00:00and Bonifaz, who is one of the big names in this competition
00:04and who is being one of the most important scorers this season at the continental level.
00:09Well, we have an added incentive, the viewers of Movistar League of Champions,
00:15the presence of the Spanish Mateu Laoz, the main referee of this game,
00:19which we already saw in the foreground a few seconds ago.
00:23Both teams already on the pitch, the anthem of the Europa League will sound.
00:28We are in Movistar League of Champions to experience this duel,
00:32the second assault of the quarterfinals.
00:34Let's see which of the two will be in the semis,
00:38these are already big words,
00:40or the team of Karel Geraerts or that of the Spanish Xavi Alonso.
00:44The anthem of the Europa League sounds in the Anderlecht Stadium.
00:58Fans chanting in the background
01:16Well, you can hardly hear the anthem because there are a lot of people,
01:21the stadium is absolutely full,
01:23It's a spectacular noise to see such an important match.
01:29Let's see, the fact that you don't play at home, right?
01:32But this is the handicap that always happens to teams in these same circumstances.
01:37More modest teams, let's put it that way.
01:39Marc?
01:40Exactly.
01:41His stadium does not meet the conditions to host a European Championship match.
01:46In this case, the Europa League.
01:48And it will be played at the Anderlecht Stadium, with this San Gilbas eleven.
01:51In principle, with a 4-man defence, with Morris at the goal.
01:54Machida, Park, Burgess, Kandus and Niekob in defence.
01:58In front, Lapuzen, Teuma, Linen, with Bonifaz, Amani and Berthesen as attack references.
02:04There are three perceived players of card, of sanction.
02:07Well, it will be with a 3-man defence, because it is what Karel Geraitz has always done.
02:11What happens is that Machida comes in today, the Japanese central defender for Van der Heijden,
02:14sanctioned, with Burgess inside and Kandus on the right.
02:16Niekob and Lapuzen on the wing, the international with Madagascar on the left,
02:20despite being right-footed.
02:21And then inside, three footballers.
02:23Teddy Teuma, the most creative, left winger normally,
02:26with Linen, more defensive midfielder.
02:28And Amani, on the right, as a winger, who is an African footballer,
02:32who drives the ball with vigor.
02:34And above that complementary pair that we mentioned,
02:37Luis with Berthesen, who has come on loan from PSV Eindhoven,
02:40for the very aggressive free-kicks.
02:42And Bonifaz, I would say, for everything.
02:44To score, but also to lower the ball, to combine, to fix the centrals.
02:49The Nigerian is signing a great competition.
02:51Well, there we see Mateu Lahoz with the two captains of this game.
02:55Mateu Lahoz's assistants.
02:57And this is Bayern's number 11, Leverkusen, for this match,
03:00with three central defenders.
03:01Xabi Alonso will also play.
03:02Haradek, the Finnish, at the goal.
03:04Incapieta and Tapsova, central defenders.
03:06Bakker and Frimpong, lanes.
03:08Andrij and Amiri, in the double pivot.
03:11The three most advanced men, Virth, Zlozek and Diaby.
03:14Yes, here are some news regarding the first leg.
03:18For example, the entry of the Czech Zlozek at the beginning.
03:21Amiri also in the middle of the field,
03:23in front of the ball from Palacios, to form the double six with Andrij.
03:26The lanes are the same.
03:28Frimpong on the right, Bakker on the left.
03:30The central defenders, Tapsova, Ta, Incapieta, Haradek and the goalkeeper.
03:34And we'll see how the spaces are distributed above,
03:37because the most extreme of all would be the French Diaby, left-footed.
03:41And then Virth and Zlozek can play different roles.
03:45Both can be forwards with a very distant profile from each other,
03:50but they can also play from behind to look for balls between lines.
03:56Well, the game is about to start.
03:57He's going to put the ball in circulation to the right of his images.
04:01It looked like the game was about to start, but he has...
04:03I don't know if there's a problem there, Mateu Laoz.
04:06Now, yes, he's already in position to start the match,
04:11to put the ball in play.
04:14Bayer Leverkusen to the right of his images.
04:17To the left, Union San Giluas,
04:19with that first recovery from Karel Geraerts' team.
04:23Well, let's see what we were saying, Marc,
04:26if this is a very different duel from the previous match,
04:30from last Thursday's first leg.
04:33We'll see if playing at home at San Giluas
04:36encourages him to have a more offensive intention from the start.
04:40I don't think so.
04:41It's a team that plays more comfortably,
04:43being more reactive, giving the initiative,
04:45giving the ball to the opponent,
04:47to defend very well, very close together,
04:49and then move forward with very clear ideas.
04:52Playing the ball, Xabi Alonso's team,
04:55we were saying, both with spectacular numbers
04:58in the last days, in the last weeks,
05:01without losing, combining several official competitions
05:06and achieving very good results, both teams.
05:09Florian Beers wants to get in now, the German player.
05:13Watch out for that first ball inside the box,
05:15which ends in a goal.
05:17Goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal.
05:24The first of the match.
05:27A ball that reached Diaby,
05:30who cut the goalkeeper, Maurice.
05:34It looked like he had little angle left,
05:37but he had enough precision and accuracy
05:40to send the ball to the back of the net.
05:43This is an early goal.
05:45First minute of the match.
05:47Diaby scores.
05:49Bayer Leverkusen beat Union San Giluas.
05:52With that ability that Beers has
05:55to gather rivals inside,
05:57it's true that there's a bit of luck
05:59as a result of the rejection,
06:01but Diaby is the one who best interprets it,
06:03looking for that deep cut,
06:05and it's up to Linen in that fight with Hlosek.
