01x03 - Against All Odds

[bunniefuu]

[intense music playing]

[commentator] A night of World Cup

football that is very likely

to produce high drama

as all four teams in Group E

go in search of the result which would

take them through to the Round of 16.

Hopefuls Japan,

group leaders Spain lie in wait.

While in the Al Bayt Stadium,

Costa Rica play Germany

in the other Group E match.

All sorts of scenarios

could affect the outcome

- on who goes forward to the last 16.

- [whistle blows]

[commentator] Japan nil, Spain 1

at the start of this second period.

[crowd cheering]

[commentator] Well, they're going

to have to be bold here, Japan.

- Here come Japan! Oh, yes!

- [crowd roaring]

What an impact for Ritsu!

A few Japanese fans,

I don't think can believe it.

Luis Enrique wasn't expecting that.

[Spanish commentator] Japan are coming.

The ball goes to Dōan inside the area!

[commentator 1 in English]

Oh, it's in! Remarkable!

[in Spanish] I'm not sure if it went

across the line. The referee whistles.

[commentator 1 in English] VAR checking.

Was the ball out of play

leading up to the goal?

It is very, very close.

Spain sweat. Japan must wait.

They're looking. They're looking.

[commentator 2] Forensic scrutiny,

isn't it?

[commentator 3] To crank it up a little,

Japan have had the ball in the net again.

We're still waiting to see

whether that goal will be allowed.

VAR check in progress.

[commentator 1] The whole of the ball

has to be over the whole of the line.

Hands in prayer.

At the moment they don't know

[blows whistle]

- They do now!

- [crowd roaring]

[Spanish commentator] The story changes.

Disaster for the Spanish national team.

[commentator 1 in English]

VAR has proved its worth.

How about it, Japan, on top in Group E.

[commentator 2] Extraordinary

World Cup for Japan,

ahead against

the 2010 world champions Spain.

[commentator 3] Waston a threat here,

and he's up really well!

[German commentator] No!

Neuer is out and the ball is in the net.

[commentator 3 in English]

The impossible is happening here!

This group is upside down!

Germany on the brink of elimination,

Spain on the brink of elimination!

The story of the tournament

is being written here!

Wow.

To confirm, Japan and Costa Rica

are going through

from a group

that contains Spain and Germany.

[commentator 1] I don't believe this now.

Juan Pablo Vargas has given Costa Rica

a 2-1 lead against Germany.

Spain with the work to do here,

and if it stays this way,

I can't recall

a more momentous evening

in World Cup history.

[crowd cheering]

[commentator 3] And an opportunity

Taken! By Havertz!

- [crowd roaring]

- And the picture changes.

[commentator 2] Well, it's a goal that

will bring considerable Spanish relief.

[commentator 3] Gnabry, with a teaser

It's a great ball!

- [crowd roaring]

- And finished off by Kai Havertz!

They need a Spanish goal now!

[commentator 2] Well, Hansi Flick

has to hope that it isn't all for nothing.

[commentator 1] Germany's progression

to the last 16 is hanging by a thread.

- They need Spain to score.

- Come on!

Asensio

Difficult for Gonda!

Great challenge from Yoshida!

The captain with a perfect interception.

- [referee blows whistle]

- Japan win Group E.

[crowd roaring]

Amazing scenes here.

Spain progress as runners-up.

[commentator 3] Germany fall at the first

hurdle, despite winning.

[German commentator]

Germany are eliminated.

[commentator 1 in English] It's truly

[in Japanese] Here we go!

dramatic night.

[woman] Welcome

to the press conference of Iran

ahead of the match against

United States of America.

The World Cup is an opportunity

to address issues that face nations.

[reporter 1] You mentioned

about the difficulties

for the situation back home in Iran.

Could you talk about that

and how you and the Iran players feel?

[Aluko] Given the issues in Iran,

the Iranian players

had to make a statement.

[shutter clicks]

[in Persian] In the name

of the God of rainbows

First, let me express my condolences

to the bereaved families in Iran.

