  • "After eight minutes, Darijo Srna squeezed a square pass from the right and Portsmouth's Niko Kranjcar, relishing a lot of room, cracked a drive from 30 yards. The ball swerved a little, but Carson, in his first competitive international, misread the flight and failed to get his body behind an attempt that bounced before him and into the net." Niko Kranjčar, 8'7:37
  • "As Eduardo da Silva, of Arsenal, moved in from the right in the 14th minute, Wayne Bridge stayed deep and so left Ivica Olic onside to gather a slick through-ball, walk round Carson and finish." Ivica Olić, 14'13:10
  • "But Mladen Petric fired in from 25 yards to break England's hearts." Mladen Petrić, 77'76:37