06:08Diaby is more electric, faster than everyone else,
06:11and also with cold blood,
06:13to leave the goalkeeper aside
06:15and finish very well with the left foot.
06:17Well, this is the start of the match with an advantage,
06:20clearly, because absolutely nothing had happened,
06:24and it's as if there was an advantage in the first leg.
06:27Right now it's as if there were two to one
06:32in the match played at the Bayer Arena last Thursday.
06:35What happens is that, of course, with the whole game plan
06:38that Karel Geraint had prepared,
06:40now we'll see how far it changes, right?
06:44Bayer Leverkusen gets the ball back.
06:47The ball for Amiri.
06:49He wants to open to the right, but Amiri follows.
06:51The ball is centred towards the penalty spot.
06:54The men of Xavi and Alonso are coming.
06:57Many who had already gone to the front of the area.
06:59Beers wants to hang the ball.
07:01He's looking for the short half.
07:03The defense of Union San Giluas
07:05who tries to counterattack.
07:07Amani does it.
07:08Marfileño comes out quickly, but Amiri is going to need it.
07:11He needs it, or so it seemed.
07:13Mateu Laos says it's OK.
07:15The game is broken from the start.
07:17Good recovery to the ground from Teuma.
07:20The ball for Nieupko.
07:23Nieupko looking for the front of the area.
07:25Berthesen turns around, puts it on the front.
07:28The shot is blocked by Tapsova.
07:31The game has started.
07:33It's electric.
07:34We've only had three and a half minutes of this first half.
07:37Very nice.
07:38That shot from Bonifaz was poisonous.
07:40We've seen an action in which he let Mateu Laos play.
07:43They are usually referees of this style.
07:45I imagine even more so at the international concert.
07:47But the game is really vibrant and very electric in these first minutes.
07:50Mateu won't miss a foul if it's not very clear.
07:53In that sense, it's one of the characteristics.
07:56Mateu Laos is a British player.
07:58He lets him play a lot.
08:00Any foul, or any foul that he perceives,
08:04obviously won't be missed.
08:08Much less has been missed now.
08:11In that attempt to progress, to get inside,
08:14Lapusen.
08:16Incredible.
08:17Bayer Leverkusen has put himself in front of the scoreboard
08:20in the first minute of the game.
08:23Yes, because it was very difficult for him.
08:25In the first half, he started quite well,
08:27circling with agility.
08:29But then we saw the defensive strength
08:31without the ball that the Belgian team has.
08:33And until the final stretch,
08:34Virts' goal came,
08:36and Leverkusen's clear domination.
08:38The German team couldn't impose themselves.
08:40Ball inside the area,
08:41so that he can catch the ball.
08:42Jaradecki.
08:43I don't think that Leverkusen will be left behind
08:48and will want to keep this 1-0.
08:50That's how the German team plays, right?
08:52It's not their style.
08:54It's a team that tries to be the star with the ball.
08:57They modify the structures
08:59as they move towards the opposite field.
09:02They usually start with that line of three,
09:04the three central defenders to create.
09:06We see that it's Andrić who stays in the middle of the field
09:09and Miri gains height to get together with Virts
09:11in that higher inside double.
09:13And from here, constant mobility
09:15depending on where the ball and the opponent are.
09:17Bacher wanted to progress.
09:18He takes the ball.
09:19Bacher has scored three goals in the first minute
09:21this season in the Europa League.
09:23We're in the Champions League in Movistar
09:25and we're watching the second European competition.
09:27Bayer Leverkusen would be in the semi-finals
09:30after the 1-1 in the first leg.
09:32And this 0-1 in the second leg
09:34that takes place in Anderlecht's field.
09:36This legendary Constant van der Stock.
09:38The crowd...
09:43Kaldurs hadn't touched it yet.
09:46He's trying to progress.
09:48Union San Giluas.
09:50Bayer Leverkusen.
09:52Berthesen comes on.
09:54He's behind the ball.
09:56Kaldurs opens up to receive.
10:00Neukop is also very open.
10:02He has to play behind.
10:04And he does.
10:06Finally for Emoris.
10:08He was asked by Burges, the English player.
10:10Behané playing on his own field
10:13and finding it difficult to get to midfield.
10:16Gerrard's team has cut off well in defence.
10:19Ta tries to take it.
10:21Linen puts it in for Bonifaz.
10:24Looking for Berthesen.
10:26He comes out of Ta's area
10:28to prevent him from putting his leg up.
10:30Union San Giluas' player
10:32cuts the ball.
10:34Tapsova.
10:36The local team will be out of bounds.
10:38The first action in which
10:40they've tried to combine the two points.
10:42Bonifaz looking for Berthesen in midfield.
10:44Showing how aggressive they can be
10:46in the breaks.
10:48The Belgian player,
10:50former PSV player,
10:52given by the Dutch team.
10:54Inside, Union San Giluas
10:56after receiving a goal
10:58wants to have the ball.
11:00Almost nothing happened.
11:02He's trying to move the ball.
11:04Bonifaz manages to force
11:06a corner kick in the first half.
11:08The Nigerian is very dangerous
11:10inside the box.
11:12He has resources, not just physical strength.
11:14He has the ability to fight
11:16with the midfielders.
11:18It's a one-on-one.
11:20He has to go for the cross.
11:26Ta's ball.
11:28With his left leg.
11:30Looking for the ball in the small area.
11:32Rejected by Bayer Leverkusen's defence.
11:36If the game starts
11:38in the second half,
11:40Union San Giluas can make
11:42a dangerous transition.
11:44The ball is blocked.
11:48A corner kick.