We have to accept the fact that

the situation in our country

is not great, and our people

[in English] Be there for Iran!

[reporter 2] The demonstrations

began more than four weeks ago

following the death in custody

of Mahsa Amini.

Mahsa Amini!

[woman] Say her name!

Mahsa Amini!

[in Persian] Our people are not happy.

All upset.

[reporter 3 in English]

The Iranian crackdown

on anti-government protests,

at least 185 people have been k*lled

over the past few weeks.

[Aluko] That is courage,

to see women sacrificing

their life.

[indistinct chatter]

[reporter 4 in Persian]

Has your squad been punished

for not singing

the Iranian national anthem?

Are you concerned by

the consequences of not singing it?

[announcer] And now, the national anthem

of Islamic Republic of Iran.

[anthem playing]

[Aluko] In the world we live in now,

we see a lot of performative action

that are important,

but it's without consequence.

[Rasmus] When we saw

what the Iranian team did

during the national anthem,

they didn't sing at all.

[Aluko] What separated the Iranian team

is there's genuine consequence.

Being imprisoned,

threat of death sentence.

There was nothing performative about it.

If people are dying in your country,

you are of course willing

to risk more to send a signal.

[Ehsan in Persian] We are here,

so there is no reason

we can't be their voice.

[crowd chanting] Iran! Iran!

[commentator 1] The Islamic Republic

of Iran are looking for a reaction

from their 6-2 defeat to England.

Iran will be out

if they are beaten today by Wales.

[crowd cheering]

Woman, life, freedom.

[Rasmus] After what they did,

not singing the national anthem,

I think a lot of Iranians thought,

"Wow, they are actually representing us."

[crowd cheering]

Iran!

[commentator 1] Wales,

desperately backpedaling.

[crowd exclaiming]

Azmoun against the post!

Iran looking to break,

Hennessey's come out a long way!

Hennessey with

the challenge there on Taremi!

A red card will be shown.

And Iran, can they find a winner?

So close.

Tense final few minutes.

Iran will press again

Allen with the clearance.

[crowd roaring]

Iran have won it!

With virtually

the final kick of the match!

And here come Iran again

Ward comes out And can't make the save!

And Iran have scored again!

[referee blows whistle]

[Ehsan] What we want to do is to give

this gift to Iranian fans.

This game was a gift to them.

[Morteza] Any game we go inside the field,

one minute or 90 minutes,

we will fight for their heart

and we'll fight for their happiness.

[all cheering]

Saying that sport and politics

has to be divided,

it's easy to say,

but it's very difficult in practice.

[commentator 1]

A day to treasure for Iran,

who go into their final match

against the USA

knowing that if they win that,

they'd be going through.

Iran versus USA

will always make headlines.

[man] Let's do it.

When you're captain,

you're in the spotlight.

As soon as I walked into,

into that press conference,

you could just tell immediately

how hostile it was about to be.

[reporter 1] A question for Tyler.

What's your view when the US federation

put out this flag

to support the regime critics in Iran?

Listen, we support Iran's people

and Iran's team

[reporter 2] Hello, hi. You're pronouncing

our country's name wrong.

Our country is named Iran, not "eye-ran."

Please once and for all,

let's get this clear.

My apologies on the mispronunciation

of your country.

[reporter 2] Are you okay to be

representing the US

meanwhile there's so much discrimination

happening against Black people in America?

You know, there's discrimination

everywhere you go.

Growing up, for me,

I grew up in a white family

with obviously an African American

heritage and background as well,

so I had a little bit

of different cultures

and I was very easily able

to assimilate in different cultures.

So, not everyone has that ease

and, uh, the ability to do that

and it takes longer to understand,

and through education,

I think it's super important.

Like you just educated me now

on the pronunciation of your country,

so, um, yeah, it's a process.

I think as long as you see progress,

that's the most important thing.

When he asked me that,

it wasn't him attacking me,

me attacking him

or going at him in any sense.

We knew we were going to deal

with a lot of things

that had nothing to do

with our performance.

