Day 14 BBC Four: 22.00-02.00 Olympics

developing into a very attritional struggle.

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

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

comfortable save. She was having a shot through all

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

unsighted. Maier getting forward once again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

on the overlap. Kemme is a very durable defender.

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

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

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

Germany managed to scramble the ball clear.

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

Sembrant winning the ball in the area gain.

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

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

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

workrate? Krahn will get there before

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

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

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

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

Behringer has won the corner. Seger with the challenge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

rumbling forward now. The gain from Asllani, fisted away

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

at the moment. Schelin ahead of her. Bartusiak cuts

it out well. They eventually find Dabritz, who

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sweden. Schelin tried to improvise, but the

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

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

medal. Can Lotta Schelin truck strike gold here tonight?

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

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

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

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

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

2004. Every time these two nations seem to

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

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

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

football. It's normally a closely tied game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

unable to control. The Swedish fans will be satisfied

so far. I think although they've sat back

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

by Rubensson. Now Bartusiak, and there goes the

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

the better chances, but Sweden continue to frustrate the bigger

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

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

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

Oldroyd. COMMENTATOR: We have seen the riding

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

consisting of 800 metres loops, interspersed by four shooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Canada and Chloe Esposito of Australia but Elodie Clouvel is out

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

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

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

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

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

onto the course now. Samantha Murray has had a

disappointing day. She had a difficult time yesterday on the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nowacka leading at the moment, Elodie Clouvel second and Melanie

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

European Championships last year which took place at Bath University,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

lab at Elodie Clouvel has now overtaken Octavian Wacker in the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

between Elodie Clouvel, Oktawia Nowacka. They are just running

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

finishing in sixth place. Kate French crosses the finishing line

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Murray list but congratulations to Chloe Esposito of Australia. What

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Germany nil. Thank you for talking is through

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

one? COMMENTATOR:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

stage. Marozsan, who scored the winning

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

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

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

night when they finally complete the set?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

there. You can see straightaway the physio

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

quick shot there of Caroline Seger talking to Sam Brownson Pearson

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

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

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

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

very special weekend for German football. There is the possibility

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

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

the Maracana, when it really matters.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

of Jakobsson. She has just joined Lyon in France,

a big transfer from Frankfurt, moving from one former Champions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

around her neck. Krahn just swatting Jakobsson aside.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

on penalties. Blackstenius started the match in this stadium against

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

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

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

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

to bring on with similar qualities is quite a luxury.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wonder, do they have that psychological advantage over the

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

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

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

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

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

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

very good on their day. Here's Mittag.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dangerous position. The referee making sure the wall

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

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

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

tournament. It is Marais and again and Hedvig

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

overlapping whether it is an overlapping run or an under lapping

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

when there forwards and midfielders breaking forward, they looked

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sweden. We were thinking we may be lucky to

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

minutes. Germany are still on course for the

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

Maier. We spoke before about the slight

vulnerability about this current German generation because ten years

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Schough. Providing the cross will be Sweden goal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

but Kemme stands firm. Mittag. Leupolz.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the bronze medal earlier. Germany may have to undergo something

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

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

clock. They fancy another half an hour. Eriksson.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

moments. Krahn. Samuelsson's header only finds

Marozsan. The sting was taken out of that by

Sembrant. Quickly forward by Lindahl.

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

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

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

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

her goalkeeper. Blackstenius was wrestling there

with Bartusiak but Sweden still have the ball.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

kick first. Huth was brought into this squad due

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hammarlund making the run down the centre. Blackstenius is also

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

minutes. No free kick given there. Eriksson

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

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

technical area, willing her team through.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

normal time. Fischer, on the stretch. Popp.

Lindahl. Schelin, that's a good challenged by

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

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

Germany now hanging on as the Maracana holds its breath.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Germany, two minutes away from the gold medal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

are your headlines. The first Olympic gold in the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

been involved in the preliminary qualification for the ten metre

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

you his best dive which came in the fourth round.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

after coming top in his qualification in the preliminaries

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Congratulations. Enjoy. Always nice to get some sweet from

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

torso bra. -- Vitor Sobral. COMMENTATOR:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

will block encouraging for Australia. Baynes is really sticking

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

defender on and watch this. He read it brilliantly, Raduljica. The move

coming, he wasn't able to finish it off but got the foul anyway. He's

playing well, Raduljica. He's not a player that's going to score 50

points, but he's going to do everything and work hard, he showed

that against Croatia. He's a really tough customer. Sasha had to call it

in case the referee missed it. The other thing, they basically spell

him very quickly. It's a power play. Three minutes to play, the score is

double. He's taken a few fouls as well.