11:50A quick counter-attack
11:52from the right wing
11:54of Frimpong, the Dutchman.
11:56This is what can happen.
11:58This can be the plot
12:00of the game,
12:02at least in the first half.
12:04Let's see how long Union San Giluas
12:06can hold out.
12:08But Leverkusen can
12:10face this.
12:12A quick transition.
12:14He manages to force a corner kick.
12:16We don't see Birch's pass,
12:18but it's wonderful to know
12:20Frimpong so well.
12:22He changes his rhythm so quickly.
12:24He could beat his opponent.
12:26Bayer Leverkusen is going for the corner kick.
12:28It looked like a strategy play.
12:30He touched the ball.
12:32He tries to cut it
12:34Leverkusen is there.
12:36He tries to run away.
12:38They don't let him pass.
12:40The German team
12:42get the ball back.
12:44The first minute of the game
12:46is coming.
12:52Frimpong is going for the ball.
12:54Union San Giluas
12:56is playing
12:58as a local
13:00in the Anderlecht pitch.
13:02It's the quarter-final
13:04of the Europa League.
13:06Bayer Leverkusen
13:08has lost the ball.
13:10He'll play for Manchida.
13:12Teuma is behind.
13:14The ball is for
13:16Moriz.
13:18He hits it with his left foot.
13:20He's looking for
13:22Bonifaz, Verdesen.
13:24He's cut it.
13:26Lucas Hradecky
13:28is playing.
13:32He comes
13:34to press
13:36Union San Giluas.
13:38He's forced
13:40to delay the ball
13:42by the men of Xabi Alonso
13:44for Hradecky.
13:46He doesn't press anyone.
13:48He can play for one of his midfielders.
13:52It's a soft touch.
13:54Ebirs is there.
13:56The German Florian Ebirs
13:58is recovering
14:00from his injury.
14:02It's almost 10 minutes into the first half.
14:04Bakker is playing.
14:06He's delaying the ball
14:08for Incapie.
14:10He's playing for Ecuador.
14:12Bayer Leverkusen
14:14is playing
14:16for Karel Graers.
14:18Tapsova is playing.
14:20He's looking for depth.
14:22The ball is in Moriz's hands.
14:24We can see that
14:26Andrij Konamiri
14:28is playing.
14:30Konamiri is
14:32taking the lead
14:34with Ebirs.
14:36He's looking for San Giluas' midfielders.
14:38Diaby is there.
14:40He's going for it.
14:42Berthesen is controlling the ball.
14:44The Belgian is there
14:46trying to protect the ball
14:48from Incapie.
14:50He can't control it well.
14:54Berthesen.
14:56He's lost the ball.
14:58It's possession for Bayer Leverkusen.
15:00Berthesen has to exploit
15:02his great virtue.
15:04He's looking for spaces
15:06for the men
15:08in the last defensive line.
15:10He has to force
15:12the whole structure of the German team.
15:14Lucas Hradecky
15:16is playing.
15:18Bayer Leverkusen
15:20is losing the ball again.
15:22The Belgian team is recovering.
15:24Robba.
15:26Ebirs.
15:28Buscaia.
15:30Diaby.
15:32San Giluas.
15:34In this game.
15:40He's seen a goal in the first minute.
15:42A mistake.
15:44He allowed
15:46a pass for Diaby.
15:48He hasn't forgiven.
15:50He's scored
15:52his third goal
15:54this season in the Europa League.
15:56This 23-year-old
15:58Parisian player, Moussa Diaby.
16:04He's experienced
16:06in Italy.
16:08He's played in Crotone
16:10and also in France.
16:12In Paris Saint-Germain's second team.
16:14He's playing fast now
16:16against Bayer Leverkusen.
16:18Diaby's goalkeeper
16:20Hlodzek.
16:22Losses for both teams.
16:24They seem nervous.
16:26Especially in the Belgian team.
16:28Andrig
16:30is playing.
16:32Bakker.
16:34Ebirs.
16:36Andrig
16:38is attacking Bayer Leverkusen.
16:40Yes, now with patience.
16:42We'll see how the team organizes.
16:44Andrig in the middle.
16:46And then
16:48Diaby's role
16:50inside the box
16:52to look for the balls
16:54next to Birtz and Miri
16:56is that Frimpong has the right lane.
16:58Empty the outside area
17:00to take advantage of the power
17:02of the Dutch side.
17:04We've seen that he's capable
17:06of being deep and constant
17:08with his shots.
17:10The ball will come out
17:12from the right side.
17:15That face of the Neukop team.
17:25Here we see Xabi Alonso.
17:28Surely he was surprised
17:30the other day.
17:32Both him and the team,
17:34the fans, for the result.
17:36It was already known
17:38that Karel Geraerts' team
17:40is not an easy rival.
17:42The tour this season
17:44in Europe has been extraordinary.
17:46But playing at home,
17:48almost everyone didn't think
17:50that at least,
17:52even if it was the minimum,
17:54Bayer would win the game.
17:56And they didn't.
17:58The tie came too late
18:00in the 82.
18:02Enough to equalize the match.
18:04Without the double value of the goals.
18:08Evidently that result
18:10was not enough
18:12for the German team.
18:14And we're facing
18:16this second attack
18:18that has started
18:20wonderfully for the German team.
18:22With representation
18:24of course here
18:26in the Konstant Bandenstock
18:28in Brussels.
18:30Florian Biers will take the corner.
18:32Close to the first quarter
18:34of this first half.
18:36Ball looking for the small area.
18:38Amiri for Frimpong.
18:40Frimpong hangs but doesn't lift the ball enough.
18:44The leather.
