Valderrama y Colombia aplastan a Israel y clasifican al Mundial después de 30 años! (1989)

Israel as well in 1980. Yes, we've played Israel twice in the last few years. And Drew twice in... Once again of Escobar and Perea. The man on the ball with the captain's armband of course. We all recognise him by now. Now they've got it back, the playmaker in me around him. And here he is once again, always looks comfortable on those sides for political reasons. Players about the first half to get used to this little give-and-goes in the one-twos. In the second half we stressed it out, we only dug ourselves. Now the Colombians beginning to settle down. Now the target man for the Israelis. And look at Higuita there, way ahead of his goal. The cynicism so far. Fitness. Maturana who will have some harsh words in the halftime dressing room I should think, Dom. Galeano. He's a strong boy. The Oceania group getting through in... Certainly and he gets a header in straight away there to deny Israel from the free-kick. Now here he is. Cross into the near post. Can Israel get it here? Has been rock solid certainly so far in the first 48 minutes. Here's Galeano now. And there that long-legged stride that Dom was talking about. The cross comes in. Shot from Higuan. And it's away. And the Israeli defence... Certainly second-half substitute Galeano has already made an impact in the game. Goes for the return from Valderrama. Denied this time. It's live World Cup football on Screensport. We're in Barranquilla for this World Cup playoff. The first of two legs. Colombia in the red against Israel. The score 0-0. About seven minutes into the second half. Galeano once again taking on three Israeli defenders. Tremendous backdrop. Great drama. In this Caribbean seaport. And football certainly would not be out of place in the World Cup finals. But Israel lacking one or two star members through the rest of the squad. And it's rather a thin 11 in fact that they've brought here to Barranquilla. I seem to remember Hullert himself having a very quiet start to the European Championships of course for the Netherlands last summer. And then it all came good in the final. So perhaps Valderrama saving himself here. As the keepers out to block. Not sure where the ball had gone. By Ginsberg's rush. As his hit. Teasing and tormenting. The ball again. A lovely chip from Valderrama. Can he turn the cross in from the byline? Cut out by the keeper. Breakdown this Israeli team in February of last year. And a friendly in Tel Aviv which also finished Israel 0-0. That's the scoreline here in Barranquilla. Colombia line up the shot. And everybody settles down. Everybody gets relaxed. So he started the second half. Yes. Goes for the return. It's a good one too. The cross from Galliano. Wants to take the fall back on. To the left. On to the right. Ginsberg cuts it out. Former possession. He's seen plenty of the ball as we knew he would. Because they're doing the same thing. I mean it's a little give and go. And if the first man. Just the man behind. And so far they've been very disciplined. Yes the free kicks have been a good kind of 30 yards out. Now this is Galliano. Can he keep it in play? A tremendous stride at the number 7. Needs a good cross. Well once again that's what we've been saying. Club sign Atlético Nacional of Medellín. An intelligent dummy. But it did nothing but leave the ball for Higuita. And look at this from the Colombian keeper. Well this is quite incredible. Well that's. I mean I've never seen anything like it. Jose Rene Higuita. Giving us the highlight of the second half here. And just to rub salt into the wounds as he. Launches on a 40 yard maze. He dribbled to the halfway line. One of the Israeli defenders gets booked. For having the temerity to bring him down. Now this is Galliano. That's a good ball. Galliano with a chance it's there. Galliano has done it. Galliano the substitute has come off the bench. And opened the scoring for Colombia. It's Colombia 1. Israel 0. He's done that about twice. If he can't get. Kind of outside the fullback. He's come inside. Played it in like he's played it there. Got on the end of the return. On the far side. Back come Colombia. Now their tails are up. Been virtually eliminated with that substitution. Just Ohana. Has it's reward. 28 minutes into the second half. Colombia. Edging Israel here by the solitary goal. Scored by the substitute. Here they are once again into the Israeli box. Valderrama shot this chance. About the 70 minutes so far played. Well obviously the coach would like another goal. They get one here. Reaches Iguaran. On the edge of the box. Goes for the chip. Flying header. Denied Israel. Get it out to this near touchline. Now the number 4 breaking into the box. Turns it back. Now that's too high for Iguaran. The minutes tick by here in Barranquilla. The crescendo of noise continues unabated. In the new stadium. Iguaran. He's had a quiet 10 minutes. Hasn't seen too much of the ball. Lovely piece of trickery from the Colombian. Ginsberg is out. Released the ball. Oh look how quickly the Colombians are in there. And they win it back. And here it has been played in an excellent spirit. We've seen plenty of good football. Most of it of course from the team in red. Much of it from these two players. That it is. That is indeed the final whistle. There it is. Silvaltro. Scored by Galliano. The substitute who came off the bench. Started the second half.
