By Both these games were played whilst I was at work today and I never got an opportunity to see either game. Slovakia took the lead in the first game after 50 minutes. Some hesitancy from defender Winston Reid allowed Robert Vittek to head in from a Stanislav Sestak cross. Although, replays suggest that Vittek may have been slightly offside. The equaliser came with 30 seconds left and was scored courtesy of Winston Reid; as he atones for his earlier error and heads in from 8 yards out. It seems that the best action from the second game was Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the post with a dipping, swerving shot from 25 yards out that had keeper Boubacar Barry well beaten. He also went close late on from a free kick. Another game or two and he might just have the taming of the Jabulani.