18:46Back to Ta.
18:48Open for Amiri.
18:50It's not done
18:52with absolute control.
18:54Geraerts' team scores.
18:56No, it's not really their style.
18:58And the shot is also important
19:00from this point of view.
19:02From the game plan.
19:04It's a team that prefers,
19:06as a superior coach,
19:08to give the initiative
19:10to the opponent's ball
19:12to press very well
19:14in the areas where it interests them the most
19:16and recover and get out.
19:18But now with that disadvantage
19:20there are doubts.
19:22He tries to take the ball to Bakker.
19:24Look how deep
19:26the left winger is.
19:28Frimpong is on the right.
19:30He has already had some arrival.
19:32He was trying to change speed
19:34and take the ball.
19:40He recovers.
19:42Tapsova's leather.
19:44He delays the ball for Lucas Hradecky.
19:48He will hit
19:50the Finnish player.
19:54He was asking
19:56for a change.
19:58He tries to close the passing lines
20:00with his pressure.
20:02The Belgian team is tense
20:04but sufficient.
20:06Look at that pass
20:08for Frimpong.
20:10Diaby's shot
20:12with the right.
20:14Diaby's second.
20:16The first was inside
20:18and the second could have been
20:20perfectly the 2-0.
20:22These passes between lines
20:24for Diaby are already doing damage.
20:26Yes, and Virts' receptions too.
20:28Because he's a player
20:30who can turn,
20:32see where the space is to progress
20:34and has the vision of the game
20:36to make those last passes.
20:38Diaby is also doing well.
20:40He's looking for
20:42the space
20:44between defenders.
20:46He has enough distance
20:48to start
20:50and have that advantage.
20:52Frimpong is going to make
20:54Bayer Leverkusen
20:56draw in the Bundesliga 0-0
20:58to beat
21:00Seraing
21:02at home 2-1.
21:06Both teams are looking
21:08to be in the Champions League
21:10in the case of Bayer Leverkusen.
21:12Next season they'll be in Europe
21:14and Union San Giluas
21:16will win the title
21:18with only two
21:20disadvantages compared to the leader, Geng.
21:24Ball for Incapie.
21:26Well, it feels like
21:28Bayer Leverkusen
21:30has managed to stop the
21:32Union San Giluas' reaction.
21:34You play at home, they score
21:36in the first minute,
21:38it's normal that you want
21:40to eat the opponent.
21:42It feels like
21:44Xabi Alonso's team
21:46is leading again.
21:48Virts is wrong,
21:50but Leverkusen is very comfortable
21:52in the game.
21:54Leverkusen is playing
21:56what the German team wants,
21:58not only because of the goal,
22:00but also the feeling of domination,
22:02of knowing how to progress from behind.
22:04They are not losing balls
22:06in that starting phase
22:08in their own field
22:10and they can almost always
22:12connect with Virts,
22:14with Diaby,
22:16who, look, goes inside
22:18to have three elements here.
22:20Diaby, Virts and Amiri.
22:22Leverkusen has the advantage,
22:24has managed to steal the ball
22:26from the Union San Giluas.
22:28In that sense, it's a fast team
22:30with speed, Bonifaz
22:32who tries to face it,
22:34Tapsova, Bonifaz.
22:36The ball goes forward
22:38and he ends up giving it to Virts.
22:40Now the immediate reply
22:42by Bayer Leverkusen.
22:44A lot of losses
22:46between the two teams
22:48in 18 minutes,
22:50Mateu Laocet,
22:52we've known him for many years.
22:54He can get desperate
22:56because if he doesn't see
22:58a very clear foul,
23:00he'll let the game play a lot.
23:02Here he has finally avoided a foul.
23:04It seems that,
23:06as it's his style,
23:08he's going to talk to...
23:10I think he's going to take it off.
23:12I thought he had avoided
23:14that foul by Teuma
23:16and that he even wanted to
23:18calm him down, but no.
23:20There's a contact, yes, but...
23:22I think it's...
23:24Both players
23:26end up touching
23:28almost unintentionally
23:30because they were both
23:32going for the rebound.
23:34The Union San Giluas
23:36getting close to 20 in this first period.
23:38This 0-1 remains
23:40almost initial, because Diaby scored
23:42in the first.
23:44The young Musa Diaby.
23:46Teuma.
23:48Teuma is asking
23:50Nieuwkoop
23:52for the centre
23:54towards the penalty spot.
23:56Tapsoba's rejection.
23:58Ebers tries to get out.
24:00Bayer Leverkusen
24:02can do a lot of damage again.
24:04Frimpong stops.
24:06The ball is delayed.
24:08Lucas Hradecky's
24:10side-kick.
24:12The Finnish goalkeeper.
24:14There's space in midfield
24:16for Bayer Leverkusen
24:18to move the ball.
24:20He's already in 59% possession.
24:22Andrik.
24:24Andrik touching for Frimpong.
24:26This one for Miri.
24:28Look at them
24:30giving the ball
24:32without much opposition.
24:34Getting close to the front of the box.
24:36Yes, and it's a 3-2
24:38in that first period.
24:40Bonifaz and Vertes against the three central defenders.
24:42If Leverkusen moves the ball fast
24:44and Hradecky collaborates as before,
24:46he always finds a free man
24:48who can even drive.
24:50It's been seen in a couple of these.
24:52Andrik was about to lose the ball.
24:54It was a very risky ball
24:56from the German footballer.
24:58There's space for Tapsoba
25:00in front of Teuma's eyes.
25:02He gets close to the front.
25:04He plays for Frimpong.
25:06Diaby's request.
25:08Corrado to the right.
25:10Frimpong almost from the inside.