Mills gets fouled by your kitsch. Still a 14 point lead for Serbia.

Australia just haven't been able to put in a really strong set of

minutes. There's been spits and starts, it looks OK for a bit, but

Serbia keep consistently finding the basket. Baynes comes out. He has

worked so hard. A couple of important offensive rebounds as

well. Andersen is now the centre and they have three forwards and Agard.

No, two guards, Martin and Mills. Another foul.

Dellavedova comes back in. Andersen knocks that one but only as far as

Bogdanovich. The again, the 3-point shooting, 18%. They've only hit two

of 11, Australia. That needs to improve dramatically if they are to

get back into this contest. Markovic, over to Bogdanovich. They

play patty cake with it and it comes back out to Markovic. There's the

open man, 30-24. Sorry, 30-14, excuse me. The Australians got

excited for a second but no, they are down by 16 points here and they

haven't had this in the Olympic Games, not even against the United

States where they are this far behind, and how they recover from

this I'm not sure. This is going to be the alley OOP by Bogdanovich but

if you watched the last bit of play as soon as they gave up the dribble

they were all over it. His defender comes right up on top, trying to

deny La Paz. The player on the sidelines who could pass to is

currently covered. And an thought about three. Nothing open in the

corner. Look how the defence is moving and the path is wild, thrown

away by Golding. It's still on one, 32-14. They're getting their baskets

but like you said, this performance is built on good defence. It being

magnificent. They've completely stopped Australia. Look at those

points off turnovers as well. Dellavedova can't get its drop, the

rebound is tipped to Kalinic. There's a foul behind the play.

Andersen was holding back. The in the United States coach says you're

the best passing team in the Olympic Games and that you cannot pass the

ball, the opposing defences doing something absolutely brilliantly.

That's what Serbia have done in this. They are taking advantage of

the other end as well. Australia having to press on the offensive and

it means people are getting caught down there and Serbia is breaking

the other way. Bogdanovich has been playing, but running the ball very

well. The first of two foul shots. This is

the second, Andersen with the rebound, Dellavedova to bring it up

for Australia. Not long for a free throw comment extraordinary for a

team that conceded 40 plus in one game. The ball by Miller has just

hit the bottom of the net and Serbia now walking up slowly. In the final

minute of the first half. The password behind Kalinic. -- the path

went behind Kalinic. He fell down twisting himself trying to get it.

57 seconds left. 19 points is not an insurmountable deficit but it's the

performers that gives you great concern. How do Australia get back

in this game? It's not like they're missing every shot, they are not

getting good looks at the basket. Lisch now is the point guard. He's

an outside shooter, Goulding, but he can't hit, and Serbia again clear

the boards with 45 seconds left. Stefan Jovic to Nikola Jokic.

Bogdanovich takes it back outside, there's Nikola Jokic with the open

jumper, takes it, put it in and Goulding is down. I think

Bogdanovich... He's injured. I think Bogdanovich may have knocked him

over quickly. He might have twisted something by the way he was

hobbling. Mills holding for one last shot. Gets two pics, launches the

tree and it goes in and out. That's been the Australian's story for

Australia. The shots are difficult, that wasn't an easy 3-point

attempts. This is a real concern for Australia. Serbia have played this

half brilliantly and they are forcing Australia into difficult

attempts and there's a lot to think about for Australia at half-time.

