But it's Mendes! And he drills it in! Yeah, the composure he brings, that's a big pillar you're bringing back into your starting lineup here today. He's going to be designed with killing counterattacks. Mendes, lovely cross! And Aldo needs here today. This is a beautifully delivered ball from Nuno Mendes. That's what you're looking for today, him facing... Bruno Mendes. He was wide open central. It's a good ball for Bruno Fernandes. Sweeps it over. But it's Mendes! And he drills it in! And you see here that three-man wall moves. Ronaldo's the decoy. Everybody's attention is focused on him. But I always thought this favorite, a left-footed player, didn't know if Ronaldo would give that up to Nuno Mendes well he did Felix challenge Mendes looking for a way around Karimov and taken down Nazrylaev who is known for his crossing ability that's not bad seen off by Nuno Mendes only partially away by Abdelayev and off for Uzbekistan he got an option to his right in Janiev and Nuno Mendes using all of his pace to get back He lost it Shamatov being hunted down by Mendes who not only wins it but keeps it in play Vega getting the better of Shamaradov, oh you saw Shamaradov Nuno Mendes only partially away Shamarado's first touch was too heavy and they're horribly exposed as of now injury and feigning injury and things like that it's been positive you can see players jump up quickly by Husanov and there's a boot on that they're invited to come forward again Nuno Mendes, Ronaldo and credited to Husanov and it's back with the goalkeeper again which uh let's say he doesn't want he's had a thought shimardov could have picked it up close to being five one back again by nuno mendez no silver we're in the 90th minute now you know mendez trincao all part of the learning process So I'm almost up in Houston, but maybe still time for one last goal.