[indistinct chatter]

[coach] As we attack, you're ready.

You're smelling, you're hunting.

You're hunting to win the ball back.

High emotions, high stakes.

This is that on steroids,

to another level.

Twenty-six brothers

doing anything it takes,

whatever it takes,

refusing to leave the [bleep] field

until we extend our [bleep] journey

tonight and we get to earn another game.

[all] USA!

[Adams] So, going into this game,

it was do or die.

[Ehsan in Persian] We are here to fight

[crowd cheering]

and I hope we achieve the result

the Iranian people want.

[referee blows whistle]

And make them happy.

[commentator 1] These two nations have

knockout football on their mind

and are ready to do the necessary.

So noisy in here tonight.

[commentator 2] Such a tense atmosphere.

[crowd beating drums

and chanting indistinctly]

[commentator 1] Adams

McKennie Saw the run of Dest.

And there he is, and Pulisic's in there!

Who from this game is going through?

And it might be Iran!

- And that was so, so close.

- [crowd exclaiming]

- [referee blows whistle]

- The final whistle.

[crowd cheering]

Smiles aplenty from those in blue.

The contrast of emotion

is there for all to see.

[yelling indistinctly]

Come on! Let's [bleep] go!

[Adams] I was happy.

I was very, very proud of the team.

They just put so much

into those first three games

to reach our first goal of

making it to the Round of 16.

[commentator 1] After a uniquely

thrilling group stage,

the 2022 FIFA World Cup moves

into the phase where

traditionally the greatest drama lies.

[in Dutch] The group stage is completely

different from the knockout stage.

[Adams in English]

Win or go home.

[commentator 1]

Football at its most unforgiving.

[Kane] Now it's almost a second

competition of knockout football.

[in French] Anything is possible now.

It could all rest on one match.

[in English] Fine margins

can make the difference.

[Spanish commentator] Goal!

I love you, Argentina! We're through!

I love you, Argentina!

We're through.

[in Portuguese] It's not

a "win or go home" match for us.

Winning is the only option.

- [commentator 1] Casemiro!

- [crowd cheering]

Brazil's place in the Round of 16

has been confirmed.

Celebrations for Croatia!

Captain Fantastic!

Rashford

- Absolutely magnificent.

- [cheering]

[commentator 2] Son still going,

support arriving

Oh, they've scored!

But they've got to wait.

[imperceptible]

[commentator 3] This is awful.

As a player, now you're hoping

that the result in the other game

goes your way.

[commentator 2] Any moment now!

They know they're through!

That was the longest six minutes

of my life.

[commentator 2] Knockout football

for Korea Republic!

[Son] We beat one of the best teams

and stayed longer in Qatar.

[commentator 4 in Arabic]

What a goal! Allah is great.

- [crowd cheering]

- [commentator 1] Mbappé!

[in English] And the Round of 16

looms large for the French!

Bruno Fernandes does the business!

[commentator 2] What legacy

will be left here in Qatar?

[commentator 3] Mathew Leckie embraces

the moment for the Socceroos!

[man 1] Can you believe it?

[commentator 4] It's qualification

to the Round of 16.

[man 2] The show goes on.

[news anchor] Well, no rest

for our winning Socceroos

as the side begins to recover and reset,

ready to face Argentina.

This was touted

as one of the weakest squads

we've ever sent to a World Cup.

Is this a team seriously

that could beat Argentina?

I think to put limits on this team now

would be incredibly foolish,

even with a team that includes Leo Messi.

Just imagine if the Socceroos ended

one of the great international careers.

[commentator 1] Another landmark.

1,000 games for club and country.

It's very difficult

to be the best player

for 15, 16, 17 years.

[crowd cheering]

[in Spanish] He's amazing.

They'll do anything to block him,

to keep him from playing,

to get under his skin.

[commentator 1 in English]

An expl*si*n of the exceptional!

[in Spanish] We see him as a superhero,

as our god.

I would give my life to help him win

a title with his beloved team,

his beloved country.

