Bos at left back struggling against his opponent defensively and offensively.

Scrambling defence from us … but not in a good way.

[otto62]

We really need half time.

Save by Gauci keeps it 0-1.

Coach has to get in their heads for a gutsy second half if we’re to have any chance.

Half time

Deeply disappointing.

[otto62]

Wow.
Look at the crowd … for a semi-final.

[otto62]

Saudis yet to concede a goal in this tournament.
(4 & 1/2 games now)
If we can get a win here we’d go into the final full of confidence.

Schiesse, again the VAR.
This time for a penalty.

Taking forever.

Nothing, nichts, nada.

[otto62]

Clear penalty …. but not given.

Must be hot, but still … Kuol was walking instead of closing down in the lead up to the corner that led to the potential penalty.

Maybe it's game over in their heads.

Subbing three players at once by the look of it.

We are keeping our shape and defending well.
But where will the goal come from?

[otto62]

We can’t hold the ball when we have it and we can’t apply any pressure on ball when we don’t have it.

Saudis in complete control. Our best hope is complacency by the Saudis and them overcommitting at a corner, with us grabbing an undeserved equaliser on the break.