There's no letup here from Serbia, because they know they've watched

comeback, they watched Croatia comeback against them. That didn't

miss by much but it did miss. But what a half for Serbia, 35-14 over

Australia. It looks like as you watch it like Serbia know exactly

what Australia is going to do at any given time, and they're in a

position to stop it. STUDIO:

You can't really believe an Australian team can be that bad in

the next two periods, can you? They've had a pretty woeful Olympic

Games. We had some Australians on Copacabana Beach a Gestede aren't

safe to say the normal bravado you get from Australians at an Olympic

Games, talking about how many medals they've won is sadly missing because

it hasn't been a great Games for Australia. We shall return for the

third period of that. The winner of that takes on team USA in the final,

which is this weekend. It's actually Sunday afternoon. Thank you for all

your, we are getting so many tonight, I'm glad so many of you

have been enjoying the Moon news. Gemma Wildig, what a lovely surname

that is, BBC Four's Olympic coverage, it's very nice of you to

say, you've ticked all the boxes, just waiting for Copaca - Worrall

Thompson before I can go to bed. I'm not sure it's going to happen.

Normally they are setting up the circuit training by now. We expect

him about eight o'clock our time, about midnight back at home. If he's

not coming, I might have to send Dan off up and down the beach, the floor

manager, Dan, as well as researching moon news, can you see if Antony

Worrall Thompson is somewhere else on the beach? I feel that he's

genuinely gone. I feel we need to see him. I don't know about you, but

that can't be the last time that we see Antony Worrall Thompson the

night before last. Lots of other people saying please, please, please

can teenage route in the bin men be the new Copaca - binmen hashtag? It

was trending on the trot. For several nights. I've come to terms,

says Ollie, with the fact the Olympics is coming to an end but I'm

not sure I'm ready to say goodbye to Copaca cars- binmen. Lots of people

asking if there is a live feed they can hook up to four seeing the

binmen. People are asking for their fix of Copaca - binmen, apparently

there is one, the Earth satellite, a webcam that you can hook up to, so

maybe that will be oversubscribed once these Olympics come to an end.

I, like you, feel life will be incomplete without a look at some

lovely men called Raphaelite Donatello and Alejandro and Pedro

picking up the bins every night. Sean says surely we need to finish

off the show tomorrow night with a montage all the Copacabana Sirte and

the weirdness of the Games. Many requests, I believe something is in

production. -- Copacabanter. Tim is reluctantly going through all the

various tapes and recordings of the last few weeks, putting it all

together. I'm not sure whether that business of yesterday, the intense

reading, is going to make it in there but something will get there.

Nigel says, this is the first time I stayed up for the Copacabana -- the

Copaca binmen and now I get the bonus of eight Copaca moon. Tony

says Copaca lunar would be better. People are asking if we can show

they shot off the plane going across the blood red moon. I think we can.

Let's have a look at this again, this was pretty special. We've had

our red moon, it's going slightly back to normal coloured moon, but

have a look at this once again, can we show that? I think we can. Have a

look, wait for it. If we just wait, hold on a minute, oh, no, it's gone,

I thought we were going to get the binmen in as well, what a huge

disappointment. Maybe we've had enough Copaca binmen tonight. Can we

see the moon now? It's gone back to somewhat normal colour. I've put out

a social media request to Professor Brian Cocks and Dara O Briain as a

substitute, so if either of those would like to come on and have a

little chat about the science behind the red moon, that would be lovely.

We'll take your suggestions as well just in case. Yesterday we were

showing you an amazing handball match, a semifinal in the women's

competition, Norway against Russia. Unfortunately we had to leave it at

2am in the morning your time and the score was 28-28, so they went into

extra time for stock they play five minutes each way of extra time. We'd

join it at the start of the second period. Russia are leading 34-33.

The winner at the end of this goes into the gold medal match. This is

Russia taking on more weight, five minutes of extra time to go, Russia

with a one goal lead. COMMENTATOR: Five minutes left in

the second period of extra time, Norway 33-34 Russia. Can one of

these two teams win it in the next five minutes and get through to the

final of Rio 2016? Norway on the attack, dropping back again to try

to stretch the defence. Christiansen moves into the centre. Lovely, huge

angle! Levelling it again! Nipped and tuck between these two teams. A

goal one end and a goal at the other. 34-34, another high-scoring

game, admittedly three of those goals each have come in the extra

time period but still, in normal time, 31-31 is reasonably

high-scoring. Keeping to the Russian standard of having pretty much 30

goals scored in all bar one of their games so far, only France managed to

keep them under the scoreline, 26, and they still won the game. One of

these teams will need some Russian standard at the end. That is the

turn and it is in the post! The penalty is given. Off the inside of

the I should have said. Well, it was two of them. I think

one pushed her into the other. Three penalty saves already. Sorry, for

penalty saves and on comes Lunde, had 260th International today, using

all her experience. But Russia school and they are back in front.