[producer] It's inevitable that Messi

is the brains and the heart of this team,

the backbone

of what you need on the pitch.

Having him, it would be crazy

not to have him as the brain of this team.

They'd have to destroy

my manager's licence.

Since the beginning

he bet on a united and strong group.

He's the reason why the group

is the way it is today.

Obviously, he is also a great coach

and shows it match after match.

[Martinez] To me, the thing about Scaloni

is the identity of this team

is clear to him.

Sometimes he changes players,

even those you think are

the most important in this team,

but the concept, the identity

is not compromised.

I honestly have huge respect for Scaloni.

Not just as a coach but as a person.

He's a workaholic. Always working.

I think his greatest quality is

creating a group of players

who would die for the team.

[Degenek in English] Leave nothing in

the tank after this game. Come out here.

If we have to [bleep] drag you

off that pitch, we will,

but leave everything out there.

They probably think it's their god-given

right that they have to go through.

We want self-confidence out there.

What a stage to [bleep] make our mark

out there, huh?

These [bleep] don't know

who Australian players are.

Go and show these [bleep] who we are!

And at the end, offer 'em

your [bleep] shirt when you beat 'em.

- Get out there and get into these [bleep].

- [players] Come on!

[referee blows whistle]

[commentator 1]

Messi, switching on again.

Running into big Souttar.

Messi

Getting from Baccus a bruised shin.

[in Spanish] The game was tough,

very physical

[commentator 2 in English]

Australia, competing ferociously.

[Messi in Spanish]

as we knew it would be.

[commentator 2 in English]

It's early days,

but Australia are managing to keep

Argentina out of their box.

[commentator 1] Hefty challenge by Behich.

[commentator 2] A really silly challenge.

Gifting a free kick now

in a dangerous position.

[commentator 1] Dinked in by Messi

And away by Souttar.

Messi

Mac Allister

Messi!

[Spanish commentator] Goal! Goal by Leo!

[crowd roaring]

[commentator 1 in English]

A thousand games, and still he excels.

There'll never be another like him.

That is his first World Cup goal

in the knockout stage.

[referee blows whistle]

And the whistle goes

and don't you just know it,

Messi is the man again.

More World Cup goals than Diego Maradona.

He just wants the medal to go with them.

[bleep]

Come on!

- [bleep]

- [chatter]

We will. When we press,

you've got to squeeze up,

otherwise it makes the space too big

for Jacko and Aaron to cover.

Keep our shape. We'll catch him.

We want to send these [bleep] home.

Come on!

Leave it all out there, come on! [bleep]

Leave it all out there, come on!

[indistinct chatter]

[crowd cheering]

[commentator 1]

Oh, Ryan's got into trouble!

And it's cost him!

Julián Álvarez with the steal!

[commentator 2]

That's a horror moment for Australia.

[commentator 1] Behich

And Goodwin, deflection! Goal!

Now then! Now then

They needed a lucky twist

and their hope is reinvested.

Scaloni is agitated, there's no question.

[commentator 2] There's still time.

There's still time for the Socceroos.

[commentator 1] Behich

Driving off Palacios.

He's still going, Behich! What about this!

[commentator 2] Whoa! What a run!

[crowd exclaiming]

[commentator 1] A minute and a half left.

In by Goodwin

Kuol!

[commentator 2]

And that was the opportunity

for a young man looking to make his mark.

And what a chance for Australia.

[commentator 1] Martínez wins the game.

[in Spanish] We couldn't wrap up

and they had one two chances at the end.

We cheered all the saves

as if they were goals.

[commentator 1 in English]

Argentina, quarterfinalists again,

but, boy,

were they made to sweat in the end.

[crowd singing and cheering]

[Schmeichel] The world of football

is tightening in.

Teams everywhere now

are getting better and better.

The competition between the teams

has narrowed. I think it's more difficult

to play against the teams you thought

you were going to win against.

I think being an underdog

is honestly one of the best feelings.

Everyone roots for them.

