00:00As he is as a goal scorer in his own right they say
00:04Quality players all through the middle and all up the front for the Colombians
00:08And as you can see them there lining up from right to left the man on the ball is one to keep an eye on
00:13Always when Colombia play Carlos Valderrama of Montpellier in France
00:18Voted best Latin American player two years ago
00:21We saw the glimpses of his undoubted class in the first game first free kick of the game though goes to Yugoslavia
00:28Maybe a change of strip today playing in white instead of their customary blue will bring them a change of fortune
00:33And it's fair to say they need a vastly improved performance on the first game. Higuita letting the free kick from
00:40Number 10 Dragan Stojkovic run out of play. So first moment of
00:45Apparent danger goes away for the Colombians and as the band marches off
00:50Perhaps you can hear them marching away down the tunnel in the background. You'll start to pick up the noise of the crowd. No doubt
00:55Wonderful color and both sets of supporters here represented in numbers. Although I think
01:00Just having a check around the stadium before play. It seemed as though
01:04There were less
01:06Yugoslavs here today than there had been in the Meazza in Milan
01:09And they are known as people who were pretty forthright in their opinions about their team if the team doesn't play
01:14Then they vote with their feet on occasion and it seems as though some of them have done that today
01:19Even though they perhaps made the trip to Italy for the duration of the opening round
01:23Colombians knocking it back about comfortably at the back Valderrama
01:28And apparently the Yugoslavs not too worried about forcing them in
01:35Stojkovic forward and then he lost it Valderrama into the space good cover tackle and
01:41Hazibegic can let it run all the way through to Ivkovic the keeper keeps his place
01:45You were seeing the West German goals going crashing into his net in the first game of the group
01:50But Ivkovic has been picked to play again for Yugoslavia. Many people suggested that he would be one of the casualties as Ivka Ogim
01:57tried
01:59To put a team out there
02:00You see the team that he's gone for just repeating three changes and it's the new boy up the front 16
02:06Sabonadzevic will be worth keeping an eye on
02:09Although he did also contribute by throwing one in almost in the second half. It was finished off by Rudy Volo
02:18Let's see what the Colombians can produce
02:21Escobar is standing in front of the ball. So is Gomez
02:28Wall moving driven through it as it broke
02:33Rincon's drive
02:37Referee gives the corner
02:40You saw it hit a defender here. It comes again
02:43going through but taking a clip from one of the defenders and
02:47Stanoikovic to give him credit this fellow has taken up some excellent positions pushing forward down the right side
02:57Good ball to Yugoslavs under this
03:02And very nearly producing something it was Katanets who got the header
03:08Good moment for Yugoslavia who've created a couple of chances and that's already more almost than they did in the whole game against West Germany
03:16Good stuff. Stanoikovic with the cross, men underneath the ball, but Katanets really timed his jump
03:22excellently
03:29Ivkovic organizes, Gomez throws
03:35Medin won it back
03:37Aziz Guaran who's a noted goal scorer with that instinct in the box
03:42Just stole a fraction of a yard. He got a contact but the defensive cover at the death was good. Here it comes again
03:50and Ivkovic
03:52Stoikovic on the ball, the free-kick expert. Higuita organizing
03:56They haven't made much use of set pieces so far in this game, but they did score against West Germany for one of these
04:01No, but it'll be taken again
04:03Gomez was nearer to two than ten yards from the ball as indicated by the referee
04:09And another chance from a position like this the Yugoslav scored and have they done it again?
