Match No. 879 - Saturday, 10th October 2009, 7:15pm

"A spell of Ukraine pressure on the edge of the England area, as Capello's players briefly tried to operate with just three in midfield, was ended when Glen Johnson made a tackle. Sergei Nazarenko reached the loose ball before Steven Gerrard and smacked a first-time shot of real force that took a sizeable deflection off Ashley Cole on its way past a stranded James. It was not turning out to be much of a night for goalkeepers." Serhiy Nazarenko, 29'28:51

Goalkeeper 12:45 "John Terry had just stood firm to dispossess the rushing Andriy Shevchenko, and had carried the ball upfield to send over a cross that Wayne Rooney just failed to reach at the far post. With Terry still out of position, Ukraine sent a quick ball forward down the right and found Ferdinand dawdling. Milevskiy was goalside of England's last defender in a flash, and just as Green realised it would be down to him to prevent the danger, he spied a chance to claim the ball and went for it, succeeding only in bringing the Ukraine striker down. As it was a penalty, it had to be a red card too, and after beginning the game by waiting two minutes for a succession of flares to be cleared from his penalty area, Green departed after being active on the pitch for even less time than the clock suggested."

Notes

Game stoppageAfter only 40 seconds the game is stopped as flares had been thrown into the England goal area causing a two minute delay. The game was stopped again briefly for more missiles after the missed penalty.
Green: Red Card"John Terry had just stood firm to dispossess the rushing Andriy Shevchenko, and had carried the ball upfield to send over a cross that Wayne Rooney just failed to reach at the far post. With Terry still out of position, Ukraine sent a quick ball forward down the right and found Ferdinand dawdling. Milevskiy was goalside of England's last defender in a flash, and just as Green realised it would be down to him to prevent the danger, he spied a chance to claim the ball and went for it, succeeding only in bringing the Ukraine striker down [12:31]. As it was a penalty, it had to be a red card too, and after beginning the game by waiting two minutes for a succession of flares to be cleared from his penalty area, Green departed after being active on the pitch for even less time than the clock suggested."
Shevchenko: Missed Penalty"The only consolation for England, as David James was given his chance to shine earlier than expected and Aaron Lennon also found his evening's work at an end, was that Shevchenko missed the penalty, generously striking the foot of a post so that the new goalkeeper was not required to make a save [15:27]."