[in Japanese] Before the Spain game,

I felt like my heart was being squeezed.

I was calm before

the game against Germany,

but it's definitely better

to have positive tension.

Excessive tension is not good,

but neither is being too relaxed.

[commentator 1 in English] Forty seconds

of stoppage time remaining.

Japan, desperate to cover the spaces,

they can't do so for the moment!

Lukaku, and here's a winner!

Can you believe it?

[Maya in Japanese]

That match revealed a lot of things.

For the past four years,

I have been preparing with the thought of

how I would prepare for a knockout game

like the match we played against Belgium.

[commentator 1 in English]

Japan, down and out.

[in Japanese] When we lost,

my mind went blank. So blank, I felt numb.

I couldn't think,

I didn't want to do anything.

I realized once again

that the World Cup is really a stage

where one mistake

can make all the difference.

- [man] Maya, Maya, Maya! [claps]

- [in English] Thank you.

[fans chanting] Maya, Maya, Maya!

Maya, Maya, Maya!

Maya, Maya, Maya!

[in Japanese] Our history tells you that.

It might sound

over the top, but it's true.

For example, in manufacturing

things like Japanese cars.

The idea of copying various things

and making them even better

is also true in football,

where we go overseas

and absorb different ideas.

[women shrieking]

[Lineker in English] I went there

when J.League started.

I didn't really know what to expect,

and I was asked to go there

not really just to play football,

but it was more to promote the game

and push the new J.League,

this new idea,

this "saka" as they called it.

And it was amazing.

But the players themselves,

everyone was incredibly polite,

really technically sound,

but obviously, at this stage,

they weren't anything

like the level that they are now.

Japan have a style of play, but I think

it's a style of play that's evolved.

[in Japanese] Many of our players

have moved to Europe to play football

and have been able to play against players

from countries that regularly

qualify for the World Cup.

We've been waiting for this day

for 1,617 days.

It's four and a half years

since the match we lost against Belgium.

It's up to us now.

Let's win with all our players. Okay.

- Let's do this!

- Yeah!

[indistinct chatter]

[in English] There is enormous importance

in Japan on not losing face.

As long as they can come out of it

with heads held high,

they'll be treated as heroes.

[commentator 1] Japan have stunned

the big names and now the big prize,

a first-ever World Cup quarterfinal,

is tantalizingly close.

[in Japanese] I told them to be brave

and compete.

That's a given, but every match

we're representing Japan,

so we have to win.

Croatia! Croatia!

[commentator 1 in English] They face

the considerable challenge of Croatia.

The Japan side have come here

to play with courage

and shock a few once again.

- [crowd cheering]

- [horns blowing]

That's another threatening ball And in!

- [crowd roaring]

- Maeda pounces!

And is it going to be

another dream day for Japan?

[commentator 2] Germany, beaten.

Spain, beaten.

Are Croatia going to be next?

The early signs are good for them.

At halftime it's Japan 1, Croatia 0.

[in Japanese] Follow Daichi

and others about that.

Okay, okay, okay.

[in Japanese] Never give the opportunity

away. Missed this chance four years ago.

Form a circle

and unify your will once more.

We're going for another run!

We're going to fight again!

Let's win for sure!

[players] Yeah!

Hang in there!

[commentator 2 in English]

Japan are halfway there.

[commentator 1] Can they pick

the tempo up?

It's going to have to come for Croatia

from that midfield trio,

as it so often does.

[commentator 2]

Lovren will play it in there

- And a wonderful equalizer!

- [crowd cheering]

An absolutely stunning header

from Ivan Perišić.

Modrić

[all exclaiming]

[commentator 2] Another moment

of Modrić magic.

[commentator 1] This is an interesting

one, Luka Modrić is being withdrawn.

[commentator 2] He most certainly would

have stepped up and taken a penalty.

[commentator 1] You hate to say this,

but could this be the moment he walks away

from the World Cup stage

for the very last time?

[commentator 2] A tremendous run

by Mitoma!

[referee blows whistle]

It is the incomparable football theatre

that is a penalty competition.

