Keepers checking their notes. I'm not up enough on either of these teams to know if one is a better PK stopper.
Wonder if there's a statistical home advantage in PKs. Sparta kicks first Barkas for Utrecht looks nervous... Sparta scores on an unstoppable kick. Dost plays the stutter and sneaks it in... 1-1. Sparta hard down the middle 2-1... Booth scores - soft low left 2-2 Sparta scores - hard low left... 3-2 vdStreek scores hard and low 3-3 Sparta scores - 4-3 cornrow kid makes it - boussaid ties it up OMG - horrible miss by sparta... Utrecht need this... Brouwers is saved... 4-3... ugh
Booth starts against PSV with Pepsi and Tillman on the bench. Playing on the right up front, apparent 4-3-3z
Back on defense, beaten by a through ball he might have been able to read and stop. Leads to a good shot and good keeper save.
He knew they weren’t gonna score there. Setting Pepi up to be the hero. Speaking of Pepi, I wish Utrecht had the ball more so I could see super peppy Booth. He became my favorite YA to watch post WC.
Hasn’t seen much of the ball. Either due to a poor pass just a minute ago or no pass. Ball has mostly been going through the left side in attack.
I was hoping for cramps. Still hoping for cramps, but I’m sure it didn’t feel that way to him. Fingers crossed that it turns out everyone was being really cautious.