25:12He touches.
25:14Incapien for Bakker.
25:16They're all very high up.
25:18Xabi Alonso's players.
25:20Bakker's cross.
25:22What a cross.
25:24Bakker's cross was great.
25:26With that tension.
25:28He did it by surprise.
25:30Yes, yes, yes.
25:32It was a brilliant move.
25:34It looked like he was playing backwards.
25:36It's a tense ball.
25:38It's a tense ball.
25:40It's a tense ball.
25:42It's a tense ball.
25:44It's a tense ball.
25:46It's a tense ball.
25:48It's a tense ball.
25:50It's a tense ball.
25:52It's a tense ball.
25:54It's a tense ball.
25:56It's a tense ball.
25:58It's a tense ball.
26:00It's a tense ball.
26:02It's a tense ball.
26:04It's a tense ball.
26:06It's a tense ball.
26:08It's a tense ball.
26:10It's a tense ball.
26:12It's a tense ball.
26:14It's a tense ball.
26:16It's a tense ball.
26:18It's a tense ball.
26:20It's a tense ball.
26:22It's a tense ball.
26:24It's a tense ball.
26:26It's a tense ball.
26:28It's a tense ball.
26:30It's a tense ball.
26:32It's a tense ball.
26:34It's a tense ball.
26:36It's a tense ball.
26:38It's a tense ball.
26:40It's a tense ball.
26:42It's a tense ball.
26:44It's a tense ball.
26:46It's a tense ball.
26:48It's a tense ball.
26:50It's a tense ball.
26:52It's a tense ball.
26:54It's a tense ball.
26:56It's a tense ball.
26:58It's a tense ball.
27:00It's a tense ball.
27:02He tries to get the ball out.
27:04Diaby's goal.
27:06Diaby.
27:08Bayer Leverkusen are playing with fire in these situations.
27:10They're relatively comfortable to get the ball out.
27:12On the other hand,
27:14Xabi Alonso's team
27:16has had some losses.
27:18Xabi Alonso's team
27:20will now get the ball back.
27:24We haven't seen the goalkeeper's play from above.
27:26We've seen it
27:28in a short shot from below.
27:30But on a more general level,
27:32we haven't been able to see
27:36whether or not he touched the goal line.
27:38That's what I think
27:40Xabi Alonso said to Mateu Laoza.
27:42Old acquaintances.
27:44We're now in the first half of Ecuador.
27:46Diaby scored the first goal.
27:48Bayer Leverkusen would be in the semi-finals.
27:50They won the UEFA competition
27:52in 1988.
27:54Real Club Deportivo Español
27:56in that double confrontation
27:58in the penalties.
28:00After a 3-0
28:02from Perico's team
28:04in the old Sarriá,
28:06the Germans were able
28:08to equalize
28:10in the final
28:12and then win
28:14the UEFA Cup
28:16in the penalty shootout.
28:18Yes, in 1988.
28:20It was very hard for Espanyol
28:22because in the second half
28:24they held on until the second half.
28:26But in the second half
28:28Leverkusen scored the three goals
28:30and then won the penalty shootout.
28:32Frimpong is trying
28:34not to lose the ball.
28:36The Dutchman
28:38plays for Andrij.
28:40Andrij for Frimpong.
28:42He was offside.
28:44Mateu Laoza
28:46scores.
28:48Well, so far
28:50no chance for Union San Giluas.
28:52They've tried to react
28:54to Diaby's early goal.
28:56A shot, a corner kick,
28:58but so far
29:00no problems for Lukas Hradecky.
29:02He's had one
29:04in Bayer Leverkusen.
29:06Diaby's own
29:08in the 16th minute.
29:12Ebaker shoots.
29:14Linen plays.
29:16The game is concentrated
29:18in midfield.
29:20Another loss.
29:22Ebaker
29:24doesn't play.
29:26Ebirs for Ebaker.
29:28Andrij has no chance.
29:30He was trying to control
29:32the ball.
29:34Kandus recovers it.
29:38Leverkusen
29:40is trying to be aggressive
29:42in midfield
29:44to prevent
29:46Union San Giluas
29:48from working too much.
29:50It's the first time
29:52that Bonifaz,
29:54his best man,
29:56has been disabled.
29:58Even though he tried to
30:00penetrate the area.
30:02He hasn't finished the shot.
30:04Burgess
30:06plays.
30:12He recovers the ball
30:14in midfield
30:16with Manchida on the left
30:18Mori's shot.
30:24Bayer Leverkusen
30:26gets the ball.
30:28Belga's defence
30:30is good.
30:32Teuma
30:34for Mori.
30:42Karel Geraerts' team
30:44is back in midfield.
30:46Teuma is the main
30:48player of the team.
30:50He has more clarity
30:52with the ball.
30:54He's on the right side
30:56because he's closing well
30:58with a lot of players.
31:00Bayer knows
31:02he can't stay behind.
31:04He's being aggressive
31:06in midfield.
31:08He's blocked
31:10for a corner kick
31:12by Alonso.
31:16Bayer are still
31:18looking for the Union San Giluas.
31:20Despite the 0-1
31:22early in the first minute.
31:24They need a second goal
31:26to calm down.
31:30Florian Birs
31:32again.
31:34He's in charge of the corner.
31:42He's lifting
31:44the right arm.
31:46The ball is inside the box.
31:48He's trying to finish off
31:50the Ecuadorian.
31:52The ball
31:54goes to Leverkusen
31:56in the centre of the box.
31:58Miri
32:02for Kandus.
32:04Kandus for Burgess.
32:06Teuma comes.
