Match No. 862 - Wednesday, 26th March 2008, 9:00pm
"However, the first time France managed to thread a pass through the England defence they won the penalty from which they scored. Anelka collected Francois Clerc's defence-splitting ball and closed in on goal before he was dramatically sent flying by James [30:05], who had rushed off his line but was undone by a clever touch from the Chelsea striker. Ribery then completely outwitted James from 12 yards, sending the 37-year-old the wrong way [31:18]." Franck Ribéry, 32'31:18 (pen)
