    7th minute: Maxi Rodriguez dribbles it down the right with Grygera trying to keep up. He crosses it but that's been headed out by Mexes. Still in the air, it's Vucinic to Maxi Rodriguez back to Vucinic and back again to Rodriguez. Finally, the ball goes to ground as it is headed to Felipe Melo in the centre. A pass to the feet of Higuain! HE'S FREE OF JUAN! GOOOAL! Low, hard shot to the left corner by Higuain. Redwood Phoenix take an early lead.

    Mexes says he was offside. Looked a bit marginal to me, but the score will stand at 1-0.

    Wooo!

    11th minute: The French forward combination of Karma City is looking dangerous. A good through ball from Thierry Henry to David Trezeguet. Valdes is forced to push it away from the goal. Corner kick.
     
  6. Escath LE Schaw

    23rd minute: Eric Abidal is forced to concede a corner. Kolarov takes it from the left. That's been headed away by Yaya Toure. Higuain has it though and he's given a through ball to Kolarov. Low cross! VUCINIC WITH THE HEADER! GOOOOOAL! Quick movement by Mirko Vucinic to free himself from Juan and take that excellent cross by Kolarov.

    26th minute: Sergio Ramos is caught pulling on the shirt of Henry. Yellow card.
     
  8. Escath LE Schaw

    30th minute: Trezeguet challenges Thiago Silva. He looks in pain, but play on says the ref.

    He looks hurt, but will continue playing.
     
  9. Escath LE Schaw

    31st minute: Fabregas to Abidal on the right. He centres it to Ronaldinho. WHAT A VOLLEY! WHAT A GOAL! From about 35 yards out, Ronaldinho pulls off an amazing volley that leaves the Redwood Phoenix defence gobsmacked. It's now 1-2 to Redwood Phoenix.
     
  10. Escath LE Schaw

    41st minute: It's the French striking combo at work again. Henry with a good ball between two defenders to Trezeguet. He runs in but Valdes is coming out to take it. Trezeguet can't shoot but Valdes hasn't secured it either! HENRY! DISASTER FOR VICTOR VALDES! That goal has made it 2-all. Vucinic tries to argue that Trezeguet was offside, but that was definitely a bad move by Valdes.

    44th minute: Karma City have the free kick just inside the Redwood Phoenix half. It's played back slowly to Juan. He holds it up for a moment before passing it forward to Fabregas. He's spotted Sergio Ramos giving Ronaldinho some space on the left, just outside the penalty area. And Ronaldinho controls it AND SHOOTS! POWERFUL FINISH! You give him any space at all and Ronaldinho will punish you. That's his second goal from out of nowhere this game. It's 3-2 to Karma City.

    Shhiiiiiit

    49th minute: Higuain takes the ball on the left wing and centres it for Villa. Juan beats him to the header but it's still dangerous. Mexes looks to have got it... what was that? Felipe Melo slides to take Mexes from behind. Surely he did not think he could get away with that? The ref doesn't like it and he's being called over. RED CARD! David Villa is trying to protest but even he must know that was a stupid tackle.

    **** this
     
  17. Escath LE Schaw

    52nd minute: Ronaldinho with the corner kick on the left. It swings in and Diarra gets to it just before van Persie could. Still dangerous though! JUAN ON THE REBOUND! GOAL! Valdes is furious at his defence. That makes it 4-2 to Karma City.
     
  18. Gazza GJ Weaver

    Oh noes
     
  19. Escath LE Schaw

    62nd minute: Mexes backs into Higuain. Yellow card, says the ref.

    Gazza's not having a good time of it.
