In the other semi-final, Germany lead France 2:0, with 10 mins to go to HT. Can't see anything other than an England v Germany Final.
 
England face Germany in European Under-21 Championship final, tonight live on Channel 4, ko 8.00pm
 
Got this score from an obscure website NCFC 2 v Northampton 1. Sofascore.

Jurasek substituted midway first half. I hope he is not injured again.

Apparently planned, and he scored the first goal. His replacement La'Sean Sealy got the second.

Followed the Pinkun commentary. Jurásek scored the first goal after beating his man then rounding the keeper to score. The second was scored by La'sean Sealey. Forson, who had done well before, lost the ball on the edge of our area and Northampton converted. Jurásek and Wright were impressive in the first half and Crnac started brightly in the second half but then faded. The 3rd goal came in the 89th minute as Aboh streaked away from the Northampton backline and squared for Jordan Willis to turn into his own net with the last kick of the game.

Question from poster MC: "Anyone showing themselves in a good light in this 2nd half?"
Answer from CS: "Crnac started brightly. It's faded a lot."
I didn't take the "It's" to refer to Crnac specifically; it was a general comment; "Not much going on at the moment. We've descended into pre-season sparring."

It depends on how you read it I suppose, but CS was generally favourable about Cynac's performance overall. With a temperature of 26°, all the players were bound to fade a bit in a first preseason game.

Having listened to his post match review I think he meant the second half in general, he highlighted Crnac as the best player in the second half, he was deployed in more of a second striker / number 10 role apparently behind Jones.

Flashpoint in the second half was an altercation between Hills and ex Norwich academy player McGeehan. After a big clash of heads which left them both bleeding, the appeared to get involved in a tussle in the sidelines, score both were substitutes for further treatment to their wounds.
