00:37Not too much of a challenge, I don't think. It should be a good game, this.
00:42A good colleague of ours, working British Broadcasting, Alan Graeme Souness, was manager of Galatasaray.
00:47I seem to remember him revving up the atmosphere against Fenerbahce as the manager planting a Galatasaray flag in the
00:55centre circle before one of these games.
00:56Yeah, I think he ran off down the tunnel after that. He's a brave man, but not that brave. What
01:01a night that was.
01:08Feredun Doantzai is the referee here.
03:00to him for having a crack
03:05Wesley Snyder
03:09here's a chance to move forward from midfield after that interception
03:16Galatasaray went and got possession back there
03:32here's Van Persie
03:39that will help ease the pressure
03:51Snyder
04:15Wesley Snyder
04:17and shoots
04:18they tried his luck but his luck was out
04:35can he do it?
04:37oh it's the post
04:46Robin Van Persie
04:47Van Persie
04:51got it away from the danger
04:53no problem
04:59chance from the pass
05:01and it's in
05:02for Fenerbahce
05:10two for him on the day
05:12and two very well taken goals
05:15that's given them a comfortable situation here
05:183-0 as the game gets underway
05:24well they're back defending
05:25and they've cut the pass out there
05:27and maybe that will ease the pressure
05:32nothing wrong with that tackle
05:34shots on here
05:35well that was the hat-trick chance
05:37not many times in a season
05:39you do get an opportunity to get the match ball
05:41but that was certainly one of them
06:00and here's the shots
06:01that was an opportunity
06:03and that really would have given them
06:04just another chance of getting back into the game
06:07well they haven't let the heads drop
06:08but they've got to be careful
06:09that that doesn't happen now
06:10with that missed chance
06:12and
06:13the ball's gone again
06:18Wesley Snyder
06:19real good contest between these two
06:22as they jostle for possession
06:26space to try and hit it now
06:28he's hit it
06:29hard and true
06:31but the goalkeeper
06:31doesn't have to move
06:37and he could get away here
06:38the shot's on
06:39that's a
06:40straightforward effort really
06:42for the goalkeeper
06:43catching practice
07:01here's Van Persie
07:04shot up
07:05three of the best
07:06he's made them play
07:08and that completes a wonderful hat-trick
07:19what a day he's having
07:20three goals now
07:22he's been a thorn in the side
07:23of the opposition
07:24all match
07:25and he thoroughly deserves that hat-trick
07:27it's turning out to be a comfortable game
07:30this 4-0
07:35Hakan Balter
07:49got it back again
07:52Robin Van Persie
07:59Lucas Podolsky
08:09he can hit it here
08:10and that's a goal for Van Persie
08:19well they've increased their lead here
08:21and that could just wrap up the match
08:23yeah the much better team
08:25out here today
08:26and that scoreline reflects that
08:28oh it's a great finish
08:29to take the keeper
08:31at the equation
08:31I mean the keeper had no chance there
08:33bottom corner
08:34if you're losing count
08:36it's 5-0
08:37it's a bad pass
08:38he's giving it straight to the opposition
08:42Lucas Podolsky
08:49he's got it shut off now
08:50well it's a long way off target
09:02that's gone out for a throw in
09:14Wesley Snyder
09:18able to make a good interception
09:22Robin Van Persie
09:33he's got support here
09:34for score
09:35and it's in
09:36for Fenerbahce
09:44a dramatic moment
09:46it's a defender
09:47who has breached their defence
09:48I think they were almost taking him for granted
09:51they didn't think he was one of the chief threats
09:53but he was
09:54well the match a long time over here
09:566-0 now
10:04Podolsky
10:11that will help ease the pressure
10:13top out
10:17here's Van Persie
10:19and the time to be added on
10:21is just one minute
10:22and now the shot
10:23perhaps a decent effort
10:25skimming over the crossbar
10:34Aurelien Chechu
10:41half time here
10:42and who would believe this scoreline