35-34. Three and a half minutes left on the clock. Russia is starting to

score their seven metre throws now. This is the time to sort that out.

On the overlap. Driving in and off the inside of the post but again,

penalty given. Such a close call with these situations, whether the

defenders are moving or not. The referee is well-placed to see it. In

this case, clearly still in movement. If they had managed to

close the gap a second earlier, it would have been an attacking foul.

She is coolness personified, job done. And once more, it is level

with less than three minutes remaining. 14 goals for her. Despite

the desperate lunge by the goalkeeper, throwing herself at it

and if it is still level at the end of this period, there will be

another two times five minutes to play, exhausting for the players,

especially given the rhythm they have maintained throughout the

semifinal. Finding the back of the net and Russia are back in front,

36-35. She has been providing rather than scoring in this game. But today

she has come good in extra time. Only a free throw and Norway are

still attacking. We are coming towards the two minute mark. Getting

away from the marker and releases to the wing, good play and trademark

Norwegian move, driving and. Nice and simple, don't over complicate

it. This is going to come down to who misses the most, isn't it? They

go up the other end, they score, they go up the other end, baseball,

whoever makes a mistake, whichever goalkeeper manages to get a

fingertip to the ball could be the team to go through to the final. A

free throw, the defender coming across very quickly. Good angle for

the wing and under the keeper! She doubles up on the left wing, she's

quite versatile herself as well. And back, Norway with one minute and 15

seconds remaining. Straight through and under the keeper again!

Kristiansen. Incredible, it is just straight up each end and as you say,

it is going to come down to one save. We are into the last minute

now. Who can keep their nerve, here? Good defence, managed to stop her

turning and awarded a penalty, just a freak, stopping the clock with 46

seconds remaining, the block and thereby the defender who is on a

second suspension and they've do add to that engine, they are mopping the

floor and the players' hearts are probably beating at 110 miles an

hour. They just want to get on with it. Nothing builds tension like

mopping the floor! In this scenario, that sentence is bizarrely true.

The pass was a bit behind but the shot comes in. Penalty to Russia!

And we are almost in an identical scenario to the end of the normal 60

minutes. Russia had a penalty with about 30 seconds left on the clock,

scored it, look like they had won it and Norway went up the other end and

equalised. It was a good save by the goalkeeper but the defenders inside

the area, battling away and they both step back into it and Lunde

comes on impassively. She scores! And again, Norway up against the

clock. 25 seconds left. If Norway don't score in this attack, they are

going to be not going through to the final of the Olympic Games.

Christiansen out of the wing. It is wide! Norway have missed it! And

surely that means Russia are going to be going through to the Olympic

final! The Norwegian women stand with their heads in their hands on

the side of the court. Because there is the hooter, and there is the

final whistle! Norway, the champions in Beijing, the champions in London,

but they have been beaten by Russia, who are through to the Olympic

final. Incredible scenes! The Russian goalkeeper, absolutely

swamped by her team-mates and tears of despair for the Norwegians, who

wanted to write their own page of history. But they are thwarted by a

Russian team who played their game and play it fast, took the game to

them and kept their nerve at the end. An absolutely distraught

player, who missed the last lob over the goalkeeper, it was centimetres

wide and it could have taken it to another extra time but tears of joy

for the Russians. They are trying to come over and consoled. It will take

some time before she can get up and come to terms with it. But you

cannot fall to her, she tried so hard. It is one of those things but

Russia are in a final at the end of an amazing semifinal that goes to

extra time. The final score, Norway 37-38 Russian Federation.

So there you go, Russia winning by a single point in the end and going

onto the final and I think before we finish at 2am, we will have a tiny

bit more handle for you. We are going to go back to the basketball

very shortly. The handball later is in the men's competition, the

semifinal between Poland and Denmark. We told you that Peter

Schmeichel actually, the distinctive goalkeeping style, I can't do that

had because I've got a microphone, hold on, he learned that as a

handball player because it is huge in Scandinavia. Very good game, as

is Frescobaldi. We have been telling you a lot about it and waiting to

get you some fresco action. Come on, boys, you live on the BBC, let's see

how quickly can keep the fresco ball going. If you are ready, we are

ready. It's a bit like Dennis but a wooden bat, like a stool ball back.

