        ...before Tommy Conway's (VAN) ball into the box is cut out by Ross Tree (CHV).
Min 71: Nathaniel Leaf almost penetrates Canadians's sheilds with a dazzling volley...
        ... a little more power and Martin Odegaard would have lost his well placed foot.?

        ...Nathaniel Leaf takes a heavy touch into the box...
        ...and M Sliwinski rushes of his line...