32:08When he sees
32:10there's a bit of a transition
32:12from Birs to Teuma
32:14he wants to
32:16get to the Union San Giluas.
32:18He's setting up
32:20two or three men
32:22who have the ball
32:24and he quickly
32:26deactivates the transition.
32:28Bayer Leverkusen from the Belgians.
32:30They can't do it.
32:32Niop Kopp is going to get in.
32:34He's showing too much of the ball.
32:36He loses it.
32:38It was very complicated.
32:40It's not common
32:42to see him in these
32:44interiors.
32:46With Leverkusen's midfielders
32:48and the chase
32:50from Baker
32:52they've been able to stop him well.
32:58It's a ball for the German team.
33:06A long pass to the centre of the box.
33:08Kandus.
33:14There's an advantage for ETA.
33:16It's gone to the ground.
33:18Berthesen asks for the penalty.
33:20It's a ball for Baker.
33:24He's trying to get it out
33:26as well as he can.
33:28Leverkusen has problems
33:30and Union San Giluas
33:32takes advantage of that
33:34to get the ball to Linen.
33:36Linen's opening for Niop Kopp.
33:38He wanted to get to Niop Kopp
33:40but he lost the ball.
33:42There's been a lot of losses
33:44in the last 30 minutes
33:46of the first half.
33:48Baker is trying to
33:50get away from the marks.
33:54Ed Burgess
33:56has a header.
33:58Will Leverkusen get it out?
34:06Here we see
34:10Berthesen asking
34:12for the penalty.
34:14There's nothing.
34:16It's not enough.
34:18Incapié's cross.
34:24If Leverkusen is patient
34:26he can find
34:28a way out.
34:30Teuma is a bit more aggressive
34:32and Berthesen can't continue.
34:34At the moment
34:36he's sitting down
34:38and there's the Belgian
34:40striker.
34:42Problems.
34:44Problems that
34:46mean change.
34:50Look at where he touches.
34:58It was in the clash,
35:00wasn't it?
35:02Yes.
35:06It looks like a muscle injury.
35:08Yes.
35:12This first change
35:14will have to be made
35:16by Karel Geraerts.
35:18Berthesen is injured.
35:20Simon Adingra
35:22is a Marseille player.
35:24We see
35:26the action of the goal
35:28with the good pressure
35:30and the good cross
35:32from Diaby.
35:34Good quality to adjust
35:36with the left.
35:38Adingra is from Marseille
35:40and in LaLiga
35:42with a very good season
35:44with 10 goals
35:46and 8 assists.
35:48He was out of angle.
35:50Yes, it wasn't easy
35:52to adjust.
35:54He had good precision
35:56to send the ball
35:58and Berthesen
36:00injured in the 31st minute.
36:02Adingra is a player
36:04from Brighton.
36:06You know they share
36:08the owner, Tony Bloom.
36:10He's a multimillionaire
36:12who made a fortune
36:14playing poker.
36:16He's the owner of Brighton
36:18and also of this Saint-Gillois
36:20that returned to first
36:22after 48 years.
36:24Despite being a traditional
36:26World Cup player,
36:28he spent 5 decades
36:30in the Catacombs
36:32until last season.
36:34It seems that with Tony Bloom
36:36he can consolidate
36:38in the elite of Belgian football.
36:40Simon Adingra has joined
36:42the 21-year-old
36:44Marseille player
36:46to replace Berthesen
36:48who had to leave
36:50with muscle problems.
36:52He was out of angle
36:54with a low pace.
36:56Bayer Leverkusen
36:58is doing well.
37:00They're still trying
37:02to get stronger
37:04in this area.
37:06The first line of pressure
37:08is a bit behind.
37:10In midfield
37:12there's not enough
37:14elaboration.
37:16Xabi Alonso's team
37:18can't reach
37:20Karel Geraerts.
37:22Xabi Alonso
37:24has been able to catch
37:26Jaradecki's ball.
37:28We haven't seen
37:30a ball to the area
37:32for the Belgians
37:34who have managed to pass
37:36this midfield area
37:38where there are so many footballers.
37:40Adingra has just
37:42entered the pitch.
37:44He was looking for
37:46Incapie's back
37:48and Pusen's previous move
37:50when he was right-footed
37:52playing in the left lane.
37:54He usually tries to cut
37:56inwards and then
37:58pass the ball to the goal.
38:00Compared to the other day
38:02there's a big difference.
38:04Leverkusen keeps
38:06Jaradecki's goal
38:08quite far away
38:10from Union San Giluas.
38:12He forces these long passes
38:14which are obviously
38:16more difficult
38:18for the goalkeeper.
38:20Is there a foul?
38:22I don't know if it's a foul
38:24but it will allow
38:26the assists to come in.
38:28I think what you're saying
38:30is very interesting.
38:32My perception is that
38:34Leverkusen's three midfielders
38:36defend better out of the area
38:38than inside.
38:40Keeping the line high
38:42forces the opponent
38:44to look for long or deep passes.
38:46But inside the area
38:48they're not specialists
38:50in marking the man
38:52when he's very close to his goalkeeper.
38:54That's basically what happened
38:56in most of the first half.
38:58The Belgian team
39:00had many minutes
39:02close to Jaradecki's goal
39:04with positional attacks.
39:08He's limping.
39:10Let's see if he can keep going.
39:12It would be the second injury
39:14in five minutes.
39:16Berthesen was injured in the 31st minute
39:18and now there are problems
39:20for Njopkov.
39:22They're trying
39:24to make it a bone injury.
39:26You always wonder
39:28if it's a bone injury or a muscle injury
39:30but it looks like he can
39:32keep going.
