>>The game was a desperately dull affair, with neither side prepared to risk throwing many men forward.<< >>The second half was even more sterile with neither keeper tested and neither side prepared to gamble anything. Penalties had seemed inevitable long before the end of the 120 minutes.<< Hello, boy, did you WATCH the game before writing this? Or did you simply assume that since there was a goalless draw, there must have been no excitement? Boss, it's been a while since I last saw such a fast game with both sides controlling and snatching the ball so well with hard but neat tackles. It was a goalless draw because both sides were equally placed with strong defences. Grow up! Learn the game.