[commentator 2] Minamino then

against Livaković,

hoping to give Japan the perfect start

- No!

- [yells indistinctly]

It's a perfect start for Croatia!

Livaković saves again.

And Japan's dream

is beginning to fade here.

[referee blows whistle]

The veteran Yoshida will take.

[referee blows whistle]

Yoshida the captain steps up

And he's denied!

And Livaković has left his nation

one kick away

from a place in the quarterfinals.

[Croatian commentator] Pašalić! Pašalić!

We're going to the quarterfinal!

[commentator 2 in English] For Japan,

it's the old familiar tale.

The last 16 proves the limit once again.

Absolute heartbreak tonight for Japan.

Sum up your feelings.

[exhales]

We did everything what we could do.

A great team.

We showed great spirit, performance

throughout the tournament.

We beat Germany, Spain.

I'm very proud of my team,

I'm proud of my teammates.

Yeah.

I really enjoyed this tournament.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

[Lyes] When you get to these knockout

games where you have David and Goliath

and, really, David cannot compete

on a level playing field over 90 minutes,

over 120 minutes and beat that Goliath,

penalty kicks is really something

that levels the draws for them.

It puts them on an even playing field.

[in Spanish] For me to be able to play

another World Cup was very exciting.

I know it was my last World Cup.

- [man in Spanish] Busi, the avenger one.

- Not Busi.

Is he going to k*ll him?

Is Busi going to kick him out?

He kicks him out!

We have kicked out a cannonballer.

[indistinct chatter]

Cannonballer out!

[in English] You have to be prepared

to be good in penalty shootouts.

You have to be confident, to know

what you're doing, to have a routine.

[Lyes] It's mostly about mentality.

So, for a team that

doesn't really expect to be there,

they have less pressure

taking that penalty kick

than a team that may have just

dominated the whole game.

[in French] The mental side

has also been this squad's strength

since the beginning of the competition.

As for the penalty shootout,

teams often prepare beforehand,

including us.

[Enrique in Spanish]

Many players practiced penalties

after the training sessions.

I already warned the players,

"You have homework to do."

"Take at least 1,000 penalties

before the World Cup."

[Busquets in Spanish] When you reach

the final minutes,

it's better to go to extra time

than to risk it all.

[Koke] They were talking about changing

the order of the penalty takers.

They tried different things.

Two consecutive penalties per team.

The next player up shoots

with more pressure.

Of course.

They always sh**t

aiming to tie the shootout.

Yes.

And then the fifth person up

must score to win.

When you take the last penalty to tie,

it's nerve-wracking.

[Busquets] With penalties, it's hard.

I don't know if Spain have a mental block.

[English commentator 1] He's saved it!

[in Spanish] Spain

always lose on penalties.

They're the curse of Spain.

[Fàbregas in English]

Going into a penalty shootout,

it's one of the most

difficult experiences you can have.

[commentator 1]

If Spain miss the next one,

Russia win.

[referee blows whistle]

Akinfeev saves!

For Spain, it is the plane.

[Fàbregas] Seeing some of my friends

missing penalties and going out that way

was tough to take.

[commentator 1]

Spain, they are out of here!

This was not meant to happen.

[Saïss in French] No matter the opponent,

the most important thing

was to believe in ourselves.

In football, anything is possible,

regardless of who the opponent is.

[in Spanish] They're gonna come out strong

from kickoff, let's not get caught.

Match them in the one-on-ones,

second plays, 50/50 ba*ls.

We have to keep all that in mind

from the start.

We knew it would be a tough game

and we had the utmost respect for them.

- One, two, three.

- [all] Come on!

[players] Come on!

[man] Come on!

[indistinct chatter]

[cheering]

[commentator 1 in English]

Near neighbors Spain

haven't progressed past the Round of 16

since winning the World Cup 12 years ago.

And they know this one has

potential banana skin written all over it.

[referee blows whistle]

Well, the color and the atmosphere

just goes up a notch or two.