39:34The Belgian team
39:36has the ball in the air.
39:38Bayer Leverkusen.
39:40We're in the last 10 minutes
39:42of the first half.
39:44Bayer Leverkusen is winning
39:46against Union San Giluas.
39:480-1.
39:501-1 in the first half.
39:52Semis.
39:54Bayer Leverkusen.
39:56UEFA Champion in 1988.
39:58They don't have
40:00any other European titles,
40:02right?
40:04No.
40:06Leverkusen only has
40:08one European Cup.
40:10He was the finalist
40:12of the 2002 Champions League final
40:14against Real Madrid
40:16in Glasgow.
40:18Zidane's goal.
40:201-0.
40:22But at that time,
40:24at the beginning
40:26of the century,
40:28Leverkusen was competing
40:30to win the Bundesliga.
40:32He only had to tie
40:34in the Modesto Unterhaching.
40:36A town near Munich.
40:38And it was 2-0.
40:40Michael Ballack's team
40:42lost the cup finals,
40:44lost the Champions League final.
40:46That's why
40:48they knew him as Leverkusen.
40:50Instead of Leverkusen.
40:52A bit of bad luck, right?
40:54Not having won any Bundesliga, right?
40:56No Bundesliga.
40:58Only that cup.
41:00Watch out for David's counterattack.
41:02He puts it on the right side.
41:04It's good for Zlozek.
41:06Goal!
41:08Goal!
41:10Goal!
41:12Goal by Bakker.
41:14He scores the second.
41:16A counterattack by Libro.
41:18Bakker with his left foot
41:20sends the ball to the back of the net.
41:22Three men were attacking.
41:24The ball moved from one side to the other
41:26so that the Dutchman,
41:28the left-back,
41:30would end up scoring the second.
41:32I don't know what Mateu Laozamoriz
41:34or Marka Bakker
41:36but Bayer Leverkusen
41:38beat Union San Giluas 0-2.
41:40It's a magnificent offensive play
41:42thanks to the combination of all the players
41:44who have participated in it.
41:46Here we'll see it.
41:48It's won by Diaby.
41:50It's a very good wall with Wirtz.
41:52He holds on to the clash with the opponent.
41:54Then, after setting up,
41:56Zlozek opens to the right.
41:58Zlozek is already very aware
42:00of how the action should progress.
42:02He was absolutely alone
42:04at the second post.
42:06He sets up the inside very well.
42:08Here we'll see it, the Dutchman
42:10to score the second goal
42:12of a Leverkusen
42:14who is hitting hard today.
42:20Well, there's the joy of Xabi Alonso.
42:240-2.
42:26Bayer Leverkusen is on the ground.
42:28We sensed
42:30when we closed the broadcast
42:32in the first leg
42:34that this match could be very different
42:36from the one in the first leg.
42:38This match could be very different
42:40from the one in the first leg.
42:42And in the end,
42:44it turns out that it is.
42:46Because of Leverkusen's early goal,
42:48I don't dare to say the weight
42:50of the responsibility for the Belgians,
42:52but I think that the goal
42:54by Bayer Leverkusen
42:56is much better.
42:58It's very good.
43:00Today's match is very good.
43:02And the movement of putting
43:04Virts and Diaby together
43:06is clearly a winner
43:08by Xabi Alonso.
43:10Diaby is an extreme,
43:12but Xabi Alonso has clearly seen
43:14that participating from the inside
43:16with that agility,
43:18not only from the legs,
43:20but also mentally,
43:22if you put them together with Virts,
43:24the ball for Burgess.
43:28We enter the last five minutes
43:30of this first half.
43:32Diaby scored in the first half.
43:34Backer did it in the 37th minute.
43:36When Niel was winning
43:38the second goal,
43:40we were talking about Leverkusen's
43:42Palmares.
43:44Do you remember the 1988 UEFA Cup
43:46and that 93rd German Cup
43:48that Leverkusen played
43:50against Hertha's subsidiary?
43:52Then, years later,
43:54nine years later,
43:56Leverkusen's captain
43:58in the 2002 Champions League final
44:00against Real Madrid.
44:02We saw that Carsten Ramelow,
44:04who played for Hertha's subsidiary,
44:06was a potential player.
44:08Leverkusen came and was an institution,
44:10even captain in the UEFA Cup final
44:12against Madrid.
44:16Xabi Alonso is putting
44:18Bayer Leverkusen
44:20in the Europa League semi-finals.
44:22He's a player who has
44:24won everything.
44:26I think that together with Xabi
44:28we can count on him
44:30with the fingers of one hand.
44:32Maybe we need one more hand,
44:34but not more than two.
44:36Players who have won everything
44:38as football professionals.
44:40When I say everything,
44:42I mean all the competitions
44:44in your country
44:46and then
44:48the club's international competitions
44:50and then also
44:52the international competitions
44:54with the national team,
44:56especially in the case of the European teams,
44:58the Europa League and the World Cup.
45:00As Xabi Alonso said,
45:02Xabi Hernández,
45:04Iniesta, Busquets,
45:06Iker Casillas,
45:08Sergio Ramos,
45:10Víctor Valdés
45:12and few others.
45:14It's complicated to win
45:16the Europa League and the World Cup.
45:18It's even more complicated
45:20to win the Europa League and the World Cup.
45:22It's very complicated to win
45:24the Europa League and the World Cup.
45:26They have to be players
45:28who have played in Barça and Madrid,
45:30which are the two Spanish teams
45:32that have won the Champions League.
45:34It's normal that others
45:36can't play in that league.
45:38Watch out for the shot.
