    • 70' Juninho thumps a left foot shot off the post after cutting inside Thomson!!

    • 41' Glorious ball by Kallstrom for the onrushing Fabio Grosso on the left, he lashes it across foal, but it's too fiercely struck for anyone to get onto the end of it.
    • 34' Reveillere lays it back infield to Kallstrom who has another pot-shot from distance, but it's well wide.
    • 32' McGregor is forced to scamper across his goal to parry away a Juninho free-kick from the left, and Benzema can do nothing with the rebound.
