Time Commentary
35:00 Half time.
34:15 Goal
Fabregas scores ESP second goal on a fast break down the left, catching PAK out of position and too high. Fabregas picked up a clever pass in behind the PAK defence, ran into the circle dragging around the sliding Akbar and then finished with a hard shot into the net. ESP 2-0 just before half time.
32:37 Very tight defence from ESP and PAK at the present. Both teams are attacking the other and being denied shots at goal by superb tackling.
28:51 No change to the status quo of most of the half. Both teams fighting very hard to gain an ascendancy in their midfield, and both rarely entering their circle. Long periods of either team passing the ball around their defence before making a long, and often unsuccessful pass into attack.
23:15 ESP have pushed the PAK drive back and its their turn now to hold the ball in their attacking half. A very even game so far with one piece of ESP attacking brilliance that is separating these teams.
21:28 PAK on a roll in their midfield with numerous moves forward. These are being stipped by ESP at the last minute, or by a misdirected last pass from PAK.
19:01 A faster game now as both teams start to attack the other at each end. PAK entering their circle now a little more freely than before which is a good sign for their fans.
16:44 The Ribas drag flick just clears the crossbar. That was a very fast shot at goal. PAK win the ball.
16:01 ESP earn another corner, their second. Danger here for PAK.
14:53 The Ribas flick is well saved by Akbar. PAK win a free hit and immediately counterattack with speed down the other end. Its on these counterattacks that the pace of the game increases significantly.
13:48 ESP with the majority of the ball possession in the last 5 mins. ESP work the ball around the back, and then attack down the left. They earn their 1st corner for the game from a PAK lifted ball in the circle.
09:33 The game continues to be a slow pace affair with the midfields falling back to not allow any space. Long balls or overheads are being used to attack which is just surrendering possession to the other team.
05:28 Goal
Tubau scores for ESP with a fast break up the middle of the field by Amat. He found Tubau leading in behind the PAK deep defence. Tubau ran into the circle and then backsticked the goal past the sliding Akbar (PAK GK). ESP 1-0.
04:40 No change to the game with the pace of the game only increased when there is a sudden turnover. The large pro PAK crowd are significant confidence lifters for their team. ESP will need to combat this and match their passion.
01:38 The game is underway. A slow pace to start with both teams falling back to a half court press early, and so each defence has had a turn with the ball.
00:00 The game of the tournament so far. The winner the one likely to progress to the semi-finals next week. A sellout crowd is here, and 100`s outside the venue trying to get in.
come on guys ..You can do it ![]()
Hope they manage a draw atleast and make this night memorable.
If pakistan draws with spain do they have a chance for gettin in semis?
If Pakistan lose then there is no hope at all?
Spain scored their third goal. 25 minutes left. I think it is all over.
Sherry, they will have to rely on other results besides beating Great Britain.
Allah mian please… lets pray for miracles…

Spain Blossomed at the right right time...first GBR 5-1...now mulling Pakistan 3-0...
43:26 ESP have another corner, their 4th. The drag flick is deflected wide by PAK and ESP regain the ball.
40:51 Goal
Tubau again stuns the PAK crowd with a great reverse stick trap in the circle behind the PAK defence from a long pass from A Fabregas. His drag around the PAK keeper was superb and he scores his 3rd goal. ESP 3-0.
40:36 PAK with a good opportuity in attack as they get in beind the ESP dfeence. The difference between the two teams at present is ESP ability to convert these promising opportunities into goal shots. PAK have not yet done so this half.
37:05 The variation left to Freixa is drag flicked wide right. PAK regain possession of the ball and they work the ball around their defence as they try to move forward.
36:14 The second half is underway, and ESP earn an early corner from a PAK foot. ESP corner number 3.
35:00 Half time. PAK walk from the field a little stunned at how they are 2-0 down after such a close contest. ESP finishing has been a growing concern for all their opponents, and tonight we see why. An even and often slow paced game that had patches of fast attacks on the turnover. Expect more of the same in the second half, although PAK will not half long before they need to score. PC count: ESP 2 PAK 0.
Pakistanis are definately panicked out there. sighs

I have turned it off. Not feeling good.
51:33 PAK are denied a goal at the very last inch when Butt was able to dive and choot from very close. His shot was not hit hard and rolled to the goal-line, before it was saved by the diving Herrera (ESP GK).
47:35 PAK starting to work the ball forward and are looking more positive. ESP defence still rock solid and are effectively constricting the famous PAK flowing game.
same here :(