[Busquets in Spanish] The Moroccan fans

practically filled the stadium.

So we knew we had to play

with that disadvantage.

[producer] Saïss has said that

his hero is Sergio Busquets.

Did you know that?

No, I didn't.

Anyway, I don't know if it's true or not,

but if it is true, it's very nice that

your opponents say things like that.

[Saïss in French] The way he plays

is incredible, in my opinion.

[Busquets in Spanish] I knew Saïss too

from Premier League.

He encouraged his teammates

in every action.

[Saïss in French] His intelligence,

the way he moves,

all of these things are impressive to me.

[Busquets in Spanish] He was a player

who was always giving commands,

especially to the defense,

asking them to work together.

The game gets decided by small details,

something you do or don't do.

[crowd chanting indistinctly]

[commentator 1 in English] Spain need to

get it into the penalty area sharpish

if they're to create something.

Spain still move the ball around as if

they've got all the time in the world.

[kids chattering]

[commentator 1] Morocco, hanging on

by their fingernails here

at the end of extra time.

Busquets

The ball comes in!

He almost wins it

with the last kick of extra time!

It's goalless,

and somehow Morocco survive.

[referee blows whistle]

And now spot kicks to determine

who goes on to a quarterfinal

and who goes home in the cruelest manner.

Morocco in a shootout

at the World Cup for the first time.

Spain have been in this situation before.

It is the captain Busquets

with a few final words.

The Moroccan fans, vastly outnumbering

their Spanish counterparts.

These two sets of players now,

they just need to keep a cool head

and hope that

luck is perhaps on their side.

Sabiri has made the long walk first.

We are ready.

Sabiri against Unai Simón.

Penalty number one.

[Arabic commentator] Sabiri scores!

[commentator 1 in English]

Cool as a cucumber.

[crowd roaring]

Pablo Sarabia.

It's Sarabia

He's missed!

He hit the post

in the last kick of extra time

and he's hit the post

with his penalty kick!

Early advantage, Morocco.

[Arabic commentator] Hakim Ziyech

- Ziyech scores a goal!

- [crowd roaring]

[commentator 1 in English]

Two out of two for Morocco.

Carlos Soler for Spain.

[crowd whistling]

Whistles loud enough

to make your ears ring in the stadium.

It's saved!

[Arabic commentator]

Bono! Well done, Bono!

[commentator 1 in English]

Spain in big trouble.

[Arabic commentator speaking]

[chanting in Spanish] Spain! Spain!

[commentator 2 in English]

Hope for Luis Enrique and Spain.

[commentator 1] Here comes their captain,

Sergio Busquets.

[in Spanish] When that time comes,

it's a difficult moment.

When you go towards the ball,

you have to walk a long way.

There's a lot going on in your head.

[Arabic commentator] Here we go,

Busquets. And Bono! Bono! Bono!

[commentator 1 in English]

Morocco in the driving seat!

And Spain on the precipice.

Achraf Hakimi, born in Madrid,

born and raised in Spain

can send them home.

- [referee blows whistle]

- Morocco with a chance

to win it and go through

- [Arabic commentator] Goal! Goal! Goal!

- [crowd cheering]

[commentator 1] What a moment for Morocco!

Achraf Hakimi!

Morocco, into the quarterfinals

for the first time ever!

[commentator 2] Heartbreak for Spain.

They'll feel plenty of sympathy for them.

[commentator 1] They're heading home,

Morocco are marching on,

and three quarters of this stadium

dancing in delight.

[Arabic commentator]

History has been written.

What an epic battle from these heroes!

[commentator 2 in English]

They have put everything into this.

[whooping triumphantly]

[singing in Arabic]

[exclaiming]

[commentator 1] Moroccan celebrations

will go on long into the night.

[cheering and singing]

[reporter 1] Let's go across

to my colleague Osama

for the latest news coming in

from the world of sport.

It's saddening news

of the Brazilian football legend Pelé.

[reporter 2] Brazil football legend Pelé

has been readmitted to hospital

[reporter 3] The 82-year-old

had been moved to the end of life care.