04:15No
04:18Offside, no problem. Katanets acknowledges
04:25That may well be the last action of the half. As we reach halftime
04:31Colombia and Yugoslavia drawing no goals apiece. Here's the incident again
04:37swept in but Katanets
04:39Hadn't read the offside
04:41Trapping from the Colombians and as Luigi Agnolin collects the ball just a confirmation at halftime
04:48Colombia nil, Yugoslavia nil in a game which hasn't
04:52Been perhaps the most attractive game of the tournament by any means but remember one goal could be the end of the game
04:58Remember one goal could well change many things in the second half
05:02with the Yugoslavs
05:04Fighting for their lives in the World Cup quality players throughout the team, but they haven't performed like a team according to their manager so far
05:12Maybe the second half will bring a change of fortunes
05:14Colombia nil Yugoslavia nil at halftime looking through the record eight times qualifiers for the World Cup finals Yugoslavia
05:21But in all those eight occasions the best that they have ever done was in the very first World Cup in
05:261930 when they reached the semi-finals three times been to the quarterfinals
05:31Even the second round as we speak would be an achievement this time. We'll see how the second half goes and whether they can
05:38Further improve on what was a better performance. I think it's fair to say
05:42In the first half of this game today
05:46News of a substitution at halftime for the Yugoslavs
05:49Robert Jarny is on the high oak split young player
05:53Only on his way up really from the under 21s and will let you know who's gone off
05:58In a minute or two, but Jarny is on at halftime wearing 17 for Yugoslavia
06:12There he is the youngster with a big reputation so at least and it's Katanets who's gone off forward to Valderrama
06:23Last man there is the big lad Pereira
06:27Helps knock it out of play Yugoslavia on it quickly
06:31Brunovic
06:33Nice left-footed touch about him Jarny the youngster and now Susic the old man of the side
06:38And one or two Yugoslavs forward here. Here goes Susic still him still him and Higuita made
06:46To save at last first time we've seen him make a save in the orthodox fashion. We've seen him
06:53Doing a bit of ball juggling around the edge of the box and coming out and sweeping up and passing to his fullbacks and now
06:57He has to make a save and as our little friend is pointing out. It was a foul
07:05Nil-nil if you're just coming in and joining us this evening for more World Cup
07:10action live from Italy
07:12Colombia on the run here. Oh
07:14Good ball across the face
07:18And it probably was a pretty good chance at the end for Rincon
07:24Here it is again good run from the back by Escobar
07:29Leagues the Yugoslavs
07:33Continue to fight for their lives
07:38Jarny breaking forward first touch by the defender wasn't good
07:42Josic keeps it alive. No offside here danger here the new man Panchev Higuita blocks it and they get away with it
07:50Having lived very dangerously
07:53Higuita gets away with it
07:59And as everybody seemed to be asleep in the Colombian box just about the best chance that the Yugoslavs have had in the game so far
08:08But nil-nil it remains
08:1225 minutes to go
08:16How's he big itch this is he again the sweeper here's the incident again now
08:23Panchev's ability inability to get
08:26As he beggars with the throat he'd come into that far post position and
08:31Maybe Yugoslavia just trying to lift it a little bit and increase the tempo. We'll see
08:38So sitch good ball in here, here's a real chance what a magnificent goal
08:42What a magnificent goal and the man who scored from a defensive position against West Germany has done it for Yugoslavia again
08:50Your six has done it again
08:52He gets forward extremely well
08:56And his finish was excellent and having survived on the nerves for over an hour at Yugoslavia have stolen one
09:05Davo your sitch here it comes again unmarked the defender creeping forward and he could teach a few of the forwards about finishing looking at
09:12That they say this fella doesn't trust himself to get forward enough and it's been a problem in his career
09:17What he's got no reason to worry has he superb finish picked out by susage
09:22Marking was poor at the back for Colombia. And there's the result. He agreed a beaten and Colombia behind
09:29And at last we have a goal
09:31How can Colombia respond?
09:3415 minutes of the game to go and it ties the group up perfectly
09:42The biggest problem it seems of the Yugoslavs is always
09:46Self-belief will this goal give them self-belief in the World Cup?
09:50What can ready and do about it with a corner for Colombia?
09:56Still not clear
10:00Has he begged it was he fouled? Yes, he was
10:04Now David pleats the prayer mat. You must have had your prayer mat out. Here's the goal
10:08It was not seeing it on your monitor. I'm sure yeah, absolutely
10:12Magnificent finish is proud of that
10:14I think that's as good a goal as we've seen in the tournament taking the pace off the ball on his chest a
10:19Terrific strike head over the ball the Guita had no chance with that not a chance to show
10:24Whether he can make great saves or not. That was a terrific effort at goal and thankfully it has woken up the game
10:30I was just considering that maybe even the long ball advocates back in England
10:34Would be having a right smile to themselves because this game so far. It's been bits and pieces
10:40You could almost say much you do about nothing
10:42It's been a middle field battle break off David another one here as a Guita saves ball was driven at him rather by Pankow
10:51But Columbia fighting for their lives suddenly
10:54And I was going to complete that by say
10:56You know for all the midfield play bits and pieces and no end product and there in the space of a couple of minutes
11:01We've seen a magnificent goal and a very good chance missed and that could have put the game completely beyond the Colombians
11:07But thankfully the game now has got some sparkle in it and all the onus now on the Colombians to come forward and as a result
11:14They may can see some space at the back. I would think Paul and
11:18We'll see more chances develop David just very quickly before we get back to the action as a manager
11:23Do you blame the Colombians at all think about the politics of this group West Germany still to play and they can't go into that
11:29Hoping for anything in particular
11:31So in the end and just break off David as the bill move builds up again
11:35You guys are players arriving here transfer says it's to make it safe
11:41Off the woodwork
11:43But Columbia David who've strolled through this game in some ways it would seem with two points now. I've got a real problem
11:50What can they do about it Hernandez?