10:44well it was a story of one half
10:46and two teams
10:48two teams of vastly differing ability
10:50and application here
10:51I wasn't expecting it
10:53before the match
10:54I thought they were a little bit more
10:55even than that
10:56but the team on top
10:58well what a performance
11:14three changes
11:15all at the same time
11:17it's quite a drastic decision
11:19from the manager
11:30Fernandao
11:32shots on here
11:33really snatched at the shot
11:35and it's gone well wide
11:43Wesley Snider
11:44Wesley Snider
11:53Fernandao
11:55simple save
11:57from an ambitious effort
12:08it's kind of battery's ball now
12:13Fernandao
12:23too early
12:25too early
12:25offside
12:35Wesley Snider
12:40Neustadt
12:47Neustadt
12:47Fernandao
12:48real good contest
12:50between these two
12:51as they jostle for possession
12:53let's see a substitute
12:54coming on
12:55to the away team here
12:59and the manager deciding to
13:02go for it
13:03and bring on
13:03a new player
13:04top out
13:13Neustadt
13:20Neustadt
13:20top out
13:23and here's the shot
13:24not much in that
13:26it was a whisker
13:27wider the post
13:40possession with Pennebache
13:44we've got the away manager
13:45indicating he wants to make
13:47a substitution now
13:50and shoots
13:51and the keeper
13:52and the keeper can collect
13:53this one
13:58well they're back
13:59defending
13:59and they've cut
14:00the pass out there
14:01and maybe that will
14:02ease the pressure
14:06Galatasaray
14:07went and got
14:07possession back
14:08then
14:20Schneider
14:23Neustadt
14:32Fernandao
14:33Fernandao
14:34the shot's up
14:36right into the bottom corner
14:44that's a great piece of
14:46tactical awareness
14:46by the manager
14:47and by the player himself
14:49who's put the instructions
14:51into practice
14:51well it's a fine
14:53individual
14:54counter-attack
14:54isn't it
14:55what a goal
14:56from him
14:56I have to say
14:57it's so one-sided today
14:59but all credit to the team
15:00for they're racking up
15:02shots up
15:02decent block
15:05Schneider
15:06Podolsky
15:15Skirtle
15:20some players
15:21limbering up
15:22to the away team
15:23substitution in the offing
15:24he's got his shot off now
15:25he's just reached it
15:26the goalkeeper
15:28there'll be
15:29a signal here
15:30at the corner
15:38substitution time
15:53yesin
15:54öztekin
16:06schneider
16:09great tackling technique
16:10to win the ball
16:12cleanly
16:21and now the shot
16:23straight at the keeper
16:41well when they do say
16:42you've been in these matches
16:44about the psychology
16:46of getting it right
16:47on the big day
16:48you would have thought
16:49ability-wise
16:49it's very much
16:51a level pegging here
16:52but in fact
16:53one side seems
16:54far more up for it
16:55than the other
16:56yeah I think
16:56that does seem to be
16:57the case
16:58whether
16:59the one manager
17:00has pumped up
17:01his players
17:02shots on here
17:03I think he rushed
17:04his shot there
17:05and that's why
17:05it's so wide of the mark
17:08we are going to see
17:09a substitution now
17:20Wesley Schneider
17:30very good challenge
17:31very good challenge
17:38not often you get
17:39at this level
17:40a game
17:40as one-sided
17:41as this
17:41it's great
17:42for the team
17:43with all the goals
17:43but the others
17:45just waiting
17:46for the final whistle
17:47it's a damage limitation
17:49in these closing minutes
17:54Skirtle
17:56Fernandau
18:01Neustadtel
18:13defied belief
18:14that save
18:14we've got to see it again
18:16well his reactions
18:17were just second to none
18:24he's lost the ball
18:28and here's the shot
18:29oh it's a post
18:49he's known as a fine passer
18:50of a football
18:51and he's right
18:53on his game today
18:55well there we go
18:56a very one-sided affair
18:57in this match
18:58and the referee
18:59has brought it to a halt
19:01well it's turned out
19:03to be a demolition derby
19:04hasn't it Alan?
19:05yep
19:05it's been a lot more
19:06one-sided than I thought
19:08well