45:40It's the only chance
45:42in the first half
45:44In the 70s, it also happened
45:46with Bayern's Germans,
45:48who won the Europa League in 72,
45:50the World Cup in 74,
45:52three Bundesliga games in a row,
45:54four Copas de Alemania
45:56and the three Copas de Europa in a row
45:58in 74 and 76.
46:00We're talking about very special generations
46:02and great winners.
46:04Xabi Alonso,
46:06Xabi Alonso,
46:08who can debut as a coach.
46:10At the beginning,
46:12he played in the final of the Europa League
46:14and it seems that he can be
46:16right now,
46:18he looks like he can be
46:20a semi-finalist,
46:22but we still have the second half.
46:24Let's see what the Belgian team is capable of.
46:26If he gets back into the game
46:28or even Bayern's Leverkusen
46:30ends up breaking it even more
46:32with a third goal.
46:34The best thing
46:36about Xabi Alonso's team
46:38is what we're seeing now.
46:40He's still pressing,
46:42he's still insisting.
46:48The ball is being cut
46:50by Tapsoba.
47:00Ball in the middle of the field.
47:02Andrih plays.
47:04Bakker has scored in the 37.
47:06Xabi did that in the 1.
47:08We're two minutes away from the 45.
47:10A very calm first half.
47:12And it continues
47:14for Mateu Laos.
47:16And a Bayern Leverkusen
47:18that has never
47:20lost control of the game.
47:22That first goal
47:24was good for his meeting plan.
47:26What a ball
47:28from Bakker
47:30in the area.
47:32The goalkeeper, Maurice,
47:34catches it without problems.
47:38Right now,
47:40it's 46-54.
47:44A favourable position
47:46for Bayern Leverkusen.
47:48Even though it seems pretty even,
47:50I think the Union San Giluas
47:52has touched the ball a lot
47:54in their own field.
47:56Yes, it's hard for them to get out
47:58with that action.
48:00Bakker is a very strong player.
48:02He hardly lets
48:04Mani turn.
48:06But that's what it is.
48:08Leverkusen's possession
48:10is very forceful.
48:12It's a very well-worked possession
48:14with very clear ideas.
48:16And the San Giluas'
48:18is a bit tricky.
48:20It's harder for him to get out from behind.
48:22When he gets to the other side,
48:24the lights go out.
48:26Almost everything ends in midfield.
48:28But also without being too elaborate.
48:32The cross is on the side.
48:34I don't know if he's going to score.
48:36I think he's going to.
48:38Well, Berthe Sen's injury
48:40hasn't stopped him.
48:42And the two goals.
48:441'12".
48:46Mateu Laoz could have scored.
48:48There was a foul.
48:54Mateu Laoz
48:56asking for a bit of calm.
48:58Let's see what happened.
49:04Uff.
49:06It went too high.
49:08But...
49:10You can't re-arbitrate this.
49:12This would be a minimum yellow.
49:14It could be a perfect red.
49:16Yes.
49:18It's a flat on the knee.
49:20But it's not.
49:22It's a foul.
49:24Mateu Laoz adds two.
49:260'2". Piavi and Packer.
49:28To put Leverkusen in the semi-final
49:30of this Europa League
49:322022-2023.
49:38Here we see Xabi Alonso
49:40winning the Europa League
49:42in the Champions League.
49:44Exactly.
49:46It's very difficult to win it.
49:48If you get to the semi-final,
49:50you're closer, but it's still very difficult.
49:52Yes, there are still big teams left.
49:54We'll see what happens.
49:56Neither Manchester United nor Juventus
49:58have it clear.
50:00It's a pity for the international hierarchy.
50:02Even though United
50:04are up against Sevilla,
50:06the king of the competition.
50:08Good opening for Packer.
50:10Packer gets in.
50:12Packer! Incredible!
50:14Now the one who lost the ball
50:16inside was Miri.
50:18But what a fantastic action
50:20by Packer.
50:22He's caught up with Frimpong.
50:24The game has started a bit deeper.
50:26But now it's the Dutchman
50:28Yes, yes.
50:30It's a very complete game for Packer.
50:32He's not suffering without the ball.
50:34He's coming with power
50:36to help in his own area.
50:38And as you said,
50:40it's an offensive phase with the ball.
50:42It's very deep.
50:44He's coming to the back line,
50:46centering, recovering, even on the opposite side.
50:48A great game for the Dutchman.
50:50It's Piers' turn.
50:5220 seconds left.
50:54The ball for Leverkusen.
50:56What a delay.
50:58Packer doesn't want to complicate things.
51:00He puts it back.
51:0210 seconds left for the end
51:04of this first half.
51:06Mateo Laoz.
51:08Silvato in the mouth.
51:10For Ferraria.
51:12This first period,
51:14a very good play by Bayer Leverkusen.
51:16And above all,
51:18the game was conditioned
51:20by that early goal.
51:22It went well for his game plan
51:24and for Xabi Alonso's team
51:26and Karel Graers' team.
51:28Very superior.
51:30The first one was the ball
51:32with that numerical superiority,
51:34with the three central defenders
51:36and the goalkeeper Jradecki
51:38against the two San GiluĂ  points.
51:40And then the ability to filter
51:42and find inside,
51:44Abilds and Diaby above all,
51:46who are with Amiri
51:48looking for the back
51:50of the San GiluĂ  midfielders.
51:52Xabi Alonso's team
51:54is signing a very complete game
51:56at the moment.
51:58Bayer Leverkusen
52:00is getting into the Europa League
52:02semi-finals.
52:04We have a second part,
52:06surely exciting.
52:08We are at the Champions League
52:10in Movistar.
52:12We'll take a break and be right back.