Go again and I will just describe it. The ball is very bouncy. For

those of you who missed the early description of fresco ball, it is

not a sort of opponent sport. It is more a partner. One of the guys is

meant to be smashing it fast and the other one is meant to be deflecting

back. These two are in the early stages of fresco ball magic. Let's

go and have a quick word. I don't want to put you off on your fresco

ball. Let's have a quick word about the Olympic Games. What have you

seen so far? I think the Olympic Games are imported to Rio and the

tourism because the economy depends on tourism in Rio. So many countries

coming here to spend money and watch the Olympic Games. Has it been

exciting as a resident of Rio, a Carioca, to see some of the biggest

names in the world like Usain Bolt racing last night? We left here at

10pm and Usain Bolt's race was about half an hour later and as we were

walking down Copacabana, every bar stopped, everyone went quiet and

they watched for 20 seconds and then they cheered and shouted. He is a

global superstar and he's in your city at the moment along with lots

of other massive names from the sporting world. I think it is

important because they are famous in the world forever and it is honoured

to be here with him because he is a legend. I am now in the same country

of him. It's amazing. Lovely to hear. We have also seen just down

the way, after Usain Bolt, we saw a fifth gold medal for Brazil in the

beach volleyball, Silva in the judo, and in the pole vault as well,

concise owl in the boxing and be sailing gold medal yesterday. What

has it been like as they host nation to see that as the Copaca-binmen go

behind us, it is all coming together now, what has it been like as the

host nation. It is our boys as well! Evening, gents! They've got the next

one, they've gathered a few on their travels. What has it been like as

the host nation to see that success for Brazilians. It is amazing how

Brazil can have a lot of... How can I say? A lot of type of different

people. It is good, more medals for Brazil. The USA have like 100

medals. Team GB are second in the medal table, Great Britain. You

know, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Great Britain? We are

second, behind USA. Oh, yes, and I think England, how can I say, it is

amazing, too. One last one, do you think it will make a difference to

Brazil? Maybe both of you can answer this, a difference to Brazil when

everyone has left the Olympics are finished and the Paralympics have

finished. Two years ago, the World Cup was here as well. Do you think

it will make a difference to the people? Of course, the Olympic and

the World Cup have a legacy to Brazil because we know the different

cultures from Beit other countries, the whole world is watching Brazil

now and Rio so we can make the children... Play different sports

beside football. Soccer. It is a monoculture. Can I compliment you on

your amazing English? It's a word you probably never heard, I feel

like a real Luddite listening to use big brilliant English and I can't

speak any Portuguese apart from I can say obrigado. I am getting it

right, continue with a bit of fresco ball. Lovely to talk to you both. It

has been great for us to speak to normal residents of Rio, what you

think about Brazilian culture and the Olympics. We will let you enjoy

your evening on the beach. Do you want to see if there's any sign of

Antony Worrall Thompson? This is like a hole in all of our lives.

Look at it, no one here, normally there's people shuffling along the

beach and people dragging things and cattle bells and Antony Worrall

Thompson sitting over there with his green mussel top or his grey top.

Apparently, for all of the Antony Worrall Thompson fans out there, I

know he's not here tonight and he leaves a big hole for all of us but

we have got some footage of him from a few nights ago if you are really

missing the Antony Worrall Thompson hit. Here is a bit of him from a few

nights ago. Have a look. This will bring it all back. There he goes. Go

on, son! Look at the technic, beautiful, a man who has worked so

hard in the last few nights, he did ninth circuit training sessions on

the trot and he's brilliant, been a great sport, does not speak anywhere

near as good English as Raphael over there but said he did not want to

come on the BBC. But he's been very happy to be part of our coverage on

BBC Four. I don't know if I could explain to him just how significant

a character he has become to the BBC for viewers. But it has been magical

for us to spend a few evenings in the present of AWT as we like to

call him. No Lunde, no party. This is the basketball, it's in the

3rd quarter, Australia against Serbia, Serbia Way ahead of

Australia by 21 points. COMMENTATOR:

Keep shooting well, Serbia, which they have done so far. It's a tough

road for Lemanis' team to get back in. That's the other thing, I know

you mentioned Australia were great from the bench but Serbia have been

getting 44 points on average from their bench players. Mills has a

good look, it's not going to go in and the rebound just saved from

being out of bounds. Mills is yet to get firing.