11:53It's really come to life
11:56Tricky little winger at the substitute man down in the box iguana again with his leech like shadow spas it's right beside him
12:08But your sitch gets
12:11Yugoslavia away again now susage who's coming in
12:15To play a little more that's about the worst ball of his game so far today though
12:18And I was just about to say that he has lifted his performance a little bit as the Yugoslavs know he can
12:25Here we are again, that was his ball again there
12:29To release look like Stoichkov each down the right side
12:34And as it came back to him same players susage bang
12:40And it's ready in Bernardo ready in a midfield man who goes off
12:44So we know what they're thinking about they've got to get forward and they've got to get the ball and they've got to try and
12:50score a goal
12:54Maybe Yugoslavia could finish it in the meantime was that a handball
12:59And was it in or was it out it was right on the edge, what's the referee given?
13:07Looks like a penalty doesn't it?
13:10And it could all be over here smile on the face of the referee completely unconcerned it was well inside as a good piece of referee
13:19Desperate defensive error
13:21By Luis Perea who's had an excellent game and no wonder he looks absolutely distraught a moment's panic
13:28And it's going to finish the game here unless that man Higuita
13:32can prove
13:33What a good goalkeeper he is they're stunned on the bench the Colombians
13:40And it's has a baggage
13:43against Higuita now
13:45We saw a penalty yesterday blazed over the bar by Ruben Sosa of Uruguay
13:51This fella's normally a cool customer
13:57Here he comes
13:59You never know in football do you you just never know and that's what makes it a great game David Cleet
14:04The questions about the goalkeeper. What about that?
14:08I've had the pleasure of being in magic management some years now
14:11But I've never seen any goalkeeper with the audacity and the confidence of this man
14:15He has been the starring player in this substandard game and all of a sudden
14:20He's crammed his own individual performance with a very fine penalty stop
14:24The Yugoslavs will be really feeling sorry for themselves
14:28As it baggage is the second man in two days to miss a penalty in the World Cup and it keeps Colombia alive
14:37Wasn't a great penalty from the look of it
14:39Three red shirts come to close it down and he gets the ball moving away from trouble has a bag. It should come forward
14:49Okay forward to him so she'll keep it
14:53And he seems lifted himself the eight suffolk sausage. Here. He is again. He seems to have raised it just a little bit
15:00What's talking bitch offside yet?
15:06And a yellow card for descent
15:09Five minutes to go as you've just been informed by senior chow
15:14Stoichevich collects a yellow card
15:20But sausage
15:21With the lift provided by the goal is starting to knock the ball around and be a can't create any more danger
15:28They greet us out
15:29doing his
15:31other job as sweeper
15:34I
15:38Everybody being thrown forward Valderrama nice little one to
15:42Hernandez with a good try, but with that may go the last chance
15:47for Colombia
15:52Here it is again space opened up in front of him and to his credit he wasn't shy of shooting for gold
16:03Yugoslavia may well be home and dry now
16:09Hardly a convincing performance, but with their backs to the wall. They've got the points it would say that will
16:17Keep this group balanced
16:20To the very end there it is Yugoslavia back in the World Cup
16:24after a crushing defeat against the West Germans
16:27They pull it all back the goal difference may not look too good
16:32But the vital goal in the second half from Davo Josic is enough to resuscitate
16:39Yugoslavia's hopes
16:40Not a classic of its kind, but I hope you'll agree a very competitive fixture and for Colombia
16:46They know against West Germany. They'll have to get something we wait and see if they can do it
16:51Join us again after the break