Ladies and gentlemen,

- [in Portuguese] Friends Okay?

- [man] Yes.

He's our king.

Thiago Silva and I

talked about Pelé.

We said that it was our dream

to have a picture taken with him.

And that got me emotional.

I said, "Damn it."

[Izidro in English]

Pelé was the first global icon.

He transcended sport.

[in Portuguese] The way he played,

the magical way he handled the ball.

The green and yellow of Brazil

and the Brazilian national team

started to become a reference

in every country around the world.

[in English] He left such a legacy

that football was something before Pelé

and then it was something else after Pelé.

Would you welcome warmly please, Pelé.

[audience exclaiming]

You are incredible.

[Izidro] Every Brazilian player since Pelé

has embodied his spirit.

From Sócrates to Zico.

[commentator 1] Goal!

[Izidro] Romário to Ronaldo.

[commentator 1] Goal!

[Izidro] Kakáto Neymar.

[crowd cheering]

You always think of Brazil

as one of your teams

because of the history of the country.

[in Portuguese] He's left an incredible

legacy for all generations.

[Guardiola in English] Before,

number 10 was just a number.

And after him, it became something

like a something special.

Every top player

want to wear the number ten.

[commentator 2] Diego Armando Maradona!

[commentator 3] Number 10 Neymar returns

after two games out with an ankle problem.

Brazil, they will

be put to the test tonight

by Korea Republic.

[in Portuguese] It's not about

drumming up motivation

so that we play well.

It's about playing well,

then paying tribute to him.

The only moment he was fully conscious

was during our matches.

[Silva] The news about Pelé

meant we arrived emotionally shaken

against South Korea.

One single mistake in the match,

and we're out.

[indistinct]

[reporter in English]

The update as of now is that

Pelé's condition has worsened further.

[commentator 1] Thoughts are sent the way

of a national hero.

A pressure game calling for big players,

and they don't come much bigger

in impact than Neymar.

Brazil, fascinating,

fancied and fed on history.

Korea Republic, bold, bright and brave.

They are dancing to the same beats.

We must have a winner.

Vinicius

[commentator 2] Brazil leads!

With just moments on the clock.

A goal scored with a swagger.

Korea Republic have it all to do already.

[commentator 1] Now,

that's an interesting one. Penalty!

[crowd cheering]

[commentator 2] Neymar,

makes it look so simple

as Brazil have the game.

[Silva in Portuguese] This was

our demonstration of care and affection,

of pride in being Brazilian,

of having him as our eternal king.

[commentator 2 in English] Nicely done

He might get it back He does! Oh!

It is a blockbuster Brazil start.

And even the head coach

is more than happy to join in.

Vinicius

Paquetá!

Four-nil Brazil.

Lucas Paquetá.

That is Brazil in a nutshell.

An emphatic victory.

Quality and quantity.

The Brazilians are favorites.

Look at their players,

if you give one of them space, they score.

I don't wanna blame any of our players

because they gave everything.

[commentator 1] Korea Republic, outfought,

outplayed and sadly for them, out.

Brazil, though, stride on.

[in Portuguese] He's going to continue

in our lives.

Pelé will never be forgotten.

[man 1 in English] Portugal have dropped

Cristiano Ronaldo to the bench.

It's a very, very big moment

in this World Cup.

[in Portuguese] Talk about

the competition. Don't ask them about me.

[Laurens in English] This the moment

that matters most.

Anything can happen.

[in Croatian] Everyone makes mistakes.

Your problem is

I think that you're frightened

of making a mistake.

[crowd cheering]

[in English]

It's important you control your emotions.

[commentator 1] It's Neymar!

[commentator 2] Goal, goal, goal!

We're fragile. We're all fragile.

[inaudible]

[in French] We know we can do something

historic for African football.

[cheering]

[in English] Your superstars

have to shine. If they don't shine

[commentator] Penalties it will be.

[Laurens]this is where you go home.

[indistinct chatter]