There's a foul on Raduljica, forcing his way through the middle. Watch

13, he sets the pig. And follows it up. With the chokehold. He was

making a meal of it. You know how when you put the chokehold on, you

raise your arm to make sure you're still conscious. That's one of the

things that can help Australia, they could have had an open three. Ingles

moves back. Now takes the job off and hits it. 40-21. Again, it's

encouraging from Australia but comms -- but Serbia continued to play the

way they have and it's a tough road still for Australia. He's been

brilliant. The whole Olympic Games, he's so smart, always seems to make

the right decisions, the right path and another fantastic move. Does it

sound to you like court -- coach Djordjevic, his whistle sounds

exactly like the referee's whistle? I thought it was the players' shoes

but it does sound like the referee's whistle. He whistled for his team.

Step inside, take the two, he has a nice open look for it. Obviously the

director thinks Stimac is the best player on the bench. A great reach,

a good cheer, he's done well in a couple of games they have put him

in. If Raduljica keeps failing he might get more time. That's what

happens, absolutely. At least Australia are topping this corner,

they will take that as something, it might be two by the end of this,

but... Maybe I've read that too early. The whistle blew before the

shot, I assume in the lane to early since everything was in the lane too

early but that's a rule that observed mostly by its

nonobservance. At least they're slightly getting

something going for Serbia at the moment, but a long way to go still.

42-23. Ingles is calling for the foul.

Australia has outscored 9-7 in this quarter, which is not what they need

-- has outscored Serbia. Good pass to Raduljica, he's travelling. Yes,

that whistle sounds just like the referee's whistle, doesn't it? It

took Raduljica completely by surprise. When someone is coming

down for basket and Sasha whistles, they stop.

Can't hit the three. Mills with the steal, Mills can't get it to go,

Baynes can't get it to go, but Baynes is fouled by Nikola Jokic.

Seems to be an improvement in the rebound is from Australia and that

was an area that it needed to pick up on. A couple of offensive rebound

is there. Nikola Jokic said to the referee he was holding my wrist, he

went right over and told him that. You have got to be careful though. A

different referee would give a technical foul for that. This is the

shot. 82%, he shoots well for a big man. But... 18 point lead. Under six

minutes to go in the third. From the Australian perspective it's

a matter of keep plodding away at the deficit, give yourself something

to work on in the 4th quarter. So far in that respect is going well. I

think it's been a bit of an improvement in the way that the

offensive movements have gone but still, Serbia are playing extremely

well. Teodosic Chas been playing fantastic and they keep shooting

well. Markovic handling again, Teodosic should is moved to the

bottom. What a great move. Mills, Ingles, he wants to drive.

This is the left-hand layout and Serbia come away with the ball.

Nothing drops for Australia. Back to Teodosic, inside beautiful pass to

Raduljica and he puts it in, 46-24. Of the team they have worked it so

well. They are doing what Australia is not, moving the ball around and

finding the open play. Fantastic from Serbia. Must be said it doesn't

help for Australia when they are shooting at 25% from the field. You

cannot win an Olympic game simply -- semifinal shooting at 25%. It would

be almost impossible, surely. Raduljica comes out. Three fouls for

Raduljica. Usually gets into these situations by the 3rd quarter and

gets the rest. Bogut, the team seventh foul halfway through the

third period. Australia just having real trouble keeping the lead around

20. Absolutely, they have to get to ten, surely. Bogut hasn't fired.

Even Dellavedova has been quiet. The Olympic Games he has had have been

fantastic. He has barely been able to pass the ball around. Patty Mills

from 3-point range has not got going. This is really concerning

from the Australian team. Bogdanovich, good pass. Back out.

Markovic. Five on the shot clock. A foul. You contrast Australia and

Serbia, the scoring from Serbia, is spread all over, several on six,

some on eight, leading the way 14, everyone is contributing for

Australia. There are so many zeros there, it's not good. When you watch

that sequence from Serbia on the last possession, it looks like

Australia in most of it. Absolutely, they've taken the Australia

offensive and added the offensive here. Making the extra pass, making

good use of the extra pass. Absolutely.

