bronze medal match

:58:43.:58:47.

for them. There is the shot, it's saved! Free-throw given. They want

:58:48.:58:50.

the clock stopped as quickly as possible. 13 seconds left. They've

:58:51.:58:56.

still got one more chance. Two minute suspension by Henrik to. This

:58:57.:59:01.

is what it was for. Grabbing the shirt of Jurkiewicz. He was quite a

:59:02.:59:08.

way out from goal. He was, but clearly going for the gap, a block

:59:09.:59:12.

on the line he would have gone into. He tried to shoot but from further

:59:13.:59:17.

out than he wanted. A panel play, the winners have to stay deep,

:59:18.:59:24.

spread it wide. -- power-play. Don't get bogged down into the wing. He

:59:25.:59:32.

scored, unbelievable! Daszek! One of the smallest players on the court,

:59:33.:59:40.

from a terrible angle, he has beaten Landin. It went pear shaped there.

:59:41.:59:48.

It was far too wide for him, and somehow, finds the top corner.

:59:49.:59:55.

Unbelievable! Denmark thought they done enough to force the ball wide

:59:56.:00:00.

on the pass will stop he turns back, he could do nothing else. Three

:00:01.:00:04.

seconds left. He's kept them in the game.

:00:05.:00:08.

I can't believe this has happened, a second night on the trot, we've come

:00:09.:00:15.

to the end of our evening on BBC Four. Very sorry about that. I'd

:00:16.:00:19.

like to stay up and continue to watch this match between Poland and

:00:20.:00:22.

Denmark, which is level once again. It continues on the BBC sport

:00:23.:00:28.

website and BBC sport app. Ten minutes of added time, five minutes

:00:29.:00:32.

each way. Hopefully it'll match the drama of the Norway and Russia game

:00:33.:00:36.

we showed you yesterday. And finish off today. Here is a promise. On BBC

:00:37.:00:41.

for tomorrow we'll show you the last ten minutes of this match to see who

:00:42.:00:45.

makes it through to potentially play for the gold medal. That's it for

:00:46.:00:52.

another night, it's on the website right now, and on the BBC sports

:00:53.:00:56.

app. That is it for us for another night. We have to say hello to

:00:57.:01:01.

Lauren and Ross behind me, they are from Upminster, enjoying themselves

:01:02.:01:05.

on Copacabana. To let you know, exactly what is happening on BBC One

:01:06.:01:11.

after we finished, 2:15am, Lutalo Muhammad fights in the tae kwon do,

:01:12.:01:17.

Usain Bolt is on at 2:30am on BBC One, only half an hour to wait for

:01:18.:01:22.

Usain Bolt. Trying to do the triple triple. His won the 100 metres, won

:01:23.:01:27.

200 metres, can he do the relay? We'll be back on the beach tomorrow.

:01:28.:01:31.

It's sad to say this, our last ever show on BBC Four from the beach.

:01:32.:01:36.

Coverage on Sunday but it's in the Olympic Park. This is the last one

:01:37.:01:40.

tomorrow we will be on the beach. It's been fun, can't promise you a

:01:41.:01:44.

red Moon but I can promise we'll be here, hopefully joined by some of

:01:45.:01:49.

Team GB's hockey stars. That is the image of the night and leave you

:01:50.:01:53.

with. Great Britain's hockey team. It was tight, it went to penalties,

:01:54.:01:58.

but in the end the team from Great Britain are the Olympic champions.

:01:59.:02:01.

From all of us on BBC Four, good night.

:02:02.:02:15.

Hello there. 1970s Michael Fish here.

:02:16.:02:18.

Can you believe I ever looked this hot? Speaking of heat,

:02:19.:02:20.

the hottest sitcom season on record is headed our way.

:02:21.:02:23.

Expect fresh twists as gales of laughter blow in from BBC One,

:02:24.:02:27.

with all-new episodes of Are You Being Served?,

:02:28.:02:29.

Meanwhile, in the BBC Two region, it will become cooler,

:02:30.:02:35.

with brand-new comedies Motherland and Home From Home.

:02:36.:02:39.

Look forward to basking in the genius of Steptoe Son

:02:40.:02:42.

One thing I can guarantee is there is absolutely, positively

:02:43.:02:48.

Sitcom Season, coming soon to the BBC.

:02:49.:02:52.

Who says weathermen can't do comedy? I totally nailed that.
