With 17 minutes remaining Majstorovic, who had earlier been 調書をとる/予約するd for a foul on Yakubu, raised a 手渡す to Boateng and was yellow-carded for a second time.

Rochemback and Hasselbaink 軍隊d saves from Zuberbuhler in quick succession, but there was nothing to 'keeper could do when the Dutchman let 飛行機で行く from 25 yards with 11 minutes remaining to level the aggregate 得点する/非難する/20s and 始める,決める up a grandstand finish.

And the 演劇 continued 権利 to the last when, after the 'keeper had turned away Rochemback's stinging 運動, Maccarone 解雇する/砲火/射撃d home the 回復する to 誘発する delirious 祝賀s の中で a (人が)群がる of 24,521.