The Serbia women tomorrow will play France in the bronze medal game,

followed by Spain and the US in the gold medal game. A magnificent

Olympic Games for Serbia in the basketball, part of the great

Yugoslavian teams of the past. This is the second time the men's team

have come as a team Serbia to the Olympic Games. For the women, is

their first time. They've been magnificent and this one. Just in

the points scoring, Australia had never scored less than 81 at the

Olympic Games. They are not going to get anywhere near that. Only a 25

and we're coming towards the end of the 3rd quarter. That is

extraordinary, the defensive work from Serbia. Stefan Bircevic, made

an Olympic debut in Atlanta with a silver medal in 1996. They haven't

muddled since. That was Yugoslavia, together, at that point in 96, so

this is Serbia just as Serbia. He takes his shirt off, and

exchange. They must be absolute to delighted, they are 23 points ahead

here. I'm not sure when Djordjevic was drawing up the game plan which

has worked brilliantly that it would work this well. Absolutely not. For

and a half to play in the third. Patty Mills has had to work very

hard. He's got very little reward for it. In the corner Ingles 43.

That one won't go, the rebound to Motum. 48-27 now. Pressure from

Australia. They double inside but Stefan Jovic is able to get the ball

out. It was a pretty brilliant play by Stefan Jovic to manage himself

out of bounds and pass it out. That's a call right there, is the

dosage, Australia pressing, they give Serbia pressure. 51-29. At

least they are stepping up the pace, Australia, that will be encouraging

for them. But mills -- but Milos Teodosic, what a remarkable player,

17 points in this one, he's been a real leader for them.

Damian Martin is coming into the game, as there was a foul behind the

play after the basket for holding. A technical, no less.

Two shots at the basket there, I wonder if that was the two

technicals. Or was that the 16th? And another sportsmanlike, get they

get the two shots, we didn't know what it was for because we didn't

see it, didn't see the referee's signal. It could be where he is

preventing the fast break. He was holding, he grabs the wrist, that

was it, Ingles. With the offensive foul, pretty clear there. Set.

Mirsky really difficult for Australia, what do you do to get

back in this? You have not looked good the whole game, you are down by

24 point and is only three minutes left in the third quarter. Serbia

have not been bothered at all. It has left openings for the fence on

the court. You have to take risks but the risks are risks for reason

and even though Patty Mills is starting to get into gear, here, it

is still a really tough job for Australia. Serbia have been

magnificent. They have to see this out now. They lead by 24.

Teodosic gasoline sword and banks it in. He's a remarkable, what a player

and the way they have played has also given the team confidence

because when you are dominating by so much, you are forcing Australia

into difficult things and positions, then you grow in belief that this is

working. Mills has decided to take this on his own shoulders and there

is a foul as both Martin and Brock Motum played Mills' rebound.

Teodosic is seven from 12 from the floor. They have not been easy shots

for the most part. He's a remarkable talent but he is so intelligent. I

think he has the -- don't think he has the silky skills some of the

other players in the Olympic Games but uses his smarts so well, not

that he is technically not he is technically good. Still, 33 points

in almost three quarters of basketball, I can't remember a score

this low at the Olympic Games in the men's basketball.

It is Martin. Takes a look at the replay to see how the fouled. -- how

he fouled. It is all the more remarkable because of the strength

of Australia's run through the group and the quarterfinals. They

certainly seemed to be the second-best team in the tournament

at that point and maybe to some extent, they got caught looking past

Serbia. It's possible. They were kind of a surprise Dean Budd Serbia

has come out and played easily the best game I have seen them play in

this tournament. -- a surprise team but Serbia. But the potential was

there, you saw it against the US, they were remarkable in that game as

well but also, the important thing, maybe a factor for Australia was

that they were a victim of their own success, they were so comfortable in

every game apart from the USA game and they really pushed it that they

have never been in this situation. They have never had to solve this

problem before. When it was presented to them, they did not have

the solution. And right now, they need to be looking primarily for

three pointers if they can but they are not getting them. Ryan Broekhoff

is followed after the shot by Bogdanovic. Two minutes to go.

Serbia won't mind giving up fouls right now because the way it is

going, they are looking comfortable. You may call that fairly simple. I
