Min 0: Orgullo opens up with a 4-2-4 E while the Dragons will play a 4-3-3 N.
Min 0: Today's referee is Steve Turner (STRONG/STRICT).
Min 0: Colin Scott (OPT) - Cup Semi-final
Min 0: Sergei Gavino (ORA) - GD has too much firepower and a star GK to face them without 1 of our 
best players. :(
Min 5: Óscar De Marcos's appalling clearance goes right to Gabriel Paulista (GD)...
        ...who knocks the ball onto the head of Bukayo Saka...
        ...who heads it on goal but An Gearasdan is there to collect it.
Min 6: An Gearasdan makes a grave error against Dragons...
        ...he comes out to claim, misses it...
        ...but Reiss Nelson amazingly hits the side post and it rebounds into the arms of An Gearasdan.
Min 7: Gabriel Almeida (GD) escapes the offside flag...
        ...as a ball is played up to him...
        ...but César Azpilicueta (ORA) muscles out the big striker before he can control.
Min 8: Bukayo Saka (GD) collects on that right flank...
        ...his cross ricochets to the American striker Myles Lewis-Skelly...
        ...whose finish is saved by An Gearasdan.
Min 13: Bukayo Saka finds some space in the middle of the pitch...
        ...hits an audacious 30-yard shot...
        ...An Gearasdan palms the shot onto the bar...
        ...it spins back to Gabriel Almeida who heads the ball...
        ...and its in the back of the net from 8-yards out! GOAL!!!!!...
        ...it's a lead that Mark Creasey's side deserve - can they add to it before the break?...
        ...score now: ORA 0 - GD 1
Min 17: With Dragons so far forward a rare Orgullo break sees Will Osula play a long diagonal pass for Julen Guerrero...
        ...he has acres of space but has wandered off-side. 
Min 28: Steve Banks's header back towards his own goal is latched on to by Julen Guerrero (ORA)...
        ...but the flag goes up for offside!...
        ...it was a Dragons man who played it on - ludicrous decision. 
Min 35: Óscar De Marcos (ORA) and Billly break for Orgullo...
        ...Billly looks to have found space into which to recieve Óscar De Marcos's through ball...
        ...but some fantastic defending from Myles Lewis-Skelly (GD) sees the danger snuffed out.
Min 40: An Gearasdan blocks but the ball is played back into the area...
        ...and Shaun Batty (GD) smashes a volley over An Gearasdan and over the bar from an angle...

        ...terrible defending by the Colchonero.
Min 42: Will Osula (ORA) hits a sweet half-volley...
        ...caught by David Raya!

Min 71: Mikel Arteta (GD) puts the ball in the box from the left...
