          ...  I think he was lucky to escape with a caution! 
Min. 122:(ars) Nolito flicks the ball through 
          ...  G_Higuain runs onto it! 
          ...  H_Bellerin reads the play well 
Min. 122:(ars) G_Higuain knocks the ball past the lunge of N_Otamendi 
          ...  L_Suarez had better start being careful if he continues to tackle like that

          ...  That’s his second of the game ! 
          ...  He heads of towards the changing rooms
